Bit,
 
Will keep the path open for referrals and hope you don't have to wait till your next life to get the software.
 
Just an observation, hope you will take to heart. Never crossed what's left of my mind that collectively helping bail you guys out is an act of charity. Money comes and goes and if you're like me, it went more than it came. As a community, we collide with each other on some volatile up or down point on the cycle.
 
Think it was your comments ages ago about Timeless delay that got me seriously looking at it and then purchased it on your good rec. When you were turning your couch upside down to shake out the pennies to get a license, I thought there's something serious wrong with this picture.
 
No charity involved. This is simple leveling the playing field.
 
Most of us are either drowning for lack of money or drowning for excess of ignorance. Guys like you and Larry keep the information flow happening. Without the help and advice of guys like you and others here, I'd be better off buying groceries than getting burned with substandard software.
 
Hang in there and know that you are appreciated.
 
John
 
 

Hi all,
 
I've just written to Fab Filter with a reference to this thread..etc.. and got a prompt reply.
 
I'm asking for some offers for ..ermm.. Total Bundle (pls don't kill me).. but I think the offer stands for any plug(s) or bundle.
 
How do we take on from here ?
 
Edit : I'll be out for evening teaching.. shall be back in a few hours.

Hi Albert,

We can apply our 50% educational discount for Bitflipper. Just let me know when you are ready to purchase, and I'll send you a custom order link.

Cheers,

For first time buyers at full price: Timeless 2 is $144, Pro-MB would be $229.
 
If they would do the 50% discount for a single plug that should be a piece of cake to make happen. The real issue would be getting bit to accept it. I wouldn't be contributing as a charity effort but only because I get a good feeling in being able to do something nice for someone who has helped me so much and never asked for anything in return.

Those FF guys are a class act. Spend some time browsing their forum - they are all in there on a regular basis, answering questions, taking enhancement suggestions and participating in discussions.
 
Many people on the forum said "you should make a multiband compressor!". They said "good idea". So they did, and as usual knocked it outa the park. A CW forum member once bought a FF product and asked them if they'd give me a referral credit retroactively - and they did!
 
Of course, even the nicest guys in the world wouldn't be worth mentioning if they didn't also make really, really good stuff. FF is good stuff. If not for the price, I'd have the whole collection.
 
I'd like to reiterate that the reason I am a FabFilter fan/user/evangelist today is because of one Billy Arnell, who bought me a copy of Pro-Q years ago. I know many of you remember ba_midi and were sad to hear of his passing. I certainly was.

Billy was the best. 

Billy said I made him laugh. 
 
I respected him but I think he was stretching the truth.

I didn't know about ba-midi. Sad news. There are a few who are not here anymore but I didn't know he had passed on.

wyf ? ba passed ? omg ....was enjoying the thread until i read that , are you guyz serious ?
