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!

Any idea what the threshold for getting personal vouchers is? I bought Falcon 3 in November.

I'd like one if there are any left. Thanks!

That's for the current sale where many products are 50% off. $50 voucher still works.

FilterShaper Core is in Shaperbox, not the full version. FilterShaper XL is the new version of the "full" FilterShaper.

I get the print version - nice to flip through real pages!

Love TapeOp! Look forward to each issue!

Got lucky with 66 left. Been able snag most of the freebies over the years. Do wish I used them more but handy on occasion. Does suck that they do not allow reselling libraries. Anyone having issues logging in now? I can't seem to login. Tried a few times over the last few hours and get "Invalid request. Please reload and try again."

With Arturia it's always best to upgrade during the Black Friday sale. It's $99 from any V Collection version to the latest. Occasionally they do release the next version close after the Black Friday sale. VC8 was released in December as well, but other times have been in Spring or Fall. I was hoping X would come out before the BF sale. I own VC9, Pigments and FX3 and it's $199 for me. $199 is a bit steep - I'd probably jump if it was $149. Have to see how the rest of the holiday season sales go to see if I'll bite at $199. But have plenty enough to keep me busy until next BF! ?

Thanks - I'll keep my eye out for deals there for UVI stuff.

Probably will work out well for me. I just got Falcon recently so have a $100 voucher to spend. Looking at Synth Anthology 4 and planning out the rest. Can add another $104 dollar one (Beatbox Anthology maybe?) and pay $80. Or two expansions and pay $12. Or Sunbox and and expansion for $33. Now that I've jumped into the UVI world with Falcon, I'm kicking myself for not jumping on one of those Image Line deals.
