Are any of these new freebies, or just a collection of previous freebies?

Was anyone able to use this code? It keeps giving an error during checkout when applying the code. And it’s a different error than entering an invalid code.

Do you think this is the highest discount we’ll see this year? Or will they have their summer sale with 40% to 50% off on upgrades?

This one seems to coincide with the 15.2 update

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Do you think adoption of third party developers to create extensions is mandatory for any of the Kontakt alternatives to take over?</p>

I won’t be jumping on Resing is part of these deals. Currently there’s  not even a Max grade to Resing

It does also work on the Luna Pro bundle, which would bring that down to $79.

With the lack of engagement in the non-Music deals forum, maybe a sticky with a single thread for non-Music related deals would be enough for people who are interested in non music related deals to find any new deals that might pop up.

I only check in here occasionally, but not for Game deals. Mostly I check here if there were some deals on Drawing, Animation or Video Editing software, maybe books on Writing.

Thinking about the mess that is the Diamond Comics bankruptcy process. Is there any money smaller sample library developers prepaid to NI that might be given to debtors as part of the current insolvency? For instance: do they pre-buy a number of serials to be used within Native Access so their libraries can be used with Kontakt Player? Or is their…Read More

Didn’t Magix have to sell off their Samplitude and Seqoia to Boris FX? Not sure about all of their other brands like Vegas and Soundforge.

Not sure which parts NI would sell off to get back to their ‘core’ business.

There is a statement from NI, but it’s not really saying anything substantial:

I want to personally take a moment to address the recent news about Native Instruments.

Please rest assured that business continues as usual at Native…Read More

All things Strum GS-2 are half off.

Though I wonder if Strum GS-2 ever will be getting version 3

Nothing from Izotope yet? Were they integrated into NI in a different way than Plugin Alliance, so that they might be impacted?

The other one nobody has mentioned that I want to stay as far away from NI is Music Tribe, for the obvious reason that it is run by Uli Behringer.

Also surprised nobody put Gibson on the no no list either.

I also am against UAD because I don’t want to use iLok.

Well the difference between  Music Tr…Read More

Image Line would be another candidate, maybe? Their CEO is the former CEO of NI (Constantin Koehncke).

Wouldn’t they go into competition with themselves if they bought NI, or even just Kontakt + NKS? They already own UVI.

Maybe they will split off their DJ Bra…Read More

I had an unregistered Fender Mustang Plug lying around for this reason: now I can try out Studio sorry Fender Studio Pro for half a year

So as long as I have one other DAW that I keep updated, I can crossgrade each year and have the cheapest price for 12 months of Studio One updates?

For my understanding: there is no difference between buying Studio One 7 outright and extending the licence to get 12 more  months of updates. Right?

Is the original designer involved?

Did they add a tier to their upgrade paths? There’s one for $79 for owners of 40+ plugins. I don’t remember seeing that a year ago.

Not bought software from them, but I see quite a lot gear reviews from their inhouse Guitar brands lately. So they seem to be legit.

I am on the fence: Do I jump on it now, or wait until Best Service has their inevitable coupon codes for Christmas to bring it down a bit more

Cue for Magma StressboXXX with extra knobs to tweak, for only $199 to be released in parallel with the free version in 3.2.1….

Scaler 3.2 has now been released:

I am surprised that the Omnivoice Beta is part of all versions of Cubase 15.

On the other hand they might have some telemetry set up in it to capture user usage.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Haven’t they been doing the extra freebie rotation in November for a couple of years already?</p>

Probably the same as the latest bug fix release from Cubase the other week: fixing some bugs a couple of weeks before the next main release.
Which will be paid for everyone that got SO 7 with it’s initial release.

I think I had this one as part of a course from Joey over at CreativeLive. I couldn’t get a tone from it I really liked.

I even tried Misha’s signature plugin from around that time. It was nothing like the NeuralDSP one.

@peter-ik I was looking for the Sampletank Libraries that were released a couple of years ago that were made with Eric Norlander.
What happened with those? I see they’re not even sold on your webshop anymore.

I just got an offer to resubscribe to ComposerCloud for $59.88 for the first year.

I am unsure if I’ll jump on it as I never used their stuff enough.

But if you were a previous subscriber:check your inbox/spam, as it seems to be tied to my account, and not a coupon code.

The only one I currently have in mind is upgrading my Arturia V Collection to the latest version. And if the price is right their FX Suite too

is this the normal sale they have on Cubase around this time of the year, or one to push sales before V15? With a grace period starting the day after the sale ends?

Is it January 2026 already? There better be version 7, hehe.

Focusrite and Novation customers can get 40% off Cubase, Absolute and Dorico until 4th August 2025.

Check your accounts for your personal code.
It runs via a special page in the Steinberg shop: https://www.steinberg.net/promotion/novation/

Does it do something that sets it apart from other Virtual Modular systems like VCV Rack  and  Cherry Audio Voltage Modular?

I’m looking to add a 12-String VST to my collection. But I can’t decide between OTS and Ample Sound, any recommendations?

Seems to be already up at Plugin Boutique. Though getting Bitwig 8 Track for free is not much of an incentive to buy the upgrade from them:

https://www.pluginboutique.com/search?qs=match&from=%2Fsearch&_ga=GA1.1.553668545.1679899174&q=komplete+15&oses%5B%5D=

What’s the sound quality of the modules compared to the Amplitube/T-Racks versions?

Do you think they might go the East West way, and offer something like Composer Cloud?

What has been released since VX came out?

Does anyone know if these are multi-lingual?

If they software is in German too, it might be interesting for the kids.

Release date announced , and upgrade pricing: March 25th,  $29 for the upgrade.

Maybe you can pull the installer directly off of their website. But you’d probably need the 4 digits at the end of the version number to figure out the URL

I’m still on the Slate Bundle, let’s see how quick they will update their THU package

If Scaler 3 is released before that date, I guess I know my freebie

First pre-release video showing the main page:

Anouncement and Teaser:

Looks like a whole new GUI. Looking forward to see more of it.

I put the Pigments Sequencer in front of it in Bitwig: a great Combi!

So they changed from 10 to 11 plugins in the meantime. The additional plugin is NI Massive (the old one not Massive X). If you redeemed the code already, Massive is now added to your PB account.

I assume that as long as your Update Plan is still Active until Today, all 5.3 updates are included, until they move to the next point update.
