New promo

Well....I just got a promo coupon that expires on June 30th so I would imagine that the motivation behind this is either to apply this to a new plugin that will be released before June 30th or to try to offload existing plugs before the new one(s) arrive after June 30th. Soooo...... I'm either being manipulated into spending money on something now that I might not want once I know what the new offering is........or.......I'm being pressured into buying something before I have time to fully decide whether or not it sucks and I hate it :)

.......just because you are paranoid, doesn't mean someone isn't out to get you......

:lol:

I'd hold off until I saw what new offering is in the works, if possible. It might be something that, if you saw it and had already spent your money on something else, you would die.

If you don´t have the Neves nor the Helios, I wouldn´t hold back.

But it is easy to simply try the plug Ins during the Demo of 14 days, before buying.
If you would like to \"re-test\" a PlugIn, drop UAD a mail. Usually they are very kind.

I think UAD is very nice to us as their customers. With all the vouchers Plug Ins get pretty cheap.


The only problem - and I can´t help always complaining about it - is that it is hard to use all these fine Plug Ins with the existing DSP card.
Please please, please ( BeatlesTM )

I´d be happy to spend all my vouchers towards a job opening at UAD for an additional hardware engineer, possibly bought out from NVIDIA or somewhere else.
 
i got a 75$ voucher, but already have all possible plugins + tutorial dvd.
so i would make no sense if they send me a voucher i cannot use.

so i'm really sure that they will release the rs88 channel strip on 1st of june !!!!!

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I called UA, and here's a transcript to the best of my memory:

Me: \"I just received the $75 coupon, but I own every single plug-in you've made. Please tell me I'm going to have an opportunity to use it before it expires in a month.\"

UA: \"I believe that you will.\"

Me: \"That's all I needed to hear. Thanks.\"

Installed my 2nd UAD-1 today (and it's my birthday:) and I'm happy.

Not only did I get a coupon for $50 for adding a project pak but surprise surprise, I got another one also for $50 because I own more than 5 plug-ins!

I was thinking about getting the EMT Plate 140, but now I think I might get the Helios 69 !!!! I was really torn between the Neve 1073 and the Helios a while ago and ended up buying the 1073 because I thought I would be able to use it more often, and also the SE version is light on CPU. The Neve sounds \"further away\" than the Helios though, which sounds erm, \"closer\".

Wonder what the new plug on the block will be this month...
Living in luxury!

that's quite nice to hear !

yeah, as i said above, i don't have the helios, 1081, or 33609... i'm hesitant on the 609 because i use the waves SSL bus compressor quite happily on just about everything i do..

and as far as EQs go.. i feel like i have enough between the 1073, URS, waves SSL, cambridge, etc etc etc...

maybe i'll see what's on the horizon.. then make my choice... either way, i'm using the coupon!

Do you push it hard, or just touch it for colour? I'm finding the '609 a great tool for colour -- set so the meter only just moves. Took a while to get used to though.

This voucher thing has me beat. I haven't got everything by any means, but I've got everything i need! Plus i'm not sure what the new neve strip will bring to the party that i can't do with my exisiting plugs. They'd have to release something like an ams rmx-16 to peak my interest again.

i put it on my master buss when i mix/create.. it's part of my DP startup template... i'm usually doing no more than 4db of compression at any time... and that's extreme.. usually it's hitting at 0-2.. but, you know my music.. it's not very dynamic.. but, peaks do get through.. i love the way the SSL responds when set just right..

UA seem to know how to sell plugins. How can we say no if we get these coupons? It's like wasting money if we don't use them. :D

I'm thinking about the plate 140 this time. I got a $75 coupon.

Hey Hey!

The Plate 140 is amazing. It's almost the only verb I use.

I'm really looking forward to either the Neve Channel Strip or the Exciter/Maximizer/Enhancer/Shaper thing.

My bet is that it's going to be an expensive bundle, which is why we're getting a coupon for plugs we already have (I've got everything, so $75).

It really is a great marketing idea. They could even hike the price and give the expiring coupon and it would make some of us buy it to spend the coupon...

Woohoo! Another $75 clams for my next plugin, :D

Which will be the very next new plugin since I already have them all.
I hope it's a good one. ;)
