Here's a direct comparison against the competition...

Double check as they don't install under those names. Mod Pack consists of 3 different modules: Choral Phasis Flair more info at https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/effects/effects-series-mod-pack/ Crush Pack consists of: Bite Dirt Freak more info at https://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/effects/effects-series-crush-pack/

Definitely passing. Not paying for a 'lite' version of what I already have.

IMHO they should have just updated the Smart series instead of spinning of new versions. I don't need another set of plugins that do a variation (real or imagined) of what they previously released. Of course YMMV but I think my days of purchasing Sonible plugins is over.

Introducing the 3rd level of Sonible's plugins! Sonbile: Smart, True & now Pure! Smart - only bothers to work if your song is a hit or else why bother? True - loyal as a Labrador retriever, will always work for you; even if you use other plugins. Pure - their most bi-polar plugin yet! Will either make your track the most angelic possible or the nastiest most evil soul ripping audio you've experienced. If this is not what you're looking check out the True series or wait for next month's MEH series - does a passible, non-judgmental job. Future offerings: MEH - see previous description under Pure. Transparent - so sonically pure you'll never be able to determine is it's actually being used. The only thing not transparent is the money you'll pay for this.

Thanks @Greg Schlaepfer, great video! Very helpful.

If this deal is so important to you maybe you should take @Fleer's advise and contact UAD tech support. He's mentioned more than once it worked for him.

I didn't get an email but after adding UAD Creative Edition to my shopping cart - when I went to my shopping cart on the right side of the web page was the discount code reducing price to $99... and it worked.

They do, but not by much... I think I saved a whopping $5 (compared to the regular price) when upgrading to the full set from the pieces I had last BF. Getting a free upgrade to FilterShaper XL was a nice surprise.

LABORDAY2023 coupon expires in about 5 1/2 hours... PST - Pacific Standard Time from UAD web site: and AudioDeluxe still has it on sale for $39 for another 4+ hours https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/software/universal-audio-1176-classic-limiter-collection

Up to 75% off storewide. Last day of sale. Heavyocity Fury is on sale for $79 during this sale. Price not discounted at 3rd party resellers.

Sometimes it takes longer on weekends... and you checked your user area? I don't recall PSP* emailing me the iLok codes on any purchase (but I could be mistaken). *when I've purchased PSP plugins via a 3rd party I get the codes but with PSP I get an email to check my account.

Out of curiosity - where/how are you locating these?

I'd check out the store first and then if you don't see a price you like open a support ticket.

Only need to be online for the activation. Though at some point the program will need to be reactivated (I forget what the time period is) and then you'll need to be online to re-activate.

Installed it. I'm only seeing one issue and it's with Exporting Audio not retaining the Bit Depth settings between Cakewalk sessions. Open file menu and select Export / Audio Select File Type as Wave (if not already selected) Select Sample Rate as 44100 (have not checked if issue happens with other Sample Rates Change BIT DEPTH from 32 Bit to 16 Export Close Cakewalk When you reopen Cakewalk and go to export audio the Bit Depth is once again 32 bit.

You're right - I was wondering how the new price on Zero-G ETHERA Gold Atlantis 2 was now $5 cheaper ($50.37 with discount). Now if only I could get someone else to foot the bill. ?

That code isn't working for me but ETHERALOYALTY is... "If you have purchased an Ethera product from Zero-G, use discount code ETHERALOYALTY in the checkout and a 20% discount will automatically be applied."

I've been hoping Total Studio Max might drop in price before most of my Jam Points expired this month. I picked up on the upgrade ($139.99) with PayPal credit - 4 payments of $35 over the next 6 months.

I think we've been there for a while... <RANT ON> FOMO is probably the biggest culprit (damn his hide). You can lead a man to plugins and if they're on sale he'll buy them whether he needs them or not. I'm guilty, I admit it (of buying, not selling). I don't want to count the number of amp sims that I've purchased (yeah some were $5 maybe less, but some unfortunately cost me quite a bit more) that are pure garbage. My guitar would sound better plugged into my cat than some of these. </RANT OFF>
