Uncle E: I see you've got Ozone 8 crossgrade for $84. Is that about as good as it gets?
It's a bit hard keeping up with these biweekly Izotope offers.

I don't remember ever seeing it cheaper. The Crossgrade to Ozone 8 Advanced is certainly the lowest I've ever seen it.

Wasn't O8N2 crossgrade from Elements available for $199 about 2 months ago?
- Yes, just checked, was via plugin boutique. Also $199 for Ozone 8 Advanced was available some weeks ago.

Does anyone know if Waldorf support is speedy? I tried creating an account to buy Largo but was supposed to get an activation email that didn’t arrive and so my account is not active!

Also... Uncle E, will you be doing the 50% as well?

We now have 50% off Waldorf plugins:

Sweet!

Hi Uncle E, just curious. Do you know if Ozone 9 is around the corner? If they follow the 18 month release cycle they started with RX7 it would be due fairly soon. Ozone 8 was released in October 2017.

It is not. Maybe it's on the Nectar 3 release cycle.

So, 2022 then. Boy, that would be nice. These iZotope upgrades tend to weigh heavy on my budget.

I own Reason and now i will buy the Crossgrade to Cubase 10 Pro. Can i wait with activating maybe until Oktober to get the Grace Period Update?

Free update to Cubase Pro 11? That might also make it much easier to resell if I end up not liking it after a few months (assuming that the grace period wouldn't apply to resold licenses)... hmm.

You'll have to wait a year and a half for the upgrade to 11. 10.5 is due in around 6 months. And you can't activate it until near the time the upgrade comes out. I usually wait until they actually release the new version.

Oh, they make you pay to update to 10.5 though apparently... in the past "grace period" as mentioned has been late October, do you mean you have to wait even longer to actually activate it? Late october wouldn't be so bad, but I'd definitely want to activate before Black Friday / holiday sales....

Yes. Usually around $49 for each .5 upgrade and $99 for each full upgrade. Late October, early November is probably fine. I usually just buy the .5 when it is on sale the summer before the full update and wait to activate. That way I pay less than $49 for the full upgrade. I'm also still in the "current" version so I don't have to pay the higher upgrade fee that you pay if you are more than one level behind. It's worked out pretty good so far.

Uncle E, will you have the new $ 99 Izotope Vocal Bundle upgrade soon?

[mladi]

Uncle E, now that Steinberg is offering 50% off upgrades for Cubase, will you be doing the same in your shop?

I just checked and the upgrade sale is still not on their dealer page.

Any news regarding the upgrades?

I like Largo. I felt that Nave was a bit of a let down. But that is very subjective.

I went with Largo as I’ve been eyeing it for years. And Aiyn Zahev soundset Drive convinced me

Anybody have any experience with buying from pluginalley.com?
