On UAD: Everybody has the cheapies, so the discount aren’t really awesome.
If you are kind of a noob (like I was) then discounts are great.
So for me UAD BF sales are kind of meh right now.

 

Softube still too expensive.

I handled the Black Friday deals last year and this year, so I’ve become super familiar with what these developers are putting on sale. UAD has never before had Sound City Studios, Capitol Chambers,  Hitsville EQ Collection, Hitsville Reverb Chambers and some other now in their Mixtape 10 for $99 bundle in one of those inexpensive bundles before last month — first time ever, for sure. That’s a BFD. Now, this one sticks with me because I contemplated buying all of those since they were released but didn’t, The cheapest they ever were before Sept was in the 2 for $79 bundles. They were never included in one of the big cheap bundles until last month and  that was only direct from Universal Audio. This month they released that deal to retailers and as I posted in a deal thread, you can get it for $89.10 with a code through Audio Deluxe making it the lowest price at any time for these plugins. When you break it down, you’ll be getting each plugin for $8.91 — and that includes their premium plugins I just mentioned, not just the cheapies.

Now they also came out with a smaller bundle, of I think 4 plugins for $49, and that doesn’t include the plugins I just mentioned. But I can say that after recently getting those, all of the ones I just mentioned are superb. I love them. UAD has quickly become one of my favorite plugin developers.
