Did you get the full Combo library properly?
I seem to have been sent a code for the 'Original' General Series library, not the Combo, so Im short the advertised 'Extensions' ie what looks to be 20,000/100Gb of samples if you look at the original product page for the Combo.
Probably just a product code mixup, but was wondering if anyone else could confirm they got the advertised full library okay?
Ive already emailed APD support, but I dont know how long turnaround is, thought it would be handy to check here.
Anyone here just bought the 'General Series 6000 Combo' sound effects library from Audio Plugin Deals?

Someone has reported on VI-Control that the text is wrong and that APD and Sound Ideas are saying it's just the Original library. (The price they quote at the bottom is for the core library not the Combo, at least when it's not on sale, though the text and apparently even the APD order page says it's the Combo.)
It might be refund time.

Yup. APD basically forwarded my email on to Sound Ideas, and Ive just had an email from SI saying that it should only be the Original library, and that the APD page 'mislabelled' it as Combo.
They also pointed out that (some of) the APD page text (ie product name) has been edited to correct that in the interim, but a lot of the rest of the page, and the product page link, still refer to the Combo version (and my invoice definitely did)
Ive contacted APD again; if they've changed their page they're obviously aware now that there's a wider mistake than just my purchase.
But Combo's sale price is $898.
Neither match, both are effectively a single-digit typo out.
If you read the APD page, and follow the product page link it gives there, you'd maybe just assume it was a 1-digit typo from the sale price, rather than a similarly 1-digit typo from the full price a different product version that isnt mentioned...
Looks like theyve done more updates to the APD page after I emailed them back. Literally up until a few seconds ago (I refreshed repeatedly to check) the page was still saying things like
"ORIGINAL SERIES 6000 WITH OVER 27,000 SFX"
"This collection puts over 27,000 stereo sound effects at your fingertips."
(and it still says
"However, for a very limited time, you can secure the entire General Series 6000 at a significant discount" though its clearly not the 'entire' series after all.)

Well, APD say $998, and Original's original price is $995The price they quote at the bottom is for the core library not the Combo, at least when it's not on sale
But Combo's sale price is $898.
