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.

Tip for subscribers to their newsletter, check your email for a personalized promo code, extra 25% off. The email is titled:

🔥 Black Friday starts now! Save up to 75% – plus 25% extra

I just got it btw, may take a bit.

As the IK Group Buy has ended, I am going to unsticky this thread.

It’s great to see you here, @fresh101!

You probably already know this, but in case you don’t, I went by PavlovsCat at Cakewalk Forum and use my real first name here (Peter) and usually post deals under the LinkedMusicians account.

Any idea if they offer bundle upgrades? I already have Hollywood Orchestra Opus edition, but I’m interested in the rest of the Hollywood Bundle.

Thanks. Can’t wait for the day when I will use these free samples for something.

It’s unbelievable to me that we can pick up SSL plugins for under 20 bucks (USD) on sale lately — in this case way under 20 bucks. Of course, I love that. It also makes me regret buying so many Waves plugins (except for the Abbey Road ones, I still love and will pay WUP for when I find it necessary)  — and I’m reminded of that with every email…Read More

We’re only at Nov 1 and we’ve seen a ridiculous amount of deals. Since I’ve been posting deals, I can say that Plugin Boutique has been the most focused and prolific with pre-Black Friday sales promotions. I’m sure we’re going to see the other big retailers in this space starting up their promotions in a big way very soon. I realize that last year…Read More

@pseudopop, UVI is in a pretty unique position for me — I deeply respect them, yet it’s so easy for me to ignore all their products since they’re mostly sample-based. No GAS at all (which is such a good feeling)

I understand that they may not be for everyone, but if you’re referring to my inten…Read More

Was kinda looking to buy maybe something, but none of the bundles take into account the things you already own.

Singular products seem to be the exact same prices I think that they ran last year.

I’m always tempted by these, but then I remember that Vintage Vault 4 was momentarily available for ~$125 from Native Instrument. I’ll wait until it hits that price point again and buy the whole shebang.

There seem to be two takes on this:

1. If it’s free, you’re the product.
2. Affinity/Canva has decided to skip the part where everyone pirates their software anyway and gives away the basic apps so they can upsell the AI features.

Time will tell.

I thought this was a lite version of Majetone’s product:

TRUCK DRUMS

Wow, if I didn’t already have it I’d be grabbing it. Really decent limiter, uses about 5% CPU and GPU when really working hard (on a 15 year old gaming rig), so fairly light for what it does. Reads 0.93ms latency in FL Studio.

Just a reminder, other people can use this thread to share their own stuff that they want to resell. I can change the title. I think every so often, I can do a resale thread. Just make sure it’s all stuff that the developer’s allow you to resell and don’t list stuff you got free that you’re trying to do a scam and sell for money, which is, sadly,…Read More

We’re considering spending $800 on a Mac Mini and Logic.

Rather than getting a new PC rig I’ve opted to go that route.

I tried using Logic for the first time the other night and aside from the to be expected new DAW awkwardness I was able to throw together a project (just a couple of electric g…Read More
