Set credit cards to stun.

This won't be a completely exhaustive list, there's just too much stuff to make it practical. However, this will hopefully be a one stop shop for all the big deals, plus some smaller gems that might otherwise get lost in the noise. I'll keep this OP updated - please post below if you see something good not in the list. And a general tip - resellers such as JRRshop, AudioDeluxe, Plugin Discounts etc might have additional savings on top of these.

Thanks Jaap - according to the iZotope website they're rolled out week by week, and I wasn't sure all the Best Service prices were yet discounted. So I've added iZotope to the OP with the official line of new discounts each week.

I've been waiting for a deep discount on Adaptiverb but I don't see it on JRRshop, where it's listed for $229 USD. (Ok, it's cheaper than Zynaptiq's site, but definitely not 44% off.)

Yeah, on my JRR shop flyer they definitely say 44% off Adaptiverb but I noticed it was missing on the site - a glitch hopefully.

"Thrill" from N.I. Is calling to me. I'm trying to resist.

Have to agree, Thrill is one of the first such libraries that grabbed my attention. I _could_ create a lot of the same sounds, but this would make it so much faster - and easier! And I'm impressed with the quality of the sounds they used as source material too.

Doing my best to resist this year. Unsubscribed from all music product mailing lists. We'll see how that goes. Do appreciate the effort here though.

Thanks J - and thanks in advance to all for other contributions, I'll add to the OP but it might get boring for everyone if I thank every time as a post But please do take it as read that I am genuinely grateful for all tips here.

Thanks Quasar, added - just to add that I tried Expose last week, and I thought it was truly awful. Red flagged literally everything I threw at it, inc stellar commercial mixes. You've be better off spending $12 on a whip and beating yourself with it non-stop for a month imo. But hey, it's a free trail and YMMV.

LOL. I looked at it and came to a similar tentative conclusion, although their Reference plug (not on sale ATM) does look quite useful, potentially.

I do hope to find time to compare how it responds to proven pro mixes side-by-side in CD 44.1/16b vs. the various lossy formats found on iTunes etc., but I haven't put that together yet. In fairness to any product that tries to do what Expose purportedly offers, it would seem almost impossible to account for all of the file types out there, not to mention changes in styles over time, so-called loudness wars and all of that... But yeah, unless I learn something I don't know now, I'm taking a pass on this too.

Audiority is having a 25% off sale for all of their products, except bundles and this new hardware emulation delay/echo thing called Echoes T7E.

I was really taken with the demo of this, and it's only $29 US on intro, so I bought it:

jokes on you guys, I'm unemployed. I'm down to spare change and guitar picks - so I don't need to worry about resisting deals. I just came here to look at things I won't be able to take advantage of, in some sort of weird mental self whipping - undoubtedly cheaper than guy's link.

Various deals added, thanks again all. Kyle, feel for ya, look out for the freebies in the meantime (e.g. the SoundToys Little Plate - still free for a coupla days - http://www.soundtoys.com/product/little-plate/ )
