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

This is what I always used until I got Trilian.

 Spitfire's The Ton. Skipped last year. If there is anything LCO, EVO-like or Olufar. Then game on.  May also expand my Heavyocity beyond the Intimate Textures I have. And keep a close eye on T&S. Hoping for some surprises.

Listened to the demos, got excited then "full Konkat required" came into play.

Thinking about picking up the Liquidsonics bundle if it is discounted like previous years. I really don't need any more reverbs but I want them. 

Kinda wouldn't mind the TC EMT 250 as well.

This year is pretty simple buy what suits my fancy.

Also, I picked up a PA $250 voucher that I hop will get me from 7-10 items of theirs I don't already have. Truthfully it's getting slim pickings over there for me. Got all the good stuff over the last 10 months or so for decent prices.

I'm still waiting for that “Talent” VSTi

I got so much new IKM stuff on my system now that I pledged to learn to use it before I buy anything else.

The master plan: Make as much as I can from stock investing so that I can get every plugin and library on sale

Jokes aside - My plan is

1) review this forum and Reid's list and get all the "no brainers" I don't already have.

2) get Avid support plan renewals if they go on sale

3) head over to producerplanet.com and see if there are nice deals for the vouchers I still have,

4) get the Cherry Audio Year Three collection if it is released and on sale

5) keep an eye out for sales of chickensys translator

6) keep checking the KVR trade forum during December and January to see if there are any good "buyers remorse" deals

[DeeringAmps]

The only thing I’m looking for is “Legacy of Rock” (and EZBass midi six pacs). Hopefully, I will complete all the work accumulated on the current road trip; then I can/will? hunker down and truly “learn” the far too many VST &VSTi I already own. I keep promising myself I will “thin the herd”. I did just that with studio hardware, now can I repeat the process with software?

stay tuned....

The recent Softube Mutator doesn't count. There is nothing in the IKM portfolio that overlaps with that, so it's a valid purchase. ?

My strategy is to come back here and re-read this excellent part of your post!

As my country's currency is melting (Brazil), it would be a good idea not to buy anything.  But I can open an exception to a Synapse Audio Obsession promo, if it happens.

Liquidsonics

My goto for "big reverb". The only others on regular rotation are the UAD plate and Valhalla. 

NB. They recently added iLok machine authorization.

Black Friday Strategies: (1) Set up incoming e-mail so all music software e-mails get sent immediately to Trash and (2) Put the Deals thread on Ignore.  ?

I've made a wishlist containing some 20 plugins/preset packs/sample packs ranging from € 10 - 350 (discounted), averaging at around 100. I included stuff like Arturia's V-Collection, Omnisphere and a huge Spitfire sale, so if I leave them out, that halves the average to €50. I've kept track of previous sale prices for all my wishlist items. If they do not at least match those discounts, I'm not buying. If they do, I'm buying. Worst financial case, I'm down €2000 but with an empty wishlist. So that would give me a very cheap 2022, right? Right guys? I'm serious...
