I never figured mr. Rosefelt a metalhead. Goes to show you can never tell with people on the Internet. ?

Trust me: ignorance is a bliss. I do my personal accounting in the same manner as one would do business accounting, so I know my expenses exactly. The numbers aren't pretty. It's amazing how small purchases add up in time. And I have been collecting plugins and VSTs only for about 2-3 years. ?

I'm under the impression that most of them need a lot of work to sound good? These are my first vocal libraries with a word builder and I'm hoping they will fit my modest needs. The price is pretty good compared to other word builder libraries, at least.

Same problem here... This is getting so stressful I might have to do that too.

And looks like JRR is the only reseller for this. Couldn't find it anywhere else.

That line "until stock runs out" adds no small amount of pressure.

I hate this forum. *sigh*

I got the code from an email Plugin Boutique sent, but Larry has secret connections so he gets this information about six months before others and then publishes it when the time is right.

I keep forgetting what this topic is about, see it listed and click on it thinking it's about some kind of support group for people with GAS. This was like the tenth time it happened. My subconscious is telling me something, I think.

Glitchmachines Fracture XT is actually on sale right now at Plugin Boutique: https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/53-Multi-Effect-/3195-Fracture-XT

I couldn't find any information about a previous SD3 sale anywhere, except for the upgrade offer they had some time ago (SD2 -> SD3). That's why I decided to go with the best deal I could find right now.

After a bit of googling it seems you're right. And I did use a $25 voucher, so... Oh, well. I didn't really need the LION anyway.

And here I just used my voucher for plugin activation. Too fast. Is there someone who already knows they won't be using their voucher for this month? ?

I did some browsing yesterday and found an UK store selling Superior Drummer 3 Orchestral Edition on ebay for £370, or about 412 euros. SD3 is 369 euros at Best Service, so that's like getting the Orchestral Percussion SDX for little over 40 euros (normally 249 euros). You can get the Orchestral Edition for 529 euros at Best Service, but that's still almost 120 euros more. Needless to say I bought it. Got the serial today, registered it without problems and I'm currently downloading the libraries. Here's the link in case someone's interested: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233220886348

No personal experience yet but I'm going to quote what rdubu says about D&D at vdrums forum: That's pretty much in line with what everyone's saying, so I bought it. I picked up Metal Machinery too because it was cheap and people seem to think it too contains some good sounds, so it gives me some more options to build the kits, even if it is an older and smaller (3 GB) library. On a related note: I've searched the past deals and it doesn't look like SD 3 is on sale very often, if ever. Also, the USD is cheap-ish at the moment, so if I bought it now from a dollar shop like JRR (no offense intended) I would save about €30 compared to what it might cost later when the exchange rate gets better. Do you guys think there might be a sale later this year, or should I just bite the bullet and wreck my personal finances* like I always do during BF and holiday sales? ? *) Not really. I have GAS but I'm sure I have it managed. For sure. Yup.

Metal Machinery is $47 at JRR: https://www.jrrshop.com/toontrack-metal-machinery-sdx Death & Darkness is still $89 but they've fixed the name. ?

Right, I meant WUP for that specific product. I managed to register this as a separate product, because Waves treats the Gold bundle as a whole package, it seems. Not sure if that's what you meant, Simon, but this works for me, too. ?

I have Waves Gold so I have this already. Is there anything I can do with a second license? Extend the WUP duration or something?

I just realized that the Halloween codes are still valid today at Best Service. So an SDX + something for 10 euros and I can use the 20 euro voucher. Hmm...

I should've used the It's funny that JRR hasn't corrected it yet.

There is a distinct lack of Superior Drummer 3 on that list. Also, the "Death & Dying" SDX isn't there either, which is disappointing. What are "Discounters"?

I'm passing up this sale too, because I'm hoping PA will have a Black Friday sale with vouchers for extra discount. $15 is my new baseline for PA stuff.

Ah, of course. Yes, that's more reasonable. (For those scratching their heads: PA offers a "dynamic discount" when you activate more than one plugin, so for two plugins you need to pay only $32. $32 - $25 = $7).

That must have been very cheap, since PA charges a $20 transfer fee. So closer to $5 a piece?

I still have plenty of plugins to choose from. I bought TRIAD* during the last sale and got really interested in Unfiltered Audio's stuff. I'll have to test some of them today. SpecOps and LION look interesting. *) so I wouldn't have bought the BYOME/TRIAD bundle now, but it would've been a very good deal!
