Best Service Easter discount is also down from last year... $5 off $50, $10 off $100, $20 off $200, different code for each one. Instead of telling us the codes it's an "Easter egg hunt" through their website. Well if they really wanted to force us to do that they'd make the codes unique (which they could do by requiring us to log in first), so it would be great if somebody would post them here....

Found over at VI Control:

"#BUNNY5, #EGG10, #CHICK20

They are always to be found in the BestService tabpages like "about"."

I see Steinberg has a new bundle of plugins through 3rd parties on your account page (in the Vouchers section) if you own Cubase 13.

PolyMAX, Wasted Space, Melodyne Essential, Fosfat, Guitar Rig 7 LE, etc..

You can get "The Wayford Everything Bundle" (https://wayford.gumroad.com/l/everythingbundle2024) for free if you buy anything from my buy/sell page.

No ending of promo. This is permanent.

I see Cubase is 30% off. I seem to remember previous years it's been 40% off.

I believe you're correct. I was hoping this sale would be better.

The good thing of the sale is that updates are also discounted (they not always are) and that the educational version is discounted too, this never happened AFAIK

Hello, who here has a Plugin Alliance $50 or $75 voucher that they don't plan on using? I have some license transfer fees to pay for some plugins, but the $25 vouchers now have a $40 minimum instead of a $32 minimum because they became greedy.

EDIT: Thank you jezjez for the code! Means a lot.

Why can't I get UAD's first purchase discount if I have never bought anything from them? Well, the good thing is I didn't really have 200$ regardless. But the Studio...ugh anyway. Their support doesn't answer either, no reply.

Because you can't even get discounts if you have bought from them before: they value their plugins at 1 to 2 EUR / plugin. It's what they offered me as a "discount" for owning plugins to complete a bundle.

I love some of their stuff (like Ravel and the Century Tube Channel Strip) but that's just ridiculous and I won't invest in them further...

Too bad, really...

My problem is I've genuinely haven't bought a single thing from them. Nothing. At all. And a 39$ difference is a lot in my current situation.

At least I got Drew's (on reddit and on twitter) stamp of approval on my skins, so at least something.

Besides the really good piano (one of the best I've ever played), there's not really much to get from them that you can't find from other plugin developers. You'd be better off spending the $39 on the market here or on knob - that's how upset I am at UAD

The "freebies" are really nice, LA-2A, PolyMAX, but everything else is not really worth investing in IMO.

Good deal, great synth.

Yes! When I bought it the deal I had was a bit less, but that's still a good price.

[Uncle E]

Yes, I think I bought it when it was $39. The recent $19 Model 82 deal, too.

btw, where are all the people slinging TAL-Sampler after the Black Friday pricing SNAFU? I need a cheap TAL-Sampler!!!
