Agonised over Icarus which at one point was at ~£68 on Reverb.com. Will just have to make more use of Serum!

V Collection 6. I could get it at EUR199, but I really have too much synths as it is.

Form & Razor. As great as they both are, they require Reaktor to run and - like all NI plugins - don't work in S1 in high-DPI.

FabFilter's bundles. I was really very close to getting one of them, but there's no perfect bundle for me - it either has too much or too few things. So I only got Saturn :)

VSL Synchron Power Drums. Concept is three drummers at once. They're not huge kits, but...
I have plenty of drums. But the Synchron project uses a mixer in the interface, sorting out all this mic placement in a great design, and if you want 3 drummers going at once this will give you the mix. And the introductory pricing is pretty good. But still, I can resist.

Resisted the Softube Tape despite the enticements and hype

The Essential upgrade to Editor (the version I definitely want because of polyphonic pitch editing) is still too expensive at a little more than 200 Singapore dollars, so I may have to wait till another potential mid-next-year's big sale.
Yeah me too - but I always thought the path to Melodyne Studio is made up of several steps made manageable by sales.

That is pretty much as cheap as it gets, depending on exchange rates.
I paid a similar price 5 years ago during a sale.
Celemony dont do crazy random low upgrade prices

  • Free Soundspot Ravage Lite (I don't want anymore useless effect plugins clogging up my inventory, and I have failed to sell Soundspot plugins second hand)
I grabbed Ravage Lite for free but have no plans to download that garbage. It does give me a vote/rewards at PB though.
While I could just grab it for free and get 20 British pence less for a future Melodyne upgrade, I felt that it’s not worth my time to rate.

Thanks for your reply guys. Seems that it was cheaper because I actually saved up the Plugin Boutique virtual cash from previous purchases over the past year, and made sure it’s only for Melodyne... I could just upgrade slowly and gradually and not raise a red flag much on my spending.

If I’m lucky enough within 6 months time (or until the next Black Friday sale), the upgrade to Editor from Assistant would be a little more cheaper (without considering virtual cash deductions, perhaps at a special price lower than $99 USD) than if I were to splurge on the Editor upgrade straightaway.

However, I wouldn’t hold my breath for such cheaper upgrades in the future.

Soundtoys bundle
Everything from Heavyocity
Soothe (although 33% off isn't super tempting to begin with)
Precedence + Breeze (I've also resisted demoing them)

Me too!

Who are Heavyocity? :clown:

Actually, I did not see anything really tempting this BF. I picked up couple of things because they were literally dirt cheap (Loom, Sonovox Brass & Woodwinds). Also picked up Soundtoys Crystallizer - only plugin I have really wanted from them. And that's it.

Only tempting deal I can think of was Soundtoys upgrade to full bundle for 50$. Didn't go for it though.

Was somewhat disappointed with Eventide sale, probably would have picked up UltraVerb, H3000 Band Delays or H3000 Factory if they would have been 29$.
No signature here!

I actually mentioned before in the first page that I was considering Heavyocity Scoring Guitars 1 AND 2 (2 for the normal price of 1), but then decided against it.
