In my opinion "high-end plug-ins" often enough equal "scam". With hardware I can easily see how hand made products with selected parts can become expensive for a reason. With "high end EQs" which are based on f**king biquad formulas I can't. It comes at no surprise that these plug-ins combine the one scam with another, in that they are marketed as more valuable than they are, and even discounted they are probably overpriced. To add another axis, sometimes the same plug-in gets repackaged with a different UI and a different name. Does that sound 3D? - Yes it does!Richard_Synapse wrote:This is why 70-90% off deals are so common for high-end plugins.
Surely, these plug-ins still do their job. But the amount of money that is drained from the market and thus from actually innovative developers is ridiculous. But hey, it's obviously not that much of a sustainable model. These shareholder value driven mechanics equal "how fast can we drive into that wall", where all creativity is put into efforts to move that wall further away. Until they can't.
