Will JRR be hosting PSP Mastercomp at the current special price?

Yes, we have the MasterComp sale and some nice bundles with other PSP plugins:

It was all I could do to justify the price of Pianoteq Standard for this deal. This is a great deal, just completely out of my reach (and needs). I hope you can include the Standard version soon as well.
Although I may still end up waiting for their next sale where I can just pick-up the Stage version which is far more in my budget.

JRR Shop is now offering free Add-ons for Pianoteq Standard, Pianoteq Pro, and all Pianoteq Upgrades. You will receive your free upgrade when you register Pianoteq. Offer ends September 15.

jrrshop.com/pianoteq

Unfortunately, Pianoteq Stage is still not included.

Tracktion 5 ($59 list) now includes Melodyne Essentials (which I just bought at Musician's Friend, should have waited).

You should send them an email. My past purchase qualified me for the Melodyne Essentials. In fact, I think that was the deal all along. They just had problems integrating it for a while as I understand it.

JRR has been comparable to other online dealers for me. Sometimes they have the best deal, sometimes they don't. Usually not more than a few dollars plus or minus either way. But occasionally, I have got a stellar deal that no one else could touch from them.
My only problem has been with physical products where he is required to charge me more than others.
In this, I blame our state government and not him. But most of us have to be diligent in making sure we check all our resources in comparison to get the best possible deal available.

I tell you what. I got an INSANE deal on a B-stock Orange OR15 last year at JRRShop. It was well under $500. I couldn't believe it. I felt like I robbed the poor dude!

Thanks for responding, frankz00.
Could you please elaborate? Should I write to Celemony or Musician's Friend? And what could I ask with regard to the download of Melodyne Essential I just bought?

From the announcement email:

"Don't give it another thought. We'll be auto-emailing Melodyne license codes to all T5 registered users."

so no action to take, as long as your registered your copy.

duncanm, I purchased Melodyne Essential last week, not Tracktion.
Would of course like to receive Tracktion. So I did not understand frankz00's suggestion. How could I write to Mackie (or Musician's Friend) in order to get a free copy of Tracktion?

Ahhh I must have misread your post... I was tired. I thought you had purchased Tracktion... Sorry.

Still 32-bit only, though it plays in Sampletank 3.

Does jrrshop price match? Wondering if they would match the MF/GC/M123 komplete update price of 150

Thank you, I lowered the price to $149 and gave it an extra discount in cart:

jrrshop.com/native-instruments-komplete-10-update

Back at $199? I do get a discount when logged in, but price does't go this low.
Also, is there any of the delivery options (to Australia) that you would recommend over the other? Thinking more in terms of tracking so it doesn't 'go missing' as opposed to speed of delivery. Oh, and I would prefer it to go to a Post Office box too, for security, but I know some don't like delivering to PO boxes.

How good would you say the Miroslav philharmonik orchestra is? Is it worth getting for good quality orchestral sounds? I'm not a super technical guy who needs the best of the best of orchestral sounds, but to add some background orchestral to some heavy metal music or other music would it be something that would sound good in the mix?

^ At the current prices, worth every penny. The UI is a bit of a PITA, but you can't do better for the money... imo of course.

Uncle E - I see you're selling iZotope rx4 with an in-cart discount. Are you selling the upgrade versions too? Can't find them in the shop - thanks.

Yes, Native Instruments caught their mistake and made us raise the price. They also raised our cost so I can't afford to go any lower than the current price.

Post Office box is fine. I think we'd have to ship by USPS in that case.
