Any idea if Steinberg does Black Friday/November sales? They have been quiet after the End of Summer Sale, which ended almost 2 months ago.

GA5?? - it'll be 50% off - just wait

How often are Steinberg sales expected? I was a little pissed when they ran their last 50% off sale shortly after I purchased my upgrade during their 40% off sale.

For the NI Komplete holiday update sales. It looks like my upgrade for Komplete Ultimate is $269. If my math is right that’s 33% off the normal $399. Were the past 50 percent off sales on updates typically at the end of the year or in the Summer?

yes that is quite remarkable, or their upgrade prices are going up, or it does not fall under black friday, they had 50% sales indeed, if i remember correctly.
i don't follow it that much anymore, or don't remember it that well, with ultimate 11 + komplete 13, i am comfortable..

indeed there was a sale this summer, 50%, a bit strange. on the komplete updates/upgrades.

Thanks for the answers from everyone. It looks like I’ll wait. I have Komplete Ultimate 11 now with some other individuals. The Arturia V8 deal I got for $199, looks like the better money spent right now.

But usually their sales are not overlapping, so the 40% off sale probably had different products on offer (Studio Weeks - Cubase, Nuendo, etc?). I remember that the 50% off sale was on instruments and expansions, which I still regret missing by a couple of days because I did not realise how badly I want Groove Agent 5. Can't justify paying the full price, so must wait for a sale.

The Melodyne Sale at https://everyplugin.com/celemony.html is better than they advertise (50%), and better than at any other place I've seen so far. The real discounted price for Melodyne Essential is $41.15 (rather than $49 like everywhere else), and upgrades are $83.14 from Essential to Assistant, $83.17 from Assistant to Editor, and $167.13 from Editor to Studio. I bought the Essential first and then upgraded to Assistant for a total of $124.29.

Anyone tried BlueLab audio plugins? They are now free - don't work on the latest version of Macs but I was wondering if others had used them

If anyone is after a referral code for Fabfilter, PM me an e-mail address and I can organise your 10% discount on your next order, which should work well with the forthcoming winter sale.

Edit: Should point out that this only works for people that currently don't own anything from Fabfilter and haven't previously received a referrral code.

I had the same reaction. I emailed them to ask if the bundle upgrade price should be different. I'll post their reply, if they don't respond here first.

It appears that XLN Audio's XO and RC-20 are at their lowest price ever. JRR Shop has the lowest I've found, but if you're considering both, Best Service has a list of freebies you can choose from for orders over $99 - https://www.bestservice.com/deals/get_a ... _3642.html

XLN Audio XO is $53 in cart at Jrrshop with Group coupon.. thats a pretty great bargain. The bargain hunter in me wants to own it at that price but I already bought Atlas 2

For me it's exactly the other way round.
Atlas implemented some (sequencer) stuff I was missing from Xo. Never used it much, will get atlas now,since it seems Xo development has stalled.
