The best email survey yet?

Wow Mikey like it

"Has anyone totalled up the cost of all this new prochannel modules rubbish?"

I'll bet it's a big number.

"Has anyone totalled up the cost of all this new prochannel modules rubbish?"

I'll bet it's a big number.

I haven't added it all up [and don't want to] I got all of them when they were cheap[$10 for C.Limiter etc]as I wouldn't buy them for the full price I don't think.

I think the method of offering them heavily discounted early on,is a great way,to get myself interested though.


The survey asks wether we would pay for Pro Channel/FX Chains presets!


Sure I use them[not FX Chains much at all however]and really appreciate the 82 that are there now[except the 2 mysterious joke ones],but there would have to be a LOT of VERY good ones,and out of the 82,I only use,maybe 20 that have been at all useful,so paying for them after that? hmmm a bit odd really.

I answered it as a courtesy. They asked and I felt compelled to respond.

A big +1 for buying pro channel presets and FX chains, as long as I'm the one selling them.

I pretty much said in the survey that the modules are over priced considering the initial investment in X-1 Producer expanded andalso mentioned that most people would buy more if they were priced better. Why pay $50 to $80 bucks for a single tool when most 3rd party tools come bundled with 3, 4, or 5 tools for less per tool cost. I also said pre amp and EQ emulations would be nice as would an integrated, full feature wave editor ala Wavelab, Sound Forge, etc. I would definiately buy one as long as it was reasonably priced.

Am I following correctly here?

The users complaining about the sale of individual PC modules would rather they were all included (compulsory) at update time and then pay one large fee then?

There was something about the wording of this survey that just made it go down smoother.

I mean that. If the people who made the survey ever read this... I hope you know what you did. :-) It was a subtle yet very effective improvement over the previous survey.

I know Cakewalk is looking for alternative revenue streams... so that was no surprise.

What I liked about the survey was that the questions were worded in such a way that I felt like I could easily answer them in a way that truly represented how I feel.




Who ever made that possible.... Thanks for that.


best regards,

Me too like the new policy from CAKEWALK keep sending survey asking the users what we like and care about.
Just keep them coming... Its all good that Cakewalk care about us users. 

 
Much has been said, now the drama can continue on forum...

I felt like I was being asked to bend over and how would I like to be bent. Horrific. I dont like this new 'charge them for everything they want but we should be including' approach. It sucks. Make the progamme work well and include all the really cool tools in the top version. That way we can pay once and be done for a year. This drip, drip witholding thing is frankly a bit distasteful. Has anyone totalled up the cost of all this new prochannel modules rubbish? Nasty direction dont like it at all.

Quite the opposite for me, I felt like they were asking what we want and determine how we would feel about offering options we could pay separately for IF AND ONLY IF we wanted them.
Surely there are a few features in the "top version" that you don't use or have need for....well like it or not you paid for them.

I don't know why Cakewalk bother with this.

If they don't engage the users, it ends up in a piss-fest

well said sir

Permanently Baffled me

It is weird when they ask questions that people have different opinions. You'd think everyone would give the same answer.

+1    My answers were all the same as Bapu's.
 
 
 
 
 
 
....or were they....
 

FastBikerBoy: Am I following correctly here? The users complaining about the sale of individual PC modules would rather they were all included (compulsory) at update time and then pay one large fee then? I didn't get that at all out of anything posted so far in this thread.
 
Did I miss something or did something get removed?

 
Really?   You didn't get that impression from this statement - "I dont like this new 'charge them for everything they want but we should be including' approach"? 
 
 
And although it's not explicit, it sounds like undertones of the same idea with this one:
"Has anyone totalled up the cost of all this new prochannel modules rubbish?"
I'll bet it's a big number.
 
 
But as Jind would say, YMMV.

Yep, I think you did Bub.
