Well another example off IK Multimedia wasting my time is to offer a €50 off Arc on Ear for €199.99 without vat. With 25% VAT that is €249.99. Since it can't be used with jampoints the offer is worth zero to me because I'm already drowning in useless jampoints. With jampoints the offer is about €237 with vat and that is more than I can get it at thomann with 3 years of warranty. If IK Multimedia made a simple SQL call they could check my amount of jampoints and filter me out of this newsletter offer that has no value at all and just wastes my time.

For month of May the Arc on Ear was 199.99 Eur without VAT and you could have used up to 30% on Jampoints. It ended on June 2. So you only need to check for the right offers.

And so what? On BF it might be on a 40% sale and then in February next year it could be €50 off again in a newsletter. Thomann probably had the sale and cheaper anyway. The point is getting a personal offer that is not an offer wasting customers time.

It didn't. Anyway, then unsubscribe, buy from Thomann and stop complaining. If your time was that valuable you wouldn't spend it here.

You are not to decide whether or not I will state my opinion to a subject here or not just because you can't argue. Since I'm in the IK Multimedia environment I will state what I like or what I don't like especially because IK Multimedia is represented here. You haven't got a clue of what is valuable time for me and I don't have to justify anything for you. You can just set my posts to ignore. Anyone wanting to be taken seriously i a discussion don't become personal.

Uncle E:
Do you also have Zynaptiq's Intensity 2 on sale?
And maybe the upgrade from version 1 to 2 as well...?

It's not currently on their dealer page but I'll keep an eye out for it. They usually don't add dealer promotions until after they're running them themselves.

There's a nice deal 25% off deal on quiet click ergonomic Logitech mice at Amazon.

I injured my wrist a little earlier this week chopping up and rearranging audio in hyperfocus mode. While I already have a nice ergonomic trackball it's been clunky to use with precision---even after adjusting speed---and I'm reluctant to waste too much muscle memory bandwidth on it. Got a Logitech Lift quiet click ergonomic vertical mouse and so far it's great. The click isn't silent but it's a lot quieter and duller than a standard mouse. And I'm finding it very easy to adapt to. It also seems to work pretty well on wood, glass, fabric, and metal surfaces without a mouse pad.

Looking into the forthcoming Fender Motion 16 pad controller (expected to be released in July), I was pleasantly surprised to see it comes with a perpetual license for Fender Studio Pro (the DAW formerly known as Studio One), even though the controller is only $269.99. Wonder if these "FATAR pads" with "unmatched responsiveness" will be comparable in sensitivity to the Maschine MK3 but without the need for specialized drivers and software that will eventually no longer be updated to remain usable with future OS updates. Though I might wait for a good sale on an Erae Touch 2 instead, provided there aren't any or many reports of dead zones and need for repair like there were iirc with the first Erae Touch. Looks like the Erae Touch 2 has actually been out for a bit longer than I'd realized; had been available at Thomann starting July 2025 and first batches were sent out to Kickstarter funders before that.

The 10% global tariffs on goods coming into the United States will expire July 24, hopefully before the new proposed "forced labor" tariffs go into effect. Wonder if there will be any hardware sales to celebrate.
