Would you ever pay more than $29.99 for a Waves plugin? If you wouldn’t, you’re proof that over-discounting devalues products.

Considering Waves' plugins are virtually always on sale, I'm not sure if that's a good example of how (normal) sales work. It's more of a psychological thing which is supposed to permanently imply that you made the bargain of the century.

I don't think that it's a very good idea in the long run either. They seem to rely on two things: Endorsements by "professionals" and never ending 80% off sales. I'm not sure how long that's going to work. It speaks volumes to me that they tried to go subscription only.

Eric, with all the respect.... Waves plugins (and simular type of "mass delivered soft" is not worth more than $29. The day´s that waves was $10000 and the "ultimate first choice of premium bla bla bla" is long due. Sorry if I sound a but ..... But that is my opinion. Take SSL for example. They are selling their stuff for $250 (average) and some plugs are up in the $400 range. Then they are pulling $29 sales every 14 days (hello, who the F do they think they are fooling?

Fair enough. Maybe Waves was too much of a stretch (I was looking for an extreme example ). But I can tell you that our Diva sales have dropped by 90% since the NI sales.

Got this in my mail:

Hi,

Apologies for the delay in processing your TAL Software license.

We are waiting on the US Distributor to provide more licenses and have been told they are waiting on TAL Software.

We appreciate your patience.

FYI I just got the code for the freek IK Tape 80. Great tape emulation by the way. Looks like its just a clogged pipe.

Somebody wake up TAL

[mi-os]

Is it really that hard to understand? These absurdly low prices are adverse for TAL in the long run. It's hurting his company. TAL prices are reasonable to begin with. Hence he never discounts his products the same way as others, like 29 down from 299. It wouldn't make economic sense. These plugins aren't just simple saturators either.

I've bought three TAL products so shut your gob!
I've received an email too about the delay, and also got the IK stuff which I couldn't delete from my basket, and don't give a crap about.
Why couldn't they have sent the apology earlier? Baffled.

You're bang on the money. They are synths / samplers.

[mi-os]

so shut your gob!

Was this directed at me?

Dear Customer,

You spent how much with us? $11? We even gave you a free IK Multimedia plugin. Yet here you are bitching away on the internet. Do you seriously have nothing else to do? Do you really think we give a s**t about your measly $11? We'll get around to it when we're good and ready.

Now f**k off and leave us alone.

I agree.

I can't see how it doesn't. You are literally setting the floor value for the software by reducing it.

Also those of us that buy software tend to be quite informed as to the pricing.

Plugin alliance are another example of devaluing their product. I'd never pay more than 30 for one of their plugins since I'm guaranteed that anything they release will eventually reach that.

This rude entitlement mentality is disgusting. Some people have absolutely no shame.

A bit of insight from a thread on Reddit:

Can you post the link to this?

https://www.reddit.com/r/AudioProductio ... m/k3q4dqp/

This doesn't read right as it gives the impression multiple resellers were affected due to lack of notification from Patrick, whereas this price appears to be an Audiodeluxe exclusive for their anniversary.

I read it as this debacle with audiodeluxe leaving other resellers looking unfavourably at TAL.
