Nice, still don’t understand why UA doesn’t advertise this more ad it’s a real incentive to grab the x8p? and the discounted bundles you get when you register the device...

I bought a 10 plug deal when I bought my Apollo but it didn’t allow me to pick bundles, but I have seen a few references to some cases where people seemed to get bundles included ?

For me it took me to a page after I registered the new device on my account. It was a limited time offer(once you leave the page it is gone) for pick 2, pick 3 type thing etc etc.

Interesting, I saw the normal registration deal but for 10 plugs, no bundles.
Maybe, it is another 8xp special ?
So,am I understanding you the you can literally select say 3 bundles as opposed to 3 single plug ins ?

Or 6, 8, ultimate 9, etc etc. You can pick those up for a discount.

Oh, I understand and I was not allowed to pick any of those extra bundle discounts, only 10 individual plugs ins, so, in a couple of instances, for example, with manly I bought all 3 plugs in sin that bundle or didn't buy other bundles, not certain if it really matters, but if you could pick bundles with a 10 plug deal you have the savings of the plug in deal and the bundles. For example, today they are adding 3 free plugs ins to a ten bundle deal so you get 13 for the price of 10, already discounted, and in your case you have the 15% off as well ? I like the fact that Ua changes up its sales, but there also point where it just seems inconsistent and with a few weeks of two separate purchases ?? I think it is done so you cannot double up promos ? But the extra discounts seem outside that ,so maybe it just me but I find ti confusing I'll ask CS , found them very helpful of late !

That is interesting... was your account a new one again? I remember that being the case when I bought my first UAD-2 card in 2013. Hmmm.
I am pretty sure it is so you can't double up, which makes sense. They'd get hit pretty hard at times.
The one I recently missed out on was the complete Neve bundle. It was 250 for me for some reason and I still didn't have the 33609, the Neve preamp or the 1073 and 1084.

No, my original account, I never cancelled it.
I am more curious than concerned. I received the $2k unison promo rather than the satellite deal by choice so grateful for that. I would have preferred to pick some bundles, if possible, as some plugs, I missed, (pultec, la2a), are parts of bundles but I was limited to 10.
Anyway, I just like to know the rules and then plan accordingly throughout the year.

I´m in the middle of a test phase where I´m using Unison preamps instead of outboard and I´m only seeing pros in this setup. Always a little curious with such tests. I sold my stereo DBX 160VU when UA came out with their dbx 160 plugins a long time ago. Thought the difference was so small and at that point I needed the money. Which hw pre are you testing against?

I normally track with: 2x Chandler REDD.47 2x Chandler TG2 500 2x Neve 1290 (DIY Clone) 2x Chandler Germanium Pre 500 2x Don Classics NV73 (Another Neve Clone) 2x DIY API 312
I also use some 1084s (DIY), Chanlder MKIVs, Chanlder Tone Controls in the way in. Plus some Compressors (1176 -DIY-, LA2A -DIY-, ADR Compex, TG1, RS124, Germanium Comp).
Not a bad outboard collection, I guess. But the Unison preamps do sound good enough, and it´s so easy to open a session and have everything set up! Or swaping a preamp with a mouse click!

Or swaping a preamp with a mouse click!Thats true as you say with the convenience and avoid worrying about the patch. The unison preamp that I have liked and that I use the most is Helios Type 69. Then there are some external preamps that have been with me for so long time and will continue to do so. I like the hybrid option with Apollo. When I work with a drum job myself and have time, the external gears will have to work. Then it's a dream to have unison and the Apollo hybrid when there are customers in the studio with larger recordings. Made an investment with 4 Apollo (one X16 and three X8P) which I do not regret. Now I am waiting for some important additions for LUNA (such as external gear input, etc). Then I will fly with LUNA to the moon and back. Good time with a lot of opportunities.

How does one get their demoes reset? Since they've gone corporate, very difficult to get service. Still have a few of the old guard phone numbers but not sure they even work there anymore.

Any one of the above. If you were thinking of buying multiple plugs but also wanted time to think about it: one strategy is, buy one plug, get a 14 day reset, demo, day 13, buy another and repeat?

I think when you download and update your UAD software they get reset as well
