You're welcome, counterparty!

Also, if you're just getting your toes wet, you might want to try out VielklangCM -- It's a cut-down version, and I haven't tried it, but it looks good. Costs about $6 for the digital issue of Computer Music Magazine, which then enables you to download a copy. Generally, if you like the product, lots of vendors will cut you a good upgrade deal for the full software.

...Okay, end of OT for me on this...

I am pretty surr Eventide site says "any 4 plugin" but I am on the phone now and too late to login and check again...

I am really tempted to purchase the "Venomode Pivot Mid-Side Tilt EQ Plugin" but I do not have any experience with Venomode or this plugin... has anyone here used it or Venomode before? Thanks in advance for your input/feedback, time and effort.

Not 100% clear I must say....

They are very specific in their FAQ which states that only those plugins included in anthology count. They even have a question specifically addressing Stereo Room and Blackhole.

[autodafe]

ok, will check it, thanks

EDIT: ok it' clearly stated in the product pages in their store,
but not clearly stated as well in the sale page: https://www.eventideaudio.com/specials/holiday-sale

Does anyone know if the Overloud TH3 Upgrade can be used on the TH3 that comes with Sonar Platinum?

Good price on Vintage Strings for Kontakt Player in the 70% off BigFishAudio sale at BestService. Got it for $59.

Dang. I woke up just now and find out about the new $99 offer on Anthology X for owners of 'any 4 Eventide products' as per JRRshop here: https://www.jrrshop.com/eventide-anthol ... thology-ii

This just confirmed that I should have waited a bit more before ordering two days ago. But since JRR still hasn't fulfilled my order, I'm hoping they can help me out as I was certainly one confused by all the lack of info going around on which products qualified. And now own BlackHole and PTA as well. I've just emailed Jesus and hope they are able to help me out. That'd be nice...

That's one heck of a deal for $99 if so. Here's to hoping JRR's turnaround is good enough to catch this for me.

Edit: Good news! Jesus over at JRR just confirmed that they have not finalized the order for the 3 products owned option as they need all my products registered in my Eventide online account before being able to order. So once I register Blackhole and PTA in my Eventide account it seems that I can then get the $99 4 products owned option. Horray!

JRR is going back on my favorite reseller list for this great support with their quick reply. Thank you Jesus!

You lose your existing license(s) in exchange for Anthology X

This is reverse backwards logic... they are only hurting sales with this policy, think about how many more people would buy into this upgrade if they could sell what they have to help recoup cost and then those folks who purchase these individual plugins (at a discount) it would then motivate them to also purchase the upgrade... more customers is always better, especially when they have acquired your product legally. I'm sure there are many other arguments for/against but this is a black Friday sale and competition is fierce, those with the most clever/savings deal will get the lions share of revenue.

Not really. The whole reason to give a discount based on owning plugs that are already in the bundle is so you don't get duplicates. It is the same way Waves works with their bundle upgrades.

Yep, that logic was apparent to me, thanks for the clarification, I have a strong/long background in sales/promotion and the long term game I explained would serve them better in my view... think about it, if you could sell your duplicates to recoup your cost then EVERYBODY would upgrade and they would get a whole new batch of brand new customers from the dups you sold for them... win, win. lol, but I regress... I know my little rant will not change their minds, ouch! dammit, a pluginmon banner just fell on my foot

I thought blackhole didn't count torwards the four upgrade because it wasn't in anthology x??

Sample Magic BLOQ on sale over at VSTBuzz for $30 this week. I paid $50 last month. Great deal.

http://vstbuzz.com/deals/50-off-bloq-sample-magic/

That is a good deal. I ordered the scripted Kontakt instrument a couple of hours ago and have not received download info yet. Normally VSTBuzz is very fast... I guess I will not get to play with the instrument this evening... time to sleep.

I think that has changed now. I was in email conversation with Jesus at JRRshop and he has successfully placed the order for me for the $99 upgrade for users having 4 plugins. I gave him my list and he seemed to indicate all was well. I've been charged for the new order but I haven't received the final code yet. I'll definitely share my success once I am able to register Anthology X successfully.

And the final total was actually $85 with the additional discount in cart at JRRshop. So QUITE a deal.

AND, they were very cool and actually refunded me $85 from when I'd originally ordered the 3 products upgrade. So JRR has now delighted me with their service. That I need to share. It matters. Credit where credit is due.

Just be sure you have all your plugins registered in your online account at eventide.com before ordering or it'll be held up at the reseller until you do. He confirmed to me that is a requirement and why they hadn't completed my order for the past two days. Turns out it was in my benefit that I hadn't actually registered Blackhole and PTA yet. So I was able to canx the first order and order the $85 deal. I'm happy.

I'll post once I have everything registered in my account.

JRR Black Friday Week Day 3!

50% off all Groove3 and get a particularly crazy extra discount in cart on the 1 Year Subscription while supplies last:
www.jrrshop.com/groove-3

Anyone else getting the message that no coupons are available for this? Uncle E mentions that a particularly crazy discount is available in cart, but it doesn't seem to be giving it. Maybe the "supplies" didn't last very long? Eric?
