Everything looks to be there on PA website. Now where's that cart discount code?

Good question, anyone know if there's an active cart discount code?

Dirk stated on Facebook there will be no further discount since the prices are already the best they give all year. vouchers + prices will last until January 5th (then next sales will be announced i guess)

I already thought if there's no cart discount it could be with purpose. Just a vague idea.

edit: not everything, Sandman Pro is missing for a start.

Sandman Pro is there.

Yes it is. But unfortunately, at least my account shows the following (screen shot):

Version Upgrade
Product: Unfiltered Audio Sandman Pro
Current Price: $29
Your Price: $49
As a registered owner of the Sandman, you can get the Sandman Pro for $49.
Just click the button below and follow the checkout process.
For further information, please read our Frequently Answered Questions.

For the new clients, $ 29, but a special deal for old customers, who own the Sandman, only $ 49!

I will grab that deal immediately

I noticed that when it first came up. I thought it was rather funny.

Not the first time this happened at PA though. And PA is also not the only developer that does it that way.

I picked up the Maag EQ2 - didn't really need it but for $4 (with voucher) it's a really sweet little EQ. Now I just have to find a project to use it on

Great deal!! I grabbed that on sale in 2015 for way more $$ and it's a wonderful plug for adding non-harsh presence "air". MAAG EQ2 and EQ4 are both great.

I just snagged 3 plugin-alliance.com deals now that all of the December offers are listed to choose from. Most excited to try out the Brainworx Pan EQ.

Hats off to PA for their marketing approach. I now have 24 of their products and expect to get more in future years ... and maybe before 2017 is over.

I figured PA got smart and disabled the multiple item discount this year. Guess theres no reason for anyone to
buy 30 copies of bx_tuner any more

I got the subsynth, bassdude and the drum exchanger for $12 so I cant complain. Pretty impressed with the subsynth actually, works much better then anything else I have along the same vein, and I do have a few.

[dandezebra]

Subsynth is the schnibbs. Also, the Unfiltered Audio stuff I picked up last month and this month have blown my mind. Fault? Sandman Pro? Dent 2? Now this year for Specops and Zip... Ha!

[mutantdog]

How does Subsynth compare to Voxengo LF-MaxPunch?

Also, imagine the sort of bundle deals to be had with a load of $5 bx-tuners if they hadn't disabled it.

[dandezebra]

I haven't tried Voxengo's but Subsynth, from what little I have experimented with, adds the balls to bassmakesmyballsrumble...

[mutantdog]

LFMaxP is great for basses and many instruments, not so good for drums I've found.

I think I'm sold on subsynth, but it will have to wait for now. Would appreciate your impressions of the other 2 once you've had some time with them.

Hope the january voucher will come punctually...

From the latest PA newsletter:

Voucher codes: please note that all December voucher codes will be valid until the end of the Xmas promotion. New January vouchers will be issued after this promotion only!

I really like PA - at first their (non-sale) products seemed overpriced to me (well, out of my budget) but once I was on their mailing list and getting the monthly vouchers and deals I quickly warmed to their way of doing things. If you can resist impulse buys when something new comes out it's not long before it'll be offered discounted and with the vouchers those can be really deep discounts.

Another thing I love is that the monthly vouchers can be used to get 'free' plugins - most companies that offer discounts expect you to pay *something* but with PA you can often get two discounted $9 plugins for free - that's incredibly generous (if I hadn't bought the EQ2 I was thinking of getting the Lindell 6X-500 pre-amp and SPL Attacker Plus for free).

Bassdude is good as well, so long as you like the fender sound. It’s a great emulation imho. Hardcore speed metal guys probably won’t find much there.

Haven’t figured out the drum replacer as yet, and I had to go to work. Double time for me at least.
