Bargain Center: discussion, gossip, etc.

Hey,

I get alot of offers via e-mail from various companies (coupons, deals, etc). I just ignore them. Do you check on newsletter offers? Are there companies that make good offers in particular or is it just a waste of time?

Of course, a "good offer" can vary depending on your needs/wants and how you value things, but I've found Softube has had "good offers" with generic coupon codes. So has Plugin Alliance. But in the end, I was getting inundated with newsletters and bargains and ended up unsubscribing from almost everything.

Yes, I ended up subscribed to newsletters just by purchasing things. Now I am bombarded with spam. I have to figure out how to unsubscribe.

Just to remember this page they recommended with the history of the offers:

https://musicsoftwaredeals.com/

It's good, the best I'd say, but sometimes misses sales on developers' official sites. And there's another one: https://audiobazooka.com

I went to that Audiobazooka site and it's kind of funny how it says:
"We track the prices of 0 plugins from 0 different manufacturers in 106 online stores.".

Could anyone tell me why IK Multimedia Total Studio 4 MAX can be bought at $179 on online shops

https://www.thomannmusic.com/ik_multime ... _4_max.htm

and $199/€199 on the IK Multimedia website...

...but the upgrade from Total Studio 2 MAX that I own would cost me 199 Euros too ?

And that is during the current 67% off sale:

https://www.ikmultimedia.com/news/?id=T ... alSale2024

Full product and upgrade price are the same. This doesn't make any sense.
As a Total Studio 2 MAX customer I would expect the upgrade to cost half the full product price or not ? I would expect $99/€99 upgrade price. But that is not the case at all.

IK is as IK does... "but you can use jam points" lol. IDK why they're so stubborn about their ridiculous upgrade policy, they're almost certainly losing money off of it.

IK damage control officer will be with you shortly, to tell you how great of a deal it all is even without any special upgrade offers.

I mean, you are saving 12,397 EUR after all:

Is Elton John's Delay included in that price?

If you sign up for Melda Production's mailing list you'll get a credit you can use towards something ($10 off).
Their Meldway Grand is on sale right now for that same amount.

GAH, I just bought MRotary yesterday.

$7.99 at JRR Blowouts but still, free is free.

No credits for me but I already got 20 credits back in 2018 for newsletter signup so I guess that's why.

In the middle of a house building project... And I see Arturia FX Collection 5 (upgrade from FX-Collection 2) for 99EUR, and Amplitube 5 MAX v2 for 129EUR (incl. EU VAT).
I could live without these for a little while, but I'm torn, when will they reach this price again in the next coming months. Any tips?
