Soundtoys bundle is 🏼, I have the bundle.

I'd prefer Slate's VCC than Waves NLS, I had both plugs but I use VCC most of the time with Heat on.

I'm looking at elysia mpressor and elysia alpha compressor.

How much have you been spent lately?
I've waves diamond bundle, wonder how much will it cost to upgrade to Mercury on Black Friday sales.

Hornet auto pro seems interesting.

I truly believe if enough HD owners don't pay the $599 by December 31st, there will be a discounted offer to entice them to, in 2016.

How many times has this happened in the past years with Avid?

Those whom wait, pay less.
I agree, just look at Avids track record.

Who blinks first loses (BTW that's a wink not a blink )

Still no realistic reason for this overpriced HD upgrade ?
Saving it for Namm
Last year you rolled out avid everywhere
And "subscription!" as the new features

I sold my HD license and not looking back. Not only did AVID lose me as an HD customer, they lost me as a PT customer all together. Too many other great options out there.

They lost me as an HD customer after 17 years. Vanilla for $99 a year now does all I need. Idiotic marketing...

The mind boggles: Avid are selling a version of their software that requires you to buy someone else's hardware (as opposed to their own).

I'm reminded of the Doug and Dinsdale Piranha skit from Monty Python.

Nothing for HD users, as usual.
