May 2020 Sales and Hardware/Software Deals

Whereas I only got into the market for these recently and I am enjoying taking advantage of their offers (plus I didn’t get notified by email because I usually opt out of them).

Whether the price should be nearer $400 or the on-sale $100 for what it is, I’ve no idea and I too would normally prefer a company to simply offer reasonable pricing all the time than this yo-yo.

Still, I feel like I’m getting a bargain!

I own Izotope RX and three of the Elements products but didn’t see anything about the upgrade on the website, or about upgrade availability when I logged into my account. :man_shrugging:

But they are advertising on Twitter and the website a new Music Maker’s Bundle sale for $49 that includes:

  • BreakTweaker + Expansions
  • Stutter Edit
  • Trash 2
  • Iris 2
  • Nectar Elements
  • Neutron Elements
  • Ozone Elements
  • RX Elements

That’s a steal if you make music.

Affinity is still having their entire software product line (Publisher, Designer, and Photo, for all platforms) half price. This is $25 for Mac or Windows, $10 for iPadOS. Offer expires May 20. They have also extended their free trial periods to 90 days, but of course if you don’t buy by the 20th you don’t get the discount price.

Yes, thats an awesome deal. I am on the fence deciding if I should just get it while it’s available :slight_smile:

Groupon is offering 3 months of Pandora Premium (normally $29.97) for free, activation info sent by email.

HoudahSpot is 14 years old and has a sale with 28% discount. Use the couponcode HS14ANN at checkout.

HoudahSpot is a great tool for searching. It is currently at version 5. For some recommendations see the MPU thread on Houdahspot (just after this version was announced).

Two nice integration highlights:

I can fully recommend this software.

I had seen somewhere that you could get a $99 CROSSgrade from any iZotope product which is a great deal but I never saw the $99 upgrade which is a crazy deal since there are constant deals for $29 Elements offers all the time.

Are you sure it was an upgrade?

Yes, I’m seeing select Izotope crossgrades around the net, no upgrades. For example on Reddit I saw that JRRshop (which I’ve bought from over the years) has the iZotope “RX 7 Standard Crossgrade” from any paid iZotope/Exponential Audio Product for $83.16 with code: GROUP

If you need the Standard RX for audio restoration/editing and own any of the Elements apps it’s a fair deal. If you need the Standard RX and don’t own any Izotope apps yet, check out the $49 bundle I mentioned above, the other day - still a good deal in total.

FYI the differences between RX Elements and the Standard RX are:

Elements: De-click, De-clip, De-hum, Voice De-noise, Third-party plug-in hosting, Batch Processor, Fade, Find similar, Gain, Mixing, Module Chain, Module list filters, Normalize, Phase, Signal Generator, Spectrogram, Recording and monitoring

Standard adds: Music Rebalance** , Breath Control, De-bleed, De-crackle, De-reverb, De-plosive, De-ess, Interpolate, Mouth De-click, Spectral De-noise*, Spectral Repair, RX Connect, RX Monitor, Variable Time NEW, Variable Pitch IMPROVED, Dither, EQ, Resample, Composite View, Instant Process

Also, PluginBoutique (also a stellar shop) offers a similar $199 crossgrade for the Tonal Balance Bundle (Ozone 9 Advanced, Nectar 3, Neutron 3 Advanced). Niche apps for mixing and mastering, but they’re among the best around for those tasks.

Yes. I just got RX7 and I had RX 7 Elements.

I can’t seem to find this on the iZotope site. Is there any way you can point me to find the $99 upgrade price from RX7 Elements to Standard? Thanks!

Try this.

Or log in and check there

I’m currently using the 14 day trial as my eligibility lasts the whole month. I think I’ll bite.

I have the same issue - as I said I already own an old version of RX, as well as three of the Elements products, and there’s no upgrade listed under my Izotope account either. (And there’s no notice of this deal on Izotope’s main page or on Twitter either.)

However, the anything-Elements-to-RX crossgrade deal is on at JRRshop for $83.16 with coupon.

Try this link. https://www.izotope.com/en/shop/loyalty-deals-ele.html?utm_medium=Email&utm_source=ACS&utm_campaign=2020.05+Customer+Appreciation&utm_content=Elements+Owners&utm_term=Launch&deliveryName=iZo05.05.20MayCampaignLaunchSeg9DM

If that does not work, Login into your account on Izopte.com, Click on Account --> Loyalty Offers. It should list all the deals.

Send them an email, I could well imagine that a company as well set up for discounts as this one would be able to add a loyalty discount to your account if for some reason your matrix of purchases doesn’t trigger it automatically.

Thanks. I do have RX7 Standard as an upgrade so it doesn’t show as an option. But I will alert some people that I know would be interested in this deal because it’s insane.

With Automatic going belly up in the Car Telematics arena it looks like Nonda is filling the void. They’ll send you their 60 dollar OBD-II sensor for free you just pay the shipping (8.74 for me).

I know one thing I’m not paying for the hardware upfront on stuff like this. Get yours …2 days left

Nonda OBD 2 Sensor for free

[iOS] PDF it All Document Converter (Convert Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Web pages and photos to PDF) is free.

[iOS] LumaFusion (the most popular mobile video editing app for iOS) price drops, from $29.99 --> $19.99

Latest Bundlehunt Spring Sale is going on HERE. Looks like I’m gonna get PopChar X for a song and when the next version comes the upgrade will be cheap.

Those that want to try Textexpander a 1 year license is 7 bucks.

A Better Finder Rename 11 is a solid upgrade. I already have it and it’s instrumental in renaming files in any scheme I want. What I like is that I can do thousands of renames in bulk and the programs chews through them. The Finder rename bogs down once you get to a few hundred renames.

Avoid VideoProc at all costs. It’s not a bad app but they’re scammers. I did a clean install of Catalina and when I plugged in my “Lifetime” license for VideoProc it didn’t work. I emailed support and they wrote back

“ Hello,
Thank you for contacting Digiarty.

The license is disabled as it exceeded the limits of registering more than it is allowed.

I am wondering if you are interested in the below offers ?

(This special offer is only from Customer Support.)

Can you believe this ISHT?

Of the current Bundlehunt apps I own

  • PopChar
  • A Better Finder Rename
  • A Better Finder Attributes
  • Waltr 2
  • Softorino YouTube Converter 2
  • Commander One PRO
  • Photo Editor Movavi
  • iStat menus

I use all but the last three. I greatly prefer Forklift to Commander One, and I can’t remember the last time I launched Photo Editor Movavi. And I’ve found I really didn’t need iStat menus, whose features I did use are in my copy of CleanMyMac X.

Before Lightroom added rename-on-import I constantly used ABFR to rename all my image files to their date&time, down to the millisecond (useful in cases when I was shooting multiple fps), but it usually only gets use today when I want to prepend info to file names, or rename files for sharing. I barely use ABFA but it’s occasionally useful. I use Waltr for iPhone backups. And I use Softorino at least once a week to pull down videos from major sites (YouTube, Vimeo, DailyMotion) and to snag audio-only from online videos as well. I’ve had PopChar sitting in the corner of my Finder window for many, many, many years - love it.
