Just a reminder that if you already have similar plugins for the Lexicon 224 reverb and the Studer A800 Tape (or if you don't mind for them anyway) for $74 you can get the UAD Producer Edition bundle directly from UAD using the June 2024 $25 Coupon. It contains everything else in this bundle and a lot more! https://www.uaudio.com/uad-plugins/plug-in-bundles/uad-producer-edition.html

I bought it at the v9 and activated it a little after v10 has been released. So, I got a free upgrade back them. Now I guess is time to pay again for it 😐

No DAW subscriptions for me. I'll keep using CbB while I can and move away when needed.

The promo is this one: https://www.uaudio.com/uad-plugins/plug-in-bundles/uad-producer-edition.html They gave a $25 coupon that can be used with $99+ purchases. The coupon is individual and you must log into your account to see it. But I don't know if it was given to anyone or for existing customers only. If it's not your case create an account there and see if the coupon is available to you.

My upgrade is $99 from FX2. I checked whats new for me and it's 2 EFX, 2 BUS, 3 DIST, REV-LX24 and Rotary. Nine new effects but I still feel underwhelmed. I think the current UAD promos (the producer bundle for $74 for instance) are better deals. But I recently got the new Microbrute V, a single synth albeit a great one, for $49. Go figure 😐 YMMV

I know that. But if they can't keep with whats being offered they could extend the period for 48h or more. The way they do the promos is frustrating and, as I said, had a negative effect on me as a customer since I have a good chunk of their plugins.

My opinion is polemic I know (since they're giving something for free) but... anyway... I don't know what Hornet wants with this "free for 24h" and being unable to deal with the people trying to get the promo. The first time I couldn't get one of their plugins for free because of that I wrote them a polite complaint and they solemnly ignored me. After that I simply don't buy anything from them anymore and ignore all this kind of promo from them. I keep using what I have but I'll never buy anything from Hornet again. I guess this kind of policy to get new customers worked backwards with me.

I can get the Producer Bundle for $74 with the coupon. I already have 3 of the included plugins but there's 13 I don't have for $5.7 each. Not bad! I'll probably get this bundle but what bothers me is that it'll not count a cent if I wanna buy a bigger bundle in the future.

This synth looks interesting. But from the main page I always have the impression that it's too similar to Padshop from Steinberg, that I already have. But... anyway... as already said... I don't need another synth. Edith says: unless it's another "perfect" vintage emulation. Isn't it you junkie!

All this worries about something that no one really knows how it will be reminds me more of King Crimsons's Neurotica 😛

I'd just be glad if Bandlab give us 'Lifetimers' at least a good discount on the commercial release (like other companies like Steinberg did back them, for instance).

I have Opal, Polymax and Brigade chorus but they don't give a cent of discount. What I'll do with duplicate licenses? Also I have alternative plugins from Softube, PA, Waves etc for all their plugins. I guess the quality of UAD is undisputed but I'll pass.

They don't use copy protection. The only limitation is the number of downloads from their site (10 for each product). I always keep a backup. There's a help section on the site. https://puremagnetik.com/apps/help-center
