Rational

Their additional summersavings20 coupon has expired already. They just lost a sale.

I was going to buy two plugins for $38 to finish off the remaining two I don't have still. Won't now.

Seems that the sales are over. The end of an era...

Probably a good time for me to stop buying anything anymore. I have more that 5 lifetimes of stuff I haven't even used yet.

I can never seem to get these free games on MS. Every time I login the button dissappears and it just says. "See system requirements". Any idea why?

I get a page not found. Seems to be gone for both now...

Great! Amazing! 

But... 

Interesting...  firmware from?

I've been sitting in these Aeron chairs at work for like 15 or 20 years now.

I love them so much I have them at home now. I won't buy anything else. 

They're so comfortable I forget I'm sitting down. I never notice any discomfort. 

Luckily I get them used for pennies on the dollar from a surplus outlet. Love them.

Best chairs ever for me.

No time limit? You sure?

Anyone know a way to quickly figure out which plugins I don't already own easily? I have like 78 plugins from their everything bundle.

But think there are newer releases still. Sadly their Doin plugin doesn't quickly show 'my plugins' or exclude them to easily tell what's left to buy.

And get a free plugin this month if you upgrade your quad coretex to os 3.0. Choose any one you like they say.

What is this email everyone is talking about?

I recently limited hornet to sending me only updates. Not sales emails as there were too many. But it seems I missed out on an offer?

Also, is there an easy way to tell which ones I'm missing compared to what I own? I think he's released some new ones.

Willing to grab them while on sale if it's easy to figure out.

Not sure if this will help, but...

2nd sense audio has gone, as well as its listing on Plugin Boutique. But, I did find Wiggle listed on Producer Spot - might be worth a shot?

https://www.producerspot.com/product/wiggle/

Also, not sure if it's a typo but Ugritone is (just about) still in existence until the end of the year (or at least that's my understanding).

https://ugritone.com/

If you have any success with either of these, please let us know as it might help others in the same situation.

Thanks for that. Terry at vstbuzz replied. Kindly said he'd work through the list and get back to me. I replied letting him know I already reached out to them all and only have four left that I'm working on. So he's cool.

Audio Imperia has not responded yet. But Audiofier and Loot are awesome! Great support from both of them as was as Terry.

Link not working for me.

This one works though: https://www.waves.com/account/free-one-knob-driver-mastering-com

I'd suggest contacting the developer/s directly (provided they're still around). If you send them proof of purchase, they might add the product/s to your account on their website.

I sent VSTBuzz support an email a few days ago asking if everything (downloads, invoices, purchase history) in my account would be disappearing at the end of August. My understanding of their answer was 'yes', with one exception. As long as any Pulse Downloader codes have been registered in Pulse, they would still be available to download afterwards.

This is sad, but at least we have a heads-up. When T+S closed it happened without forewarning and everything (including downloads in Connect) disappeared.

Thanks for that. Yeah, I haven't heard back yet from VSTBuzz on my email request. So I took your advice and just sent out emails to each company that I could still find. Let's see what happens.

The following products or companies are gone now:

audio-verge.com

wiggle by 2nd sense audio

Klip from Sample Magic

It Might Get Loud is now Urgitone.com

Anyone know if it will be available for $9 on BF again like years past? If so, I'll wait.

I already have up to 2020. Seems they've added about 20 packs since according to thei release guide here:

I used some virtual cash, paid $0.39 and got the freebie as well. 

Same. Also .39 for me as well. Great deal. Now I have an extra license for the Softube compressor. Maybe I can trade it with someone for something I don't have?

Well, it didn't take as long as I thought after all. Knocked it all out in two half days.

