I don’t see sale end dates. I still see a red box that says deals, and the list is still like the new layout and not the old one with beginning and end dates. Anyone else?

Same, but not unexpected.

The team are working on adding end dates back to the "Deals" page, so expect to see them return in the near future.

Soundpaint 1980 Tenor Sax, $15 with code SPECTRALIUSXGRADE (emailed to me, may be a cross grade) 11gb download but sounds great

https://soundpaint.com/products/tenor-s ... 7s73bb62c0

Thanks! This works even for customers who've never bought from them (like me) and your link added the coupon code automatically.

8dio have the best quality to price ratio of all libraries (known to me) by far

Bad quality - > low prices
where they belong

Did you try Soundpaint Tenor Sax?

I watched the walkthrough where rattle was not even cleaned from the sample or re-recorded but was presented as a feature of a vintage instrument.. Also the recording is not vintage-y at all.

Different taste I guess. And that can change as well, but I never liked their stuff, their tone, their GUI etc. (Maybe one paid library I liked, and a couple of their freebies were ok)

Yes, and it looks like they replaced the old option to order by deal end date with two different categories, "Ending soon" and "New deals". I did see one offer that lists the deal end date inside the graphic thumbnail (one of the Ujam sales), but I think that's provided by the plugin developer not Plugin Boutique.

A week ago they told me they'd take 2 to 3 weeks for an update that they "hope" will remedy the problem. That's still strangely vague but at least something we can refer to by then.

Removing the sort by end date option really makes Plugin Boutique much less attractive compared to competitors because aside from centralization, the deals and rewards are essentially what their business model is based on, having higher "non-sale" prices than others.

In case anyone (like me) was wondering if the Humble Bundle Music Creator's 2024 deal comes with the third party software that was originally bundled with the retail version of Acid Pro 10 Suite, it does NOT. Serum & Melodyne etc. are not part of the bundle.

[Aloysius]

Also check if the samples are royalty free. I think they may not be.

The humble blender market bundle looks pretty good, not for the sqeemish tho, solid modeling, terrain generation, fluid dynamics and volumetric engines are likely gonna require some fundamentals to be able to use effectively.

They are version locked sadly, still a good deal seems like.

^^^ Picked that up the other day.

Yes it's like an extended trial. A lot of them will probably be broken on next major Blender update.

Do you get individual serial numbers that can be registered with Magix for all the products?
I only want one of them and want to pass on the rest.

Separate keys are issued, also for the sound packs.

Virsyn Cantor2 179 EUR in Summer Sale (regular 299 EUR) - http://www.virsyn.de/en/E_Products/E_CA ... antor.html
Last until August 31st.

Is this a joke? It sounds worse than Vocaloid. I think a price of $20 would have been more proper.

I think all the VirSyn stuff (other than iOS) needs major overhauling and upgrading. The last time they had a big sale on their products like TERA, Cube, and Poseidon I tried the demos and they sounded really good but the interfaces were horribly outdated and difficult for me to see (resolve) and use. If it weren't for the interfaces, I would have purchased one or more of their synths during that sale.

I really like their iOS stuff - seems to be where they are putting their eggs.

I'll second that. I don't have an iPhone but they were pretty cutting edge for their audio processing ideas, and the GUI's are not friendly to the visually impaired.

[robelanator]

Not sure the change is rolled out to everyone yet or if they're A/B testing for select users, but beginning and end dates of the sales are now shown for me on the Plugin Boutique "Deals" page.
