I wouldn't use these words, but it's him, yes.
He's gotten quite stiff lipped during the last week,
there seems a lot of internal wrong-going inside UAD.
In between I see the whole thing as an entertaining and educational live drama.
UAD still worth it?

That guy's job suddenly went to hell - he spent 99% of his time pumping up the latest super cool magical console emulation pixie dust but now he's the public face of UAD. If companies want to have a forum rep to promote their wares they need to be ready for that official account to catch flak when they upset customers.

I just got an offer that I can purchase 6 plugins instead of 3 for 436 euro.
I guess they have mathematical problems there at UAD...

to me Distressor is 108 euro, but if I get 6 of them I only pay 436 euro.Daimonicon wrote: Sun Nov 12, 2023 2:45 pm So UADs two new plugins only 349$....each. Wow that's cheap....not. Why would anyone pay that much for a plugin today?Ppl with too much money? For the price of both of them I can get a good guitar second hand.
If I get 44 of them I pay 327 euro instead.
MY head hurts.

Not much of the sale makes much sense against that amazing signature Bundle.LoveEnigma18 wrote: Mon Nov 13, 2023 10:36 am "12 Days of UAD" sale has started ($49 for select plugins every day), but at this point, I think, unless you really want only one or two plugins in which case you could wait for the day that plugin goes for $49 and then grab it as is or with a thank you coupon, I'd just grab the Studio Bundle ($250) or Signature Bundle ($300) - especially after contacting UA support to help with some kind of coupon since you would own a lot of the included plugins already. I am waiting for a reply on my request. Let's see.
I wouldn't get much out of it, but what I would would still actually be very good price per plugin. I just don't need much, though some new instruments always fun.

Yeah, got to agree.
They're using older plugins as a bundle for new users. They're just actually being too generous and it devalues everything else they do.
They have some other great plug ins... But who'll pay $100 for anything now..?

Indeed. Signature Bundle for $299 (assuming you own the free LA-2A) is the best deal I have seen from them yet. Under $10 per plugin is insane. Amazing value even if you only use half the included plugins._leras wrote: Tue Nov 14, 2023 11:42 amNot much of the sale makes much sense against that amazing signature Bundle.LoveEnigma18 wrote: Mon Nov 13, 2023 10:36 am "12 Days of UAD" sale has started ($49 for select plugins every day), but at this point, I think, unless you really want only one or two plugins in which case you could wait for the day that plugin goes for $49 and then grab it as is or with a thank you coupon, I'd just grab the Studio Bundle ($250) or Signature Bundle ($300) - especially after contacting UA support to help with some kind of coupon since you would own a lot of the included plugins already.

But even the Studio Bundle is awesome. It's only $50 less (considering the discount offer), but IMO it has the most useful plugins included. So, one can save $50 there if you don't want/need the additional plugins.
By the way, the custom 2/2, 3/6, 6/16, etc. bundles they have going are absolutely useless.

UA Connect is a horrendous way to download and update plugins because it breaks everything from time to time. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. You have to close and reopen it. Sucks.

Well there are a lot of great tools not in the bundles... but they hardly look good value against the bundles any more.LoveEnigma18 wrote: Tue Nov 14, 2023 2:22 pm By the way, the custom 2/2, 3/6, 6/16, etc. bundles they have going are absolutely useless.

I have the Analog Classics Bundle and some single purchases from the summer deals.
I wasn't expecting anything from support, but they finally wrote back a week later and made me an offer I couldn't refuse, lol.
Got Signature Bundle for £120

I've never had a problem with it, and don't find it horrendous, it just does it's job when I run it manually to download/update/activate something, and then close it again.vertibration wrote: Tue Nov 14, 2023 2:33 pm UA Connect is a horrendous way to download and update plugins because it breaks everything from time to time.

That's pretty good - I'd be in the same boat I guess (I picked up more than that in the Summer), but having to beg support for consideration for an offer seems somehow unseeming to me, and therefore doesn't really appeal...J Veronica wrote: Wed Nov 15, 2023 7:08 pm I have the Analog Classics Bundle and some single purchases from the summer deals.
