Re: Black Friday - the essential guide. 2016 Edition
You're welcome, Piet - my pleasure to give a little something back.
Also, not really musical related, but Adobe is offering a discount on their cloud service in case anyone is interested.

Re: Black Friday - the essential guide. 2016 Edition
My thanks too Kayle. Nothing leaping out at me yet - the Eventide deal had me wavering for a while though, and must remember to keep checking the Embertone site.

Re: Black Friday - the essential guide. 2016 Edition
So far, I've picked up the Arturia V Collection 5 (because apparently I need MORE bloody softsynths!) and also the Eventide compressor, because I liked its snappiness.
Have one eye on Metropolis Ark, but am not sure yet.
Soniccouture are starting a sale on the 25th, definitely worth adding!

Re: Black Friday - the essential guide. 2016 Edition
Haven't seen a compelling deal yet on the V collection, where did you find that, Matt?
Speaking of MORE bloody soft synths, the Air collection is a ridiculous $75 (including a $1 Xpand2 to upgrade from). God help me it's hard to resit - Transfuser looks sort of interesting as a Stylus alternate (?) https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/ai ... te-upgrade

Re: Black Friday - the essential guide. 2016 Edition
For anyone interested I found the Parallels Black Friday deal to be worth!
http://www.parallels.com
Also let's monitor Amazon (com, and co.uk) to see if, as usual, they put some Samsung SSD on a great discount price.

Re: Black Friday - the essential guide. 2016 Edition
Matt - is Arturia having a Black Friday Sale? I looked on the website and didn't see anything. I added Soniccouture as well - thanks for the heads up.TheUnfinished wrote:So far, I've picked up the Arturia V Collection 5 (because apparently I need MORE bloody softsynths!) and also the Eventide compressor, because I liked its snappiness.

They're having some kind of sale. Not sure it's Black Friday specific though.kpc wrote:Matt - is Arturia having a Black Friday Sale? I looked on the website and didn't see anything. I added Soniccouture as well - thanks for the heads up.

Re: Black Friday - the essential guide. 2016 Edition
UVI just started a 30% deal through Nov 29.

Been holding off getting Relayer but thinking now's the time.

Re: Black Friday - the essential guide. 2016 Edition
Also worth updating the list to include Spitfire which is offering discounts ranging between 25-50%.

Re: Black Friday - the essential guide. 2016 Edition
Thanks for the updates - I think I got them all, plus a couple more I found.

Re: Black Friday - the essential guide. 2016 Edition
Thanks for maintaining this, Kayle. This consolidated list is far more useful than fragmented, individual posts that we see over at VI-C.

Re: Black Friday - the essential guide. 2016 Edition
You're Welcome, Jason. Glad to be of help.
I haven't found anything yet that I can't live without, Although the Fluffy Audio stuff is very tempting.

Re: Black Friday - the essential guide. 2016 Edition
Nothing is overwhelming my ability to resist temptation yet either. But then I've bought a lot this year so maybe I've worked it out of my system by now.
Just got an update from Ilya Efimov in my inbox on their Black Friday sale:

Re: Black Friday - the essential guide. 2016 Edition
..And another, Audiodeluxe offering a "very limited quantity" of Arturia V Collection V4 bundles at $139.99. It says it will be the latest versions of the included plugins - can anyone confirm that? Tempting... https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/ar ... llection-4
Re: Black Friday - the essential guide. 2016 Edition
Ravenscroft 275 from VI Labs is on sale at Best Service, as are the other VI Labs pianos.
