For $24.99, this has to be the best sounding sampled piano on the planet right now.

13.75 EUR? For a time shaper? That's just so unfair.

In the current context:

Yep. Stillborn.

Well, well, a gathering of spies... (it so happens that I also worked in a restricted environment, with an appropriate security clearance). Generic and security-focused apps have very different risk models, so it's no big deal and a fact of life that you'll get false positives. On one hand, large software companies look at the big picture - technical/development/cost advantage vs increase in the overall probability of new vulnerabilities being introduced into the system, while security-centered companies view the latter through a very low risk acceptance threshold (e.g. if you pay for your antivirus and you end up losing all your data because of a virus, you won't care much about the fact that the prior know vulnerability of your system through the protocols allowed by their software was lower than 2%; rightly or wrongly, you won't buy their product anymore). I would suspect this analytical framework covers everything, including backdoors (so it would still benefit them to use heuristics to flag potential backdoors, until the details of particular exploits are better known and/or to anticipate unknown threats). Anyway, I love Plini. If it has a backdoor, I'll probably wake up one morning to find my S-Gear presets sounding like Amplitube 3. There'a heuristic for you!

Kind of silly if we don't get the loyalty voucher in time for this. But... I get PA, they're trying hard not to become Waves 2 (price-wise, nothing wrong with Waves), you can't fault them for that. They do reward patience with great deals on some great plugins.

It's those delicious cookies. Clear them, or access it in Incognito mode, it'll work.

Hmm, 1 from Russia and 1 from Ukraine? Maybe they flag imperialist capitalist plugins and they're only happy with the slimmed down, protection-free, FSB approved backdoor-ed, cracked versions.

Here's our very own king's $25 voucher, if you want to grab something quickly with it before it expires: 2020-08-25-QD5YB Now, I hope PA is listening: The People passed on buying their highly touted EQ for $14.99. Not to worry, my credit card will (again) come to their rescue first thing in the morning, once I get that 'Yearly MEGA Bundle offer for $19.99'. I'm not really into automatic renewals, but ok, FINE.

It's probably just me, and I'm sure it's awesome, but I think the last time this UI was 'incredibly fun and addictive' was in 1992.

Better not get it then. If we start buying plugins that cost 75 EUR on a sale, after we demo them and 'we don't know what to say', we're doomed. Really, that'll be the end. Scientology level stuff, with hydrogen bombs dropped into volcanoes.

Now $25 cheaper with a voucher from The King!!! ? I grabbed Larry's $25 voucher when he kindly offered it a few days ago, but I forgot about the 'one voucher of a certain value per account, per month', so I couldn't use it. Then I forgot to pass it along ? Hopefully not to late for someone who wants to grab this nice EQ. Just PM me if you need it. I LOVE their freebies, they're awesome. I use the EQ and the compressors all the time.

If you prioritize for clean sounds, up to crunch, Plini sounds best to my ears, and is the more versatile. If you want a wider range of sounds, more high-gain modes, Nolly is definitely more versatile overall, and also has nice cleans, as Zo pointed out. So if overall versatility is the goal and you're only going to get one of their plugins, Nolly probably makes more sense. Compared to Nembrini, Neural DSP's stuff is far less transparent. Their amp sims do a lot of heavy-handed tone shaping that you can't really configure (even if you turn off all the effects, and use your own IRs); that's the penalty for those great mix-ready sounds. In turn, the Nembrini amp sims are great to play around with - custom IRs, third party effects, comps, EQs, you can use them in so many ways.

They seem to be targeting the upper end of the market for now. Less presence, no resellers, fewer discounts. It's hard to blame them, as their product line (including the Quad Cortex) is pretty boutique (top-notch interface and sound, distinct flavor). They might come across as expensive to your pocket (and mine!), but I feel they're still good value, compared to the competition. It's nice to be able to grab one, when the time is right. Kind of like snatching a dream Eventide plugin on a good sale. ?

They'll probably have another BF sale or a group buy sale, if you can't get it now. Half-price it's good value for what it does, but I hear you, I did stare for a long couple of minutes at the checkout screen before I hit the payment button, trying to resist it. ?

Just got it. I've been waiting patiently for a Plini sale for a while now

Good value, especially with a coupon - but worth noting that Black Rooster's VLA bundle, with VLA-FET, VLA-2A, VLA-3A, is (still) on sale on their homepage for $38.

The Music Production Bundle is $251 at jrrshop. Pretty great value for all it contains. But if you don't need RX7 Standard or can do with RX7 Elements (which I think is free now on Pluginboutique with any purchase), you could get the Tonal Balance bundle at about $125 and get whatever you need from the Exponential Audio reverbs separately (they've been on sale a lot, with current sales at Pluginboutique and Audiodeluxe). I was also tempted by the MPP, but I have Acon's Digital Restoration 2 suite + RX7 Elements and some of the EA reverbs. I had been waiting for a good Izotope offer to get O9 and Neutron 3 advanced, and the Tonal Balance bundle offer was just too good not to get it.

You can load the various modules from INSIDE Ozone and Neutron as individual plugins. Say, you want just an EQ, or compressor. You need the advanced version for this, with the standard license you'll load the full Ozone or Neutron, then activate/deactivate whatever module you need from them.

I'd love to have it if it's still available. Thanks!

A buddy of mine successfully installed the "iZotope Tonal Balance Bundle Upgrade from any Ozone or Neutron Standard/Advanced", having owned only Ozone Elements. So the upgrade might actually be: (any Ozone) OR (Neutron standard/advanced). I have no idea if this was a fluke or some error, so definitely check with Izotope or JRR, but this suggests that you could upgrade from Ozone Elements to the Tonal Balance Bundle for $125! Awesome deal.

It might be worth noting that the entire collection is $154 at everyplugin

They might have changed this, but a few months ago I unexpectedly got a nice freebie after a purchase. In my case, the retail value of the plugin I bought was enough to get me the freebie (similar type of promo to this one), even though I paid (much) less for it, as it was on sale.
