IK Multimedia - Total Studio 4 Max - My thoughts after $$$

[kmonkey]

Is this how "AI marketing" looks now?

New user with only one post praising IKMM...hmm...seems like an organic post to me.

So how should someone specifically new to the board express his satisfaction about something specific in order not to be called a bot? Please explain.

.. ok.

?

What? shrug and a question for what? The way I read it he is expressing his satisfaction with the specific suite of tools that he purchased. Which is perfectly fine. Why not? Does it have to be controversy or competition each time? At least he is being positive.
No different than when you express the same or dissatisfaction about something else.

He's a brand new account, praising IKM product and "wondering" why there is a hate train against IKM (even through it has been chewed on million times).

Completely normal post, indeed

Bot or not: he has a point.

The only thing disappointing about IK is the weird system for upgrades, if you buy anything for $100 you get the same price as anyone else for the the upgrade, but then there's the seemingly random Jam Points based on what you've bought in the past.

Right now Total Studio Max is $199, I bought into their super sale years ago that turned into 25 for 1, paid about that or a little more for everything in Total Studio. On top of that I have Tonex Capture, an acoustic guitar mic, and ARC 3. I have 71$ in Jam points, but I can only redeem up to 30%. I don't think there's much new in Total Studio I want, Modo Bass and Drum modules maybe, but I'm pretty certain it does not include the Tonex Joe Satriani Amp Vault. This is how people end up mad at them, I can get Total Studio on sale, for $140, or the Satriani Tonex library for $70.

Plus Jam Poins are base on purchase so it becomes confusing how to keep the 30% ratio active.

Beyond that Tonex and Amplitube are fantastic, ARC works, and some of T-Rex is really solid. Most of their new stuff is great.

I'm actually a fan of IKMM and own the Total Studio 4 Max so I don't have an agenda against them. I just don't like faux-hype for any company in the form of fake posts on a forum. Not sure if that is what was happening here but it looks suspicious (especially when they were trashing other companies, their original post was edited to remove most of the trashing though) and that's all I was pointing out.

This post is funny ~ "It looks suspicious" lmao OK inspector gadget its a VST form and im doing a VST purchase review. What should my first post say "I like turtles?" What makes it even funnier is you like the same plugins lol

I keep all the bashing in the OP fake news < https://anarchyaudioworx.com/beef/ < A VST I paid for because it was on sale and only 10mins left faults mine there's a free demo I just didn't have time to grab it and mannn It sounded like a farting air conditioner on the first go. I must say I just tried it again IDK its just not for me but not as bad as I remembered. I was hoping for a Cymatics diablo type and its just not that.

This is some pretty inventive marketing from Anarchy Audioworx.
Kudos.
