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.
No, some people are just insulted that their loyalty (which you have acknowledged) is often not rewarded to their satisfaction. Those Jam Points were earned from previous purchases and yes I'm sure they're popular with loyal users since they often need to use them to get a better deal than someone who has had no loyalty at all to IK.

In my case it got me $7 even though it looks like my first purchase from Ik was over fifteen years ago and I have 120 entries under "My Products". If I add up all I've spent on TRacks over the years going back to version one on a physical CD it probably would add up to the retail asking price or pretty close.

Most of us have just accepted that's the way you do business so don't get defensive if we get upset at times. Never forget it's not you who is paying our salaries....quite the opposite.

Everything has been discussed publicly many times over the years so taking it private would be pointless. To be honest you'd probably do yourself and IK a favor if you just stayed out if it. At times your pas-agg attitude can do more harm than good.

At any rate even though it didn't leave me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside I purchased T-Racks Max directly from your site so you're welcome....again.

Hate to see this thread become nothing but an argument with IK/Peter. Doesn’t seem like the right place for that.
It's a thread for discussing deals....check out who started it. :wink:

Anyway I've said what I had to say on the subject. Anything further would be pointless so I'm out. :arrow:

"Get any plugin priced at $15 or less for free when you add it to a purchase of $29.99 or more."

A little clunky but I think it gets the point across. Anyway, it's an incredible offer. Plugin Boutique big mad right now.

Might give up then. Don't wanna annoy anyone :wink:
Best deals from Waves, Eventide, SynchroArts, McDSP and more.

PB looks a bit dated, (not enough wasted space, which I unironically love) wish they hired a designer...

But then a lot of music sites (sound on sound...) look like they were made when I wasn't around lol.

I forgot Massenburg plugins, when I learned about them recently, I couldn't believe how they look...

PluginBoutique is making a mistake by pushing downloads through Beatport Studio, and I refuse to install it and thus any plugin that cannot be installed without it.

So why quote me if you’re done. Why the need to announce it.

Some strange quotes this week.

Is it everything, or just that they’re promoting it through their site?

Will there be any good discounts to upgrade from Total Studio Max 3 to 4?
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)

There's a huge list of qualifying products for the upgrade pricing, too:
I understand that it is your job and I am not going to judge you for that Peter, but I agree with what others say. It doesn't seem very fair to your brand's customers. :?

I also thank you. I can wait a little longer with the plugins I already have. :tu:

Not everything, but the scope is likely growing. Developers who have a healthy download portal of their own and use redeemable codes are still outside the scope, but any plugin fulfilled through Plugin Boutique as a direct download is within.

At least some still have direct downloads on Plugin Boutique. I bought two Glitchmachines plugins fairly recently and didn't need to download Beatport or any other third-party software.

How long before that changes?

Have there been cases where they've stopped offering direct downloads for plugins you've already bought? I haven't heard of it, but would be good to know for future consideration.
