They just don't have an automatic redirect from bestservice.com to www.bestservice.com and bestservice.com doesn't have a certificate. But when you go to www.bestservice.com instead, everything is fine.

I subscribed to the EDMprod newsletter a while ago, just to get some freebies, and yesterday I got a newsletter that I wanted to share because it's a good reminder that we shouldn't fall victim to Gear Acquisition Syndrome. I believe that people like us on deals forums are especially prone to GAS, that's why I post it here. The mail subject was "Stop hoarding, start creating" and I think he put it quite well: I was aware of these things, but it drives the message home differently when I see it written from someone else, somehow.

Ah, I see. Cool. Then maybe the expansions aren't really released yet and will be coming soon. Could it be that they've published the demos before the products themselves?

Where do you see those? Is that a view inside the synth? I don't see those on their website.

There's a new expansion. The first one for Synthmaster 3. It's called "New Loops Cinematic Sounds Volume 1". I have no idea when they added it. I just discovered it because I checked if there are any new expansions, out of curiosity. If you have the Everything Bundle, you already own it and just need to download your expansions from within the synth (I think you click on the current preset name and then a menu appears where you click on "Restore my preset banks", or something like that).

It's not our job to figure out if a coupon code was meant for the public or not. If companies don't want coupon codes to be public, it's in their responsibility to create personalized codes instead. When companies reply in such an adversarial, reproachful way, it makes me not want to use their products at all.

Triad is also on sale at Plugin Boutique. https://www.pluginboutique.com/products/14944 The advantage of buying it there is that you get some virtual cash and the freebie of the month. Currently you get Wave Alchemy Pulse free with any purchase.

Seldom. Here's the price history on Music Software Deals. But that only shows the history from three shops, not even including the official vendor's store. However, I got it for 28€ with a coupon code. They used to give you an 80% off coupon when unsubscribing from their newsletter. They stopped doing that after they became aware that this was posted here on the forum. You might still be lucky to find some coupon codes for Impact Soundworks on the internet though.

I'm a little disappointed that this is not a price glitch.

It appears at checkout. You just have to check the checkbox. Maybe it only shows up for certain accounts. Log in, click in "buy", see if you have it on the "add to cart" page.

I should have known it would come soon. The signs were there. But no, dumb me just recently purchased Total Studio 4 MAX upgrade and T-RackS 6 upgrade. If I had waited a bit, I could have gotten all of that plus PianoVerse for just 12€ more.

Also awkward that they don't even mention it anywhere on the official IK Multimedia website. @Peter - IK Multimedia Please enlighten us

That's exactly what was new in Total Studio 4 vs 3.5. Did they just copy-paste the old text?

The sale has been extended and you can even get 25% off with coupon code "EASTERSORRY25". It's an apology for the site having been down for a few hours, according to the newsletter.

What has changed?

Nice. Even without purchasing the upgrade to V Collection 11, just by updating my V Collection X I got 921 new presets in Analog Lab. 😃

And I'm impressed by how well they created the effects. Those cards aren't pre-rendered. It's all just divs, CSS and JavaScript. I've never seen any website with such an effect.

Awkward. I also have V Collection X and Pigments and my upgrade price is €199.

The new issue of Beat Magazine came out today. Subscribers can already download the German issue at www.plugins-samples.com. This month's freebie is "Things Texture" from AudioThing, a granular reverb with pitch shifting and mid/side mode. And this month's Zampler expansion is called "Oasis of Percussion" with 106 oriental drums & soundscapes.

Funny bug at the moment on their website. When I go to https://www.arturia.com/store/v-collection-pro (the link from the upgrade button) I get an endless redirect https://www.arturia.com/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/store/de/v-collection-pro 🫠

The product page isn't there yet but they already show the upgrade prices. My upgrade price is €199. They call it "V Collection 11 Pro". I wonder why they added the "Pro". Will they have different tiers, like V Collection 11 Lite, Standard and Pro?

Cool. I'll wait 10 years then and upgrade to V Collection 21 and get 60 new synths for $99. I'm so looking forward to it 😃

I bet they will. After all, they've already made a start with the software versions of MiniBrute and MiniFreak.

Depends if you count Prophet V3.
