You should have received a $25 off code in your account plus there is a hidden lurker code  LURKER2020 takes off another $10 and you may have another $25 coupon if you have purchase anything recently. I just checked and all codes work. So you can grab the new api luna summing in its bundle for like $90, if you own the other plugs already, if you look at api luna summing separately for some reason you see list price $299 ? |

I thought the summing stuff was a little expensive at the regular price, but the current bundle sale price is pretty great. A substantial savings. Just to be clear, does the bundle give you the Studer/Ampex extensions AND the Studer/Ampex plugins? |

I really want the API summing.
But I really don't want Luna.

I really want the API summing. But I really don't want Luna. You could always feed your current DAW into Luna to harness the summing aspect, similar to how people use their DAW of preference to feed into Harrison Mixbus to take advantage of its "sound". |

It's already a complex hybrid setup with Pro Tools and hardwares. I really don't want to add another DAW into the equation. It's really not worth it. |

I don't know if that's something I would want to do either, but it seems to work for some people. If and when I start using Luna, it will be an all or nothing deal for me, most likely. |

If you buy ampex or studer, you get the original plug in for console or your daw and you get the Luna extension.

Sometimes you need to really check (pay attention) to UAD pricing. I was looking at the Neve Bundle thinking that since I already own the 1073 pre/eq and the 1084 pre/eq there would be a break on pricing. Nevertheless, not the case. Before the coupons the bundle price is $659, however I can buy all the plugs in the bundle that I don't have for $620. I'm not slamming UAD since I own an x4, X16, three satellites, over 40 UAD plugins, and have gone full Luna, I am a fan. Just noting that sometimes the bundles are not the best deal. On the positive side, I guess in my case I can pick just what I want from the bundle and still come out ahead on pricing.

I gotta say...I can't tell much of a difference with the API summing. I can with the Neve, but I think the API is a pass for me. Also, I like the 2254, but it's made me really go in and test with other plugs I already own. It's really similar to the 33609 - more weighty though. But I've rediscovered the Zener and that was kind of the nail in the coffin for the 2254 for me.

I was feeling the same way about the API compared to the Neve but I was still gassing for the API. Nice to know someone else is thinking the same thing. |

Well this one is certainly better than the sale they had last month. I'm taking a look but always so unsure of expensive plugin purchases.
I got Softube Curve Bender yesterday for $141 but I didn't know today I could have got UAD for $125. I guess I'd mostly likely rather have the native one anyway, so it works out. This particular plugin is sort of a "secret weapon" for me on mix bus. It gives a very particular color that works for me on a lot of material. That sort of Dark Side/Abbey Road kind of thing, it's so specific and I love it.

Thanks for the lurker code! I used it to get the Ampex Master bus tape for €86 ex vat ... which I was demo-ing alongside the API. The Ampex really impressed me ... huge low end punch. I also prefer the Neve Summing, which I got in the creator bundle when Luna first came out. |

Thanks KCatthedog. I just picked up Capitol Chambers for $104. I've been patiently waiting for it to drop to a reasonable price since it came out.
That's kinda been my routine with UAD. Either wait a few years after a plug is released until there's a good sale or wait until there's enough plugs I want that I can do one of their 4 for $400 deals. A nice chamber reverb was one of the only things missing in my plugin arsenal; I think I'm good on plugs for a while(famous last words).

Btw apparently you can reuse the lurker code! Oh no ... I just got a €25 cupon for my earlier purchase ... these guys take sales lessons from crack dealers and I’m hooked! :-) EDIT: 5 mins later I am the proud owner of Capitol Chambers for €86 ex vat. I hadthat on my list if I ever saw a good deal so a happy camper. Looking forward to trying out tomorrow in the studio ... its late here in Ireland and I just bought it on my mobile just before going to sleep :-D |

Thanks! I got the Lexicon 480l for $79. More like the old days of the UAD sales this time of year! Back when you could use a couple of coupons and the sale to get freebies or $25 gems. Pretty sure that's how I acquired the VOG. I feel that joy every time I pull up the 201 and it still has the Roland logo on it. Old times! |

I am a longtime UA user and have, only a couple of days ago, purchased the Lexicon 480 Plugin, but while I can see the reduced prices for some plugins, I can't find any $25-off code in my account...  ... |

Anyone know - the UAD Studer A800 Multichannel Tape Recorder works with an Octo, right? The product page says "Exclusively for UAD and LUNA Recording System", but in check out it warns me "Note: Your cart contains a product that is exclusively for LUNA Recording System."
thanks!

Make certain you are not picking the extension, but yes, studer runs on any UA dsp: interface, card or satellite.

Does it really matter? Aren't the Studer extension and plugin a package deal at this point? Buy one and you get the other? |
