I could've just managed to get this from a reseller, but was really on the fence with it, even at that price. It definitely has some useful tools, but for the most part I have on par, or generally better alternatives, apart from RX maybe. But I was much more excited with an upgrade to Eventide Anthology and Arturia FX 3 Collection which were in around that price combined. They also aren't trying to force the subscription model as much, which I prefer too. Both of those bundles have been REALLY good so far too!

That's quite a huge difference Brian! I wouldn't have expected the full version to be so much of a resource hit as opposed to the Core edition. Thanks for the heads up and I'll be sure to demo before buying that one. It does make this Core a bit more appealing on that front ?

I got two update emails from them. I purchased the "Ultimate Bundle" a while ago and that appears to be what triggered it free, but I'm not entirely sure if owning one of them alone will. The two emails say: Dominator now redesigned from the ground up, upgrade to Classic Series Amp Suite free, enter your email address here Emperor now redesigned from the ground up, upgrade to Classic Series Amp Suite free, enter your email address here I checked the updates for the Ultimate Bundle and even found out they had added ThePunch to it as well, so it's been the gift that keeps on giving!

I found this nice surprise in my emails earlier and they gave me this free, so you might want to check your emails and look out for anything that mentions an updated version from them ?

If you need any pointers, I'm sure there are some good examples of how to complain about freebies through the posts in this and some of the other forums ?

Depends on the gate and how it's used. Unfiltered Audio's G8 via Plugin Alliance for example can be a pretty creative tool and effect and there are some others that can be used a little less like a traditional gate too. I've been meaning to start learning and trying out some more of those techniques in particular. As far as regular gates go, I suspect this will be a good one, but I'm also not too excited about it either ?

That's right and why I chose that specific example ? Higher values wouldn't be offset by the discount as it automatically applies to the lower value items and anything with a lower price already doesn't need a voucher. Sweet spot is $30.99.

You don't need to convince me Lars.. it's only some of the Plugin Alliance Kool-Aid drinkers that think the new deals are better and subscriptions are the golden elixir and cure every problem known to mankind.. they just believe and repeat any marketing that's pumped out to them ? For me, the old vouchers and deals were better for sure and I'd happily have them back! Granted you can get some of the latest releases sooner, but if you waited a little while, even those could often be had for $14.99 with some voucher stacking or combo deals. I miss the old PA.. Edit: But if they were to drop a $20 no minimum spend on their current sale prices, then I take it all back and they're even better! ?

Broken how Tony? And there's a bottomless pit of things to spend money in audio, so missing a few isn't always a bad thing! ?

Add the packs to the synths is definitely an odd process.. I'm really not sure why it's not incorporated into the sync licenses button and made more prominent. I've actually had to resort to Googling / reading the manual a few times even though I'd done it in the past!

We get so many emails these days it's easy to miss them, or read them after the offer expires unfortunately. This forum can be a lifesaver with some of those, so happy to return the favour for all the ones I would've missed as well ?

Glad it helped! ?

Didn't take them long to start the next round! I wouldn't be surprised if there is either, but it would be nice ?

I don't suppose anyone happens to have a spare free license of M1 LE do they. If you do and could PM me I'd really appreciate it and happy to gift/trade something in return of course ?

Personally I'd go the V76U73, but I've really been enjoying some of those pres and comps from Telefunken and other manufacturers through those times. Both good choices though and can be quite subtle across a number of tracks or busses, or pushed further if wanting to as well.

Now if only they dropped a $20 no minimum spend voucher, people would go completely nuts! ?

Haha... I wasn't sure if you were referring to my post or not, as you added a reaction and then posted, so I did think it could go either way.. but I was just having a laugh and being cheeky anyway! ? It's funny you mention VST. I actually like that! It also captures the essence of what it originally was quite well "Virtual Studio Technology". But I'm also mindful that it's been around so long, that it's very familiar and that could bias my thoughts on it a little. To include something about it being an open standard, or cross platform to me would be better than "Clever Little Audio Plugin". Even CLP is a slight improvement, but I still don't really like that. Pavlov's comments are on point though. Branding can play a big part and a great name for it should resonate with the most amount of people possible. It's going to be a hard sell for Steinberg and Avid in particular as it is. Let alone their marketing departments are probably going to cringe when they tell them they want to give their DAWs the CLAP! ? VST is short and catchy and lends itself well to versions. CLAP3 if it gets there just sounds a little odd in my opinion! But then again, maybe their only intent was to give it a CRAP name to get people talking and raise awareness ?

I think you might be projecting there ? Haha.. I never said I related the name to an STD, I just don't think it sounds good. I would like to think they could come up with something better, more catchy and recognisable to what it's about. The fact that it translates to Gonorrhea is just another sign it didn't hit the mark as well as it could've!
