I own quite a few united plugin releases and love the licencing model that treats the customer like an actual customer.  That said, outside of intro pricing the rates are quite a bit above the competition.  About the only time I've got anything outside of intro pricing or a (get with purchase) was one of the bundles where because of what I already had got an amazing discount.  

Demos of this one are not my style nor does it really sell the plugin if it was.

Crispy Tuner at PA is another option, runs on sale for $25 from time to time.  

I'd agree with that Brian. The "RRP" of them is crazy and I would never pay full price personally. That is the same with a lot of developers, even with PA like you mentioned. There's no way in hell I'd pay full price for them, but their sales prices make them OK.

United Plugins have regular 50% off if anyone was in a mad rush, but intros and bundles (or freebies) are pretty irresistible.

+1 on FrontDAW 

Hyperspace is another favorite. Amazing outside the box thinking and a great sounding an dsuper versatile reverb!

I still need to really give Royal Compressor a proper spin. 

FrontDAW was my first plugin from them and I really had low expectations as I didn't know anything about United Plugins. It sounded a little buzz wordy too, but I eventually got around to trying it and dropped it on a track as a mic pre for accoustic guitar and was quite blown away by it.

I got Hyperspace in the recent bundle and I really need to start using that. I ended up with quite a few new reverbs all at once so apart from installing and opening briefly a few times, I havent used it much yet at all.

That reminds me, some of their Fire series plugins surprised me too.. I need to try them more too ?

Don't sleep on Royal Compressor. It's a good compressor and very easy to control the amount of colour.

Do you have the Vintage Voice Bundle for Voltage Modular? https://store.cherryaudio.com/bundles/vintage-voice-bundle

It includes the  SynthVoice, as well as the DCO-60 (Juno-106) modules.

"SynthVoice is a complete semi-modular vintage synthesizer, featuring two oscillators, a multi-mode filter, an LFO, dual envelope generators, sample and hold, and spring reverb. It's like having a classic ARP 2600 synthesizer in your modular rack. SynthVoice Filter puts the brute power of SynthVoice's multi-mode filter into a separate module."

I don't, but that actually looks very cool. I picked up the Softube Model 84 which I really like, so I'm covered with the Juno sounds, but it would be good having these as modules. Same with Synthvoice now I know them from the Arp 2600. I looked the other day and it was a little hard to work out what was what in the bundles from Cherry Audio!

I think I've mostly got my head around it now... sort of ?

I was also looking at Miniverse Module Collection and MS Vintage Bundle which both look tempting.

Don't get me wrong, I think XO is a great program with a lot of potential.  But imagine what Omnisphere would be today without all these brilliant programmers making patches for it.  They continue to make it shiny and new by showing what is possible.  I think that companies like Audiomodern and the Cube people understand this very well by putting out their own free packs. 

I think I'm leaning more towards Atlas 2, but XO looks pretty nice as well. Atlas seems like there's likely to be more regular updates and new features which is something I'm taking into consideration too. I'm giving Atlas a demo (only a basic one so far, it's still scanning all the samples!) but I might also still demo XO.

RC-20 from XLN is one of my favourites in that space and I don't mind some of their pianos.

Imagine working months to create a fun vocal tuner, only to have Waves beat you to it by a couple of weeks. But to be honest, I'm personally not really impressed by the demo video. If you don't have something which can do this, €19 seems like a reasonable price. The competition (Waves, Antares, Eventide) seem to have more functionality at a slightly higher price.

Some of their pricing is pretty hard to beat and quite a few of the plugins I have from United Plugins are REALLY good. Royal Compressor is a weapon on the drum buss, or anywhere that you want to add some flavour and I love. FrontDAW gets a lot of use and is so simple as a pre to dial in some mojo.

I'll probably skip this particular one as I have Eventide, SoundToys, Melodyne and now VariAudio built into Cubase Pro 12, along with basic Antares. So for tuning and vocal effects I'm well covered.

Agreed on the video, I thought the same thing. Although with so many companies, I wouldn't even consider buying them after watching some of the videos, only to try them out for myself and find that they just make crap demos! (same goes with presets for instruments)

I've always been partial to this synth.
Check out the demo - links about 1/2 down on https://www.gforcesoftware.com/products/imposcar2/

I suspect I would be as well.. that's why I hadn't tried a couple of these as they're not compatible with a number of OS / DAWs.. 

They haven't been updated in ages, so no VST3 and limited MacOS (which for me doesn't matter) 

If they were spending the time on updating them then I'd be keen give them a shot.

