Izotope Music Production Bundle 2 - Crossgrade Price $399
Just in case any of you didn't know this and were waiting for an Izotope sale --
I bought SoundForge Pro 11 a while ago and love the included Izotope Mastering Bundle (Nectar Elements was also included). After a new DAW build I had trouble authorizing one of those products and created an Izotope user account when I asked them for support. Today they sent me a promotional email and I started looking seriously at their product line for the first time. On a lark I logged in to my account and added their Music Production Bundle 2 ($699) to the shopping cart to see if I might get a price break and I was very surprised to find they quoted me $399. That bundle includes Ozone 7 Advanced, Nectar 2 Production Suite, Neutron Advanced, VocalSynth, Insight, and Trash 2 ("a $2000 value," they claim).
I didn't realize those free Soundforge add-ins would qualify me for a cross-grade price on other Izotope products. Seemed like a great deal to me so I bought it.

Did they specify what constitutes the cross grade? The Ozone, Nectar 2, and Neutron are all the high-end versions which get a lot of usage from me, so that is definitely a good deal for a new customer.

They did have a list of qualifying products, but my free versions bundled with SoundForge were not listed. Nevertheless, once I logged in to my account they showed "coupons" for crossgrade offers. The price is only $299 if you are upgrading from an "advanced" product.
Here's a link to the crossgrade/upgrade page: https://www.izotope.com/en/products/mix/music-production-bundle/pricing.html
I would just suggest that anyone with an Izotope account log in and check out the available offers. If you haven't registered an Izotope product previously, it might be a good idea to do so now, get an account and take advantage if you need this stuff. I'm very happy I stumbled onto this.

Just as a note, This same cross-grade was $299 just a month or so ago. If you go to time-space website it is usually even cheaper if you buy in pounds and not $

Thanks Reginald, looks like you are correct. The crossgrade from a "standard" product at http://www.timespace.com/product/product_list.php is slightly cheaper (315.00 British Pound equals 392.55 US Dollar). Not sure how they verify your prior purchase or if the free Izotope versions that came with SoundForge would qualify on their website as well. Nevertheless, its nice to know about this website and I'll be going back to it in the future. It's easy now to shop globally and get the best deals with currency fluctuations when you can download product from anywhere. Aloha from Hawaii, Bill

I won a free copy of their BreakTweaker product back when they were giving that away in the SonicTalk podcasts. Didn't really have a use for it -- I don't do EDM or anything like it -- but it was neat to play around with for a few hours.
Recently decided I needed/wanted Neutron, and was pleasantly surprised to see that because I was registered owner of one of their products, I qualified for Music Production Bundle 2 at $299... which I purchased without hesitation.
I'd say that worked out well for them! ("First one's free, kids!")
Wish more companies had a similar "own everything, or nearly everything, we make for one reasonable price" attitude. (*cough* Native Instruments *cough*)
