  1. I don't remember it being $430. But I don't know... maybe it was. On this page it is listed at $215, but there's no crossout from the original price like with the bundles. ttps://www.boomlibrary.com/shop
  2. Some total losers might say, "wait for the Christmas Wish List sale. The deals are better. You'll get more for your money." How stupid can you get? ? Definitely spend £299 on Spitfire next week. That's only $402!
  3. Graphics are identical to Ask Audio, which are more deeply discounted. https://ask.audio/academy?nleloc=plans&sess_id=hdpfnq16c1japidjs0i3rogh10 Are they different? If they are different, it seems a weird choice.
  4. Do you lose them when you cancel your subscription?
  5. The cheap one is actually $29 on the page and comes with "290 inspiring instrument presets" The $45 one is the ultimate bundle and comes with "529 inspiring instrument presets" But it does seem like a yearly sub to Loopcloud is probably the deal if somebody was interested in this.
  6. Every year I look at this and want it a tiny bit more. And it is is total GAS. I doubt I would ever use it.
  7. The Fluffy Cello is set up in the same way as the Fluffy Woodwinds, and I have all of them. They really make nice solo instruments. Nobody does them quite the way they do. Extremely playable and very easy to customize. The cello has some presets--different kinds of reverb settings, etc. That's not too common. You get visual feedback while you're playing. You can adjust the legato with a visual display. So it's not just some little thing with no features. It's made with loving care by people who love music. And it really sounds good. We are lucky that so many nice products like these are around at every price point.
  8. I broke my old one a few months ago by jamming something into the headphone jack I shouldn't have. Doh! ? So I bought a new one. I had to have it. The new one is a little better. But I didn't register it yet. Not because I was being strategic about something like this happening--how could I guess that?--totally because I'm a procrastinator. The box is sitting on my desk to remind me and for me to ignore. Being a shmo may have paid off. It says "purchased or registered" so I"m thinking it's looking good for me getting all that stuff.
  9. But isn't this for people who registered "on or after 10/1/21?
  10. I have the Tino Broz and Tina Guo. I got the Fluffy cello as part of a deal from VSTBuzz or APD that also included their flute. So I didn't set out to buy it in the way I did Tina Guo, and my favorite, Bohemian Cello. I just played the three of them and I would say that the Fluffy cello is worth $49. It's really nice. It's not on the level of the other two, but if price is an issue, you'll be happy with it. And you can get an update to the other members of the trio, if you like it. In terms of tone, the difference between the Fluffy and Tina Guo is staggering. The Tina Guo is so lush and beautiful and inspiring. It's a classic, that's for sure. The problem is that it is only a legato. It doesn't have any other articulations. IMO it is hard to play it fast, although some disagree. They sampled a lot less notes than all other sampled cellos, so everybody finds themselves reaching for a note that's not there . A cello can easily play it, but not Tina Guo Legato. But if you write something for it, according to what it can do, it's amazing. The sale on Bohemian Violin and Cello to me are one of the best deals of this year's BF. at $149. They are selling at the lowest price ever--lower than I paid in 2016 and 2017, when they were introduced, and include a free update to Version 4, which comes out in December and will sell at $249. The Virharmonic Bohemian instruments are exactly like Scaler in the sense that they pile on features as free updates. You get these free updates that take the instrument to a whole new level. The idea of the series is very simple. They call them performers. The way the musician played is incorporated into the scripting. You just play the piano like a piano and don't worry about trying to make it sound like a string instrument. It does all the work for you. Like magic. Based on how fast you play it changes the bow movements and other aspects of the playing to make it lifellike. You can choose a number of different playing styles. I would assume that Ver4 of the cello will have more styles. So I would say that if you could swing the $149 for the Bohemian Cello, that's something you will be happy with forever. You'll never need anything else. There is a certain degree of faith in this purchase in that you are buying something that is going to be tremendously better in a few weeks. But it's already great. If what you are going to do works with the sound of Tina Guo, you'll be super happy with that. If you like the demos, that's what you'll get.
  11. The only question I would have for new buyers would be if there will be a grace period when Scaler 3 comes. But Scaler 2.5 is a bargain at $49. It is such a deep compositional tool. It can keep you busy for a long time.
  12. It is discounted now but it wouldn't surprise me if it is even lower by next week.
  13. Also their very interesting looking Emisynth, which is a bundle of 11 obscure Russian keyboards is selling for $19 at PB https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/1-Instruments/55-Kontakt-Instrument/7599-EMISYNTH/ This looks like a job for @Simeon Amburgey ? There's an 85% off sale at Strix, but these two are $29 there. https://strixinstruments.com/
  14. Scaler is one of the best purchases I've made since Omnisphere. It's the gift that keeps on giving. I'm working on a video comparing nylon string guitars (like Nylon Sky) and I'm going to see if I can use this.
  15. The 12 Days starts up on December 6th. They usually do a BF sale on selected libraries and that stuff doesn't end up as 12 Day deals.
  16. It's called GAS (Guitar Analog Synthesis) It's 50% off and I have no idea if it's good, bad, or ugly, but that name is briliant! https://www.lootaudio.com/category/kontakt-instruments/audiowarpc/gas
  17. I couldn't agree more. This is a minority opinion, but I like Arturia more when they invent, as with Pigments, my favorite synth they do, then when they try to do a CS-80 or whatever. And some of those plugins, like Delay ETERNITY and Rev INTENSITY, intrigue me. With those and stuff like the Dimension D and JUNO-6 Chorus might seal the deal for me. for the 70 bucks.
  18. I think of them as instrument libraries, but they have some interesting effects too.: Naturaliser, Transformer and Evolver. Each one is €19.50 with the YES21 code.
  19. Also extra 20% off with code TIGER. Which is a much better code IMHO.
  20. I have resisted upgrading my V Collection since 2016, but they've got me this year for $99. That was on my list if they had this price. But their FX Collection was not on my list because I already have more reverbs, compressors, etc. than I can use. But I do admit there are some very unusual plugins ithere that could be fun to play with. And they all look beautiful. Even if they aren't any better than the ones I own, they look stunning. Good artist. My memory is that it was $99 for me to get the original set and now it is $69 to get version 2 which has more stuff. Hmmmm.... This is definitely GAS at work.
  21. I'm confident that every store that handles Arturia will have the discounts when Arturia starts the sale. Somebody on VI:Control said they tried to buy from Best Service and they didn't have the serials yet. Best Service jumped the gun on Eventide's SplitEQ too, putting it up before Eventide did. And if you own anything by Arturia already, definitely wait until the sale starts, because there will no doubt be special prices for you when it starts. I'm hoping for $100 to upgrade to the latest version of the V series.
  22. I'm not giving up my other set of CB1s that's not broke. I love it. But I do have to find another pair, no more than $150. If anybody has a recommendation for something decent in that price range, let me know.
