Has anyone here ever heard of (or purchased from) a website called plugados.com? They have slate trigger 2 there for $49, but I’ve never seen plugados mentioned here, and i haven’t seen trigger go on sale yet for BF anywhere else. Seems a little sketch, but I could just be uninformed. Probably will end up waiting for the sale to hit another website I’m more familiar with either way, but it caught my eye and just wanted to make sure. Some of their deals aren’t bad

My inbox makes me wonder if the market is so saturated around BF to the point that it largely just becomes a wall of noise.

Totally. I'm confident in the tools I have and don't really need or want anything else so for me it's purely if some 'nice to have' no-brainer comes along. Also the same deal at multiple sites so a case of looking at who has the best freebie, more noise.

Pretty certain with many of these sellers, there are same/better deals throughout the year.

Bought the clipper and gate from SIR, BFD3 (which I may come to regret) and SideMinder ME which were all tools I were lacking. Got a few small sample libraries I'm eyeing up, a Noise Engineering plugin and possibly the new Newfangled Audio plugin on crossgrade but otherwise not much.

Empirical Labs plugins about 35% up to 43% discount.
End date currently unknown to me.

* Arousor $129 instead of $199 = ~35% off (includes LT)
* Big FrEQ $89 instead of $149 = ~40% off
* Arousor LT $49 instead of $79 = ~38% off
* Arousor + Big FrEQ $198 instead of $348 = ~43% off (auto $20 discount in cart)

Caveat: iLok, but Cloud available.

Nice, unfortunately cant see any upgrade path from Arousor LT, which is a shame.
Edit - Scratch that, a coupon appears in the basket once items are added.

I noticed that too, that this year I'm not that excited about BF, maybe because of the inflation crisis etc.
But usually I have long lists with products to test and eventually buy.
This year it's only 2 (Newfangled Ivigorate and Process Spice Rack) that I'm interested in and testing.

A lot of products recently released are just re-hashes of existing stuff, and intro prices with 10% off (like Kush LG Drive) don't trigger me at all anymore (knowing that they will do at least 30% off in a few months). Also PA introducing Forever29 made me buy my favorites on release (The Oven, Sa2rate), so nothing I really look out for now.

Plugin Boutique is now offering the Cherry Audio CA2600 synth as a free with any purchase option.

Somebody slap me if I fall for another "exclusive" deal.

Just to say if anyone’s considering the Cherry Audio GX-80 and already has a number of their synths already to login and check their price to upgrade to Synth Stack 3, I managed to add four synths and the GX-80 for just £40 more than I would have for the GX-80 alone.

I paid $3 more than you!

j/k...I'm only a little salty about it.

No Izotope "Mix and Master Bundle Advanced" upgrade from the previous version of the "Mix and Master Bundle"... except for the "cross-grade from any Izotope Advanced product"? Bleh. Just as well, if they'd offered it for $100 instead of $200 I'd have been tempted. Plus I already have Nectar 3 Plus and Neoverb (added to the new version of the bundle) but of course that doesn't change my "Loyalty" offer at all....
