Default 2022 Black Friday Deals

Here we go again. Post the deals if you find them. And keep in mind that "Halloween sales" may or may not be as good as the Black Friday sales when they come along.

Sonnox is having a big sale with some sizable mark downs that scale up the more plugins you buy. I've wanted their Claro EQ since it first came out and now it's marked down by 75% so that's comin' home to papa (don't judge me).S

FYI - I think the British Pound to USD conversion right now favors buying from the British site rather than Plugin Boutique.

The Purafied VU Compressor is on sale for $38. This looks to be a very nice option. It emulates four compressors: 1176A, 1176D, 1176F, and the LA3A. The YouTube reviews are very good and the included features have just about everything you'd hope to find including autogain, A/B comparison, a HPF, and adjustments for oversampling, low frequency boost/cut, high frequency boost cut, and THD. I've listened to a couple of the reviews and this thing sounds really nice to my ears.

For those who may be interested, you can download a trial version.

Softube's BF sale is on. Many plugins greatly reduced in price, including the very excellent Weiss Deess.

It appears even more products are on sale if you go to their "All Products" page.

Mastering the Mix has a few plugins on sale, including Levels which has been my favorite metering plugin for a few years now.

They can be bought through Plugin Boutique or at the Mastering the Mix website.

Not recording for some might say* but it's hard to get sufficient levels from a guitar without strings.

One of my string vendors just sent an email that the Elixir 3 for the price of 2 packs have made their annual return.

*One recording example: I use Nanoweb on my MIDI pickup guitars, as string squeak can get interpreted as bad wolf notes there.

Edit: The Kush sale I put here turned out to be a Halloween sale. I'll repost if/when they have a BF sale.

Toontrack is on sale for 35-40% off. I own both Superior Drummer 2 and 3, as well as EZ Keys and EZ Bass. I really do love their products.

These sales are nice. I unfortunately already own most of it!

I own a lot of it also. There's only a few things I might want but there's no hurry on getting them.

East-West libraries are on sale over at Best Service for up to 60% off.
FYI - I've bought from Best Service many times so no worries about whether they're a legit site.

Soundtoys is giving away their Little Radiator plugin for free.
You can grab it until January 2nd.
Soundtoys sometimes ties in discounts to the number or value of the plugins from them that you already own, so this grabbing this now might save you a few bucks another day.

I was waiting for this. Added some Toontrack stuff yesterday right after I saw that Sweetwater has started their holiday deals.
