It seems like audioMIDI is upping their number of deals, the XILS-lab deal was just announced and now they’re offering Nomad Factory Analog Trackbox for $15. Offer ends 12/06/09 at midnight.

Not to take anything away from Analog Trackbox at all, and I bet a large quantity of each plug-in is sold in these kind of deals, but with too many it’s only a matter of time before people will actually start thinking about if they actually need the plug-ins they’re buying just because they’re cheap.

I haven’t tried the Analog Trackbox, let us know if you have.
