It would be great to see updates available in there too. That's one of the biggest benefits of an all product installer by developers imo.

Slate just wants to force everyone to subscription and they got on that train early.. they only make the physical dongle mandatory for perpetual licences. There's no valid reason for it apart from trying to discourage people buying instead of subscribing. I had wondered if that stupid mentality would die now that Steven is no longer running things. Was glad to see him go! Even with UAD ditching the hardware requirement, even if Slate was to ditch the physical iLok dongle they've lost so many potential sales now.

I've used PSP InfinitiStrip quite a bit since it was on that deep sale and I'm so glad I picked it up. It's become one of my preferred FET compressors, the VCA compressor in it I really like, some of the EQs are fantastic and great saturation modules in there. I'd love them to do an EffectsRack to includes some of their delays and reverbs, etc, or add them to the strip as well. IK is more feature rich so gets the edge there by having them, but I still reach for InfinitiStrip more.

That could be it. You may have just missed out timing wise. If they come up again, someone will likely post about the offer on here which can be handy as it's very easy to miss, or switch off to emails from all these devs.

Haha.. yeah every year they normally give everyone with an account a free pick If you haven't already, then maybe even just register for the free player, or the inexpensive player and you will probably start getting them.

I saw that one and that's actually a really good offer from them. I've been slowly collecting them for free each year and don't have much need anyway, but otherwise that's not bad value at all. Might even warrant it's own post so people don't miss it.

I'd agree with that. I think they likely intended to give it away for free but decided to charge in-between so it seems like better value. The downside is that some resellers like PiB have used it as their only monthly freebie which is pretty lame..

I've got a few of these free now too ? All of the current free with purchase offers from JRRShop I have at least one copy..

I think I bought most of mine (or got them free) from resellers, so by default my existing plugins predominantly all only count for 50% instead of full. Can't complain though, they were either excellent value, or free and at least reduce it slightly ?

Bugger... Yeah I never selected any payment details anywhere, as the order was just the freebie ones so it didn't force me to. Fingers crossed you enjoy it at least ?

I thought the exact same thing when I looked at it too! But yes, it is and worked perfectly. It also means all updates will show up and be delivered in there for it too once you register it in Pulse.

You can just add the code into Pulse and download it via that.

I think it might be, but it also might just be registering it to that serial and not linked initially. I've seen both with plugins, so it could be either. Unless there's a good reason not to, then I'd keep them the same just to be safe.

Download and install Pulse and register that if you haven't already in the past. Then in Pulse, you can add products, so do that by using the code. You can then download/install it with Pulse, then open your DAW, scan for new plugins if it's not automatic, then create an audio track (or on guitar VSTi) effect slot add it. The first time you open it, it will prompt for that same code and your email address. It has nothing to do with Native Access at all ?

You can enter multiple codes, you just clear the box and enter the second one ?

Rookie mistake not using that second coupon ?

I think they're targeting a niche market which is fine, but unless someone is gigging and touring, a lot of customers are just using it for convenience and novelty. The PA locked version was good to use, although I could easily replicate anything in Cubase anyway. There's 0% chance I would pay for their full version and I would bet they will lose a lot of customers. To put the pricing in perspective, that buys Reaper a full and feature rich DAW that is also stable and you can have it lean for gigs too: $60 : discounted license. (Personal OR You are an individual or business using REAPER commercially, and yearly gross revenue does not exceed USD $20,000) $225 : commercial license. But with more customers comes more support, so maybe they've done the sums, or just don't want as many customers to deal with, so it still could be the right choice for them individually.. not for me though.. I'll never touch them again ? Dear Reality on the other hand handled things perfectly in this situation. I wish they had more I wanted and I'd be happy to buy from them again ?

I'm a little the same.. there's not much exciting in there that I don't have.. lots of "good" products and I may use them if I bought Volume just because I have them, but for most of them I probably already have better. The main things from Softube that I have thought about are the Weiss stuff (Compressor/Limiter or DS1-MK3), Chandler and Empirical Labs. Maybe Tube-Tech but probably not. If I hadn't already bought a bunch of good plugins and instruments, then the bundle would still be a good option. That's one of the great things about being on this forum and scoring so many bargains on great software, it's so easy to pass up average deals and weak loyalty offers from companies like Softube.

That definitely is an option, but essentially somebody who has never bought anything from them can just buy one of their most expensive plugins and upgrade for cheaper than someone who has spent a bucketload of cash with them. They just don't get customer loyalty. Selling plugins is often effort and little returns on them, even though as you mentioned Softube does retain their value a little better. The customer that's never bought from them would still be way in front.

Maybe the update to their site is just working it's way through accounts. If that's not the case, then Softube has taken an even worse turn for customer loyalty, but I think you should be OK ?

Yeah their upgrade mentality sucks.. you could have every single plugin from the bundle and your upgrade price would still only be the price minus the most expensive plugin. I had been waiting to see this one and it's an easy pass. There's not enough unique stuff in there that couldn't be cherry picked in a sale for the most part. I now see why they retired some of their products right before releasing it as well..

Dear Reality handled it perfectly. My license was just transferred across by raising a request to them. It seems they treat you as a regular customer. The concept of charging someone more because they legitimately bought a product at a discount through their official reseller is a bit anti customer in my book. I had thought I might upgrade to the unlocked version out of convenience, but don't think I'd bother with this company now.

That's a very unusual cross grade policy based off the price you paid... That's almost a bit IKM.. you really either own the product, or you don't, but I get their thinking..
