What are the best deals today. I bit on arturia's fx crossgrade offer just to get the M12 filter and the Granular toy, everything else is a bonus.

Other than some stupidly overpriced hardware which wasn't really on a Black Friday sale, that's it. Surely there's something really hot? NI, ugh, yeah, there's a few things in Komplete 14 standard, but not Guitar Rig 7, I'll wait for 15. Arturia's synth collection, I'm still on 6, I haven't seen anything in the last three updates that excite me.

Watcha got?
I’m sort of in the same boat. I may pick up a Neural DSP plugin… not sure what one, but I’m already talking myself out of that because I’ve got Amplitube and Tonex Max. I was hoping Strymon stuff went on sale, but no dice. I also want to pick up a couple of Synthesizer V voices and the editor, but also no sale. Maybe Graindad? Not feeling super excited about it… or really much of anything.

I guess it happens when you have as much amazing stuff as I do, including hardware. Even the 3rd Wave, which I’ve had a crush on since it was released, just seems like another somewhat different flavor of a bunch of different things I already have.

What I really need to do is the very unsexy room treatment, which I didn’t bother doing when I moved because it’s a townhouse and I can’t really play very loud most days anyway. But now I’m doing voiceover work and I’ve been running a mic into a closet, which is awkward and generally a pain in the ass.

I have, well, I bought it from whole foods, so, they have a delicious cranberry-orange sauce that would go great with that.

Yeah, and the batteries arent good for you either.

For some time now I've had the feeling that the whole year is Black Friday :hihi: Many developers seem to have realized that it's better to sell more for less money than less for a lot of money...

However... NI has also reduced libraries to 50%. e.g. 50€ for Acoustic Guitars Strummed... Yes and the updates to the latest Kontakt are also cheap (although most people probably only need the Kontakt Player and that's free anyway)

so far so good for me, nothing at all.

Which is really strange because I had been overindulging in BF sales for a few years now.

I believe I might know of someone who would disagree with that assessment, and (afaik) has so far been rather adept at avoiding would-be munchers.

Well, not sure it was black friday, really, but I picked up the Hainbach wire recorder and took the Dawesome Love thing as a prize anyway. Nothing else was worth having on the list.

Amazon definitely had some hot SSD action going though.

In the end, I got some things on sale but I think that the only things that were actually black friday was the cheap UAD bundle, the Artuira FX, and some cheap FX bundles for my Zen Go. Weird year, I spent more at REI than I did on music software.

Have you made a sample set yet? I have a collection of works based off of water appliances. They are too long, as they should be.

Sol far all I got was that $49 UAD package, the 19 Instacomposer (worthless), and a package of classic synth sampler instruments for the MPC.

Torn on Sononym, I'm upgrading Live to 12 for sure, it's possible Live's bowser will be enough, but at $49 I'm biting. Considering getting the Air Minimoog and OPx-4 for the MPC. Sort of pricey for what they are, but the touch screen controls of them make up for it.

Do you have a link? They're so overpriced, but if they're cheap enough on sale I might pick them up for my Force.

Sure, but you should have received an email from them giving you another $10 off?
Try this, it should say $39.99 for Mini D, otherwise it's $49.99.
