Reply To: What’s On Your Black Friday Wish List? Latest Update

[NickBlanc]

I already did a little shopping with some drum sample packs. And I do have a wishlist, but there’s not much of significance on it to be honest. Lots of stuff there probably won’t be a deal on or the deals are the same year round (so no fomo).

Like some Drumbroker packs. They have the same sale in a couple of months, so I’m probably not going to bite. I am however going for the Production Music Live 2024 bundle. That’s probably the most expensive thing I’ll get at around $200. Orchestral Tools Illuvia if on sale. Kazrog just released a new plugin which won’t be on sale I think, so that’ll have to wait. Maybe maybe The God Particle from Cradle Audio, but I’m perhaps too much on the fence about that one to pull the trigger. Cableguys Snapback looks promising and affordable. Goodhertz Tupe if the price is right (they don’t do very huge sales and it’s still pretty expensive, but I like their stuff).

Overall nothing fancy and a lot of ‘only if the sale is good enough’. Perhaps something like Harmony Bloom or Lunacy Beam, but those don’t break the bank.

Now I do however have very fun hardware things planned. I already upgraded to 2 new cameras recently (both Panasonic Lumix G80/85, both secondhand) for my jams and other stuff I have planned. I’m probably going for a new desk, a proper studio desk. A new pedal, the Empress Echostation. I recently bought the Pulsar 23 secondhand at a fenomenal price!! So that’s absolutely amazing, looking forward to playing with that one. Aaaaannnnddd, to top it all off, with my Christmas bonus I’m looking at either the Vermona PerFOURmer MKII or a classic Juno 106! But, that’ll (both) be secondhand so there has to be a good one available. No hurries there either (both the PerFOURmer or Juno), and I took a little advance on my bonus with the Pulsar 23, it’s not endless.

Which is why I’ve only highlighted 3 things I’m definitely going to get and I probably will be holding off to get the coveted hardware.
