Pretty sure that one was a mistake and wasn't supposed to stack in the way it did and they cancelled it.

There was a 50% coupon that was already cancelled too.

Did any of you guys get that Soundwide Intro Bundle deal? $49 is pretty good, but I already have Massive and Trash 2. I'm not sure how much I'd really use the Elements versions of the Izotope products, but I am interested because of the VocalSynth2, two reverbs (Nimbus and R4) and the bx_Console N, bx_Delay 2500, and other bx products it has.

I did get it (in combination with a few other products and a discount voucher), even though I've got the majority of the things in it already - already had VocalSynth, Trash, the full versions of the Elements stuff, Nimbus, both the Native Instruments plugins, and bx_subsynth too. I figured R4 and the remaining four Brainworx plugins would likely be worth the ~$30 I spent, and I'll probably gift my duplicate licenses for some of the other things. I haven't actually used any of 'em yet though so I can't give you any real advice!

FYI, in email at least, Plugin Alliance said the $49.99 deal had been extended to July 4. Website still says today, though, so...

It's definitely a worthwhile bundle, though. Nothing in there is bad, even if some is rather old. Even the iZotope Elements stuff are perfectly good tools, just more limited compared to the Big Boys.

It's also a good thing to bulk up a Plugin Alliance order now that the monthly $25 voucher has a $75 minimum purchase. For instance, right now you could get the bundle plus their new bx_limiter True Peak (which is getting pretty rave reviews) for a total of $55.98 by using the voucher codes SUMMER22-TRUEP and 2022-06-255Q74WBNP9N - so it's like getting bx_limiter True Peak for $6.

I was thinking about the bundle initially, but I only wanted VocalSynth 2 and R4 since I had everything else (except most of the included PA stuff that I am not interested in anyway), so I bought unused serials of them recently from forums sellers and paid only about $17 for both (R4 is awesome and I am liking it a bit better than NIMBUS).

You could go this route, or since you want more items from the bundle, better buy the bundle and then resell the ones you don't want. I think all the included products have separate serials, except maybe the Elements suite. It will be a win-win since there are people who might just want one or two items and would be looking around, just like me.

But for someone who doesn't own anything or only one or two items, this is probably the best bundle deal ever. Amazing value!

Is it easy to transfer a license with Native Instruments plugins and is there a fee?

[Ceej]

If you buy the bundle anywhere except on Native Instruments' own site, you'll get un-registered license codes. You can do whatever you want with those without needing to involve NI at all.

[Examigan]

Sounds good, thanks.

60% off Reason Studios Reason 12 Upgrade, now $79 instead of $199. Does it worth it from Reason Studio 11 Suite? All previous Rack Extensions included in the 11 Suite will be available in Reason Studios 12? (Reason is not my main DAW anymore, but I still enjoy it's "playful" vibe.)

[Caine123]

is there any way to get Plugin Alliance SCULPT cheap ?
sadly my personal voucher cannot be stacked and it is with taxes still around 40 bucks :/

You won’t lose any RE’s you already owned from 11 Suite. I’d say it’s worth it for the hi-res graphics and the new sampler.

I don't think you can get it any cheaper than $30.99 by itself. You can stack it with a couple other things on sale and use the monthly $25off$75 voucher to get a bigger percentage savings overall though. For instance, you could get Sculpt, the Vertigo VSM-3, and the ACME Opticom XLA-3 for a grand total of $51 (plus tax, I guess) by using vouchers SUMMER22-SCULPT, SUMMER22-VSM, SUMMER22-ACME, and 2022-06-255Q74WBNP9N. VSM-3 is supposed to be quite good. Dunno about the XLA-3, but you could replace that with the bx_console Focusrite SC and the voucher SUMMER22-FOCUS for $56+tax. Or if you already own bx_masterdesk, replace XLA-3 with the upgrade to bx_masterdesk True Peak. Or wait until tomorrow and see what two new deals you could pair up with.

There is no license transfer fee for any (native) NI products.
