32+... I’ve been waiting for so long!!
Also, hoping Boz puts up a sale on The Hoser. It’s not that expensive but I’d love to feel like I only spent some change on it.

Would love to find a discount on SD3. I’m ready to make the jump from Slate Drums. Also Neural DSP Nolly and Goodhertz Canopener. Do you guys think SD3 will go on sale? +1 on the Neural DSP Nolly. Its by far the best amp sim I have played.

Unfortunately most of the stuff I REALLY want isn't likely to be on sale.

I got the +10db channel strip on a sale a while back. It's awesome. I bet Hoser will be good, too. I'd grab it if I needed more EQ plugs. I have plenty the way it is. I'm looking at two things: API Console 1 plug sale from Softube. Especially if it includes 16 channels of free Console 1 Fader. A boy can dream, right? I'm also hoping people will be desperate to upgrade their studio and offload some of their used stuff. I'd be stoked to pick up a reasonably cheap Apollo Twin to add more inputs (two of the Apollo pres plus the available ADAT input) and the side effect adding some more UAD processing power isn't unwelcome.

I’m always kinda eyeing a deal on an Apollo Twin too. Would let me use my Symphony with a Windows laptop and just generally be handy for travel/remote stuff.

If Front End has that same Coil Audio deal as they did last year, that’ll be hard to pass up. Either another CA-70 or the 286 would be sweet, though I don’t need either. What deal was that? I might have to save my pennies.

Silverbullet. Hope that happens. But probably not. landoI'm truly flattered the Silver Bullet made your wish lists. I'm always torn every year about participating in the BFCM hoopla. It makes me feel a little dirty because by doing so I'm basically celebrating my own capitalist greed while exploiting rampant consumerism. I struggle with how Black Friday feels mostly about putting more of your money in my pocket by enticing folks to make impulse purchases under the duress of FOMO. What definitely will be on sale for the rest of the month is our new Chroma+ 1RU unit. So at least I can promise that. My wish for Black Friday is for an end to all the wildfires in California and the return of clean air. Brad

I wouldn't count on much in the way of deals on Slate plugins. They overprice their plugins and rarely do sales all with the goal of driving everyone to the subscription plan. Steven is pretty open about that. There's a couple I have been waiting to go on sale for years and it hasn't happened yet.

Definitely true but all the plus I rely on in the bundle (I guess with the exception of Verbsuite, although the IRs I use in that are Liquidsonics ones) are third party. I really just wanna buy the stuff from the people who actually make it (D16, Liquidsonocs, Overloud, etc) and quit the rental.

Brad I can understand that! ha But I don't think anyone that is buying stuff from you is being "tricked" into anything. You reputation and quality is all that is needed to bring people to your door to buy the gear you make. Its top of the line stuff and people know it. Discounts are always nice is how I look at it. But certainly not required either for me in this case. Plan on having one by the end of the year regardless. hope you're staying safe down there!

I would never say "trick", but it is kind of a psychological game where retailers makes you offers you feel compelled not to pass up. As an ecommerce retailer I start getting email well over a month in advance about seminars, blog posts, apps, etc. regarding optimizing conversions, maximizing profit, and winning at BFCM. It's the biggest capitalist holy day of the year celebrating the sacrament of revenue. Big money, no whammies! Brad

Brad well if it makes you feel any better(or worse) Singles day in China is actually bigger! haha Alibaba had 38 billion dollars in 12 hours or something like that. In just China. Which is bigger than Thanksgiving day sales, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday sales combined. www.cnet.com/news/black-friday-best-singles-day-2019-veterans-day-deals-available-now/So...yeah! haha

Would love to find a discount on SD3. I’m ready to make the jump from Slate Drums. Also Neural DSP Nolly and Goodhertz Canopener. Do you guys think SD3 will go on sale? Have you messed with SSD5? Used them on a song I just finished mixing and it was the first time I forgot they were not live drums.

I can totally understand the mixed emotions with having a business that needs to sell stuff but still feeling “dirty” at times like these when everybody goes into mass hysteria Black Friday-mode. I do think the stuff you create is some of the most well thought through in the whole industry and I hope to add a SB to my arsenal one day. Chroma+ looks super cool, and I have thought about it a lot, my only issue is not being able to choose how much I boost the eq, but I’ll give it some more thought - maybe I’ll go for that one instead.

Hoping to pick up a pair of either MD7's or Little Devil Pre's. I kinda doubt they'll be discounted anywhere though :\

I still hate mixing in a GUI. That's why I own a console.

What would I really like? Lately I've been lusting after a FleA 47 with the F7 cap and the EF12 tube. Have not seen any Black Friday sales on it.

It makes it MUCH easier to get a live drummer to come over. What is the point of comments like these? It'll never cease to amaze me that they get posted. Person 1: I really like the clips of the Upton I've heard. Thinking about taking the plunge. Person 2: Have you tried the Bock though? I was really impressed with it. Sounded a lot like the vintage 251 I used to use. Person 3: I ONLY LISTEN TO SINGERS LIVE IN MY LIVING ROOM RECORDINGS ARE AN ILLUSION Person 1: Person 2: Everyone else:
