Alreaday have both but this is pretty shocking news having IKM in the PA store if true.

So you kind of missed the announcement of the acquisition of PA by IKM? ?

Got a press release on that?

Would be pretty surprised to find out that Soundwide (the PA, NI and Izotope collective) is now owned by IKM.

It's their popup store, like they did for their recent Audiority plugin sale

I'm aware but all the ex store stuff has been small developers.  IKM is one of the largest in the industry and don't exactly need the "marketing" the pop up store provides.  

Audiority is awesome but also not exactly a household name and even they are bigger than some of the others that hit the store.

Well it happened, but without vouchers to stack with it, I can't believe anyone would pay $99 for the 2 plugins.

 

And yes, I like Tape Machine 24.

Same, got all for for less than the cost of this plus a whole lot more.

I must admit, I am quite surprised by this IKM product being some on PA and wonder what is going on it the background. Are PA turning into APD and using their e-commerce store to generate revenue?

Well, adding Native Instruments and iZotope to their portfolio surely gets them ahead in that game!

I don't think so. I think it's more that IK is trying to maximize its audience; I doubt PA have maximum-company-size required for their popup shop, and they know that the combined user-base of iZotope, NI, and PA would be huge.
