Happy Black Friday! Did you get anything?
with the 100 daily emails and other ads we've gotten all month you probably forgot it was Black Friday?
I'm waiting through the numerous website timeouts (which seems to happen every year) to get my "Free" plugins from Waves although I don't think I even used the free plugins from the last 2 years, but that doesn't stop me for some reason. I don't know, this one looked kinda interesting.
I also picked up a couple more UAD plugins (since this is one of the best times of the year to do so). I got the API Vision channel strip and the Culture Vulture (I fall for hardware emulations of hardware I would never buy in real life...). Contemplating Autotune - I hate the thing - but I could get it cheap and it would be a good one to have just in case someone wants to go all out T-pain (and with a UAD plugin I can use it in real-time which doesn't always work for most native plugins and vocalists...).
So did you get anything (yet)?

Re: Happy Black Friday! Did you get anything?
I'm going to get some heavy-duty metal cabinets for organizing stuff around the studio.
Does anyone have any experience with the 2-pack of Tascam headphones that MF always includes in their holiday discounts? They look like cousins of 7506's - are they worth the $30 for the pair?

Re: Happy Black Friday! Did you get anything?
I was/am not impressed with the cheap Tascams I picked up a while ago from MF. They're probably worth the sale price, but I never use them because, well, they sound like $30 headphones.

Not technically BF, but I just got a Schecter Ultracure XIi guitar, at a pretty good discount from one of those places that lists things as “used” but then they arrive clearly new. Pretty nice, no exp with electric twelve strings to compare to.
Technically BF…got a Behringer Super Fuzz pedal…makes a few gnarly sounds and was cheap.
And ordered a cheap Behringer K-2 synth + 3 tier case to hold my synth modules.

Mojave always tries to tempt me but they only knock off 10%. I'm saving my duckets for an Overstayer sometime in the new year.
Re: Happy Black Friday! Did you get anything?
Not really BF anything, but yesterday I found a pair of AT U891RCX boundary mics for like $35 a piece on Amazon Warehouse Deals, which if they actually work and include the cables is a frickin steal. Also an AT2035 for less than $100, which means I'll now have a pair, FWIW.

Vintage Vibe is 25% off everything all weekend. I finally cracked and bought a new amp for my Wurlie 200.

Was hoping Toontrack would have SD3 on sale, but no luck. So I spent the same amount of money on a reconditioned Herman Miller Mirra chair for my office, which I'm converting into "studio b", a cozy little writing/practice room. Should arrive today.
It's a sure sign you're getting old when a good chair is more exciting than a new eq or compressor.

Re: Happy Black Friday! Did you get anything?
I got the Rupert Neve Designs compressor a few weeks ago, so I'm done buying for a while...

Re: Happy Black Friday! Did you get anything?
^^^^ Nice! I really liked the one I played in GC, would've bought it except the neck was just a little too chunky for my little paws.
I got mine from this place. Just arrived, perfect condition. Yay!

We have the Husky brand cabinets at the studio and they have been really great.
I have one at home too for bike parts.
Re: Happy Black Friday! Did you get anything?
I recall reading about Zappa putting a Pignose in a metal cabinet drawer, so there's that.
Re: Happy Black Friday! Did you get anything?
Actually, I bought a couple of guitar straps that were discounted about 50%. I picked up a new acoustic, and I'm running low on straps.
