IK BOGO...el sucko? Non!! El lugubrioso!
Just MHO...but IK's new BOGO is pretty sorry. Like much of their hyped up marketing, this so-called buy one get one free isn't all it's cracked up to be. None of the newer plugs are included and it looks like you have to buy from them and not a third party vendor. I was thinking of picking up the 432 and the 1081. But, nope, no can do. Actually they've done me a favor by helping me keep my semolians in my pocket. I'm sure this has been hashed out in a previous thread so sorry if I'm late...as usual...to the party.

I don't care for it either but for a different reason. I don't have any of the T-Racks stuff (or ST stuff for that matter). They have yet to reach a price point that I find interesting.

Can't wait for the ST 3 promo's! Buy one get 12 free!
That is going in the right direction but there still may be some more room to go.

Gotta agree with you all. If I could buy one of the new Neve plugs and get the other new plug as my freebee, it would be done by now. :)
As it is, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Scheps to be heavily discounted on Monday...

"Creepy"? - What - to describe you, you Adonis? Oh well, no worries! I've been getting called that by women for years now - and still do sometimes. In fact, I'm so used to it by now, that it doesn't even rattle me or fizzle on me anymore. It's all good!

Sorry that the promotion doesn't suit your needs. We have heard an overwhelming number of users ask that new plugins do not go into sales soon after release. They are those that purchase upon release to get the excellent additions to their projects (and many recoup what they've paid in a matter of a single project anyway), while those that don't want to or need the plugins can wait until a better deal comes along. Again, it seems that this promotion doesn't suit your needs but this should answer those that don't think we value the work on these new and highly-regarded plugins that many of you seem to want at a cheaper price.

As stated before...THIS IS A CROCK.... If the PRICE DOESN'T CHANGE..they don't care... BOGO is BOGO... What they object to is paying your "intro" price of $125...and then having it go on SALE for $50 the week after... But, if you PAY the price...and then get one free...WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? You'd sell more product....DERH!!! AND you already stated that THOSE WHO ALREADY PURCHASED ARE INCLUDED.... Enough of the HORSE PUCKY already...GET ON WITH IT!!! I get tired of the Corporate/Political CRAP....

Unlike my ol pal Larry I sincerely mean this as constructive criticism IK, ol pal. Whether you know it or not your posts have a very condescending tone. It's not the information you're imparting...it's the way you impart it. You really would fare better over here in SonarWorld if you lightened up a bit and got your panties out of the wad they seem to be in. Honest.

Agreed. BOGO means that if we buy one of your plugins, we get one of equal or lesser value FREE. It doesn't matter if it's new or not(well apparently it DOES matter to IK). Crap like this will lead to LESS sales, not more.

It's not a great deal..it's a scam. No offense, but you AND Pete come off as arrogant, over-zealous, and completely irresponsible company reps...and I'd be concerned, as, I'm sure your higher ups WILL take notice.. Your research is completely wrong also....honest...

See...that's what I mean. You just can't resist being snarky. That's the prerogative of us customers. But it should never...ever...be yours. But don't mind me, pick up your shovel and go on back to that hole you were diggin. Guess it's just not deep enough yet.

I got the Buss Comp and the Mastering EQ. I had Jam Points and some Gear Credits ,that I got for 1/2 price, so both (excellent) plugs cost me $27 out of pocket. Sweet for me.

$27 right now...plus whatever you paid for the Credits and Jampoints... but NOT $27 out of pocket...just $27 NOW...so that statement is HIGHLY misleading... not to steal your thunder..but reality is reality... I could buy the EQ for their (ridiculous) $150 asking price...but THEN there's NOTHING that does me any good because I already have everything except the 2 new EQ's....so what benefit is BOGO if there's NOTHING I can use BOGO on? And I know I'm not alone...what's the harm in saying...OK you bought the M EQ so you can get the 73 or 81 free? Or you bought the 81 so you can get the 73 free? The harm is that THEY'RE TOO F'n cheap, and too F'n greedy, and they're trying to milk the NEW STUFF for ALL they can...rather then to say...OK BOGO is BOGO...even though a few months from now it will be on a HALF OFF GROUP BUY or some other sale.....so there it is... Sorry...they keep KICKING US in the face...and then try to tell us how GREAT it is, and how RIGHT they are, to KICK US IN THE FACE (because their research shows we like it!) The same applies to ST3....it's only been 10 years...so BE HAPPY THAT WE HAVE EVEN DONE ANYTHING WITH IT...AND BTW...PAY US A PREMIUM PRICE FOR IT....even though we TOTALLY screwed you, and we've been late to release more times then Carter's has liver pills... NOPE....sorry...maybe everyone will happily buy into their CRAP excuses and BS... ( P. T. Barnum said it best...) Not this guy...  Thanks to their policies, and REPS who think their company can "do no wrong", like Obi and Pete....they can kiss my furry brown bahooki.... I'm seriously considering DUMPING everything IK that I own, simply because, regardless of how good the Product may be, if the company is full of people like that...then I want no part of it... AND there are also MUCH BETTER, and and many CHEAPER, alternatives...