I have this one (also for 15 I believe) as well as the hardware (Behringer 2600). I use this one when I dont'want to start everything up, but also as  a preset list for the hardware ?

That's just greedy ?

I haven't tested out the Behringer gear, but apparently some of their clones aren't half bad from what I've heard and I have considered picking up one or two. They get a bad rap sometimes, but I like that they started reproducing clones of stuff that the original manufacturers wouldn't.

These are fine things. Cherry Audio is on a roll. 

The Cherry Audio stuff is very decent for the price. I love the Voltage Modular, so I haven't bought many of their standalone synths, but I did pick this one up and will likely grab a few of the others too. Sometimes I even just enjoy using them to see how what it was like to program some of these famous old synths ?

I use a free software called InstallForge and sometimes VirusTotal detects the exe files as malware.

I tried InnoSetup with the same results.

My plugins are made with SynthEdit and contain several files in the same folder in addition to the dll or vst3 so I use a setup to make the installation process easier.

The site being down all makes sense and these plugins are free so him using free hosting is understandable too.

The installers one is a little unusual, as it's not so common to see the detections. I'd provide both if I was him. I never mind and often prefer to just copy/paste the VST3 directly onto the VST3 folder as I know exactly what I'm adding to my system. It really doesn't need to be much easier as it's often only a few seconds to do it unless there's a lot of changes the installer makes, like registry keys, or .in files, or unusual things.

Thanks for sharing his reply ?

Thanks.  Picked up EQ510 for free using the code.

Did you get a CD Key? It says to contact them, so it's unable to be activated for me.

It is weird. The link I posted  and the plugin page still work but the rest of the site which was working when I posted is down.

 They posted a link to WordPress at BP with no explanation. They seems OK to me. No complaints and over 1M views on YouTube and they are still posting new plugs.

I'm guessing they code in C++ so they need to use an installer to check for the required redistribable package.

I sent them an Email asking for a response.

That's entirely possible about the dependency check. Great idea emailing and it will be good to hear back ? Maybe they could look at other packaging applications too, given they know their products are getting flagged as malicious.

It's one of those cases where I'm sure it's probably completely fine, but given the amount of plugins most of us have, is it worth taking any risks on something that does have warnings.

VirusTotal reports their plugins as malware. They do state on their website (or at least did!) that it's due to the application they use to package their installer.

That's quite possibly true and nothing to worry about, but I'd rather them just make the actual .VST3 files etc available as an option too.

The suspended website doesn't add to the confidence levels either..

It is a shame as I'd like to try a couple of their things.

I was just playing with the 360 amp plugin last night.

I really enjoy the clean sounds that the Vermillion amp A has. I also demo'd the Matchlock amp too and really enjoyed the clean on it.

Was extremely impressed with the two chorus units I tried. The Ensemble and the Dimension, both of these are excellent sounding and very tweakable. They knocked those out the park, seriously. 

After playing with them for a couple of hours last night I was wondering today if they have a sale... and look what happens! Thanks MM. : )

That's so great hearing that! Glad it helped and have fun with them ?

Would love to know how does this compares to Valhalla Supermassive or maybe VintageVerb...? 
Considering to get Blackhole and SP2016 together since they are on sale or just buying VintageVerb as the all-purpose reverb....

Decisions, decisions, decisions...

btw, you can get it cheaper at JRR shop with code GROUP ($24.36)

I love SP2016 for an amazing and natural sounding reverb. It took a couple of sessions to really get it's sound, quite possibly because I'd been testing out their Blackhole reverb a lot at the time which can be crazy lush and over the top, but I reach for SP2016 a lot now. Even more than Vintage Verb lately, but they are quite different and hard to compare, so they both have a place.

All 3 are great reverbs and so different that I wouldn't want to be without any of them now ?

Oh well. We didn't like plugins being Forever $29 so I guess I shouldn't complain about the overinflated retail price haha. Bargain! 

In fairness, this is definitely worth the $29 and that's all that matters really. I did pay less for it, but can definitely recommend it for $29 ?

How long is the sale for? 

Not exactly sure, but best to get in quick if you want the extra discount beyond 50% off.

Sometimes they remove the codes for them (I think if they get a certain number of sales, or exposure, or something. Not too sure though, but I've taken too long before and just missed the extra savings)

Kuassa: 50% Guitar Sim etc at JRRShop (Further discounts in cart and with code)

Use code: GROUP for additional discounts on top of the stated 50%.
