Many of us have been discussing various strategies of participation. Some work better than others. It's a fun topic. No worries here. Still - some people joined at high tiers, hoping for 15-20 freebies, as a cheaper alternative to TS3 Max. They'll be pleased to know they don't have to worry ✌️ 1 hour ago, Peter - IK Multimedia said: As more freebies pile up, more people are interested. That is a factor, but just one of them. I'm a data guy. Professional habit: I've looked at, and commented about, the participation rate before (in light of previous years). Fact is, you can't truly know how these things will go, and if you are working with a data scientist worth his salt, he'll tell you the same thing. Data segmentation based on your customer (behavior) database will provide some insight (which we obviously don't have access to), but just the confounding variables alone (e.g. different offer/tiers/goal/year/circumstances) introduce significant bias and uncertainty. So when you, as an IK rep, respond to people doubting/wondering about the outcome/goals (and I wasn't one of them) somewhat dismissively, what they might get out of it is that, despite all that unpredictability, as long as they participate, you/IK "will take care of them". And that is awesome! Except... 1 hour ago, Peter - IK Multimedia said: ...any extension is going to have to be earned... More info coming soon. ...now they're probably worried ?

Resonator is brand new and is completely third party, so it was not included. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Cormier Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 (edited) Same juan or different juan? Either way, unfortunate juan. Back to our program: I watched the group buy a couple of years ago just after plonking down my cash for TSM2 and felt left out. Not this year. At this rate I will never see TSM3 nor need to. I also wonder if the TSM3 upgrade deals earlier this year have anything to do with the seemingly slower uptake in the group buy?

Eusebio Rufian-Zilbermann Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Heads-up. If you got Amplitube SVX from the Audio Plugin Deals promotion a year ago, and you haven't registered it yet (e.g., because of already having TS2Max which was my case) you probably want to register it now and get a nice surprise ? (keep that counter going up!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter - IK Multimedia Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 @Marc Cormier - one simple edit and you've absolutely ruined the potential for pages upon pages of "group butt" jokes. Shame on you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
