I popped for the CLA Compressor collection and the Tony Maserati Collection.  I wasn't going to do it but the additional Audiodeluxe discount pushed me past the tipping point.  Resistance is futile.

You guys talking about the CLA Classic Compressors? Cause Audiodeluxe has it for $110.99

Just making sure this is the one you're referencing.

INCLUDES:
 
CLA-2A Compressor/Limiter
Modeled on the legendary electro-optical tube compressor, the CLA-2A emulates the original’s smooth, frequency-dependent behaviors that have made it a favorite of engineers everywhere.
 
CLA-3A Compressor/Limiter
Based on the early ‘70s solid-state unit known for its unique and highly transparent compression curve, the CLA-3A delivers the quick response and the subtle harmonic distortion for which the original is world-renowned.
 
CLA-76 Compressor/Limiter (Blacky and Bluey)
Inspired by two highly-desirable revisions of the famed mid-60s Class A line level limiting amplifier, both versions of the CLA-76 offer the superfast attack that made them studio legends.

Wow, they dropped the price down again from this morning!

Yup, that's the bundle ... I don't think I've ever seen it at such a low price.  Anyone interested ought to jump on it this weekend.
 
For someone shopping for this kind of compressor package, there's a tough choice right now between the CLA and NI bundles.  About the same price for each, but there are some differences which will become apparent with demos.  The better choice will depend on your tastes.  Either one is a great buy this weekend.
 
Speaking of NI, don't forget their other 50%-off specials on goodies like the excellent Premium Tube plugins as well as a bunch of virtual instruments, including Kontakt 5.  And Waves has a lot of other plugins at rock-bottom prices, too -- Vocal Rider for $50 (I know, the sidechain feature doesn't work in Sonar, but it's still useful for leveling out a track), the Musicians 2 bundle for $49 (wow!) ... both at Audio Deluxe.  And the list goes on ...
 
Cheers,

Yeah, I think I have to take the bait on the CLA one as I have the NI stuff.

Quick question on Kontakt 5.  I updated some of my instruments and now some don't load because they now require 5 - is this right?  My choices are upgrading to 5 or reverting back the instruments (or is that possible)?
 
EDIT to add: I see they have Komplete 8 Players - a free download which has Kontakt 5 player.  Will these work with K7?
 
Nevermind - they are only a time-limited set of players for demo purposes.

Mike, how much were the shakers? I've been meaning to pick up some real ones for awhile now.

And did they come with any presets?

$14.99


They didn't come with presets but they seem to have "groove" built in.


I got the "soft" or red versions as shown above because the sound seemed like it would be just right for mixing into the back ground.


Most of the others seemed unnecessarily aggressive and had a pronounced harshness.


best regards,
mike

With parkinsons you get full automation. Better then presets.

I've sent an inquiry to Audiodeluxe with a request to lower my price from $139.00 to the $110.99 price.  That's a little too soon a price drop (from morning to afternoon) IMHO.

Probably a little more of a commitment than I'm ready to make. (replying to cowboydan)

Audio Deluxe were announcing "new deals every day". But it's pretty lame that they'll go and further discount the same items.
