That means you have not been invited to the pre-sale

[Fleer]

One does not invite the king. 
The king is like the Dude. 
The king abides.

The only other time will be Flack Briday....

Sale is now LIVE!

Too bad they don't discount their $29 stuff.  I guess Spitfire must think they are so cheap already?   But even a 10% discount ($3 off) would be nice.

My thoughts exactly. 

[TracingArcs]

Very tempted by Albion V - Tundra (love me a bit of on the edge of silence). But NI summer sale is coming up and could get K12 to K13 upgrade and possibly Arkhis for the less than Tundra. Can only get one.......?

[telecode 101]

I am looking at some stuff. Black Friday was 50% off or 40%? I can't recall.

@TracingArcs the Komplete stuff is great, but I don't think it compares to Spitfire. I can't comment on the new sound design synth stuff that NI made in last few years. Have not used it.

Spitfire Audio will have same prices at end of year, but not NI

[TracingArcs]

Yes. Black Friday means Spitfire will be back to these prices. And maybe The Ton will be as good as 2 years ago (BDT, Edna Earth, Piano).

Agree that Spitfire have a more sound design orientation in some of its instruments than NI. However Arkhis was in collab with OT (Orchestral Tools). And sounds very interesting.

Arkhis is very good for soundscape and layering - lots of cool articulations on strings and woodwinds.  I've paired it on a couple of projects with Spitfire LCO Textures and they sound great together.

True. But I’m on K12U CE and I’m going to wait until K14 before upgrading. As for Tundra (and Neo) it’s pretty, pretty good.

I am on K12U. I am just now slowly reaching using maybe 60% of it. Too much stuff in it.

I think of Spitfire and VSL as boutique libraries.  For one who does not need to go crazy with orchestrations these are probably great value instead of wasting money on those cheap Sonivox libraries.
