You are completely right, and I didn't express myself properly. The car market in Germany and Austria is oversaturated especially since the arrival of japanese cars in the late 90s and now with all the korean cars taking over quite a marketshare, while the world market is growing due to poorer countries getting access to carsstratum wrote:I'm not sure that comparing plugins with cars is a good idea. The last time I had checked Hyundais still had transmissions made in japan, and China dumped a lot of money on automatic transmissions and yet failed to make one, and they have bought a factory from Australia instead. It's not exactly an oversaturated market. There are many brands but they use the same parts. This is quite different from creating just another EQ that needs to be differentiated with marketing buzzwords.
Klanghelm has exquisite interfaces, a really cheap price, and a clear product line and a homepage that while not being up to date in terms of design , is really clear in terms of price and functions of the plugins.Scotty wrote:Like many people here my plugin folder is overstuffed. The free and high quality choices alone that we have are staggering. Regardless the plugins that I have purchased of late all have excellent user interfaces, nice preset selection, and inspire me to use them. My two examples would be Tantra and Seventh Heaven.
I disagree with some of the posters here who think that the products need hyped up marketing behind them. There is a robust audio press that reviews products and you can find some nice understated gems from small developers who don't have the resources to broadcast with NI level gimmickry by reading reviews. I would put Klanhelm and Kazrog in this category. Their quality speaks for them.
Just my two bits and I would like to hear from other why they bought certain plugins.
While I agree that you don't need a hyped up marketing, you still need a products that are clearly laid out, or it will come to consumer confusion. Something that Voxengo obviously experiences because the conversation rate is going down.
Thanks sparkysparks for the kind words.
