Dreadbox on the way, cheers. For the only time of the year when buying more gear actually makes sense.

I really fancied the Erebus ... congrats

[wagtunes]

AAS email just arrived. Only XILS left.

Thanks to all the generous developers for helping make this possible.

I really fancied the Erebus ...

It didn't clicked with me, but I was thinking of building a modular effect unit for a while. One gotta start with a case...

Bastl Instruments have been contacted now, quite the largest product group with 17 payments included - which all are in house.

It would be nice to know which are still pending. (Waiting for Acon Digital here)

Just received an email from synapse audio with license info

[dandezebra]

Received AIR.

Waiting on Sonic Academy and TAL. I'm not trying to rush them though as I know small companies have a lot going on for only a few (or one person!)

Thanks again!

Almost too afraid to ask, but curiosity took over. Almost like our cats
How does PreSonus Studio One look like, have all payments been received?

[o0Ampy0o]

Sorry for the delay in payment.
I was really under the impression that I was outbid on everything.
Luftrum explained that one of them was made after the cut-off time.
All corrected and taken care of now.
Best to all.


As a side note to those wanting to have "donors alphabetized" next year, I suggested that if a number was added to it as they did in the second-hand auction, it is more than enough to help us find it repeatedly. That way, donors still get a motivation to donate early and let Luftrum do this without having it complicated more.

Alphabetizing the list is a simple single automated step. Your number idea does not facilitate the process as it is a random assignment. Whereas alphabetizing allows fresh shoppers to see if an item already in mind is listed and you don’t have to scour the list and record an item number a first time.

Yep, contacted too.

[rickard.zeller]

Great Luftrum,
You are the greatest of the greatest heart.

[Agitator]

I am a little but curious too!

so, what about Softube?

Thanks and greetings

Hi

I've received my Syntorial details. Many thanks to Joe for sending through so quickly.

And another huge thanks to Luftrum, and all who helped with organising this event. Of course, also thanking the developers who have so generously supported the cause.

[o0Ampy0o]

I appreciate the effort involved in this. Thank you all!

One thing I would like to suggest for the future is to alphabetize the items up for bid.

It would facilitate the process for shopper/bidders. After all, even though this wonderful event would not be possible without Luftrum, Luftrum helpers and all of the donators but the bidders/buyers are the source of the funds and spending money is more difficult when you cannot easily find what you are looking for.

Again, thank you all!

The current system has the benefit that new items are easy to find, since they're added at the bottom. Also, ctrl+F is your friend if you know what you're looking for.

Benefits to the whole outweigh the few late additions. This means you have to scour the list to check all your items every time as you monitor bid activity. The late additions can get an asterix or whatever. Once a new addition is noticed the benefit is a burden left as is because it hinders the greater advantage of a streamlined list. Ctrl f requires a scouring and bid action first right? What if you have bid on some items and think of bidding on others later? You might monitor unbid items for days. Alphabetizing the list is superior.
