My normal price for an upgrade to the full bundle is $320. For three years it was $160 during BF. Finally I was ready to buy last year, but they didn't discount the upgrade to the bundle last year or this year. So that deal may be over. Maybe their focus is on the rack now?

I'm guessing that UVI will have an announcement soon. I thought Quadra was a one-off. But it seems it's a series.

Larry, is this a new instrument? There is just the old Quadra with the muted and harmonics on the UVI site.

It's £5.40 at Loot Audio, which is about $7.30 https://www.lootaudio.com/category/kontakt-instruments/channel-robot/orchestral-dust Other deals include https://www.lootaudio.com/category/kontakt-instruments/channel-robot

Based on the past, you were totally right. If they hadn't come out with 3.5, I would have been waiting years for the FAME reverb. But, you know, I have a lot of very expensive and well-thought of reverbs. But what I use pretty much all the time are the basic reverbs from T-RackS. . It wouldn't surprise me if I continue to use them even after I get Sunset and FAME. There's so much stuff I'm looking forward to getting, but mainly the new T-RackS effects. Mixbox. I don't even have the latest AmpliTube, let alone all the expansions that come with this.

I've always felt that Total Studio was the best way to buy IK products. Much better than a group buy, even a 25 for 1. Because when you own a bundle you can upgrade to the next bundle. If you own all the parts of a bundle you can't do that. I think that Larry can back me up on that. ? NI comes out with a new Komplete every even numbered year in the fall. IK Multimedia is much slower. I think it took three years from TS2 to TS3. I had to be patient. But I didn't buy when it came out because I was waiting to see if the price would be better during BF. If it wasn't, I was going to wait for 2022. So it's a completely new turn for IK to come out with Total Studio 3.5 MAX. That's like NI suddenly coming out with Komplete 13.5. With Jampoints my price is a hair below $200. This is the first time I will step on the GAS this year. I thought I'd be waiting years for that FAME reverb. It's included and it's still in pre-buy! ?

I don't know, but it's 99 to go from 3 to 3.5 minus whatever JamPoints you're sitting on.

If it sounds as good as it looks... ?

not even on Eventide site yet.

Remember to only buy one big library at this discount. After you own one Cinematic Studio big library, you get 30% off all the others. I'm not sure if that is the case with the piano or the solo strings, but definitely with the strings, brass and woods. And of course the percussion library will be discounted for CS customers whenever it turns up. What's great about this is there's no "intro price" or time limit. You can buy the other stuff when you want. As far as I know, the Cinematic Studio series has never been discounted at any other time than a few days around BF.

My first BF post was AutoGain Pro. I like the siimplicity of this over the power of MKII. I'll be trying it out on the video I'm working on now.

In the past, my post went crazy in mid-month and then all hell broke loose during Thanksgiving week. But this year I have the feeling that a lot of the sales are starting earlier.

Can you add the $25 voucher to this? Or can you only do one voucher at a time?

I missed this too if anybody else has an unregistered free license.

What a great idea.

Anybody use their AutoGain Pro? If it works well, It looks like something I could really use for my videos. I've always been a bit wary of whether this kind of plugin really works. They say it's their most popular product.

I am a big fan of Modwheel's The Lowdown, but they rarely have sales. This started out as a library with a lot of odd bass articulations and noises, and then they updated it with an excellent pizzicato and bowed bass. I really like the sound of the regular bass, and then it comes with all that other stuff. I know these aren’t discounted yet but it’s good to know what the best stuff is https://www.modwheel.co.nz/the-lowdown-v2 This is what I always used until I got Trilian. People on VI:Control rave about Straight Ahead! Bass https://www.straightaheadsamples.com/sa-bass and the Premier Sound Factory Acoustic Bass https://premiersoundfactory.com/acoustic-bass-premier-g/

My goal is to keep so busy doing my sales post that I don't have time to buy anything. It's never worked before, but there's always hope. It is true that over the years I have bought so much crap that the wishlist gets smaller. One thing I'm looking at is the V Collection. I haven't updated mine since 2016, so if the update is $100 I will finally do it.

Don't give Soundiron any ideas.

You've probably mentioned this before, but there's a set of Soundiron instruments that are still 50% off from Halloween. https://pluginfox.co/collections/soundiron/promotion I really like the Theremin. A good price at $9.50 and you can do duets with your kazoo. By the way, you can probably get a real kazoo for less than $6.50. But then you'd have to learn to play it. ?

Is this an unusually low price for the Captain? Does it often go to half price?

Uh oh. I'll probably upgrade. I hope that Sonuscore (or somebody) does a video demonstrating the 400 new themes, but I really like Elysion and $39 isn't much to get all the new stuff.

Note that if you login at the Output site, you may find a better price for the entire collection, depending on what you own. https://output.com/

Or you can just go to TigerTheFrog.com. ?

God, I really searched for this... I knew you wouldn't miss this, Larry. Sorry... But I think the PluginBoutique price on MSoundfactory may be a mistake and people should jump on it if they want it.
