Do they just mean products produced by Best Service?...

[Fleer]

Pretty sure. They usually do when this kind of sale is running.

Any thoughts on Spitfire Phobos and eDNA Earth? I love the concept of eDNA Earth but the sound examples just sound like strings run through effects.

I demoed EDNA Earth fairly extensively last year when it was about the same price as the idea intrigued but I just wasn't convinced so passed. I demoed it again this week and felt the same way but on a whim I purchased it and felt slight remorse before I even registered it.
Just loaded it for the first time and so far I'm impressed. Too many presets but the overall sound and tweak-ability is impressive.
Don't know if it would be regarded a classic in its field but I think it's easily worth the discounted price.
As you also enquired about Albion 1 keep in mind that it also has a large EDNA library and the main orchestral library is sampled at multiple dynamic levels which you asked about.

This scared s*** out of me. I just placed an order on cubase, if it can be used on anything I would lost $30 instantly...

Don't worry, I think the code will not work for Cubase anyway. At least it is not working now.

It says:

This promocode requires at least 1.1185 USD products of participating suppliers in your cart.

That's very helpful! Thanks!

A few questions regarding Cubase offer if someone could please answer:

1. Is there any advantage of getting Cubase Pro full version vs Cubase Pro Competitive Crossgrade? Or any future restrictions?

2. Also, would it be possible to transfer/resell Cubase Pro Competitive Crossgrade in future?

3. If so, can it be sold without the USB e-licensor? I mean in case someone already has it and I want to keep it again for a future possibility of buying Cubase.

Thank you!

need to sell it on the USB eLicenser or need to sell the unactivated eLicenser serial number

Okay, thanks. So basically the Competitive Upgrade can also be resold/transferred, right?

In case you know, is there any downside/limitation of getting Competitive Upgrade compared to the full Pro version? I just to make sure there isn't any catch.

Waves 25% off WUP. Can't remember seeing any discounts on WUP before. Or have I just missed such promos in the past? Maybe now is a good time to update all those collected v9 plugins to v10??

The best way to get WUP is to probably upgrade to a bigger or combo bundle during upgrade/update sales. Of course, will not work for everyone and in all situations.

My case: I was on Gold V9. For just $27, I got the Gold V10 + Ren. Max V 10 bundle upgrade AND 1 year of free WUP as part of upgrade. It was better than a no-brainer deal.

Based on this, you may want to give one more thought before jumping on the WUP. Also, audiodeluxe and some other resellers might offer better price than direct from Waves.

They happen but it's not frequent. I don't think they had one at all last year. The 25% discount is pretty standard.

And it will generally be cheaper through a dealer: you get a code from the Waves WUP page that they use to generate the cost. It'll shave maybe another 10-15% or so on the bigger bundles.

That Sonex thing is interesting. It looks like they increased their pricing to the point where it is still inexpensive but does no longer look weirdly cheap. Either their scam is getting better or they are really trying to release an actual product. (Probably the advanced scam thing...)

[sqigls]

Sonex thing?
