Can someone confirm Softube Tape is on sale $49? I see it for $49 then after adding it to card it becomes $99.
I'd like to buy it but can't for some reason.

Stays at $49 for me

Weird. As pointed out in the other thread, I got to the very last "confirm" button with $49 just a few minutes ago.

I'm not sure what the deal is. Different parts of the world? I'm in the U.S.

Are you running an ad or script blocker in your browser? That could causing it to misbehave.

Well, I already own tape but that shouldn't keep me from buying another one! Adding any other item currently on sale works as it should so I'd say this offer is purposeful not meant for everybody?

I still *have* the discount. I was sharing my experience in contrast to those who can't seem to get the sale price to appear.

When I just go to Softube's website, it lists Tape at $49 on sale. But when I log in... back up to $99. I was about to buy it... guess I'll wait for things to get sorted out. I notice that none of the resellers anywhere have any hint of it being on sale on their sites.

Nowdays that is really nothing special. Old & simple mallet kontakt lib with basic functions for $20? No, thanx.

Honest question, what functions beyond basic should one expect for a $20 mallet library of this breadth? And what are the better alternatives?

This is not only mallets sounds. There’s a processed section with a lot of different sounds.

It has bowing sounds as well. Not your typical mallet instruments either. Lots of metallic ones, like a wrench xylophone. I guess it depends on what type of music you make.

Trying to decide if Elysia Karacter is worth $25. I'm not really into the distortion aspect of it, but slightly colored, it sounds nice. It's just that I probably have multiple effects that do the same thing.

I think I just talked myself out of it. I buy all these effects and instruments that sound cool, but end up using the same ones over and over.

I don't see quite similar sounding saturator all around. I have several also (ie. Soundtoys Decapitator) but Karacter seems to have.. own character.

PSP MixPack2 on sale. My personal discount brings it down to $27... worth it? I have to admit the plugins LOOK very ancient but I've heard good things. I just don't know if they've been made completely redundant over the last decade or so by other developers' "mix" plugs, ie Neutron.

Thanks. I do know if I miss it, it will be on sale again. Sigh.

How do you get the personal discount?
Was it in your email inbox or is it applied at checkout automatically?
I already own Piano Verb and I'm not seeing any additional discount anywhere.

Depends how much you bought before thats why it's called personal discount. I have 8 plugins and my discount is 14% = $5 bucks less. You see it when you add to cart.

It's funny you say Mixpack 2 is ancient so it might not be that great. Because I thought the version 1 actually sounded better than version 2.

I guess with only one of their cheapest products so far, I didn't pay enough yet to be considered a rewardable customer. Kinda makes sense.
