Im hoping to retire from the buying hobby after black friday and xmas sales but there's a voice in me that just bursts into sad laughs when I try to say it with conviction

Man, that's exactly what I have planned to do, but your words are haunting me now.
Let's join hands and make it possible.

I bought everything I needed last year. No need to buy anything else for a long time. Yeah.

Didn't work. Lots of cool new stuff. Great sales on old stuff I don't have. The only way possible is to stay away from all forums. Delete all email. Of course then you are stuck without help when something isn't working.

Indeed, forums and emails are the biggest distractions as far as GAS is concerned. Of course, they are equally helpful at the same time.

KVR are really missing a trick by not having this here.

If I remember correctly, there was a sticky dedicated here for last Black Friday, isn't it? Good idea to have it here. I don't know if anyone can start that.

Is there a way to be away from KVR for a fixed amount of time?

yes there is

Will check it out, thanks. But I am seeing "pricing" tab, so need to spend to avoid distractions. What an age we are living in! Self-control was never this hard.

perhaps they'll do a Black Friday sale, keep checking back - It has been good for me - eg block all news sites between 7am and 6pm, block social media except for Messenger (which is what the family use for quick stuff like reminders )

Yeah, they are doing BF sale. It's cheap enough actually, as the price is set according to my country and currency. I will have a brief understanding of how it works. Good to know that it is working well for you.

U-he has Zebra 2.9 Beta 30% off. As well as black friday -30% coupon for existing customers... So... it reminds me of theory of people sliding between parallel universes.

I may be wrong and don't know as I already owned Zebra 2, but someone said they don't stack so you can't get Zebra 2 for 30% off 30% off. What is good though is the news that Dark Zebra owners will get Zebra 3 at release.

Edit: Sorry, I see this was covered.

So the coupon is good for the purchase of Dark Zebra, correct? If so, do people here think this is a worthwhile addition to an already great synth? Seems like a good deal for the money at ~$73 - 400 presets, new skin and a new version of the synth itself.

[freimann]

Yes - I have just used my coupon to purchase the Dark Zebra ...

Just used mine for the MFM2 delay ,.. a bit overlooked

Something as rare as a unique delay IMHO

No, no....no....uh, no...

No cold turkey until the day after Thanksgiving. And that cold turkey will come from the fridge.

But really, I probably should use that.

Do you mean that software or the actual Cold Turkey app, which does the same thing for a fraction of the price?

There are browser plugins that will block sites to a schedule, available for free. One example (not an endorsement):

I am looking at the Function Loops premium bundles. At 60% off they are the lowest they have ever been. Any experiences? Are they any good?

Can someone with Reason Lite confirm the Upgrade price to intro please.
I can buy Intro as a new customer for £69 but as Lite is cheap to buy, I'm wondering what the saving there is in upgrading from that, if any.
