They've always sold it on the cheap, they sold it for ~20 a couple years ago during namm and messe. If someone spent 100$ on it, well I guess they just dont do any research into purchases
Super good deal though for those that eventually want the full product. Since they have 1/2 off upgrade sales you could basically get s1v2 pro for 155$ or producer for 55$

Seeing how they devalute their own products, I would hardly pay more than 30 bucks for an upgrade.

Bought the Goldbaby pack and had a quick play with it. All sounds very good and it's handy to have more sounds all loaded up in Impact ready to go.standalone wrote:I don't have them, but there are a couple of audio demos here:audientronic wrote:Thanks for the heads up..EnGee wrote:Presonus Today only deals:

Well, I'm not sure they are actually devaluing their products. These kind of deals appeal to people like me who have absolutely need for more stuff. Especially when they are already well covered in a particular area.Numanoid wrote:ezelkow1 wrote:Super good deal though for those that eventually want the full product.

I certainly was tempted to grab it for 5$ even knowing that I have no need for it and might not use it very much. But in the check-out saw that they have no Paypal or Google wallet option and skipped it as I rarely tend to give out my credit card number during those impulse buys.
But then again, if I had bought and maybe liked it I could even have upgraded later and so on... So not at all necessarily devaluing a product.
No signature here!

Kinda weird as pretty much my thoughts as well though when I got to the payment page they did have paypal so I went ahead and bought. Not at all sure I'll ever use it though but it does seem to have good reviews so who knows....robotmonkey wrote:Well, I'm not sure they are actually devaluing their products.

That's funny, there was no Paypal option for me either. I purchased the Goldbaby soundset using my pre-paid card, very handy for internet.chrisby wrote:Kinda weird as pretty much my thoughts as well though when I got to the payment page they did have paypal so I went ahead and bought.

I wonder why they offer Paypal payment only for some people, maybe it depends on your location. I'm in Europe.
The orders are dealt by Plimus, a company specialized in on-line payments. So using your credit card wouldn't be as dangerous as if it were Presonus who did it, but using a pre-paid card is a lot safer in any case.

I don't see no 1/2 upgrade sales. Am I missing something?Numanoid wrote:ezelkow1 wrote:Super good deal though for those that eventually want the full product. Since they have 1/2 off upgrade sales you could basically get s1v2 pro for 155$

As for the devaluation, it's true, once you get used to getting bargains like this you start thinking twice about paying the usual price, especially
if you're in not in a hurry to get the product. I own 3 DAWs right now, including the Artist edition that I bought yesterday, so I guess I can wait for the next jackpot

I had the same problem yesterday morning. No PayPal option. "Luckily" i had some problems with my credit card and couldn't purchase for hours. I had some problems with the "Remove Products" from the Cart as well and I cleared my browser's cookies in order to refresh it.

hours later the PayPal option was there (and I live in Europe also)!
I suggest you try the same. Clear your browser's cache&cookies, restart it, and see what happens. I've checked out the website and I see the sale is still ON.

So it could be just a glitch after all. I already purchased but it's good to know for people that were put back by the lack of Paypal option.

Well what do you call it when selling it at 95% off ? Obviously it looks like the regular value at 100 bucks is vastly overpriced?robotmonkey wrote:Well, I'm not sure they are actually devaluing their products.
Lets say I was a user that had bought it at full price.
And then x numbers of people get into the deal at 5 bucks.
And then for some reason or other I need to get some help from Presonus support.
Would it take longer or shorter time to get that support request handled, seeing that suddenly x numbers of other users suddenly have got the same software, and may need support as well?
I doubt selling software at 5 bucks a pop will give them a lot of funds to add staff to their support dept.

luckily it was a one day only affair and i think they are putting their money on potential upgrade customers.Numanoid wrote:Well what do you call it when selling it at 95% off ?

nevertheless 5$ is a strange decision. i wonder if it's legal because it could be considered a dumping price and
unruly competitivity.
the 100$ price tag is normal for this kind of package, considering the market for intro daws. i played with S1 these
past few hours and all I can say is that I'm really impressed and left craving for using it with my plug-ins
