I don't want to be an enabler.. but you really should.. it's very good! ?

Oh that sucks.. but was worth a shot. I'm pretty certain the deal will be available at some stage. When UAD went native I ignored all their initial prices. Even with their average sales I ignored them too. I did jump at this one, but I'll still likely let pass any of their stupid regular $89 offers they throw out there. With a lot of the companies that seems to be the best approach. There's never any hurry.. I'm sure we've all got plenty of plugins and instruments to keep us going for a while until their best offers are available ?

In "My Offers" my price still displayed $399 the whole time. Try adding it to the cart and then see what vouchers show up in the cart screen itself. I had a code to copy/paste in there to reduce it down to $99 ?

I registered an account a few months back to see if the offers everyone was getting were available to new accounts, but none of the codes people posted would work (apart from the UALURKERFORLIFE, or whatever it was). Then pretty much the day LoopCloud announced the Polymax synth for free I registered it. Haven't bought anything since. Then a few days ago they sent an email saying: "Special Offers for Our Loopcloud Friends Enjoying PolyMAX Synth? Add even more world‑class sound to your collection with these popular UAD plug‑ins and bundles." I actually missed seeing the first one, as all their emails had been pretty uninspiring offers, so I'd tuned out a little and then saw their follow up email ?

I wonder if it might take a while to process in their systems. Hopefully it does in time before the offer expires. Otherwise I'd imagine it will be offered at the same price again for you anyway in the near future. And yes, the edit / quote thing seems to be catching a lot of people out!

Yes, he did comment on that to confirm ? I would imagine the samples / sounds can't be resold (and shouldn't be anyway really IMO), but the instrument should be fine to use in any of your commercially released tracks, or productions.

I haven't tried that one yet, so that's great to hear ? I love Moogs, so I'd been using that a bit and it's pretty decent. I already liked Polymax when I got that and the Waterfall B3 organ can make some really nice sounds too. Haven't installed the piano yet, but some reports I read aren't super positive. I'll still try it at some stage seeing how it's paid for.

You're not alone.. I caved too ? But for $99 that's pretty good value considering it's UAD. That works out to less than Waves pricing for all of those!

Great meter for free. I still reach for it over some of my paid ones at times.

Are you logged in seeing that price Craig and do you already have UAD plugins? For me it was showing $399 but I only owned one freebie.

At least you ruled that out.. kinda think UAD are making it up as it goes, or spinning a lucky dip roulette wheel to see who gets what.. Not a bad price for all of those, but the discount/ loyalty offers should be consistent in my opinion. I can imagine regular customers getting annoyed by that.

UAD is seriously weird.. I really have no idea why some discounts apply to some people and not others. With the last round I thought it was possibly for people that had purchased the hardware and I hadn't, so I had nothing. I only own the Polymax which I got for free from being a Loopcloud subscriber, so I would think you would be eligible for at least that price, or better. One thing I did notice, is that this didn't show up in the my offers section. But once I've added it to the cart if I view the cart, I can see there's a code to use. Did you check there specifically?

Such laughable over inflated intro prices with these guys. Really love their stuff, but I hope not a single person falls for those prices!

That's really cool Brian. I always try just in case and use the same order of adding them, but it never lets me.. It looks like it will, but it silently just deletes it from the order as soon as my cart reduces to zero with the coupon. Glad it's working for you

I've tried that many times and while I can select the PB Monthly freebie, as soon as I add the coupon to reduce the LoopCloud freebie to zero, it drops the PB one from the cart. Is there a particular order you're doing them in, or anything different?

Thanks Fleer! I've seen the name plenty of times, but haven't really looked into them much at all. Will have to check them out ?

What would you say are your 3 favourite things they make?

It's apparently 1-1 code port as the Weiss hardware it's based off is digital, so it's exact. It's some of the exact algorithms from the hardware DS1 which was about $10K from memory.

Friends don't let friends buy Waves ? The PA and native SSL ones are really good and both keep providing free updates and you can use on multiple machines. I don't think you're missing out on anything with the Waves ones at all. They're OK, nothing really wrong with the sound quality and not better, just slightly different like how even PA is to native SSL. But the others don't have the same downsides as Waves.

No love from Softube for me.. but I did buy something from them the other day and a lot of these companies like to reward people that don't spend money with them, or leave (ISW), rather than rewarding loyalty.

I had to go through them all before buying as I knew it wasn't including everything, but there were quite a few very similarly named plugins (for someone not familiar with their stuff) so it took a little while to understand what it included, or more so didn't. I would've loved it to include Analog Studio Rack and 80s Spaces. I'm a sucker for reverbs! But it was a whole lot of bang for buck and lifetime free updates including updating to VST3 free when released sounded pretty good to me. There are some I'll likely never use, but there are some pretty decent ones in there that make it worth it.

No, that's one is not unfortunately.
