That link doesn't work now, it's access denied.. I wonder if they ran out of keys.

I have been having a suspicion they're going to be part of Soundwide / Native Instruments.

I did wonder that and it all works to upgrade. The wording is the same across both sites, that it's a crossgrade from any bundle. Likely they meant Diamond and Mix as they already said they were excluding Essentials from custom vouchers and same with Creative. They may update the wording on the pages, but I think they likely pulled this as their helpdesk was going into meltdown with everyone requesting upgrade pricing. Hard to know with UA these days though! Haha...

I do not believe so.. pretty safe to say they have officially left the building ?

Ooops.. at least if they're complaining about no presents you can add some nice delay, reverb and vintage mojo to the voice ?

I don't want to sway you either way just in case, but at best I'd imagine it's the same.

I love mixing in Harrison and totally worth it for that alone. Reaper is probably better for MIDI/VST instruments though in that price range. I prefer Cubase, but Reaper is a damn good price!

UA has become totally uninteresting for now and I may even unsubscribe for a bit until they work out decent offers for existing customers based on what you own. UA is in the bottom of my Black Friday sales for now.

I may regret it, as if they do integrate, or bundle SSL, I might end up paying more, but I have been thinking of waiting to see what happens there, so maybe V10 for me. Thanks for sharing the link for the discount though ?

I love some of their stuff... but damn that sounds expensive for it! Haha..

Yep, they do tend to do the really cheap bundle with the basic version. I have considered buying it one time for the plugins more, as they work in 32C which I own and it's cheaper than buying them individually. A couple of them I really like too. Simple, but very good. I don't think SSL will, but it's always hard to know for sure. I can more imagine them having SSL bundles and also integrating some of them natively inside Mixbus, which would be really good if it panned out that way (and the price wasn't absurdly high) With Harrison, everything seems like it's slowly being migrated across to the SSL store.. they did have some bumps though.. I could redeem the iLok version of Mastering EQ for free, but at first it never sent the license to my iLok. It's working now though.

These videos almost always get misquoted and people bring them up and say they apply to the DAW, so you're definitely not alone ? Always pays to think twice, or be suspicious of anything 95% off. Even though in audio, for some stupid reason it's so prevalent so it's a minefield at times! Nice work with posting so many deals too!

These videos aren't really relevant to the DAW, or the included XT plugins, more the separate channel strip to be used in other DAWs. The saturation isn't from the channel strip in this DAW, it was (when those videos were made) in the busses and you could dial in drive. I believe they've added drive to the channels in Mix bus V9 which is good, as sometimes if I was stem mixing, I'd route each stem to a buss, purely for the colour. Dan's great, but this video was quite possibly the worst he's ever made and he omitted so many of the most important parts. Good for clicks though, so I can see why. Personally I don't rate the plugin in the video, or the other buss one, but the DAW has some really nice color ?

I still like this one and that's insanely good value ?

For me I can see why they might not like it, but I don't think they completely take into account the full picture. I like throwing in some orchestral sounds into other genres and I'm not a composer that works in the orchestral space, so at this stage there is zero chance of me forking out $500+ on a lot of those libraries. By making the pricing more accessible it opens up a new market and new customers that otherwise wouldn't have bought from them. Realistically with Komplete Ultimate, IKM Philharmonik 2 and then some individual libraries that were either free, or heavily discounted, it makes it even harder to justify some of the higher priced libraries, even though for sure they will be better than what I have. Sometimes I like using the orchestral sounds just for fun, not even for a track, so it's more of an indulgence. These prices from 8DIO and some of the other more discounted libraries make that pure indulgence easier to justify and they get sales they wouldn't have had. But now I'm really not sure what the best choices would be out of these, as there are a couple of really interesting looking bundles! I tend towards using strings and brass more personally... any recommendations?

That actually looks really good. Kirchhoff is an impressive EQ, so I would not at all be surprised if this was great too.

Wow.. that's a huge improvement.. nice timing right for Black Friday sales.. they're probably going to sell a bunch more now as that was definitely stopping people.

Not sure if it still works, but I was able to get Gullfoss for about $74 US in their last sale by paying in Chilean Pesos.

Skipping it this round again and might consider V Collection 10 when it comes out. My upgrade offer is $149 for V Collection, so nothing special so I might as well leave it until the new release.. or never.. lots in there, but I have plenty of alternatives to keep me happy. Their upgrade offers are a lucky dip really..

I didn't find the previous plugins from them to be too special, but I still claim these just in case something turns out to be good. I don't even install them these days so hopefully someone posts if they really like one of them!

Kirean has already posted this one ? https://discuss.cakewalk.com/index.php?/topic/68865-united-plugins-some-kind-of-a-black-friday-deal-up-to-76-off/

I had it in my cart and was checking out some reviews and then saw your comment. $299 for Musio 1 seems like a better choice considering everything it includes. Almost seems like there's a catch I'm missing.. This would still have been a great buy though!

If you haven't purchased from the before, you can see my profile signature for an extra 20% off too ?
