At Audio Deluxe you can add an extra 10% discount on FabFilter (and maybe others) using code BFCM10
I’ve lusted after ProQ4 so I went for it and the code worked.

Arguably my two favorite developers, VI Labs and Acousticsamples, probably won't have their BF sales until actual BF, since they're classy like that... just fyi, for anyone who's been lusting for such gems as Modern D or VBrass!
I might actually, finally, get an Ivory piano this year, specifically Ivory 3 Hamburg. We'll see. I hemorrhaged a lot of money last month tracking my group's fifth studio album, but Synthogy hasn't discounted these quite so much in the past, I don't think, and Ivory is one of the only top-tier piano VIs I don't already have.
Otherwise, I don't think there's much of anything tempting me this year. What I really need is to just... finish this record! Just finished preliminary audio editing yesterday, now it's time for some (not too excessive) overdubs!

Hope you post a track or two when you wrap!

Big year for me so far-the Weiss MM-1, ProQ 4, FutureVerb and the Omni 3 upgrade (not purchased yet but I talked it over with Spectrasonics support and I know the procedure for moving the Steam folder to another drive, so it’s just a matter of direct download or buy it from a store.)
The above is my equivalent of a mad buying spree and I have a feeling that I’m not…quite…done. Wheee!!

If you pick me up, we could fly over the Grand Canyon before breaking the lap record at Laguna Seca. All in one day!

Oooh, give us a report in the gear section on the M3 ultra - you were on an M2 mini before, right? Curious to know how big the difference is in practice.

Sure.
My template loads in negative space time, usually only observed in quantum physics when particles appear to interact before they are fully absorbed, but I overclocked the CPU by 1200 % and had to upgrade the copper cooling system to liquid HE, circulating the CPU and other components to prevent overheating and to enable unique quantum properties.
Bouncing 1h47m, 400 tracks plus multitude of plugins took 0.0465 seconds, and while this can be optimised further, I am sorta satisfied with the outcome so far.

51 Kg. But I can loose half of that in less than the canine life span.

Likewise! Last year I did not buy anything during Black Friday and also no big plans here, but this one got me interested.

No! Weaken!
To update RX11 Standard to Advanced (or RX10 Advanced to RX11 Advanced) would cost me £230 in their "best sale of the year". And for what? There's hardly anything unique to RX11 Advanced.
By contrast, Spectralayers has some incredible tools which I simply don't have anywhere for little more than half the price. I think Spectralayers has finally come of age.
