Like always with UA, just ignore them.. the sit and wait game is the key to UA and if they don't recognise already owned, I'm sure you already have plenty of plugins and if not, just buy someone else's ? Lots of good sales over Black Friday, so I'm happy to skip them this round. I just see UA getting cheaper for anyone that holds out.

You can always just download the demos from UA without the sub. I've trialed almost all of the ones I've bought from them first.

It happens! I'll add Capital to my post as well and that's strange about the video. I could see it showing a preview in your post, so it looked like it was fine when you posted. I did see they were doing a soft launch, so maybe it was causing a bit of a stampede!

Yes, that was in my original post and what jumped out the most.. I almost had to look twice!

UA Empirical Labs EL8 Distressor Compressor and Manley Massive Passive EQ now Native? The links go to a 404 page for me, but can add to the cart. I haven't seen the announcement yet, but they show under Native and say Apollo / Native too.

I'm not sure I'd say they're getting desperate. They've offered a freebie every month like they do with Plugin Boutique for ages. It's just another sales tactic that's all.

The freebie is for all subscribers, new and existing, the $2 plan I believe is what they were referring to as only being for new subscribers.

Try a different browser. It did the same to me in one, so I switched to another and it confirmed I'd registered afterwards in the second one.

This is one of the Hornet ones that I don't really rate. I think maybe I need to spend more time with it, but it doesn't grab me like some of his others.

These will all be VST2 only and they almost never see any updates. I'd avoid. Good price though.

Does Mellow 2 still not have a VST3 version? It doesn't seem to say it does, but sometimes the specs aren't completely reliable.

I was mostly certain it would be that plugin and hadn't planned on signing up for that reason!

Welcome back Lars! Hope it was a great holiday and you're all nice and refreshed for all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales...?

That could play a part, but also even when I own all the products in the bundle they still want money! I've also bought a mix of direct and reseller and across the various bundles the prices never make sense.

Sonible use a bunch of AI, but I can certainly say they do not use it for bundle prices... They make no sense at all every time I've looked!

Yep, I'm exactly the same. No need to buy, no need to pay a subscription, perpetual licences only and now it doesn't matter really what they do with the vouchers, I'm all set with PA.

New Nation are known for shutting down their website and everyone losing access to everything they owned and paid for, only for them to open a new website and keep selling the same things.

I jumped the gun and bought it the other day and already thought the same thing! Great price for that. I still don't even mind paying $19.99 for it though.

Nice save!! ?

Haha... you changed it ?

This has already been posted by that Satya character... ?

Haha.. I still get enough frustrations out of some of my plugins so I'm not completely left out there ? I personally don't agree with Steinberg's choice either, but I guess they had to draw a line in the sand somewhere and people just weren't moving fast enough. If they supported it for another 10 years I'd guarantee some of the same developers that haven't already upgraded to VST3 even by now, would still want an extension.. To put that in perspective... VST3 was released in 2008... so developers can hardly say it's snuck up on them! Ableton Live was surprising.. they only started supporting it around 2019 from memory.. All that said, there are some VST2 plugins and instruments that I will definitely miss... yes, I do know I can load them in wrappers and hosts, but I do prefer native
