Responding to your feedback, I've updated the poll to accept 5 selections.
I bought Komplete 8 ultimate and maschine used for cheap, great set of synths and instruments
If you don't mind me asking, was the decision to buy based on the price?

Also, where did you find out about the availability of the bundle/kit? Was it through a place like SOS Classifieds / KVR Market place, word-of-mouth or somewhere else? :)
Yes, it was the right quantity at the right price and no it was through the buy/sell board here on DSF

Sweet.

Based on several responses both here and on KVR that a decent route to market is to sell via directly forums (possibly offering forum specific discounts) :)

Really? I don't think I've ever had Massive crash...or really any vst.

Komplete 7
Izotope ozone3/4(soon5)Trash
Ohmicide
Fabfilter effects bundle
Camelphat
Uad solo card,pultec,moog filter
Waves,api collection,classic compressor bundle
psp master comp,vintage warmer 2
audio damage replicant
Sugarbytes wow
Arturia synth collection

I think thats it lol.To be honest i never download demos,normally i'll read shit loads of reviews before buying,i used to buy for the sake of buying but am now more reserved.
I think the main thing for me when buying a plugin is the manual,i will spend the time with plugs to get to know the gui,its sound and what it can bring to the table in ways of performance for me.To get the best out of plugs the manual should be in an easy to follow fashion and aimed at beginner users so you can get the basics down before really setting about the plug.
Also support,Native Instruments for me have fantastic support also audio damage are fantastic too.Replicant is a bitch for crashing logic so i emailed them and they were back to me within hours and also responded to all my reply's.
Obviously sound quality and features are probably the most important part of any plug but really ease of use and detailed manuals are on par imo.

A bunch, and I look at price/value, and UI. Also the character of the dev plays a very large role, some people have pride in their work, and I always try to support people that give a fuck, because most, do not.
