In hindsight, this is what I should've done, too. I seriously didn't think a reasonable upgrade path would be available so soon. I bought 300 Gear Credits, participated in the group buy and got everything I was missing except for the new tape machines and FAME. For 21 euros more I would've gotten them too. Oh well, lesson learned. (I did get the Resonator with the GC, so it's not all bad.)

I bought it from EveryPlugin but it was registered automatically and it shows in the Waves Central. I haven't activated it yet but it says "v 13" next to it. If I wait a few years before I activate it, do I get the version of the plugins that is current at the time of activation or this version?

It's interesting they include the VPRE-73 Halloween Edition, because it was supposed to have limited availability. I hate GAS. On one hand ~4.5 euros/plugin is close to HorNet prices and I don't have any of these, so it's a great deal. On the other hand I'm not sure if these bring anything new to the table for me.

Also available at Black Rooster Audio: https://blackroosteraudio.com/en/landing/blackfriday2021 After a few moments of browsing a popup appeared offering me a $15 discount if I subscribe to their newsletter. So that would bring the price down to $84. Or €82.36 in my case, which is only about 2 euros cheaper than 99 dollars. ?‍♂️

Can I postpone the activation indefinitely, and is there any benefit in doing so?

EveryPlugin has it for $83.11: https://everyplugin.com/spliteq.html

$39.99 at everyPlugin. Yeah, ok. I'll bite. *sigh* I suppose I might as well check if there are any individual plugins worth picking up...

Yes, you can use the loyalty voucher with other vouchers.

Looks like Kirk Hunter Concert Strings are now on sale for $99. Are they better than this one? https://www.kirkhunterstudios.com/products/concert-strings-3/

80 GB, actually. And over 100 zip files to download, I hear (now it's only 40 rar files). I can't say it raised my confidence in the quality of this library when Kirk Hunter posted a YouTube comment saying: "We recently found a lot of duplicate samples and managed to strip it down to 45GB". I can understand a dozen or so duplicates, but 35 gigabytes? How do you NOT notice something like that straight away? I'm going to grab this anyway, because I'd rather regret buying it than not buying it.

Do note that they have both AutoGain Pro and AutoGain Pro MK II listed. My understanding is that MK II can do everything that the earlier version can, so I'm not sure why they have both available.

It might be worth the money, but is it worth the 45 gigabytes it would occupy on my SSD?

If I had otherwise all the plugins I need, would Softube still have something special/unique that I should take a look at?

I've been meaning to buy Sasquatch for a long time. I guess I'll snag it now.

You might get it cheaper directly from Baby Audio with the code DOMTAIP15, which gives you a 15% discount. If you don't need to pay VAT that should bring the price down to $33.15.

That's weird. I wonder if that could be just a mistake?

Can you explain how you are unable to buy them, please? I haven't had any issues with JRR and I live in EU and they have my real address.

It says on the linked page: Sounds like you could use with both.

I could upgrade from Tonal Balance Bundle to Music Production Suite 4.1 for $167.16 at JRR (with the code GROUP). That would give me Neoverb, Insight 2, RX 9 Standard and one year subscription to Groove3. Tempting.

It was probably a pricing error that has now been corrected. Decades is back to the retail price, too. But the pumpkin codes still work.

Or you could wait for it to go on sale for $39.99 or $49.99 and use a $25 voucher. The survey voucher is valid until January 31st.

Streamliner hasn't been available any cheaper than this, has it? I might pick that one up.

Oh, I didn't know there was Maleventum 2. I need to check that out. I really like Maleventum. Great for eerie epicness. Edit: Here's a video review of Maleventum 2:

With the code HLLWN2999 https://www.plugin-alliance.com/en/products.html

https://auroradsp.com/en/strona-glowna/46-rhino-guitar-plugin.html Normally $89, the current sale price is $40. If you subscribe to their newsletter they send you a voucher code worth $20, bringing the price down to $20. However, if you live in a country where you have to pay VAT their shopping cart applies the VAT to both the plugin and the voucher. For me the price with the voucher is $29.60. It's weird, shouldn't work like that and I emailed them about it. The voucher is generic, but I'm not sure if it's ok to post it here. Here's a video about the plugin. Seems nice.