Some of the downloads no longer work. Just sent an email asking them if they can help me get working downloads for these:

60% of "Shredders Vol. 1" by Audio Imperia

50% off "Electric Bass Bundle" by Dream Audio Tools

SEQui2R + Exp 2 + Exp 3 [€18.98 extra]

68% off The "SEQui2R" Bundle by Audiofier

75% off "The Sync Bundle" by Audio Modern

60% off "Scenes from The Multiverse" by Audio Imperia

70% off "Stigmatized Drummer" by Stigmatized Productions

65% off "The Everything Bundle" by Audio Verge

70% off "KVLT Drums" Plugin by It Might Get Loud (VST/AU)

60% off ECLIPSE by Wide Blue Sound (VST/AU/AAX)

60% off "Distort 2" by Strezov Sampling

80% off "Wiggle" by 2nd Sense Audio

70% off "Klip" by Sample Magic

So 13 out of 90 products didn't have working links. Also some of the older purchases didn't have downloadable .pdf invoices working any longer for some reason.

Seems I bought more stuff in earlier years as the deals seemed better to me then?

Also, 2nd sense audio is gone. Website is something else now. So I don't think the challenge/response registration will work ever again...

Hahaha. Nice.

Not many of us have had songs written about us.

I did a google search to see if he had other places he posts online. Found one called soundbetter. Seems to be one of those artist promotion sites he's a member of. Asked him if he was going to be online elsewhere. Haven't heard back unfortunately.

Hope he finds an outlet for all that incredible energy to help us all with our GAS. I'd still follow.

Here I was, thinking I was a pro at this.

Yeah. I'm a pro addict. Not at actually using all the stuff I've bought.

Also just noticed I have 1082 reward points with VSTbuzz that I never knew how to use. What a waste....

Ugg, now to begin the process of downloading all this. Love my pulse downloader though. It's SO much better than other solutions I have from other companies. I wished everyone would just go to this.

Also wish there was a way to move all my stuff over even if there was a nominal fee...

I'm probably in their top 1% or .05% of customers. It'd be nice if they would convert my reward points over to migrating me over to pulse for all this stuff.

I'm staring at having to work on this daily for the rest of the month. Kinda sux.

PS. Not showing me 100 deals on the blowout salespage. Like 1/5 that. Wished there was a complete list so I could choose more efficiently.

Update: So I typed all my purchases into a little spreadsheet and it came up with 90 products purchased totaling $2134 dollars spent between April 2016 and now. About what I thought dollar wise.

That only took two hours. But the downloading is going to take a few days at least.

Then they could move the rewards over to pulse.

Then they could move all my old purchases over to pulse and save me tens of hours of work...

Dang. Really? He was the highest poster ever here. Responsible for so many purchases I'm sure than any other. Not a good look to ban someone contributing their entire life to helping others find deals.

Wow. That's crazy.

I'd always thought they were raking in the dough with that little site. Guess not? Or they're fat and happy now and retiring? I'd like to know.

I guess I'll have to download like 150+ purchases over the last 10 years to ensure I have everything... That part sucks.

It may be a bit late for them to claw back some of the lead Toontrack have built up. 

I may be interested in a new BFD version IF, unlike the player, it can use older content as I have a fair bit. 

My  thoughts exactly.

Wow. That's one of the best written updates by an NI program manager I've ever seen. He's on it. Nice to see!

Oh, no.... He's leaving! Hahahahaha. It was his last post. Here we go again maybe? Let's see...

I stopped buying Toontrack after SD3 came out and the price was crazy high and never really came down. Not thanks. Too many other companies with compelling prices on my list ahead of them. I did use SD2 and EZ Drummer a lot though back then. Their deals also seemed to dry up so I haven't even looked at them in years. Stuff works well though.

I've also stopped buying from PA since they were sold and stopped offering good deals on their latest plugins. Not going to pay more than $29 for their Fabfilter EQ clone or anything else for that matter. Until they go back to their old pricing I've stopped being interested.

Glad to see UA and Softube finally understand they need to compete and offer better marketing prices. Took 'em long enough...

Now if PA, Izotope and NI would just get their act together and know that I already own almost everything and offer me some compelling 'everything' bundle upgrade prices I'd be interested again.
