Bargain Center: discussion, gossip, etc.

Jus11 -- Yep. A couple of months ago, I was enlightened by another long-time KVR member that you can click on these posters' account names and add them as 'Foes'. Their posts will then be blocked from the stream that you see. It's made the Bargains thread much less annoying for me.

I honestly don't understand why anyone here would buy from somebody whose spammy posts reek of such desperation and contempt, with their fake sales and violation of KVR guidelines.

Is Don't Crack the only vendor running promo on Arturia V for $249 ?

http://www.dontcrack.com/news/2017/09/a ... mo-50-off/

It is the same price I have in my Arturia account, but I already own v4.

I've seen it at various third party retailers (reverb.com, JRRShop, etc.) for the same price recently. If I understand correctly, these are basically codes that were distributed to (or bought by) resellers during the last sale when the collection was 50% off. I would wait until Black Friday or the Christmas season, as Arturia will likely have a sale of its own, which should in theory drop the upgrade price, as well.

Looks like IK Multimedia T Racks Black 76 is included in full, with latest Beat Magazine (no 143, issue 11, 2017)

ADSR has Polyverse Manipulator at $74.5

I reckon it could lose a few more dollars to reach "Buy Now" status. Especially since they don't allow any license transfers.

I wonder if Uncle E can chime in with a sweeter deal.

I actually did that some time ago (also did with audiodeluxe).
But it never changed anything as they continue to come html.
The problem is that these emails take so long to load the images that I end up simply deleting it before anything but the blank boxes appear. This doesn't happen with other html I receive, just yours and the other two dealers. And sometimes Time&Space.

Sorry about that. Please PM me your email address and I'll change it on our end. Each image is 50-60K so I'm guessing that's why they are slow to load. I've actually been lowering the image resolutions lately but 50K seems to be the limit while still looking pretty good.

I already 'unsubscribed'.
When I checked, it was still set to text, but not delivered that way. So I thought the next thing to try was to unsubscribe, let the service cycle through without me for a few days, and re-subscribe. I'll let you know whether or not that works when it's done.

Thanks for this. Bye bye Steve whoever the F you are.

How many times have Wave Alchemy Revolution been offered at half price.

I just got another limited offer

Little tip for those of you that have a loyalty coupon code for the new Dronar module at Time&Space. That coupon not only takes off another 20% of the Dronar module, it actually takes off another 20% of the entire shopping cart (provided that the Dronar module is in the cart and the discount is less than the value of the Dronar module). I used it to take an additional 20% off the In Session Audio Riff Generator. I don't think the coupon was meant to do that so I am not sure how long that will work.

Kind of annoying catch 22 with the NI e-voucher:

The e-voucher is valid on all Native Instruments software downloads available at the NI Online Shop. It is NOT valid on updates, upgrades, crossgrades, edu licenses, hardware, or products that are part of a special offer.

If I were to buy a product that is not already in Komplete (by which way I got the e-voucher), it is much more economical for me to save up to upgrade to Komplete Ultimate, but that I cannot use the e-voucher on

I would have been totally fine with NOT getting a voucher at all when upgrading to Komplete - other than getting a practicly useless one.
The NI marketing guys should really have a thorough think about it.

Is this a general coupon that can be PM'ed to people. If so, would someone please be kind of enough to PM it to me? Thanks!

Damn. Does anyone have a leftover dronar coupon, please?

It is kind of a pain trying to figure out what you can actually buy with it but recently I used a voucher to buy a Maschine expansion (I don't actually have a Maschine yet) and I have used the drum sounds from the expansion in a lot of projects. Also, if they release another guitar library like Strummed Acoustic 3 or something, I will definitely use one for that.

So, it definitely has its uses, they are just really minimal and you only have 6 months to use it lol.

i had a similarly funny experience with IK-Multimedia jam points. there is a crossgrade offer for Studio Max atm., if you own one or more licenses for the price of 99.99 bucks or more. to make the deal affordable, i tried to use my jam points, but it wasn't allowed ... and i didn't buy.
