Elemental Audio been swallowed up...

I think Voxengo and Kjaerhus have the right price/copyright/quality. Please Aleksey and Torben: Keep that !

Amen to that

It says in the email EAS had send to customers that someone posted a few pages back that EAS will continue developing new plugins, which will be released under the Roger Nichols brand. Either they have a great confidence in this man or they are desperate.

With North Korea on the rampage, depleted Uranium bullets, 9/11, and the Chyrnobl accident, isn't it time to own your own radiation detector? Here is a link to Radiation Alert, from S.E. International, the company that supplies me with my radiation detector needs.

He is a nuclear engineer but he can't spell Chernobyl right in an advertisement?

Roger Nichols is the britney of the audio engineering crowd, simply put his picture on a magazine like EM or Recording or Mix and its sales go way up.

Hes a guy other pro engineers listen to and wanna be like and so now theyll follow suit with the plugins.

So its like a musician you know thatll gig for 200 bucks and then he gets a job with madonna or whatever and now you cant get him for less than like 6 grand a gig, the only thing that changed is the name factor.

I bet it went something like this:

EA Devs: "Well, lets do it this way, if we make 50k bucks within the next year, we will just go on one big holiday and release all our plugs as completely free."

RND:"Hey there, I'm Roger Nichols, world famous engineer. I want to buy your stuff up, what would that cost?"

EA Dev:"Uhm, well, like 60k?"

RND:"No problem, as I have shitloads of money, I can pay you that in cash right now"

EA Dev:"Yay"

RND:"Do you mind if I make them shitty looking, add completely obnoxious copy protection to it and give them names like a 12year old would?"

EA Dev No2:"[whisper]When reasonable people see this, they will rather go with the cracks anyways as they don't have to care about us making money now"

EA Dev:"No no, no problem, just go ahead, we don't mind [pisses himself laughing]"

I really want to know what he paid them

What the saddest thing is that now these plugins will be getting exponentially more praise in forums like gearslutz.com



I mean, cost always correlates with quality, right?

nope, guess you haven't been over to gearslutz to see their reaction...

i started the thread over there, and their reaction is just like mine, which is just like here which is just like everywhere else on the net.

[Sascha Franck]

Maybe it's just clever business tactics.
"Hey, let's raise the price up to 3x, then people will call us names but will be extremely happy when we finally listen to them and lower it to only 2x the original price."

[NuGen Audio]

Well for those of you who are interested (shameless plug warning), we are currently developing a high spec analyser. we are open to any suggestions you may have, so if there is something you desire, send in an email and we will see what we can do!

Hey, I really like your stereo width analyser going right through the frequency spectrum. That's one thing I wish IXL had (it has some nice stereo width meters, but not a width across frequency plot like yours. Very nice!

thanks for the comments, we are working on a couple more features like that, which will probably be in the next beta release.

cheers,

Jon

Are there any developers that are going to remake Neodynium? Thats something I would really like to see, class-A plug there.
