IK Multimedia's Comprexxor giveaway

[twoifbysea]

The survey was easy enough. It takes longer to clear out all of the plugins you don't own, after using their damn installer. But is was worth it. The compressor sounds really nice. Thanks IK!

I guess sales of Comprexxor didnt go so well. I expect the price to drop over time and the deals to get better and better. However Comprexxor was released May 2021 and is only 15 months old. It went from $130 to $0. I've been noticing this more often with plugins that the dev depreciates their value a lot quicker these days. I supposes thats a good thing for bargain hunters like me. If you can wait a year usually you can save at least 50% or more in general with plugins, from my experience.

I got it free in the Grope Buy last September. Their business model works for them, notwithstanding the minor horde with pitchforks and torches. Which has yielded improvements.

Has nothing to do with sales, we wanted to give people something nice for taking a survey is all. There were definitely people internally who argued this was "too generous" and I guess they were right if this is what people automatically think.

People automatically think "thank you".

[TheD20]

Thx IK! So very generous of you to do this!!!

I took the survey and Comprexxor was never added to my account (and I didn't own it already). Opened a support ticket and haven't heard anything back. I know it's free but I've spent a ton of $$ with IK so kind of a bummer.

That’s very generous, thanks IK.

But did I get this right, I have to download T-RackS to be able to use it? (Honest question)

[gentleclockdivider]

Is it just install and go or does it require installing additional software ( license centers etc...) ?

Fair question and sorry I should have addressed it because I'm pretty sure it was asked earlier in the thread - yes you need to install T-RackS and yes at this time it installs all of T-RackS. I'm told that will be changed in the next full release (so v6). Thank you.

Product Manager which manages the installation and authorization, T-RackS 5, and the Custom Shop.

I can’t get to the link no matter what I try. I just go to a main page and it tells me about JamPoints.

[edit] I guess I had to accept the offer to get the other offer. Logging in and out fixed it. Thanks!

It's what I automatically think. I am not thinking for other people, however so I warn against doing any statistical analysis at this point.
