someone know how much time before the unfiltered audio sale @ plugin alliance?

Supposed to start today but, even allowing for different timezones, doesn't appear to have started yet. I'm guessing it'll be around 0900 US time, which would be roughly 1400 GMT.

okay i was refreshing the page since this morning 7 AM..it seems i have to wait a few hours...

[shonky]

Sadly, I've been doing much the same. As the two items on offer are the two I don't have, I'm wondering whether this will affect the bundle price too.

[mgw38]

Not sure how long this will last, but 8dio's current 40% off $500 or more valentines day code stacks with Adagio Strings Bundle being 70% off, making it a total of $299.40!

(The Agitato Bundle by itself only works up to the 10% off $200 or more coupon, but should also get 40% off if bought at the same time with the Adagio bundle with the 8LOVE40 coupon)

Oh crap, here goes my budget ...

Kind of seems like an insane deal if you're into orchestral strings, and, of course, they're any good. I wouldn't know, but, I had to check out how much savings that was just so I could live a bit vicariously through you.

Wooo, that's some savings, amiright?!?

They introduced Anthology, the follow up product to Adagio, at a significantly lower price point, so that has to be taken into account. Still quite a bargain though.

Is the sale will be today ? or tommorow? !

[shonky]

I actuallly set a reminder for tomorrow, guessing that it will probably appear later due to the timezone. When they did their advent calendar over Xmas, seem to remember that each "day" lasted for 48 hours, not so this time unfortunately.

Well, shoot! I went and looked. I have orchestra stuff, but mostly cheap. The SonoKinetic stuff I picked up during the holiday sales and the Hollywood Strings Gold I got during their "go green" sale are the best stuff I have.

How would you rank the 8Dio?

I like the 8Dio products a lot. For me, some of the best sample libraries out there and if you are in the market for a quality strings library you cannot go wrong with them. But I am not sure if it would add a lot (if anything) to what you already have.

I keep looking at the Spitfire libraries, then at the price. Then I buy their Lab stuff.

The SonoKinetic ones are interesting because they play phrases. I haven't played with them enough to see if they just play but I don't think they do. The Hollywood strings are good, but you have to deal with the Play player. Not as easy to use as Kontakt. At least for me.

Thanks!

I was actually waiting for a 40% sale on 8Dio Majestica which is a quite unique instrument. That one I am planning on picking up this time. Not yet sure on the Adagio library.

[dzilizzi]

The Majestica does sound good. I guess it depends on whether you want just strings or the whole orchestra....

Yeah, just noticed a few minutes back. Already got Indent and Trash 2 so not sure I particularly need Dent as well, so was figuring just getting Fault but if I add Dent, it gives me an additional 20% off meaning that I can get both for around £67 (or $83.28 in real money) inclusive of VAT.

Decisions, decisions....

$83.28?

The same combo here shows up as $94.40 (and there should be no VAT).

I hate that they show different prices for different regions. I wish they settled on a single currency and let the banks do the conversion.

Did you use a voucher code? Sounds like you got 20% off $118 which would be the price for both without VAT but without the voucher.
