    I actually got it at Best Service last December for $79.64. They had some sort of promo code for $19.02 and I used $.34 in Best Coin. 

    Even better! Those guys sometimes have some real outliers with pricing and you can snag a bargain from them. Often shortlived as well, but there's been a couple of pricing errors from Best.

    I'm waiting for them to have Phaseplant on a steep discount again too ?

    SSL LMC+ $19.99 @ Plugin Boutique

    I think anyone with KOMPLETE has an SSL already?

    This isn't a standard SSL compressor like that it's based off using/abusing the listen mic off the old consoles and using that as a compressor. It's most frequently used for drums, generally smashing them in parallel and blending that in.

    As for NI, for my tastes, it's one of the SSL compressors that doesn't grab me at all soundwise compared to SSL themselves, or a number of the other emulations out there.

    Probably not bad if people already have it, but I think the others are better personally.

    SSL LMC+ $19.99 @ Plugin Boutique

    SSL LMC+ $19.99 @ Plugin Boutique

    https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/8-Compressor/8677-SSL-LMC-

    The SSL LMC+ replicates the sound of an SSL 4000E console's reverse talkback function, a.k.a. the Listen Mic, which included an integrated compressor to safeguard against overloads and make quiet speech intelligible. It was the Listen Mic Compressor, combined with the SSL 4000E's built-in noise gate, that was the genesis to the gated-reverb drum sound that dominated the '80s.

    The LMC+ plug-in eclipses the original hardware, providing you with advanced functionality that wasn't present in the original console, such as external sidechain capabilities, highpass filters and lowpass filters, and Scoop and Split functions. And thanks to its intuitive controls, the LMC+ is a breeze to use. If you want to smash everything back to the 1980s, the LMC+ is the plug-in to do it with.

    The LMC+ plug-in takes the vaunted SSL Listen Mic Compressor from the center section of an SSL 4000E console and enhances it with modern features derived from SSL's LMC+ 500 Series module. An external sidechain enables you to trigger gain reduction with an external source or signal, while variable highpass and lowpass filters allow you to tailor which frequencies trigger the compression. You also get Scoop and Split functions. Scoop phase-inverts your wet signal, while Split engages a bandpass-subtraction mode.

    There is also a Mix control, which makes parallel processing a piece of cake. If you enjoy slamming audio into oblivion, you'll find a zillion uses for the LMC+.

    I think the concurrent 70% off everything (or most everything) sale must have ended last night or this morning, based on various posts I've seen. So the code reduces the prices of the two listed VSTs by 70%, but there's no glitchy discount goodness on top of that. Evidently, we have to be quicker!

    Haha.. yeah sometimes with these ones it you don't see it in time, or you think too long, or even try a demo, you miss out! I know I've missed some killer prices that way ?

    It all added to the cart perfectly at the time, but I already own that EQ and the plugins I want from Hornet at the moment.

    It's actually quite a cool EQ for the money. I have ProQ3, but I do like being able to add variable amounts of analogue style saturation on each band independently. Even at the regular 70% off price its good value.

    Yeah, me too. Never got to getting it though. Waiting for that $49-er. 

    I pulled the trigger at $94 in a previous sale ages ago at Plugin Boutique. On that occasion they corrected the price after I bought it. Really the few extra dollars off just gave me an excuse to buy it, but I'm glad I did! You can make similar sounds with all different synths, but there is something I really like about the filters and effects with Spire. It does really have it's own sound in a way.

    Just tried and didn't work.

    That helped confirmed what I was seeing and now I have the email for them which does too. I suspected it might be free for Anthology owners, so I downloaded it and it seemed to activate for me. Even though the site shows an upgrade / crossgrade for me!

    The email much later says:

    FREE for Anthology XII owners!

    Seems like quite a inconsistent release really, as it was announced and showing up in some places, but not others.

    Nice freebie though ?

    Needless to say, I haven't bought a PA plugin in months, whereas it used to be like 2-3 a month on average. I imagine the same is true for quite a lot of people.

    Yeah times have definitely changed. I hardly pay attention to their sales any more. I do wonder if they'll keep it up, or eventually start having proper sales like they used to which will make people flock back and buy heaps again.

    But the alternative is they just keep crap sales and try (unsuccessfully at least in my case) to get everyone on subs.

    I was there for the good days though and have most of what I wanted so I'll just be buying from some of the other great Devs I haven't bought much from yet.

    They make you register at another site https://getmylicense.ca/bundle/register/  who then sends you an email with another link that you then use the serial number Best gives you.  Which then gives you the actual serial numbers (9 of them) for use at iZotope/etc.  Here are the instructions:

    That really is quite an unusual process! I guess it's not really too bad though, it's just not common, or what I would expect. Thanks for sharing the info.

    Cherry Audio: Quadra @ JRR Shop ($20.16 instead of $59)

    An interesting one this. The Quadra was an early attempt at  "workstation" with bass, string, polyanthus and lead in the same package, split across the keyboard as required. Cherry's is a lot of fun and sounds gorgeous. Worth $20 for sure.

    I think you nailed it there Vernon, that's what I get from them too. They are fun to play and you can definitely get some great sounds out of them as a bonus.

    This one is a very unusual synth and not really like anything else I've got from them, or from anyone else really!

    I've just been watching a walkthrough of it.

    Good on vocals too, especially in combination with an LA-2A type compressor.

    I think it might have been you that shared that tip before. I gave it a shot and the combo worked quite well. I need to remember to try that on some more tracks in future ?

    Absynth is Over?

    Absynth definitely needed a UI overhaul.. for some reason I feel like I want to start using it now ?

    They should either hand it over to him to continue development, or open source it. Given it probably has some proprietary code they re-used elsewhere I'm guessing handing over is the only choice other than them changing their mind..
