I waited all year (didn’t buy any new ones), so my upgrade from the last synth stack is $125

Cheers. I have the same price.

Those that have a good chunk of Cherry plugins, how much is your Synth Stack loyalty price (ballpark)?

Insane deal.

Really wonder how the website is coded, because different browsers/machines/locations all bring $129. Except if I choose eurozone, then the price is ~58 eur (or ~65 usd)

Unfortunately still shows $129 in the cart / checkout.

How’s Spire for $54.80 for an attention grabber? LOL. So much for me figuring 69 was a hell of a deal.

Dammit. Back to 129. Would have bit instantly.

And yeah. Gears4Music is legit. Bought from them many times without issues.

These are quite a bit cheaper at Gears4Music https://www.gear4music.com/us/en/u-he

I wonder if their customer support has gotten better after the acquisition.

Never replied my somewhat simple and easy emails.

How about…

No.

I think they were asking about VSL’s involvement.

Remember to calculate the total money spent for that little extra sting!

Yeah. No. Never. No way. I’d like to maintain my ability to sleep.

↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑ The sad reality is that I think most of us — including me — can completely relate to this! I’ve done this a bunch of times and bought stuff twice. That’s why I’ve always appreciated Plugin Boutique having a function that shows me when I bought something from them before that I jus…

I was waiting for my Softube newsletter 25% voucher to arrive and was contemplating on Model 84 for $39.

Then I realized I already had that with some bundle of theirs that included it and a bunch of others for a total of $39. I only remembered buying Model 82 for ~20 bucks.

Lesson of the day: Don’t press “buy” just yet! You might already own it!

Based on the title, I was hoping to receive $89.10 with a code…

Sonnox was definitely cheaper around August for sure when they had some kind of celebration with ~90% discount. At least when it comes down to individual plugins. For example: Claro $12, Inflator $13 etc.

But you’re right. Late December / early January has often had some good deals not seen on BF/CM and a lot of companies have yet to start their…Read More

Because I’ve been immersed in deal posting this year, I have to respond to that one! There are literally dozens of developers doing deep discounts right now (technically, anything 40% or more is considered deep discounts, but we’re seeing A LOT of developers discounting far over 50%). UAD, IK,…

It’s been somewhat easy thus far. Aside from some smaller plugins, I don’t think there’s been any real deep discounts (maybe EastWest and Musio are the only ones that have shown how it’s done?)

A lot of companies seem to run the same discounts as last year making fomo really easy to deal with. Also if your BF discount isn’t really different than…Read More

Yeah. It never seizes to amaze me how much more effort some companies put into driving customers away instead of getting the free PR and good word of mouth for relatively little to no effort. But when the message is practically “Your investment is not safe with us” it’s kind of really easy to skip buying from such vendors.

“VST 2 is not officially supported. VST 2 plug-ins may be loaded (excluding on Native Apple Silicon) when the VST 2 plug-in scanner is enabled in the VST Plug-in Manager. However, Steinberg does not provide support for any issues related to VST 2.”

Cubase 15 apparently also drops VST2 support completely, if that’s something one cares about.

Story continued:

Video could be about quite a few plugin developers, including some that have had their cases talked about earlier on this forum.

The problem with bundles like these is I find I already have 3 out of 4 of the items.

Studio One, Windows, RME UFX, Yamaha MSP7

From what I’ve heard, EastWest allows you to exchange some duplicates in bundles for items that have the same price. Or at least have for some people online.
