Damn, I guess Nolly is that popular, huh
Can you stack the 20% loyalty discount on top of the 50%? Anyone knows?

Bit of a spit in the eye for anyone who recently bought the new Finisher Voodoo FX or the Finisher bundle, only released a month ago. The bundle's down from $139 to $70 and Voodoo down to $50.

At Plugin Boutique they also have 69% off Virtual Bassist Mellow 2 (acoustic double bass), $39:

I was shopping around for the best price on a couple sonnox plugins and Audiodeluxe has this thing where you make an offer and they accept it or make a counter offer. Lowest I managed to find was JRR @ $177. My offer was $150.

So this morning they come with a counter-offer email of *$2500*? lol. I'd put it down to error, like they thought I was asking for the full bundle but they've done something like that to me before with a single plug. I also entered pretty clearly what I was making an offer on.

So that's it for me with them. Reputable dealer, yes, for sure; but that's unprofessional behavior right there & a waste of my time plus insulting. Why bother ask for an offer if you're going to do that?

idk maybe I'm being what they call a Karen even posting this, what is it to any of you really but just wondering am I doing it wrong or what lol. Bought a lot from that site over a few years so it's bit of a slap in the face.

well. it sounds like JRR is a good price then. you would buy it from them.

[nusound mind]

Yeah if I do that's where it'll be from.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around it, like was it some automated default reply? or is there someone at Audiodeluxe going 'F... you pal, you wan't a counter offer? oh I'll give you a counter offer alright..' I shouldn't take it personal I guess, it's funny really.

-'Yeah hi can i get a burger and fries'
-'ok sure,' *beep beep beep* 'that'll be seven hundred dollars, did you want ketchup with that?'

received my fxpansion strobe 2 physical copy today, from Musicians Friend. ordered 10 days ago.
As expected and described by Uncle E, it came in a DVD case with no DVD, and a card inside with a serial, and some URLs for demo download / authorization instruction. Odd lengths GC/MF went to to sell software physically, but whatever...

strange system they got for authorizing the code you receive on a physical card after 10 days of fulfillment… go to the site, download the demo, then run the authorizer from the demo which kicks you to the website, create account, enter serial from card… once registered you will learn that that demo you downloaded is 3 years old, here -- download this newer demo installer instead, then authorize..

No wonder GC is sitting on so many of these and needs to blow them out at 89% discount. They're still for sale and in stock and it is surprisingly Catalina compatible (last update was in June)

Just finished installing the free third party NKS from the NKS User Library on the NI forum. Shows up fine in Komplete Kontrol VST, after some user lib folder creation.
Worth the $21.40, after tax, all told.

Don't need more (similar) synths.

What???
I hope you are kidding!
Oh, my head hurts.

Haha, but what I said doesn't mean I will not buy synths anymore. Hope this brings you back to normal.

Thanks, I feel much better now!

I want to do due diligence here b/c what's fair is fair; they replied giving me a dif. price and signing in on Audiodeluxe I saw that the actual price was subtracted *from* $2500 for some reason, so it's good chance i jumped the gun and misread it though i swear i saw it as $2500 initially.

The price now, as it stands, much more reasonable. So it's honestly likely it was a misread on my part, therefore if so- I hereby rescind and retract my former whining and also apologize to Audiodeluxe for any unwarranted bad press caused my the aforementioned.

Hope that covers it. Good day to all.

My copy of strobe 2 never arrived, the tracking still says that ups transferred to usps on June 10 and usps tracking says it is still awaiting it from ups. Musicians friend canceled my order, I’m just waiting for my points to go back on my account so it’s $5 again.

No. I would love that to be real but it is not possible.

I had exactly the same situation on a similar small order from MF a couple months ago - tracking showed UPS giving it to USPS, then nothing for weeks. I eventually put in a "missing package" inquiry at usps.com, and 6 days later I got an email from them saying that according to their tracking they never received it from UPS. Buuuuut... that same day the package arrived in the mail. It was a solid month after I'd placed the order.

So who knows, maybe you'll get lucky!

"UPS Mail Innovations"....

[simmo75]

So iZotope's Stutter Edit 2 is out, $79 upgrade.

That's so expensive. I paid $25 for it! LOL. It's a great plugin, I wonder what the upgrades are, it'll probably worth it to upgrade once the price comes down.

Yes, as the other post said, “mail innovations.” It’s ok, definitely a lot bigger things to worry about. But it is a great deal, so I’ll get it one way or another so I can use my roli lightpad block with it. If it does eventually show up then I’ll see what MF wants me to do with it, but I’m going to order another once the points go back on. I am pretty sure it will show up out of the blue someday.

I guess with free shipping options on something this small, it goes last in any queue. It is funny though that it’s just a code in a package- they probably would save more by just opening them and emailing you the code.
