I've been sitting it out this year and suspect that they might not have as many, or any freebies. It really didn't work that smoothly for them and seemed to cause quite a few issues including support calls. Unless they rethink how they can do it to ensure everyone gets one, or at least cover a few timezones, I'm not sure it's worth the trouble. They're always generous and I'm appreciative of that though and hope the sale does well.

Universal Audio LUNA Pro Bundle $88.11 (With Code: FORUM) https://www.jrrshop.com/universal-audio-luna-pro-bundle Note: This is a plugin bundle so should comply with mod rules

I get their point, but I think they may have shot themselves in the foot a little. Especially in the deals section. It was a thriving forum, where people were discussing all different DAWs and sales and that brought up a lot of recommendations for their products, which to an extent would've kept on carrying over to their new paid offerings. Less visitors to this section now due to their policy means lots of missed opportunities and less discussions and awareness about their new products and helping people understand their offerings which aren't the most clear for those less familiar.

As long as I don't open it during a sale, it's often really pretty quick for me. However if they're giving away a freebie, releasing a new collection, Black Friday sales etc. sometimes it's unstable or really slow too! With freebies, I'll often do whatever I need to do to claim it and then I don't even bother trying to install it until the following week, or so. That approach seems to spare some hassles.

The costs of the upgrades for Apple are pretty comical. You could build an entire AMD, or Intel system with just the fat on top that Apple charges to upgrade to 8TB SSD! 🤣 The stock spec for RAM and storage should be much higher for the price of the unit to start with. They're often targetted towards multimedia, so the base spec is very low. I've personally never had a Windows update hose a system. I have had Apple updates render a whole heap of plugins and instruments incompatible though. Unfortunately in cases where the developers are no longer in business, there is no solution. It's either new Apple OS, or keep using your older plugins.

I believe it's 60% off according to this:

I'd have to check what I paid as it was a while ago, but I think the sale price might be 60% off. But... you can take 20% off that price with this: Melda Production (Code MELDA57625915 will get 20% off for new customers) And if you sign up for their newsletter first, that gives you a $10 credit, so you can buy the upgrade for $8 instead of $20!

For some reason I quite like DRC even for some simple pulse/square wave sounds, among others. Its easier to get really warm analogish sounds compared to Pigments. FRMS seems pretty good too, but I haven't used it much yet. I picked them both up with the sound packs on deep discounta while back and have no regrets 🙂

I really quite like both of these. I did the same in the last few days as well. $15 is a bargain for them.

Harder sell at the moment when Arturia has their sale on.. I bought the entire V Collection X for $99. They also don't seem to discount the full bundle much.. it probably costs them a lot of sales, but they stick to their pricing.

This might be helpful for those that don't know what GeoShred Play is.. like I didn't 🤣

Is it in their sticky / rules? I don't recall ever seeing anything banning mentions of other forums? Competing DAWs yes, but not forums!

I'm a bit surprised at Groupon too.. they are somewhat reputable and the majority of the deals are legitimate, but this is pretty bad..

If you use the search history in this forum, you can find some more info. Something similar popped up before and turned out a little too good to be true... A tonne of negative feedback in the days after. I don't recall anyone off here buying it at least, but It was hard not to have a look at it even though it was pretty certain to be a scam 🤣

Try again now Satya 🙂

Try it again now. It just worked for me clicking the link in this post. I already owned it, but the purchase went through again. Maybe Saverio noticed this thread and fixed it 🤣

There wasn't a code in the email, but they migth have auto added it in the cart. Clicking the link for me doesn't show it as free any longer and yet the counter on their site and on the homepage says it's free for another 16 hours, so I'm really not sure what's going on now!

That's really strange. Glad you got it in the end though 🙂

Is there any chance you already owned it and maybe picked it up last time it was free?

It's an issue, just not for you maybe. For anyone that has a desktop as their primary DAW and a laptop as a mobile rig, without active WUP they can't have an activation on both. They need to either transfer licences every single time they use the other device, or resort to a USB dongle. Of course Mac updates also frequently break software and you can't update to the latest version without active WUP either, but most people are aware of that one. Whether it's an issue for you, or not, doesn't change the fact that's it's just trashy corporate greed and they're one of the few plugin companies holding on to such outdated and custom unfriendly licensing models.
