sarine Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I just got myself a new acoustic guitar, second-hand. I already have most of the digijunk I'll ever need, and the missing pieces are quite specific and none of them essential. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(full kontact not required ) Like I said - IF you specifically want those libraries. Even with all of them individually on sale, it's still $250 cheaper as a bundle. So when are you going to get all of them on sale at the same time, with the freebie, which will be $200+ after Black Friday? So you'd be waiting for all 4 to be discounted. You'd basically have to wait till each of them individually went on super sale, or wait for an even better overall discount. OP asked for once a year deals, and this would be it. Again, if you want these specific libraries. Could be argued they are all over priced in the first place, but hey, I'm just going by the regular price vs. waiting an eternity for Spitfire to discount all of them even further in the future.

Totally agree. I want that Collection, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Learned my lesson overpaying for Spitfire libraries that I end up not using as much as I thought I would. I could upgrade my Komplete 12 CE for $400 and get WAY more usable stuff (Noir, Cremona, Mysteria, Raum, Play Series, Pharlight, Straylight and on and on.) Seems a bit absurd.

Well, when you REALLY think about...that $700 was only ONE plugin only a few years back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's still the full, undiscounted price of most of the PA / Waves plugins ....or $29.99 if you wait for a week or two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit absurd. that Cremona stuff is amazing IMO I've only got a few Spitfire libraries and wouldn't describe them as value for money - plus some of them are still quite buggy - I've reported the bugs to support and been told 'we are committed to fixing bugs on all current products but we have no timeframe...etc.etc.etc' If money were no object I'd buy the lot but even heavily discounted I don't think they are great value ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I was new to this whole 'deals' thing. I saw Waves Diamond bundle for sale reduced from about $2000 or something down to $300 and I thought AMAZING......I've learned a lot since then....mainly that it's not about the plugins/samples/daw but about the talent 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made that point MULTIPLE times here... Zak Wyldd can take a "Hello Kitty" Guitar and be amazing... I can take a $5,000 PRS...and I'm still "Mediocre" at best... A GREAT Mix Engineer...can mix on cheap computer speakers... I can mix on Genelecs...and I'm still "mediocre" at best... TALENT first....developed and honed...

X-53mph Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 4 hours ago, cclarry said: The Sad part is...the vast majority are not very good sales! This year I've taken the view that if it's a very old plugin or library then, even if the discount is good, I'm not buying. My reasoning follows that of a library music owner who said: when a new library comes out, for the next 6 months you will get thousand of tracks made using that library. By the end of the year you don't want to hear another track using that sound. The number of bundled old libraries does not justify paying the money if the sound is already redundant. IMHO 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
