Where else do guys go for deals? (Not a deal, but deal-related)

[Lionel]

Hey everyone,

Haven't been on here for a few months.   Just noticing that the "usual suspects" aren't posting on here much, if at all (I sincerely hope everything is all right).

Anyway, I was wondering what other places do you guys go to for finding deals?  Whether it be blogs, FB groups, forums, etc.  Very curious to know!  Thanks!

Music Software Deals is a good one, especially if you are tracking something specifically that you want to know when it goes on sale. It will drill down into quite a few sites to find prices for you, but doesn't have the interactive feedback on user experiences like this forum.

https://www.audiopluginguy.com/deals/ lists active deals. A lot of them, with several options for sorting.

Thanks for the recommendations! 👍

I'll definitely bookmark those links.

Much more active product discussion + a lot of deals get missed here & on Reddit. Plus, the removal of competitor sales here makes it even worse. 

However - I like this forum as it often posts update notifications and occasionally free stuff unrelated to audio (i.e. Humble Bundle, Free Games, etc.)

https://rekkerd.org/deals-deals-deals/ Is a good site for deals. This site also shows the deal expiration date which is super helpful.

I consider it a blessing.  My hoarding is fine without this forum.

Another deal information site
https://www.kvraudio.com/deals.php
that page also has a link to the "The #KVRDeals & Giveaways Newsletter" where they email you notices about deals.

Most of your favorite plugin developers have newsletters that will notify you of deals in many cases before the deal sites post them.
Sign up to the various newsletters and you'll get 90%+ the same info that hit this deal forum.  What was nice about this forum was that the info was in one place and the discussions and tips about the deals.

I'm interested in an invite to the limu-sine.

Thanks for all the deal-related links, everyone.  And I'm so sorry to hear of the unfortunate situation surrounding this forum.  It truly was a great community. It's amazing how it can get ruined so quickly.  Although all good things to an end, it sounds like the new forum will be a great place.

No it's not ! I live round the corner from Deal. It's bloody cold as the wind blows straight onshore from the North Sea and English Channel. Also known as Gods waiting Room. As it's a favourite place for retired folk.
