Have I understood correctly, that Ethera Soundscapes 2.x has everything that 1.x has, so there is no need to own both? Ethera Gold is a completely different product, so there is no overlap between Gold and other Ethera titles? I have Ethera EVI 2.0, so I can probably already get the loyalty discount.

I assumed that when they say things like "get all sound libraries" and "get the full discography" it means everything, but maybe it excludes the premium stuff. I'll edit my previous post. If they offer direct links to the files you can use browser plugin like DownThemAll to get them all with a few clicks. I'm not sure if they do, though. A little googling shows that there are even plugins made specifically for downloading stuff from Bandcamp.

$20 for lifetime access is a pretty good deal. Snatched it. Edit: Wow, you didn't kid about the download process being painful. It's also possible to buy the whole collection (edit: premium stuff excluded, probably) on Bandcamp for $19.95 with the code "free2usesounds". I'm not sure if you get future updates, but downloading the files might be easier. Edit2: Actually, the server zips the files pretty quickly so downloading a whole folder is not that much work. Edit3: I take it back. If the folder is too big the server can't zip it and spits out an error instead: "7502 Server error: Not enough space".

@cclarry, if that is not your personal share link I'd like to suggest that you replace it with the referer link you get on the download page. It's in the email they send you, too. For every five people that download the pack through that link you get one more vocal pack, up to four extra vocal packs. I think it's only fair that you get them for all the hard work you do on this forum.

Coupon code "AID25" will drop the price to $36.

Yeah, you probably need to pay the VAT only if you live in the EU. I created an account and finally registered Entropy:EQ and Proximity:EQ and the price went down to about 47 euros. ?

It's €65 with the discount code for me, 20% VAT included. Quite a big difference between euros and dollars... Edit: I mean even without the VAT the price in euros is higher.

What $10 code are we talking about here? ?

For most people the answer is probably BitLocker to encrypt your hard drive. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compare-windows-10-home-vs-pro Edit: Another comparison here: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2952408/who-needs-windows-10-pro-5-reasons-to-upgrade.html

What makes this "arabic", exactly? The MIDI files?

Oh, you're right. Well that's just being mean. Not likely if they are not going to let me use my vouchers.

Well, it would work if they would let me use the $25 voucher first ($49.99 - $25 = $24.99) and then the other one ($24.99 - $20 = $4.99). But I guess they do it this way on purpose.

Looks like I can't use this code with my personal voucher, because this is applied first no matter what and it drops the price too low for my personal code. Bummer. ☹️ I don't think there is anything else I want, so if someone wants my $25 voucher (minimum spend $32), let me know.

Don't forget the extra May voucher, if you haven't used it yet: MTFBWY25 Valid until May 31, minimum spend $39.

Yup, not disagreeing with you there. Just wanted to point out the draconian terms, considering that these are, IMO, comparable to loops to some extent.

Sorry, English is not my primary language, but let me quote the whole paragraph (emphasis mine): Doesn't this mean that they can basically do whatever they want with any song you use these tracks in?

I would be very interested to see similar "most used" lists from the more experienced people in here. It's one thing to say "this is a really nice plugin!" and another thing to actually use it regularly, so seeing (or not seeing) a certain plugin on different lists would help me decide if it's actually worth the money, or at least something that I should look into. If you do post a list I personally would appreciate if you also mentioned what kind of music you usually mix or produce. I'm interested to see what effect that has on plugin choices. I personally am just starting to learn how to properly record and mix my metal/rock songs, so no favorites yet.

For game deals I recommend checking out the GameDeals Reddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/GameDeals/new/ It's surprising how often good games are available for free.

I'm on this forum only for the deals... I really appreciate all the hard work Larry does. My wallet, not so much. ?

I was about to buy both SPL Iron and Metric A/B when everything was $29.99, but then I thought: "Well, I don't really need them right this second, and they'll probably be on sale at some point where I might have a $25 voucher I can use, too." I'm happy that things went as planned for once. Still bummed that I forgot to use that February voucher during the sale, though.

Have I understood correctly that this would likely to be a single iLok license and it would cost $25 to transfer it to my (yet to be created) iLok account?

Thank you for the info, Simon. I can be very patient when I need to and I don't have an immediate need for SD3 so I'll just play the waiting game, then.

Are there ever any decent deals for SD3? I need some good metal drum kits but 380 euros is... painful, and in addition to that I will probably need to buy one or two expansions to get the sounds I want. ? Also, is this an intro price or the final price for Hansa?

Well what's the point of having two codes at all, then? I guess it wasn't like that from the start? No wonder no one was interested in my codes... ?‍♂️

I kinda forgot that the monthly voucher was valid only until the end of the month and missed my chance to get something for a really good price. Now I'll probably use only one of the vouchers for this sale, so if someone wants the other one, PM me. (I'm going to bed right now so I won't get back to you until later.)
