Will there be any good discounts to upgrade from Total Studio Max 3 to 4?
no there won't be. your upgrade price is the same as someone buying TS4.
that's the wonderful customer loyalty that you can expect from IK Multimedia!

Total Studio 4 MAX Upgrade is currently 50% off the normal Total Studio 4 MAX upgrade price (as are the other versions: Total Studio 4 and Total Studio 4 Pro)

(loads of spammy copy/paste nonsense removed)
Or, you could just own nothing from that useless list and pay exactly the same price, eh?

And then you must be wondering why people criticize IKM...

There's a huge list of qualifying products for the upgrade pricing, too:
I might buy it if it was more like $99 to move up from Total Studio Max 3.5, but it's about $139 after using jampoints. For now it's a pass for me.

Fair enough though there is a lot added to Total Studio 4 MAX from 3.5, TONEX MAX is a big one that's worth more than the upgrade price currently.
MODO BASS 2 adds fretless, upright basses and grooves
MODO DRUM 1.5’s 13 endlessly customizable drum kits
12 new Syntronik 2 synthesizers
AI-powered Tone Modeling with TONEX MAX

You can use JamPoints for an extra up to 30% off that a new user cannot get. I understand that many are concerned with what deal someone else can get but... sometimes promotions are priced the same for everybody yet loyal customers do still have opportunity for a better deal. Since JamPoints are used on a vast majority of the purchases by loyal users I'd say it is popular among our loyal users.

I see you have a lot of negativity toward IK, if you have a specific issue you'd like to discuss feel free to PM me or reach out via the contact methods available on our web site.

And I see you have a lot of spin involving IK. IK's poor reputation for the way it treats it's customers is well earned. Treat customers with some respect and that might change. I sincerely doubt that will ever happen.

That was a pretty respectful invitation Peter extended to you, but you let it bounce right off you and kept casting aspersions.

A little bonus: add any <$15 Plugin for free to your cart when it has $29.99 or more.
Can use multiple times | No other prices altered prior! | Can be changed anytime
So free things for a charge? :hihi: I understand what you mean (no additional charge -- bundled) but I had to chuckle at that.

Any suggestions for better phrasing would be appreciated.

included at no additional charge

It's just amusing to see add something cheap in the cart for free if you pay double that. But we all know what it really means. It's just most marketeers use the term 'free' quite loosely because it's attractive to the mind to get things without any charge.

Lol. It is not respectful invitation, it is most basic damage control and deflection. It's his job though, I don't blame him.

What would be 'respectful' is if damage control person said "It doesn't matter whether you have any IK products or not, to obtain sale pricing" instead of listing 292 items in a reply, all of which are completely and utterly irrelevant.

That was disrespectful and misleading.

Isn’t there an IK thread somewhere? It’s always the same with their sales. Very polarizing

Hate to see this thread become nothing but an argument with IK/Peter. Doesn’t seem like the right place for that.
