Any idea when this deal will end?

Yes, I know. I was trying to make a joke. (I know my sense of humor is sometimes too subtle. Obscure, even. It's not very good, either, if I'm being honest. The deadpan delivery rarely helps.)

I'm not a native English speaker but I think you're missing the word "to" there. To say something on topic, I've noticed that some people seem to think that every library on Earth is, to quote, "pretty, pretty good" and others seem to think most of them are crapiola. There are also huge tracts of land between "this is really good [for my instrumental bluegrass music]" and "this is really good [for my operatic space techno death metal]". This is the kind of assessment I'd like to hear more often. We all need to make the subjective evaluation by ourselves (alas, usually after buying the library) but the technical qualities are not a matter of opinion or taste, though even there we differ on what we appreciate and need. Sometimes you just want something cheap that makes a consistent "boink" and a gazillion round robins and velocity layers would be a bad thing.

I suppose I could start giving you guys a heads-up whenever I come across a game that is free for a limited time. For starters, We Were Here Expeditions: Friendship is currently free on both Epic Games and Steam until 13th of October. (The original We Were Here is permanently free on Steam.) Not an actual game, but you can get Cyberpunk 2077 & Phantom Liberty Goodies Collection for free until 25th of September. You should also check the games that are always free on GOG if you haven't already. There are some gems in there.

First time buyers get a percentage discount with a referral code, right? So the more you buy, the bigger the discount. In your shoes I'd consider saving the voucher for one of the bundles during the Black Friday sales. MGuitarArchitect doesn't seem to be in any of the bundles yet, but you could ask Melda which one it's going to land in.

Does this ever go on sale? It looks like something I'd like to dabble with, but even the entry price is pretty high for just dabbling.

I haven't tried that either, but the description makes it sound like it's intended for creating crossfades.

Have any of you compared this with Melda's MMorph? Is this $89 better or are they roughly in the same ballpark? I haven't tried either yet, but I'm looking for something that can help me create so called augmented instruments using the orchestral VIs and synths I have.

You just need to break more stuff!

This is what I usually mean when I tell people I'm self-employed.

Gaah! Sorry. Did anyone else feel weird about not being able to write posts even if you didn't have anything to say? It was like someone had put a gag in my virtual mouth. Some introvert I am.

Haha! The chronic procrastinator scored again! I too had received a free Drumazon license from Plugin Boutique but I never got around registering it. Guess who just got Drumazon 2 for free?

I didn't realize Larry was powering this forum literally.

Oops. Sorry, wrong floor!

That sounds like the family plan. How do you get it for 69 € a year?

So for the next 10 days I don't have to go all the way back to page 5 to start seeing the deals that were posted over 24 hours ago?* Enjoy your trip, Larry! * NOT a challenge to Satya!

Not an exceptional price. I paid the same for it last year. I'd wager that the intro price for v3 is going to be less than €59 + upgrade price, at least that's how it was with Synth Anthology 3.

Status update for @Reid Rosefelt and @Fleer: UVI support said that they don't really have an official grace period, but since I'm such a loyal person they decided to give me a free upgrade! Much more generous than I expected, though I have had nothing but good experiences with UVI support. Thanks again, Reid. Your suggestion was obvious but I wasn't seeing the forest because of all the dang trees. I will mark this day on my calendar as the only day when I actually saved money in the literal sense because of this forum.

Wasn't there a similar incident with NI where they basically just said "sorry, but since this was obviously a mistake we don't need to honor those prices" and just cancelled the transactions for pretty much everyone? Or was it just a bad dream I had? Anyhow, fingers crossed that those of you who managed to purchase some goodies get them. I wouldn't get my hopes up with the hardware, though. That seems unlikely.

Ah, the classics. Allow me to reminisce with some classic pricing here, too. Metal Foundry: 49 € Metal Machinery: $47 Indiependent: 49 € New York Studios Vol 3: 35 € Progressive Foundry: 78 € (after Best Service promo discount) The Rock Warehouse: 78 € (after Best Service promo discount) Those are the prices I have paid for said extensions. But of course, plugins and sound banks age like fine wine.

What a splendid idea! Why didn't I think of doing that? I just opened a ticket with them about it, I'll let you know what they say. Thank you for your suggestion, Reid, sincerely. ? Well, actually, just last night I... Oh, with the Synth Anthology? Gotcha. Will do!

I have to say I'm a bit disappointed about the upgrade price. I purchased Synth Anthology 3 for about $50 a couple of weeks ago thinking I might get v4 cheaper that way. (Faking) loyalty is not rewarded, it seems. Not that it's anything new in this business.

The one I've been waiting for. Missed it last time it was on sale.

I think this is more like a prepared/augmented synth. I have their Lost Piano, and while I was slightly disappointed by it I don't regret buying it. It's interesting.
