How does DDMF do sales? Will there be a sale on new year? Is that the best time to pick something from them?

I've been wondering the same thing, I think someone mentioned that they do. I've been using PluginDoctor on a few occasions in demo mode for a while now, i should probably upgrade it.

It's on (copied from their ddmf.eu homepage seconds ago):

26th of December, 2018: Christmas is behind us, which means it’s almost time now for the annual DDMF End-of-the-Year sale! This year, you’ll have four days to shop ’til you drop, with an insane 40 percent reduction off everything, including all bundles. Just thinking about the price per plugin in a Full Bundle reduced by 40 percent brings tears to my eyes, but, alas, those are the rules, customer’s king here at DDMF headquarters. So if you’re looking to stock up on some of the finest audio software before the dawn of 2019, this is your chance!

But the prices look to be the same as normal.

MeldaProduction MPower Synth 50% off. I went to my account and noticed that I also had a coupon there for 20 EUR. Happy days. Synth cost 80 EUR. Regular price: €199

If it was really the email from Zero-G, then I make amends and apologize

So your "apology" begins with a questioning of the honesty of those who posted the email text?

That was the email. No doubt.

You unnecessarily went off on people and this is the best you got?

I dont know if it was 'unnecessarily' as there is an angle to what he argued, its just that there are many other angles to it and the whole issue was actually surrounding the moral dilemma of getting free sample libraries based on what felt like, to some, a loophole with the voucher use -and to others just normal use of a promotion.

Turns out the voucher info wasn't confusing but its use may still have been outside of what Zero G had anticipated and promoted. That doesnt make me or others criminals for having used it one way or another.

I understood the frustration that someone might feel toward 'greedily' downloading 50 odd free items (not that I feel the same way but I understand someone who'd see it that way). I definitely disagreed with the other person who claimed it was "digital stealing". No need to go hard on someone who had a point of contention about the merits of a bargain. We're sharing bargain info but also there is a sense of shared responsibility and it shouldn't be such a big deal if there's a disagreement about bargains. Thanks to those who have shared and continue to share great and legit bargains!

Was there a huge discount offer for the online Computer Music Magazine.
My subscription ended about six months ago.

Zinio recently had a special, 40% on off subscriptions.
£15.84 for 13 Issues, incl VAT.

That's $20 or $1.53 per issue.
Too bad I missed that sale.

Anyone use pocketmag for Computer Music subscription? They have a sale for $18.99 annual, but I am not sure if downloads of free software is included. Can someone confirm?

TIA

Thanks for mentioning this I'd been looking for a good deal on CM Sub

It was the level of harshness that was unnecessary. One could have said: "I'm not sure doing that is a good idea. What were the stated conditions on the voucher?" instead of going straight to calling people digital thieves, connecting this to robbing a bank, and railing against them as using the same basis as modern day pirates.

I didn't buy a single pack with the voucher, but I did recall the email prominently telling people to use the voucher as often as they want.

[Fleer]

True, he did call people thieves without corroboration. Now he apologized. All is well.

It’s still christmas time

I forgot to use my $20 coupon when I purchased MTurbodelay.
So now I am obligated to buy at least one more Melda plugin.
