Larry Shelby Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Well...I bought a second copy of Fender 2 to get into the group buy, because that's half the price of Lurssen at $133 at JRR with the GROUP discount. That will get me everything I don't have In the Amplitube series, and a few others... I'll off Fender 2 later... That means the only things that I won't have are the MODO's, which I'm not even concerned about... Edited August 11, 2019 by cclarry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) And to be honest, if Larry wouldn't have found that half price deal, I would have sat this one out. I got all I want. I only want the Tape Machines. Larry got me in on the first Total Studio buy back in the day. And I got it for a steal. But there Larry was with all this stuff he got from IK (SampleTank, Miroslov, Amplitube and more. And it was not cheap back then like it is today) and he was letting IK know the same thing as today. No price for the guys who bought stuff up front and paid full price. Nope, I got the same deal he did back then. And so I know IK has heard him for sure. Yet here we are today. Many years later. Difference is I got all the stuff now. And the guy that bought one $99 deal can get it at the same price I can. SMH Having said all that, I don't think I can say that I paid full price for anything I got from IK, except the Mesa Collection. I did give $149 for that when it came out. [edit] No I didn't give full price for that either. I got it for less because I used Jam Points to make it a better deal.

Larry Shelby Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) This got me Mesa, which I had sold, both Leslies (Collection), and Amplitube 4, which I had also sold. I also get Fullton and Dime Bag and I'll have everything... and still will NOT have the "Max" Designation...for either Amplitube, T-Racks, or SampleTank....but, whatever...I'm not paying TOP DOLLAR for the word "Max"!?

Fleer Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 Still wondering if it wouldn’t be better to wait for Total Studio 3 and related upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the best option if you can hold out. In the years since I first got Total Studio, I picked up a lot of stuff since then. Then I come along and get Total Studio Max!! I should have just held out from when I first got Total Studio till Total Studio Max came along!! You know how many extra license I got in my account?

Larry Shelby Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 IMO...the group buys are the best way. The reason being is that the "Max" products only include everything up to "X" date. Anything after that you don't get, and have to buy, so it's really not an "everything" package like Waves Mercury, where you get anything new released, other than the Abbey Road products, and some other minor stuff.... AND the 'out of pocket" will be more, even when they are on sale, but that's just IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Shelby Posted August 11, 2019 Author Share Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) That half price deal is what pulled me off the fence. I was EXTREMELY hesitant on buying Lurssen, and was going to wait till the end of the month if I did, but getting in on this for what I did was a no brainer! That's one of the reasons I went to look for it this morning, and when I put either one in my cart, they were showing full price. . .so that put me back on the waiting list. But, when you said it was still half price, and I checked again, I didn't hesitate, if the advent that it may have been pulled own again! I really didn't want Lurssen, and would have sold it later on. I was just going to buy it to get all the things that I didn't have.

sarine Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 The only developers I know who won't take you from behind (without consent) are: Melda Production ValhallaDSP Xfer Records Either they don't run sales at all (Valhalla, Xfer) designed to deteriorate your judgement by abusing some evolution-programmed animal instinct hell-bent on reserving resources (real or imaginary), that in this absurd modern setting translates to toys for adults, that you can only not call toys because you're an adult and you can simply proclaim your toys as tools of production to elevate their symbolic status above what they actually are - or they do run a more predictable sale campaign by the schedule AND they reward you for all the money you spend on their stuff (Melda). Want to not get F'ed in the A? Buy from these folks. They're also quite nice and competitive at what they do. Know more? Feel free to give them some deserved rep and differentiate them from the cheapskates with their "sales", "offers" and "coupons". ? These are NOT great bargains and you're NOT winning - the whole system is purpose-built for milking you. Not only are YOU losing in the big picture because chasing these unnecessary "bargains" (whose whole motive and justification is that they expand the customer segment and sales beyond those who ACTUALLY NEED the crap ?) occupies a gigantic space in your mind in a world and era where every peaceful minute of your time that you could take to slow down and enjoy life is increasingly a rarity (and more precious than the fleeting euphoria from "grabbing a bargain"), but the small independent software developers are also being elbowed out of the industry by the determined devaluating of the fruits of their labor. You think the $29 is sweet? You'll get sweeter until your teeth rot! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
