Boom Library StereoLab plugin (normally $89) FREE for limited time
Apparently this company is giving away their StereoLab plugin. I read on another forum today that they're only giving away 10,000 licenses and then it stops. Be forewarned that their site is getting slammed hard currently. I had to add to cart and then wait a minute or two for it to respond, then go to my cart... same one or two minute wait. So it is slow. Also requires iLok account.
THE HASSLE-FREE & MOST FLEXIBLE STEREO PLUG-IN
Seize control over your stereo imaging with this one-stop stereo plug-in. Keep your sounds three-dimensional and dynamic by using STEREOLAB to morph your mono signal into a full-range stereo sound, or shrink your wide field into a coherent, single mono mix. With left/right independent panning, mid-side gain, left and right delays to create interaural time differences. STEREOLAB truly is an all-in-one stereo-mono plug-in that is a must-have on every FX chain.

There was some clarification later by Kirk, that the libraries may still be sold through a third party site authorized to do so, but are not supposed to every be sold for as big a discount again. YMMV.
I ended up grabbing Kinetic Percussion Motion Engine for $59. But there will be other things for sale I'm sure now and over next days.
... and use the coupon code "GROUP" at checkout it will drop the price down to $117.31. And if you want it to hurt even less, you can do PayPal "Pay in 4" at JRR, and do four interest free payments.
This is a pretty banging deal. I have a Console 1 Mk2 so I think I'm gonna go for this since it is Console 1 ready. Normally $149. On sale for $29. Use the promo code OPTO29 at checkout to drop the price by $120!!
Sad news. Rigid Audio (awesome name, BTW) is going out of business.
RA has provided inexpensive access to very cool libraries through their frequent sales. They also released a Kontakt GUI Maker software that seems quite cool (it's included in the bundle). After I added the Everything Bundle to the cart, I noticed there were some additional freebies that I don't think were included in the bundle, but were easily accessed from the same page: Cinematrix, Interference, Synferno, Stompbox, Shimmer Strings, Rigid Grand, Lupus, Nylons
This is a staggeringly good deal; and I suppose a nice way to show a little love before they close their doors. Dang. It's always heartbreaking when a great developer who clearly loves what they are doing has to close up shop.
Just a heads up, the bundle doesn't appear to have a unified download, so I'm having to download each of the libraries individually. They roughly range between 500 MB and 4 GB. So it's kind of a project.
Also, the downloads don't seem to include anything in the way of documentation (other than a couple Troubleshooting pdfs that are included with most downloads). As a side project, I'm going to the various product pages and gathering info on each library, one at a time. That's kind of a chore, but I can't complain given the price and range of tones.

I have a whole bunch of their libraries, and honestly they were always blowing them out and ridiculous prices. I'm almost not surprised they're going out of business. I don't know how they could survive charging so little. I should check to see what's in the Everything Bundle that I don't already have and decide if it's anything I want. Like I said... I have a TON of their libraries already.
Took a while to download them all. I was listening to a few and these are super creative. Both the quality of the samples, and the expert use of Kontakt's features. It is a shame that so much work went into these libraries, but they were not selling as well as they should.
I wonder if I need to install and authorize them before they shut down.
