Free Mastering The Mix Limiter on April 1, 5pm GMT
Looks like they are giving away 25,000 free copies tomorrow, April 1, at 5pm GMT. I just asked Alexa and that's 10am here in California, so I guess I'll go ahead and give it a shot then.
Looks like this has gone LIVE already.

UVI Xtreme FX 2 released... $149... intro is $99... but upgrade is $49
https://www.uvi.net/xtreme-fx-2
VIDEO
Okay... I have the original version and I'm pretty stoked about this. 12GB of samples. $99 intro price... normally $149, but if you log on to UVI, depending on what you may already own by them you may see the price drop to $49. That's what mine is. Yeah... I think I'm gonna go for it.

Be forewarned about Xtreme FX 2. There are some missing samples in three of the instruments. I've reported this to UVI.
So far I found the following instruments have missing samples:
• Activities > Sports
• Machines > Sirens
• Places > House
And also, for what it's worth I'm wondering why "Transportation > Horns" doesn't contain any actual horn sounds?
My install went find and I ran an integrity check and it says it's okay. I don't think this is just me.

Synthmaster 3 is in alpha right now and they are offering pre-release pricing. You actually get an alpha version to downlaod when you purchase. I had Synthmaster 2 so the upgrade was $29. They hope to have the shipping version released by end of Pril but who knows how that goes. So far version 3 is VST3 and AU only. No AAX yet if you have Pro Tools, but since v2 had AAX, I'm assuming that's planned.

AAS Objeq Delay normally $139 for $9.99 plus Free U78 Saturator
So this looks like a real no-brainer. Go to "My Account" at Plugin Boutique and click on Rewards and there's a coupon code for Objeq Delay which reduces the price to $9.99. Sometimes you have have to reload the page after clicking "I WANT THIS COUPON" and then you will see it next to the picture of the plugin.
As a bonus you get Audifed U78 Saturator as a free gift right now.

Behringer has a new free VI out. Be forewarned their site is jacked up right now so you may have problems registering the free license, but you can at least download it. I don’t know if it works in demo mode for a while or what. I haven’t installed it yet.
https://plugins.musictribe.com/behringer/0723-AAD
I even make some NKS support files for it, attached. Be warned. No audio previews or tagging.

Given B-word's track record (generally, and specifically with software), that'll be a hard pass from me.
Fortunately, there isn't anything on offer there that I don't already have covered better with other free VI's.
Still, thanks for linking it. Might be just the right thing for someone.
