kitekrazy Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 1 hour ago, Matthew Sorrels said: My worst purchase was most likely Fl Studio's All Plugins upgrade. I got FL Studio in the charity auction (so that was good) and shortly later (I had barely installed FL Studio after the Halloween Auction) they started offering a big discount on the upgrade to the All Plugins version. Like an idiot I didn't read the fine print that they had removed the VST versions from the All Plugins as part of this "sale". Not the end of the world, but it sure has soured my impression of Image-Line. Also drives home the fact I really don't need/won't use all these DAWs. Now that Cakewalk has articulations I'm not even using Nuendo/Cubase very much anymore. Most of the FL plugins are never updated and some don't work in other DAWs. I have their everything bundle with VSTs. At least you have 2 DAWs where you never have to pay for upgrades. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zargg Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 For me it was Steven Slate Drums 5. Having SD3, it has just felt useless (so far). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennywtelejazz Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) I want a new guitar so I reach in the closet and grab an old guitar I've had for years and now I pretend it's a new guitar .... I thought about getting The New Spark Amp . Then I remembered to go to my closet and pull out my Yamaha THR 5 and Mini Katana ... I took all the money I would have spent on the Spark and took my dog to the vet , got him all his shots and licensed him . Then I bought a $ 60 dollar bag of Science Diet dog food just for him ... I thought about buying a new pedal just because I want a new pedal , so I walk over to my fire place and I look at the 5 brand new pedals I bought and I say even though I haven't touched them in months because I'm to lazy to set them up ...I still want a new pedal since I'm bored with knowing those 5 pedals are on my fireplace so I go and track down my former gigging pedal board and pull off one pedal from the board . I even used that one pedal for most of my guitar tones on my last few songs just by turning all the pretty little knobs until I found a sound I liked ... I wish this story had a happy ending but it doesn't .. You see all this musical productivity and extreme gear purchase frugality started to wear my out . I started to wish I had best friend of the female persuasion .... Then I realized I'll never get a girl anytime soon because I'm way to Cheap .....?

TracingArcs Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Not the worst. But a real disapointment was IKM TRacks 5. I've used Sony Soundforge for so long. And I'm able to use so many other plugins within it. I find TR5 always seems to run hot. Wants to blast the files as if the "loudness" wars never ended. I like the modules and have found I tinker in TR5 then finish in Soundforge anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love their plugins, but everything they do business wise is terrible, not to mention that IK plugs have almost ZERO resale value...and that doesn't include the Jampoints they take BACK when you sell one of their products... Their business model is making them one of the WORST investments a person can make...with Waves coming in a close second... You are forgetting the 180 day expiration date for sound downloads. Expired? You have to pay 10 bucks to have the download again for 180 more days. Not only that's dodgy as heck, but you can also have sounds for free products expire as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's actually a $20 per year IKM subscription to maintain perpetual access to your sounds. Unless you buy an external USB hard drive and archive them all. So it's a at least a couple of years to break even if you buy an extra drive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bapu Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 My worst purchases is when I buy some plugin that I already have but forgot to check my inventory. I seem to do that at least once a year. The (tell myself) upside is that it was an irresistible item at the time, twice. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you really want to know who your best friend is, lock your woman in the garage with the dog and go out for the day. When you get back, open the door and see which one is still pleased to see you... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
