I just buy from the cheapest.

Or whoever has the best freebie.

Thanks! I don't know if they'll show up any time soon. Have you tried Virtual JV yet? As a die-hard JD-990 user, I love it.

Yes I have tried the Virtual JV. I own a hardware JV880 and find them very close in sound. The advantage goes to the plugin for me since I find working with hardware far too tedious these days after being spoiled by the "in the box" experience for the last twenty five years.

IK Multimedia TOTAL VI MAX 2 on sale again for $69.99 at Plugin Boutique. Seems like a great deal. Anyone really like/use this bundle?

I just buy from the cheapest.

I find JRR Shop is frequently the cheapest. Even if it's a couple of dollars more at JRR I prefer to support someone who is active here over a vendor like Plugin Boutique who is never active here. But then I believe in being loyal to companies I like which are few and far between these days.

Or whoever has the best freebie.

The issue for me is that most of those freebies are what I call "third tier" plugins. More toys than tools but of course there are the rare exceptions.

I could have purchased the D-50 from Plugin Boutique and got a freebie I'll never use but I feel better having purchased from JRR not only because it was less expensive by a couple of dollars but also to support someone who as I said earlier is "one of us".

Are you both in a secret society?

I typically prefer buying from JRR Shop

I did switch to Audiodeluxe some years ago becourse they still dont charge vat/tax overseas

25 pct saved always

On top of that their reward-system and exclusive deals are by far better for me

Every now and then I use other shops also ,.. but Audiodeluxe wins the order most often

Please let me know if we're collecting VAT on something that others aren't. That means that I can remove it, too. I only collect VAT on the companies that required me to do it at some point, but they may have changed their policies without telling me.

I don´rt remember having added VAT when buying from Eric. I´m in the EU.

BTW, AudioDeluxe´s biggest convenience for me is that they allow payment by credit card. If using Revolut the exchange rate is much more favourable than Paypal´s. If the difference isn't huge (thanks FORUM/GROUP ones!), I buy from JRR.

Here's a UVI Digital Synsations vol 1 key if anyone wants it:

XXXSC30-IN1NPAEI

The first XXX are the letters of the company we're talking about in uppercase letters.

Please let me know if you've redeemed it. Enjoy!

You can add the Card to PayPal and override PayPal to charge it in the vendor's currency. That way best of both, better protection and rates.

Sonible puffer:fish saturation plugin for free

https://www.sonible.com/pufferfish/

puffer:fish is a free saturation plugin made to encourage play, curiosity, and bold ideas. In a way, it is a lot like the sonible team itself: serious about sound quality, with plenty of room for a good laugh along the way.

hmmm.... how come I didn´t think of that? thanks for the tip.

I'd judge even a 5 year old for finding this crap even remotely amusing.
