I have a key for one of their plugins but can't seem to redeem it now that they're shutting down.

I'm in the same situation, I've sent them few emails but without response.

PA's Crispy Tuner is $29.99 until today at midnight PT (CRISPY-2999), but I don't see any plugins $10 or less, bummer

Get a cheap transfer in plugin here from someone on KVR and pay $15 total with the $25 voucher

$30 + $20 Transfer = $50 - 20% for 2 = $40 -$25 voucher = $15 (plus what you paid for the plugin on KVR... several at $5 or less.)

This works with EOS2.

Add BX_Tuner and -10$ ADG-EOS2-1999 + monthly 25$ and it's 13.99

Have you guys seen that UVI is doing a spring sale? I'm thinking about Drum Designer or Key Suite Acoustic.

[Dirtgrain]

I love Drum Designer, and the only problem is maybe I use it too often now.

Small vent regarding the izotope flash sale:
Been hustling on this forum to acquire komplete 13 for a good price over the last few months lol. Found K-select first at a good price in the forum. And as an owner of izotope’s production suite 4, I saw that there were some nice loyalty combo deals between them and NI. So I chatted in to Izo support a couple weeks ago, asking if they also offer loyalty discounts on NI komplete upgrades through the limited partnership. At the time I asked, they only offered the full bundle suite (music production suite + Komplete full) and no upgrade deals on NI products.

Fast forward to this week, I found the komplete 13 full (upgrade from select) on the forum at around the typical NI black friday or Summer of Sound price. Snatched it up. Awesome, finally.
Literally THE NEXT DAY I get a st. Patty day promo email from Izotope offering a loyalty purchase of the FULL NI Komplete 13 standalone version (k-select not required) for a significan discount off the retail price the code “LUCKY.” Since I was a production suite owner/loyalty member. In addition to 10% off other items. Patience pays off, I’m now out $100 as a result of buying before this surprise flash sale. Who saw it coming? (Sigh)

Sure I’ve learned a few cool things in checking the forum every day, waiting for a good deal on komplete; learning how to utilize the forum, but posting this deal in case anyone who fits Izotope’s criteria for this offer also is looking for a good deal on komplete and wants to skip all the upgrade madness. Maybe I’m uneducated on how much interaction these companies had which each other over the years, but posting my story in hopes that it will help someone out there understand the highly unpredictable nature of the audio plugin industry lol.

It's certainly bewildering trying to understand the huge number and variety of iZotope deals, and it's twice as hard now with the Komplete stuff in the mix. I've personally more or less given up trying to stay on top of them, and I run a music-software deals group on Facebook so this is kind of my jam. I can't imagine what it must be like for someone coming in new who just wants to get some good software without feeling like they overpaid.

how is Relayer & Thorus? i read a lot these are best of their kinds in the game? seems good deals on them.

[Ceej]

Relayer is fantastic. I think it's fair to say it's the best multi-tap delay on the market, considering functionality, UI, and sound. The current sale price isn't the lowest it's ever been, but it's pretty close.

Thorus is really good; can be thick and creamy, great on synth sounds. There's a lot more variety in just the way chorus plugins can soud so I don't know if any one chorus can be called "best", but Thorus is certainly up there. Again, I believe it's been slightly cheaper in the past, but not by more than a couple bucks that I'm aware of.

Their real champion effect plugin is Shade, but the current sale price isn't fantastic; it was 50% off back in January (first time it got that cheap) so I assume it will be again at some point.

Don't know about Relayer but yes, to me, Thorus is the best chorus in the game.

I'm in the same situation, I've sent them few emails but without response.

Me too, I have a complete order of Accusonus's plugins, which serials were not emailed to me in the latest re-email campaign, and are not acknowledged despite their original emailed confirmation being received at purchase time.

Have already sent two emails, both using their active online contact form and directly to their email. No single notice or response has been received so far...

At the same time I do have other of their plugins being recognized Ok, of which I received confirmation of their serials via email a few weeks ago.

///I do love Accusonus plugins and value very much their unique functions. This acquisition could turn into very bad news for those who realize and need what these may accomplish and have not had the chance to acquire them already.

If you're quick, you could get Tantra 2 and Audio Damage's Eos 2 reverb for a total of $25 from Plugin Alliance with the three vouchers TANTRA2-2999, ADG-EOS2-1999, and 2022-03-25QRL973IZ62X4F. Theoretically the Eos 2 deal ends at midnight Pacific, although I've seen they sometimes run a little bit over.

so no dynamic discounts would apply here?

never mind, the EOS deal is gone and TANTRA is not eligible for dynamic discounts
they're unto us!

I don't feel bad for anybody that's new.

They have it about 100X easier and better than somebody who was new a while back.

Everything can be had for peanuts these days.
