The two for $76 deal winds up being basically the same price.

Still on the fence... love PSP and so many good reviews... but really don't "need" another reverb! (Of course most of us don't "need" any more plugins of any type!)

Well with the $10 coupon it makes a $39.99 plugin just over $32. Not the PA heyday we all loved, but not horrible. I don't get the $25 vouchers anymore so I guess $15 plugins are a thing of the past. ? Not that I need any more plugins...

I think there's a typo in the email APD sent out. I don't see anything about anything called SPAN or BassX on the APD site or at NoiseAsh. Just the two EQ plugins.

Snagged it. Who knows if I'll actually install it or use it, but looks cool. I've heard good things about Safari but haven't bought or tried anything.

Yup. I'm beyond a lot of the content at this point, but do like to join the free sessions just to see different mixing and mastering processes and do pick up some tips here and there.

Didn't see the link - is it to Send Owl? I'm guessing it's the freebie from the mastering.com course from last week.

Was a 24 hour deal. Server was too busy anyway. Wish I liked the Hornet plugins, since I have a decent collection now. But don't jive with them so they're not installed. ?

And they still have the Pick 2, 3 or 4 deal going on which seems to be a better deal for most of the plugins. https://www.plugin-alliance.com/deals.html

Yup, AstroLab Connect is the mobile app and AstroLab is the line of stand-alone keyboards. At least that's what seems to be most apparent. I'm hoping from more since I'm not really interested in this.

I watched a few videos for this and didn't hear anything really interesting. Definitely not enough to get me to register for it.

Yup, I bought it back then and then he scrapped it without notice. I complained and he gave me a lot of the Kontakt instruments as reimbursement - which I have yet to use. ? Hopefully it'll be a good product. Looks like Mac version isn't slated until last half of the year. I'm a bit leary but would love to hear if anyone bites and can comment!

Wait until the Black Friday sale if you want to upgrade your V Collection. Should be $99 for any version as they do every year.

Yeah, I have most of the T-RackS plugins including Comprexxor. Also have Arturia FX Collection, some PA, etc... Also have UAD Spark right now too, but not sure I want to stay on the sub. So I guess my question would be given that the Arturia compressors, bx_opto, etc, cover a lot of this ground, the Softube ones wouldn't give me anything over what I have. Probably best to save $53.

I got that at first too and still don't have the purple upgrade price, but just added it to my cart and it worked - $53 for the other two. Anybody use the Opto or FET? I really don't need these I'm sure! Haven't even tried the VCA freebie so why am I even looking! ?

I found these latest freebie packs to be fun and inspirational as well!

HG-2/HG-2MS and VSM-3 are go-tos for me.

Hoping it'll stack with the inevitable Spring/St. Patrick's day sale!

I do still get the $25 vouchers. Haven't used them in a while though. Don't think I spent more that $30 on PA in the last year so not sure how the calculate who gets them.

Looks like the Jam Points under $99 was a bug and they "fixed" it. Hate that new policy.

Oh, nice. Looks like IK changed the Jam Points policy back! For a while you couldn't use them on items less than $99. Only thing I may want though is the JC Vocal Strip - not sure it's worth $21 for me. Have everything else except two of the TASCAM tapes. ?

I did get a $25 voucher. Problem is the new minimum spend of $40. $39.99 on sale just is frustrating. Price it at $40 then PA can take my $15 - now they get $0. Glory days of a $29.99 plugin for $4.99 with a no minimum voucher are gone. Keeps me from spending $$$ on more plugins I won't use at least! I only spent $25 at PA in 2023. Not sure how the vouchers are figured out anymore, but even the $25 don't seem to be generic.

It's on sale on their site not PB.

Yes, this is Xtressor Nuke with a few additional features. They got in trouble with Empirical Labs for copying the look of the Distressor. The full Xtressor at PA will be updated soon too as XTComp.

Ah, thanks! That makes sense!
