That's fine. Means some toerag on here pinched it already and didn't bother posting to let us know.

Sorry about that. I needed it to scrub the fungus off my feet (the right big toe, especially).

[VariKusBrainZ]

ok, sorry Pulsar.
was just about to buy both of them.
no sale, that's lame

FWIW, Pulsar Audio is now being distributed by a different company. This is the new distributor’s rule. On a positive, the new distributor is responsible for the low prices of the current sale and Pulsar Audio never discounted this much when they were distributing themselves. Even without the extra discounts, I think these are the lowest prices ever for Mu and Echorec.

Yep, they havent been lower

Unless it's bundled with Diva itself $1.34 per patch seems a tad pricey

It’s $29 for 120 patches, so $.24 per patch.

Revisionist history. The original link we were discussing said $160. You're worse than Stalin.

Equal, maybe, but not worse!

The only codes Stalin handled were penal codes. (No dick jokes please!).

UAD would normally fall under the luxury goods area - you pay more for better quality. But their plugins may be Giffen goods. Though I'm thinking they are still well made. Just over-priced for the market. And their value is affected by companies like Waves, who used to have similar prices but realize that their 15+ year old plugins have long since paid for themselves.

Apple used to be luxury goods, but they are becoming more of a Giffen good. At least going by my husband's iPhones compared to my Samsungs.

Yes, agreed on all points. The gap between UAD and native plugins was very wide 10 years ago, now I routinely choose native plugins over UAD. They sometimes still release exceptional stuff, maybe 1 out of 5 these days.

Apple is so weird. The iMac, 13” MacBook Pro, and iPhone SE are great values, everything else is drastically, drastically overpriced.

Mini also

Is it worth buying the Samplitude Pro 5 Suite for $249? I'm really mostly thinking about it for Spectral layers 6/7. I don't really need it as a DAW, though it is supposed to be good for mastering. Supposedly the sale ends on Monday. I really should have picked it up a few weeks ago as Pro 4 with the free upgrade to 5 at $199. But I missed the emails.

It doesn't seem like people really use it. Or if they do, they don't really talk about it.

Samplitube was the first actual DAW I used years back. I was quite young and I didn't know anything about DAW's, recording or whatever but what I remember was that it was really unstable and not fun to use. Its probably a lot better now but I never see anyone using it. If you are only interested in Spectrallayers, I believe Steinberg took it over but I'm not sure what the price is. Isn't RX7 similar btw?

Where can you buy it for that price or is that just an Upgrade?
