Arturia V-Collection 8 available for $49.99

That's why if I am offering something gratis I don't throw it out to the huddled masses yearning for the free. It just gets sucked up into a silent void more often than not.

If I do it in private, I'd never know whether key is really used (which I prefer) or possibly resold (which I absolutely do not prefer).

Yeah, it is not ideal but what would be the better way to give keys away?

This is why I post anything like this on the forum as well. It will for sure be used.

Is that a legit site? Never seen the V Collection that cheap even if an earlier version.

Legit. I got my pigments from them.

It's the previous generation of V Collection (not 9) and the upgrade price will be a lot more than $49.99

There is no right answer, but I would think if you float them out there to the first taker, who can (and typically will) remain silent, they are much more likely to be resold than any other means of distribution. At least if you do it privately, you're going to get a thanks and warm feeling of gratitude. [EDIT: I get it, you're saying it forces them to be used, because they must be registered by first taker, rather than someone reselling the code.]

The best way I've ever seen here was a couple of years ago when agharta offered a substantial block of them (as a birthday present to self, if I recall correctly) and then took the time to match up people's interest with plugins. I got Exponential R2 that way and I haven't forgotten. Happy birthday agharta, must be coming up soon.

They're legit. I ordered. Haven't received the license yet, I'll report back when I get it.

it was $99 to upgrade from 8 for me a short while back (sorry meant 6)

When did all the big Arturia sound improvements happen? I thought that was before V Collection 8, in which upgrading to 9 shouldn't be that big of a deal, no?

A hell of a bargain that is.

Yeah, there’s not much in v9 apart I’d miss not having apart maybe from the SQ80.

I see UA missed another loophole -- A pro audio retailer online was selling the upgrade of Ultimate 12 from 11 for 199 dollars. But many people on a different forum thread were saying today they activated it without owning Ultimate 11. Now they own the entire UA library for cheap.

Then after a guy brought it to the UA rep's attention on yet a different forum, UA plugged the hole by raising the upgrade price to 1199 dollars on the retailer's site.

At this point it is just us suckers who don't have a big UA bundle for cheap. That's all that is left.

Ugh heh

And last batch of keys to be redeemed:

United Plugins FireMaster: 0E2EC5BFF15075F680FD (https://unitedplugins.com/user/redeem)

UVI Model D Piano: used (notified with private message, thank you)
UVI Digital Synsations Vol. 1: UVISC30-8EGTVSRM

It somehow made sense (in my head) to break these all down, by company but now I realize I should have just posted a single, larger post.

I apologize for the noise.

Got Firemaster. Thank you very kindly!!!
