The Diamond intro offer is $24.96 each for 28 stellar plugins and instruments.

I wonder if they will eventually port all their plugs to native. Obvs Unison plugs will need to run in Unison enabled interfaces.

Watch Paul Third YouTube videos before buying more plugins (except if you are Bapu).

There may be better plugins than UAD that you have, or have the Plugin Aaliance version, pr the Softube version, wchich seem to have the same code so should sound exactly the same.

Thankflully they haven't caught on to modern pricing schemes yet so it makes it an easy pass on everything.  (even if they don't have the PA or Softtube counterpart - that don't require Ilok and sound the same)

I already own some of the plugins in those bundles. It’d be ideal and fair if UA took into account the plugins we already own and discounted the bundles accordingly. 
 

Doesn’t make sense having to pay for plugins we already own.

I own a lot of plugins in those bundles. Been using many of the ones that are natively available via UA Connect for months. (Working mobile and don't bring UA hardware in my mobile rig.) Adding any of the bundles to my cart while logged in gives me full price.  

I guess I'll just keep using them for free lol. 

Only ones I really care about anymore are the Lex 224 and LA-2A collection, as I find them superior to alternatives from other companies. Everything else has been replaced already. Too little too late imo - UA should have been competing natively years ago.  They've long been surpassed by competitors.
