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

Yeah, me too, but if you look on the product page, the Mod Pack and Crush Pack are supposed to be included ?

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

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.

This is like the 5th time in this thread someone is explaining this. We're on a deals forum. Everybody here knows how discounts and codes work. It's just not activated for every account for completely incomprehensible reasons.

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.

Cableguys Shaperbox / Bundle products don't ever go on sale... lol.

Just waiting on UVI Shade to go on sale.... Unless Cableguys surprises us!  Let the best one win!

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.

Ordered but never got an ilok code. That typical for PSP? Do they only manually fulfill those on weekdays?

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.

Has anyone got problems after purchasing the strip using one of the codes? ILok serial doesn't show up for me. 

iLok# is listed in your user area with the download

My understanding is that that a MAXgrade applies to anyone who has any MAX product (no matter the version).  You can open a support ticket.

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

For the moment -- which in this case means "through Monday" -- the ETHERALOYALTY code actually should knock off 30% rather than 20%, according to Zero-G (via VIC):

 

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.  ?

Get an additional 20% off with code SUMMERBOOST20

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.

I watched a bit.  It starts out with the assumption of 0 knowledge on the viewer's parts and builds from there; appears to be a decent video.
