Did you ever think that just maybe the product description is not actually hyperbole or an exaggeration, and the plug-in actually sounds that good? I haven’t seen anything in the marketing videos by IK or anything in this thread that seems exaggerated.Bombadil wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 9:05 pmI am always wary of marketing hyperbole. If a product is good, it doesn't need the hard-sell. My background is psychology, so I always see, in my mind, focus groups presented with a list of adjectives and told to report the ones that resonate most with them. That amounts to manipulation at the unconscious level. Hell, for all I know, this data can be bought from independent marketing agencies, rather than being done in-house. So, the more hyperbolic the description, the more I am turned off. If the product is 'all that,' then it should sell itself.Squids wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 8:37 pmWell, if price is the concern and you're not in a rush there are always opportunities that come up to get a great deal.Bombadil wrote: ↑Thu Feb 20, 2020 7:52 pm And a good part of the turn-off is the hyperbole and the hard-sell. So when I see things like 'hyper-realistic' and such bullshit, it turns me away. When I see the corporate minions get snippy when people push back that turns me away as well.
That said, I like T-RackS, and use it all the time. I tried the demo, think it is quite good, but not worth the asking price.
And thanks for the free Studer!
But, for what it's worth, I think it'd be a shame for anyone to be 'turned away' from people talking about a product or from what the product descriptions say etc. At the end of the day, and this is just my opinion, none of that should matter whatsoever. The product is part of your system and it either does it for you or not. And I say this as someone who offers a lot of opinions myself. Take it with a grain of salt and just explore. I'm sure you'll discover all kinds of things... like that you can get a free Studer once in awhile at least!
I’ve been playing with the reverb across several of my current mixing projects and it does indeed sound fantastic and definitely worthy of the $149 intro offer considering you get multiple reverbs in one plugin. Just my 2 cents
