Black Friday 2017

[Guy Rowland]

Set credit cards to stun.

This won't be a completely exhaustive list, there's just too much stuff to make it practical. However, this will hopefully be a one stop shop for all the big deals, plus some smaller gems that might otherwise get lost in the noise. I'll keep this OP updated - please post below if you see something good not in the list. And a general tip - resellers such as JRRshop, AudioDeluxe, Plugin Discounts etc might have additional savings on top of these.

[Jaap]

Izotope has a sale with discounts up to 67% (according to Best Service) - https://www.bestservice.com/deals.html#1152

[Guy Rowland]

Thanks Jaap - according to the iZotope website they're rolled out week by week, and I wasn't sure all the Best Service prices were yet discounted. So I've added iZotope to the OP with the official line of new discounts each week.

[tack]

I've been waiting for a deep discount on Adaptiverb but I don't see it on JRRshop, where it's listed for $229 USD. (Ok, it's cheaper than Zynaptiq's site, but definitely not 44% off.)

[Guy Rowland]

Yeah, on my JRR shop flyer they definitely say 44% off Adaptiverb but I noticed it was missing on the site - a glitch hopefully.

[soundbylaura]

Thanks for the thread, Guy!

[kony]

Thanks for the thread, Guy!

"Thrill" from N.I. Is calling to me. I'm trying to resist.

[wst3]

Have to agree, Thrill is one of the first such libraries that grabbed my attention. I _could_ create a lot of the same sounds, but this would make it so much faster - and easier! And I'm impressed with the quality of the sounds they used as source material too.

[heisenberg]

Doing my best to resist this year. Unsubscribed from all music product mailing lists. We'll see how that goes. Do appreciate the effort here though.

[J Rod]

Im interested in CSS but can wait, also NI Thrill but i'm in the Komplete Wagon so i pass, also after buy some days ago 2 NAS, i'm out, my debit card is on fire i see the flames coming out of my wallet. i'm now in mode "ignoring black friday". good luck all of you.

[Guy Rowland]

Thanks J - and thanks in advance to all for other contributions, I'll add to the OP but it might get boring for everyone if I thank every time as a post But please do take it as read that I am genuinely grateful for all tips here.

Garritan 40% off sale:

Mastering the Mix Expose $12:

Performance Samples, 11/17-11/25:
http://performancesamples.com/

[Guy Rowland]

Thanks Quasar, added - just to add that I tried Expose last week, and I thought it was truly awful. Red flagged literally everything I threw at it, inc stellar commercial mixes. You've be better off spending $12 on a whip and beating yourself with it non-stop for a month imo. But hey, it's a free trail and YMMV.

[Guy Rowland]

You could almost buy two of these, Anders - - £6.99 and FREE UK DELIVERY!

[Quasar]

Thanks Quasar, added - just to add that I tried Expose last week, and I thought it was truly awful. Red flagged literally everything I threw at it, inc stellar commercial mixes.

LOL. I looked at it and came to a similar tentative conclusion, although their Reference plug (not on sale ATM) does look quite useful, potentially.

I do hope to find time to compare how it responds to proven pro mixes side-by-side in CD 44.1/16b vs. the various lossy formats found on iTunes etc., but I haven't put that together yet. In fairness to any product that tries to do what Expose purportedly offers, it would seem almost impossible to account for all of the file types out there, not to mention changes in styles over time, so-called loudness wars and all of that... But yeah, unless I learn something I don't know now, I'm taking a pass on this too.

Audiobro appear to be having up to 64% off with a Black Friday week coupon code

[Guy Rowland]

My first cave-in of the season - Modo Bass for £86 at Audiodeluxe, inc PayPal currency conversion. WHAT'S A MAN TO DO?!!!!

[Quasar]

Audiority is having a 25% off sale for all of their products, except bundles and this new hardware emulation delay/echo thing called Echoes T7E.

I was really taken with the demo of this, and it's only $29 US on intro, so I bought it:

https://www.audiority.com/shop/echoes-t7e/

[KyleJudkins]

jokes on you guys, I'm unemployed. I'm down to spare change and guitar picks - so I don't need to worry about resisting deals. I just came here to look at things I won't be able to take advantage of, in some sort of weird mental self whipping - undoubtedly cheaper than guy's link.

[Guy Rowland]

Various deals added, thanks again all. Kyle, feel for ya, look out for the freebies in the meantime (e.g. the SoundToys Little Plate - still free for a coupla days - http://www.soundtoys.com/product/little-plate/ )
