All Audio Damage plugins are on sale - so snap them up

[cron]

Just sprung for Rough Rider Pro and Kombinat DVA. Thanks for the heads up. Signal squashing fun lies ahead!

[highkoo]

Awesome sale, damn.

I must have most of their stuff and the only thing that didnt really really click for me was Axon. Couldnt get my head around that one.
But, literally every other thing they have is fantastic.
Quite a steal at those prices.

[manducator]

Reaper just wouldn't load it.

Oops, and I'm a reaper user...

[munchkin]

Just want to say I really like this company and how they do business... []
...I am now a big fan of their business model, plugins, and support.
IMO, they've got their sh!t together.

I got to say it's the opposite with me.
Though I like the plugins I got, I don't like their business model,
and support - well, it's almost nonexistant !

Or how would you describe it, if you don't get two times a reply anymore asking about an update to Dubstation (the first plugin ported to x64), which
just doesn't work on my system (the ONLY plugin I got, which won't work.)
I reported this a year ago, with an answer, that new installers will be soon available.
What happened...nothing.
BTW, I asked kindly, and there have been other people here on kvr, who wrote
about having issues with Dubstation.

Don't tell them about bugs (it's not their fault), don't ask for updates,
don't ask for demos (which would mean, people could test them before they buy them, and maybe find bugs...God, this would mean, they had to work on fixing them...), just give them your money.

OK, now let Chris Randall join in, telling us this is all bullshit,
and that I'm an asshole.

This says everything about why I will never buy a plugin without being able to demo it. There are plenty of other devs out there creating amazing and cheap FX who provide demo's so why would anyone buy for those who don't?

[allofdrab]

AD don't do demos ... they have a money back if not satisfied policy. DubStation and Richochet are my favourite delay plugins. I'm gonna pick up PanStation later ...

Ok, no demo, no buy.

Having tried the Audio Damage way; I feel the opposite to you:
Screw demo's, just give me the strong impression I can buy it, try it for a good amount of time, and return it hassle free.

The problem with that approach is that I'd like to try a few of their plugins but I don't have the cash to buy them all so how do I test them to see if they're suitable or add a new spin to the dozens of other glitch, delay, filter plugins out there? I'm not wasting my time or my bank balance buying a plugin without knowing what it does and then begging for my money back if it doesn't inspire me. I think it's a shame that AD don't recognise this.

First off, absolutely NO BEGGING is required.
They never asked me to explain why I wanted to return it,
I think that would go against their whole business plan.

With regards to you wasting your time; they have the quickest system setup for moving from purchase to download I've seen. Register once (which doesn't take long), and every purchase and download is a breeze. I've actually purchased, downloaded, installed, and loaded an AudioDamage plugin into a patch while performing! OK, perhaps that shows I'm a bit off the wall, but I did it - fast.

With regards to wasting your bank balance trying a few at once: Don't try a few at once. Try them one at a time if you like. Sure, you have to send them an email each time you want to exchange or return a plugin to try another, but they know they have to respond to your request quickly and respectfully to back up their business model, will be happy that you're trying the plugins out at all, AND you can really give the plugins a workout. Personally, I'm sick of demo restrictions/noise/bleeps/volume dropouts/etc..., that sh!t can make me AGITATED as hell, I'd rather send a quick email.

[antithesist]

In my opinion, the regular prices are excellent.

Yeah, I agree, sometimes. They're certainly in the middle of my normal buy range, but I tend to be at one extreme of that or another and almost always with a good deal compared to regular price.

Typical examples:

DMG pitchfunk: $80 (intro offer with loyalty discount)
NI Retro Machines MK2: $9.50 (sale plus voucher)

Recent bundles I've purchased are similar in that I'm up toward $100 per plug-in/library or down around $10. Anyway, I'm just sayin' because AD is high for my low typical price paid and low for the typical high price. That makes it really hard for me to decide. My $80 to $100 range is for things I really need/want and the $5 to $20 range tend to be for "that might be cool to have for cheap" or a bundle that gets at least one thing in the need/want category.

On other topics, it's their rules: no RTAS, no DEMO, hardly ever on sale, etc. I did the buy to try thing, and while it works it wasn't anywhere as easy or fun as downloading and trying a demo. There again, I might buy blindly at my low price and feverishly demo for the high price.

I'm eyein' the panner this time though. Believe it or not, that would probably be the most useful one of the bunch for me. I'm going to revisit the bundle options, too. It would be nice if they also had some sort of build your own bundle discount.

And yeah, I know I over think things.

My concern is that I'm getting two different experiences of AD support. That's doesn't really inspire confidence in the 'try after you buy' scenario. I agree that some demos are crippled beyond auditioning and are effectively useless but many aren't. A time limited demo would be helpful.

Huh, well I for one don't think you're an asshole based on this post.
I suppose you've pointed out that I'm no authority on Audio Damage.
So, though I've clearly enjoyed my experiences dealing with them, what I say should be taken for what it is - just one customer's experience and related opinions.
In retrospect of what I've written thus far I feel I should at least add - DON'T expect them to get back to you about a return or exchange request right away just because they did with me
I think I had an attack of fanboyitist today.

You can only go by your own experience which is entirely valid. I've also had good support from other devs while others haven't. It can be hit and miss which is why I prefer a properly functioning demo.

Well, sure, but upon reflection of what I've written thus far, I realize I actually haven't had enough experience with AudioDamage to suggest they would always adhere to their business model. I mean, I was kinda suggesting you just jump in and everything would be fine - not my wisest moment. On the other hand, this discussion has led me to understanding and appreciating your views on the benefits of being able to simply try a demo. Seeing both sides of the coin now - not a bad thing.

Reaper just wouldn't load it.

Oops, and I'm a reaper user...

Just bought Tattoo - working absolutely fine in Reaper (x64) for me.

What kind of system do you have and what was the problem?

[hibidy]

considering they are returnable, I should get dr device.

[ezelkow1]

just grabbed axon, those nodes had been calling me for a while. Did notice some odd behavior with it though, seems like the drag up/down to change note value is very sporadic. Sometimes it will change smoothly and then not change at all and then suddenly jump a few octaves

[that was some fast copy/paste without checking, someone else can do the bundles]

Sure, with a little * to distuingish the bundles from each other even though three lines between the info on each should probably be sufficient - I've included the AD bundle pages info about the individual plugins and total price if purchased separately as stated on the webpages (no calculators where harmed in the pasting of this post):

* The Studio Bundle - US $139.00
