The (unintended?) consequences of having spend limits. At the very least they could allow you to use the bigger value vouchers as a $25 voucher. Ultimately what will happen is they will review in 6 months and see if they have sold more product than the same period last year. If they have then the 'experiment' worked....if they haven't then they will (should) reconsider. In the meantime my $75 voucher sits idle. yet more First World Problems 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever odd it sounds I believe it is more beneficent to provide good quality plugins to lots of guys who do not appreciate it enough or even use it (lol? than keep it with high prices to let buy them only by several who fully understand their awesomeness. BTW I am curious what would be world like without 29 Revolution ? Maybe, paradoxically not so bad for us? Not so tempted by prices we would have only few plugins which we could master and also more focus on music creation than not letting any excellent deal to be missed? 🙄 But well, my name is Piotr, I am addicted to plugin shopping... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very curious of them... They question is how much income per month they can grab having plugins at let say average price $199 and how much at $49? They cannot obviously decrease 'catalog' prices not to kill deal effect but is it really only their generosity a reason for sales? While I am still grateful for them I am doubting Also let's notice some old plugins are still great (many records we like were probably produced with them so there are more and more great plugins to chose between... And will be even more... So to be able to sell they need to refer to market and be up to date... Anyway PA is one of the most tuning its price policies last years. They are still adjusting, evolving, learning, grabbing stats, adjusting. Valhalla is always at $50, no sales, but any their plugin is just $50 , So they don't waste time for looking at market and adjusting Setting prices to premium world and high level will need always to use sales as a tool for grabbing instant attention... Like: My God, it is so great plugin and it is only for ...$ now with 75% discount , I need to inform also my friend at once not to let him miss this incredible deal, etc... And of course we have different approach with subs providing small but constant income from a user, it needs to be small to get as many users as possible to collect enough money to make sense for it... But true we are kind of subconsciously treating low price we met as kind of referral. So they need to be careful with it Waves forced 29Revo to market with all consequences not only for them but also for competitors... It is possible it was planned... Anyway often manufactories which are producing and selling with small prices but with huge volumes are overcoming those which have politics premium things needs high price - no premium otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I lost a sale on a plugin with a great price this kind of sets my threshold point for it. I normally wait all the time needed to get this plugin for this price or lower. Of course, sometimes I cannot resist. But this has happened very occasionally 🙂. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IK group buys bring out the worst in me. I've lost interest in Waves because their scheme just brings confusion. Having so much stuff is getting overwhelming. I see more videos of people using stock plugins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizzie Foster Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I was okay with the $14.99 price. But then I realized I already own it. Sigh. I don't really use the PA stuff much. There's 2 or 3. But I'm also a hobbyist without a lot of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
