You’re not ready for this one.

The countdown to the end of the year just got serious. We’re giving you a reason to check your inbox daily.
Blink and you’ll miss it.

Every day, until January 1st, we’ll launch a new deal from our Software Store, that disappears after 24 hours.
 
Believe us, you don’t want to miss what’s coming.

We’re starting with a legend. Today, at exactly 00:00 UTC, Opto 2A, the silky tube compressor that shaped the sound of the 60s, is going to be only $4.99

 

Great price, but I have read some less than favorable comments around their copy protection and some company decisions.

I believe some of these might have initially been coded by Eddie Lucciola from Kiive.

lol, still showing $599.

It would be really nice if RRPs were *somewhat* tethered in reality!

I think their RRP for it is actually $139 but I still don't think that's necessarily tethered in reality either! Haha.. 

Showing $4.99 now, so they've fixed it up.. it's definitely a cheap price, but I'm still on the fence..

I'm trying to stay off the fence! The last thing my tin ears need is another LA-2a emulation I can't tell apart from the others!

I'm a bit the same with the LA-2A too.. if it was something different I might be swayed.. but I've got plenty of those and some I really like. I'm just not sure if it adds anything worthwhile.

Yeah, between UAD, IK, NI, PA/Neold and Logic, I'm opto-ing out. 😂
