Odd I entered my email again and they gave me a 35% off code.  I doubt it would work.

I'm only interested in their Kontakt libraries and the sales are nothing new since I was looking at a couple of Albions.   

I'd probably bite on one of the Albions if I got 35%.   I did get the 10% coupon (which I now think has expired), but this sale doesn't seem to be all that great.

Looks like NI came down on JRR so no codes are allowed.  Anyone else seeing K13 - K15 CE update cheaper (actual sale) than AudioDeluxe at $224.55?

Best Service has it at......oh....never mind.   :(

Bump for availability of Scaler 3.1

Appreciate you keeping this thread updated with the new versions.

Release notes:

https://www.waves.com/downloads/release-notes#v16

Logged in, and all my plugins WUP expires in four days.   Timing in my life has never been great, but it worked out this time!  If I didn't sneak into V16, I wouldn't have done WUP for a couple of years I'm sure.  Especially since there really isn't anything that interesting in V16.

I don't have any Orange Tree products - was very interested a few years back in their 12 string rickenbacker. What is the best way for a new customer to take advantage of group buy?

I guess the simple answer is find something you like and put it in the group buy.   Many of us around here have pretty much everything - I make sure I keep all the guitars libraries - simply the best in business to me.  I don't own any of his other libraries though

Looking back through my order history, it looks like I started by buying the Evolution Guitar bundle in 2017.  I participate in the group buy every other year - I always go through the process of determining whether or not individual libraries or a bundle upgrade is the best buy - each time, upgrading a bundle is more cost effective.  Interestingly enough, some of the guitars are in multiple bundles with different upgrade prices, so check that as well.  Over the years, I've bought the other bundles (Big Bottom bundle for example) to complete the guitar collection.

Me too.  Make sure you check the bundles.  Normally, adding the bundle to the group buy is a less expensive way to finish a collection.

I have to wonder if there is any point keeping Kontakt 7 anymore. 

I got rid of K7 almost immediately.  I did some quick testing, and had no issues.

I always worry about templates though.   I have a (close to) 2500 track Cubase template, about 80% of which is Kontakt.  Cubase/Kontakt support some feature in VST 3 that automatically replaces an old version with a new version.  Again, it worked beautifully this time.  I opened up my template, Cubase gave me a quick notification, and it was all automatically moved to K8.    Very cool.

What I "believe" happens (at least on Windows), is that NA downloads the complete file as an .iso, mounts it, then installs it.

The upgrade price of $249.50 for KUCE15 at Plugin Boutique is good when you consider that it comes with 4.99 of Tokens and $12.45 of Virtual Cash effectively reducing the price to $232.06 (after converting Tokens to Virtual Cash).

Does anyone know of a better deal?

Best Service - $223.89

Didn't happen.  Ik stuff always confuses me.  

Look in your products on the website.  Same thing happened to me, but I ended up with TS 3.5, not 4, so I wasn't eligible for the coupon.   Given the other issues, I decided to not purchase.

Did IK ever get their Morley issue sorted out?

I still need to pick this up.    Is it pretty stable now?

Same here. Had the given me a $100 off voucher I'd have been much more inclined at $299.

Same here.   They gave me $50 as well - I would have jumped if I got the $100
