The Fuse Audio Sale has not started yet though?
Adding a plugin to cart doesn't make it 14.90?!

I highly doubt that information is true anyway. They’re not going to piss off loyal customers by devaluing ALL of their plugins like that, especially not newer releases. Hopefully…

Why you think it would p**s off previous customers. I remember FAL doing sales a couple of times per year. Whether it be an intro sale or a 30-50% off for selected products. And some products are "more expensive" during this BF-sale than in "normal" sales (like the Dozer-Drive was a couple of times 50% off already). Anyway, I gonna buy the TCS-68 Cassette Tape Channel

First of all, it devalues almost all of the existing plugins to a point where they have next to no resell value.

Secondly, I believe no discount or sale should be better than intro pricing, unless a couple of years have passed. I paid double for REV305 at 50% intro price. It was released like 3 months ago, and now it's inexplicably like 80% off.

I can't speak for others, but something like this will have me looking twice at every new release from now on, going „it's gonna be cheaper at BF anyway“ instead of more or less blindly buying it to support a great dev.

Happy for people who can now buy a bunch of great plugins for dirt cheap, but they've in turn basically lost me as a customer, and I can't imagine I'm alone in this.

How much are their individual plugins usually? I’m all over this

Thanks @Yadrichik_chaya
I plumped for the vcs-1 and spring reverb so far. May go back for more

You don’t stock upgrades to FabFilter Saturn 2 do you?

We carry it but I don't see it put on sale on their dealer page:

The VREV305 is just excellent and not really your typical Spring Reverb. Would love to try out the hardware version one day.

Are you able to carry the Gospel Musicians sale?

Sorry, they haven't made it available to us.

Also, PB has 40% off three of the TAL synths (as TAL website does) - can you match those discounts?

Thanks for telling me! I'm checking. I'm buying J-8 for myself if we get those prices.

Thanks Eric.

It’s further discounted for BF on their own site for but there’s some currency conversion weirdness for me, so I was interested to see what price you had.

Anyone want a code for free SubLab? lmk

EDIT: gone!

I own MPS 4 from iZotope. My "loyality offer" for MPS 5 is $249, the same as for everyone.

It's even worse if you own various combos of MPS, Komplete and PA offerings because none of their deals are inviting.

Me too. I own 80% of Native Instruments and PA.

Yes this is really a hard pill to swallow. I have MPS 4.1 and Komplete 13 CE, and get no addition breaks on 5.0 or 14 CE. Same price as for everyone.

One would think.....

Greedy companies only notice that their customer base is pissed off when it's too late.

Is something wrong with JRR's email servers?

I was trying to make a purchase and wasn't getting the password reset emails. I got impatient and made a new account to order, but I still haven't gotten any kind of order confirmation email.

Gmail blocks us. I'll PM you, we can sort it out.

Do Image Line plugins now run in any DAW or do they require FL?

I was just told that the versions we sell are VST and work in any DAW.

[Uncle E]

F.eks. MPS updates, they are already thin and vague, not much in it, throwing in loots of low-end PA stuff an-mass that you already got insteadt, without reasonable proportional price-reduction, turns me of

Skip versions. iZotope charges more when upgrading from older versions but that's still less than paying for separate upgrades annually.

I skip versions all the time, even with my DAW. When is the last time an annual update totally blew you away? A lot of the most successful musicians, producers, and engineers use old software on old computers.

Cheers! That’s me out then. I’m on an AU only diet with Logic
