Fleer Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 3 hours ago, MusicMan said: Yes and no.. you get at least 6 or 7 free when you first register. All the sub $19 range most people that have been around for a while have picked up for free, which is quite a few plugins. You also get some more expensive ones free with certain audio hardware. Some PA plugs also come with an additional plugin when you buy them. I tend to only buy from about $10 to max $25. Average is probably $15 for me, although I've had some ridiculously cheap scores with bundles and voucher stacking ? I was adding some of the costs to my plugins sheet the other day and I have a tonne of PA plugs as well and looks like it might end up around the same as 2 years of the subscription. But they're all owned and I have all I really wanted. Now I'll just pick up a couple of nice to haves occasionally and I have no annual ongoing costs ? I'm not saying their subscription is bad and I think it's probably the best I've seen, but in the long run the subscription option isn't always the best way in my opinion. PA is in the $0 to $15 zone for me. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same normally.. there have been a few plugins that I could've easily gotten for $15 if I waited a bit longer, but I just felt like grabbing them! Thinking the 9000J and Amek 200.. I paid $25 for them. But I do really enjoy both of them, so I don't mind too much ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While that is where I prefer to stay they have a number of things worth more than that. Amek 9099 (lots of wasted $15 purchases once I got this - granted it took a lot of purchases to get a voucher big enough to make that a reality) SSLJ Blackbox HG-2MS Amek 200 And I could make the case for a number of others. It really is a wonderful thing that so many can be picked up for $15 or less with patience and timing though. And I find it a bit relative because of the rest of the market. Am I going to pay more than $15 form another developer for a similar tool? Not unless there is some real value there (unlimited authorizations, fully resizable UI, lower CPU usage, special feature set), as I've come to expect that most PA plugins are going to sound as good or better than most other makers with similar cost so that usually isn't a factor. (other than reverb and delay) Edited April 5, 2022 by Brian Walton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a great game… Ahhh but 17 of the PA Plugins I already have covered by other vendors (mostly UAD). I hope you can top me there. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Cormier Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I have a $25 and $50 loyalty voucher along with the $25 open voucher PA just announced. Can I stack these? How do you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I stack these? How do you do it? The $25 vouchers are the same number, so you can't use them twice. And loyalty vouchers don't stack, so you can't use the $25 and $50 in one transaction. Each one usually stacks with individual plugin discount codes though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
