The "mandatory" update for Abstract Textures broke their licensing system on my Mac. It now refuses to load the license file. I am starting to get a bit tired of being a perpetual beta tester. I know it is only 1$ but at the moment I feel I should have invested that buck elsewhere....

I refunded your purchase. Sorry for all the inconvenience.

Luca

Haha, that is actually funny. I never really requested a refund but I admire your dedication to make a point. Touché!

I seriously doubt that I am the only one with that problem though. I have seen that elsewhere. HY-Plugins had the same issue but fixed it. My guess is this is an APFS problem. But I could be wrong, of course.

Hey Luca, thanks for the plugin update! Did not expect that after you refunded the purchase. Kudos!

So there´s a tempting goodhertz-sale at the moment, given that they rarely exceed 25% discount, the current 31% look pretty good. Are there any resellers though that go below goodhertz´ own shop´s prices?

Oh and by the way, not that I´d want to point at any particular virtual storefront, but I´d genuinely like to know why one might possibly buy such licenses at a reseller whose prices are higher than the manufacturer´s online shop prices?

[JerGoertz]

Does this come with the raw samples, or are they all encapsulated in the plugin?

There are separate samples installer. It installs a ".db" files, which is actually a .zip archives with .wav samples (44.1/24b) inside, so you can unpack them if you don't like the plugin.

Okay, thanks!

I’ve never seen them sold through any third parties, but if you make a YouTube video featuring one of their products, they’ll send you a 50% coupon.

For no real good reason, I headed to IK to check out current deals, and stumbled on to Total Studio Max 2 listings in the store. Haven't seen a thing about the launch of this, but man it's looks outstanding.

Apparently you cannot combine Upgrade Discount with Jam Points though...What a silly idea?!?!?! I have $62 Jam Points and I cannot figure out something worth spending them on.

8Dio has been doing weekly sales for some time now. Every Tuesday, they publish a track and put the libraries that were used on that track on sale. This week, there are some of their best libraries on sale, including 50% off on Majestica and Lacrimosa. More info at:

https://8dio.com/2018/03/05/tech-track-tuesday/

Well, shoot. I need another orchestra like I need a hole in the head. But I have always liked the sound of Majestica - at least the sample run-throughs. And, if I subscribed to their email, I can get it for $268.20. That is like 55% off. Has it ever gotten lower? I want to say I have seen it for 50% off previously.

The goodhertz sale indeed is pretty tempting, infact, I bought another 5 plugins @ 51.4 % off
Now I just have 3 of the most expensive to get with a video discount.

Remember, they don't do sales very often and I suspect the 31.4 % discount is fairly
high for them. So if you're after them, the pressure is mounting with 18 hours to go

Just ordered the upgrade from Max 1. It was 199 then I used 60 Jam Points making it 140. I'm happy, although it would of been cheaper if I waited and didn't buy 1 not that long ago.

Interesting as I swear it said you cannot combine...

to bad WOW is so expensive

[mgw38]

The number if Jam Points I have is exactly the max number of Jam Points I am allowed to use for the upgrade. Somthing is trying to tell me something...

[pekbro]

Yeah, unfortunately, these guys are smarter than the average bear developer.
You really have to maximize your discounts, if you want to save the most money.

IIRC, I used 2 referral rewards, a 15% bundle and a 25% sale discount when I bought
the wow control. Fortunately, the discounts stack. Although, you really have to bite the bullet
and spend to save a healthy amount over at Ghz...

Still well worth it, IMHO

[dusted william]

Well maybe...

Anyone else get Eclipse from VSTBuzz and be able to register through Native Access? I have the product downloaded but cannot find in any E-mails the serial to activate the library.
