Bunker Samples turns 4, so I'm running a sale: 35% off everything (even already discounted bundles) with code "bunkerbirthday" until the end of February.
Here's the backstory for those interested:
This month, 4 years ago, I was sitting on a beach in Vietnam (somewhat against my own wish actually), and getting ready to push "publish" and unleash Bunker Strings Vol. 1 on the world. It had taken much, much longer than I ever imagined to make my first sample library, and apart from a few pre-orders, I had no idea if it would sell anything at all. I had also grossly underestimated how much time it takes to build up infrastructure around a sample business, building a website, a payment and delivery system, pictures, marketing...all that stuff. I was living in Hanoi at the time (still do, most of the year) and I had hoped to get my first product launched before Lunar New Year, which is a BIG THING in Vietnam. My girlfriend had booked a beach holiday in the beautiful ancient town of Hoi An, but as departure day approached, I was still no where ready to launch, but I was desperate to finish what had been 9 months of hard work, and enjoy my holiday, so...I wanted to stay in Hanoi and finish, but my girlfriend said "bring your laptop and work" and so I did. The first day on the beach was spent frantically working, when finally, late at night I pushed launch, leaned back, opened a beer and waited for the sales to roll in. And waited and waited...nothing! I think I had one sale the first day, then nothing at all for the next couple of days. It was a gut punch. That's when I learned that it's not enough to create a thing, if you want to sell it, you have to shout about it to the world. Well, thankfully as I got more involved in the forums and the chatter picked up, the sales started coming. And the rest, as they say, is history. Still here 4 years later, and that I think, is worth celebrating!
And yes, to those who wonder, Bunker Strings was recorded in a bunker in Denmark, Copenhagen. It's a complicated story...
P.S. Incidentally it was on that trip to Hoi An that I bought my first Vietnamese gong. And then I kept buying them and eventually made the free Gongster's Paradise library - which reminds me, it's sister library Gongster Loops still comes free with any purchase!

For no reason at all I just now logged in on my Avid Pro Tools trial (that we got from Focusrite)
I went through all those Pro Tools Inner Circle free plugins etc. and to my surprise they've added:
Rob Papen's Predator-3 PL!

Hi, thanks for sharing.serge wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 12:35 pm Image-Line is offering two insane UVI synths & effects bundle deals for those who already own FL Studio. If you purchase, you get one bundle serial.
However, since it’s a bundle license and all are VST (instruments run in free UVI Workstation VST or Falcon if you have it) and will operate in other DAWs.
And .. after purchase i got a $20/€20 voucher, with no minimum requirements, to use in UVI.net shop. Don’t know if this is for both bundles, I grabbed the power bundle and got it.
Does this show as a single bundle in your ilok account?
Did they say whether it's an NFR license?

It appears you don't have to own FL to get this deal. I got this promo in email (and successfully added it to my cart - but haven't checked out yet) and the only Image Line Product I own is Drumaxx.serge wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 12:35 pm Image-Line is offering two insane UVI synths & effects bundle deals for those who already own FL Studio. If you purchase, you get one bundle serial. This is about 90% discount and exceeds any prior UVI promotions I’ve seen. To purchase, must either own or purchase FL Studio.

In iLok, shows up as a "Locked Group" bundle (my other UVI licenses are individual). Image-Line didn't indicate NFR, I've tried deactivating and "transfer" is a clickable option.agharta wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 3:30 pmHi, thanks for sharing.serge wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 12:35 pm Image-Line is offering two insane UVI synths & effects bundle deals for those who already own FL Studio.

Bad luck for anyone who happened to splash out on UVI's most expensive software in VV4! Both being locked serials in iLok means having to pass on such a great deal :(agharta wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 3:30 pmHi, thanks for sharing.serge wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 12:35 pm Image-Line is offering two insane UVI synths & effects bundle deals for those who already own FL Studio.

The Essentials bundle is cool. Worth it just to get Shade, Sparkverb, and Drum Designer.

I'm kicking myself already for not getting the bundles*. If I didn't have Augmented Orchestra already I would grab these in a heartbeat. Instead it may be two heartbeats.
EDIT I know they are still available. I'm just joking.

I am sure you know that you can resell your individual Augmented Orchestra license and grab the UVI Power Bundle.Hewitt Huntwork wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 6:43 pm I'm kicking myself already for not getting the bundles*.

Very temping bundles indeed by the way.

Not kidding, as I'm actually not getting it for that reason. But certainly... more like 'tongue in cheek', not literally having a moan about it, haha. Just saying, 5 duplicates that can't be resold is a bummer. Alright for you though as you've just sold your VV haven't you?simmo75 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 6:23 pmObviously you’re joking.
