Numanoid
onThanks for compiling the list. But where are the no-brainer deals?
Tomislav Zlatic
onHey Numanoid, cheers! I’d say the 90% OFF at Black Rooster Audio definitely qualifies. The $3 deal at Loopcloud, too. As for the freebies, I think Free To Use Sounds offers a total no-brainer.
Mike B
onThe Black Rooster Audio deals are no-brainer deals that I am thinking very hard about…
Numanoid
onMG-1 and SR-88 great deals :-)
Jeff

Mark
onBig thanks for this huge compilation!
Just wanna ask a quick questions anybody might be able to answer.
I already have some plugins on my watchlist I want to buy, but i’m wondering if its worth to wait until friday, to see if there are even bigger discounts.
Does anybody of you have some experience with black friday plug-in shopping? How do you approach this?
Thanks for your answers
Jeff
onI don’t think it matters now as they all all out there with sales now. These companies are looking to get ahead of the game by offering their deals earlier so that you spend money with them instead of someone else.
Kaspars
onMy favourite deal is Sonic Academy ANA2 at
70% off.
Numanoid
onNice times for freebies, I just found that Novation has added d16 Devastator 2 as a freebie to the their Sound Collective members :-)
JT
onHi, Zinio says the coupn code BLACK2020 is invalid!
Numanoid
onDid you go for the annual subscription? Cannot use the code for single issues.
JT
onYep. Thomas W said the 40% was invalid.
JT
onOk thay just chatted – the 40% is expired? they’re offering a 20% coupon
Oliver
onGet up to 75% off products and bundles from Mogwai Audio Tools – https://mogwaiaudiotools.com.au/. They have also release a new product – Multiband Saturator.
Thank you for the list Tomislav!
Tomislav Zlatic
onThanks for the tip! Adding this to the list.
Maximilian and Daniel
onHi there. First, thank you for this awesome list! We’re two guys from Schallmaster.com. Schallmaster is our first own Startup. We have no Budget because we’ve released our Plattform just yet and trying to get some help with publicity. We would feel honored if you could feature it in your Black Friday List. We could also work on a deal together if you have an idea what we could offer you.
We would be happy to hear back from you!
Thank you!
Maurizio
onHi , thanks for the list , few days ago I’ve got new that Presonus ( or Focusrite ?? sorry too many news . . ) had set free the plugins offered with their own sound cards but I’m not able to find the offer as I was on mobile and their site was not opening correctly , any infos about it ?
Numanoid
onYummy Beats has set free Holla Loops and Percussions & Claps WAV sample libs for the black friday weekend
https://www.yummybeats.com/deals/?mailing=51211ba07bef7&cp=2020_blackweek
Michal O.
onThanks for the Yummy Beats info. That’s the first time I downloaded sample libraries in .exe format. Strange to say the least.
Numanoid
onA bit unusual, but I don’t think it is something fishy about it. Yummy Beats have been around for several years as a vendor. An Exe file can sometimes be a self extracting archive.
Numanoid
