MY MISTAKE??

Ohh come on.. ObiHOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN ON THESE FORUMS???

YOU KNOW WHICH FORUMS are relevent to SOFTWARE .

SO WHEN did you relaize YOUR MISTAKE? You do know you can EDIT and delete your post

and repost it in the correct forum ...

I CALL BS

Call BS all you want. I have done tons in the right forum and I wasn't paying attention when I was switching tabs. MY mistake. I know what the Coffee shop is like, why would I go looking for more heat than I already get?

Because you're a loner, Dottie...a rebel.  Heat is your middle name.  Where ever there's two guys fightin...where ever there's injustice...where ever there's a guy whose got a boot on his neck...you'll be there.  To right the wrongs of software injustice.  To provide substantial discounts on already outdated software.  To provide friendly...sometimes helpful solutions to problems that might or might not actually exist.  In short...to do your J.O.B.

And you're darn good at it...don't let anyone tell you different:-)

sigh...let it go.....

I'll give ya $29.99... for 4 freestanding dlls.

I love my CSR and use them on just about every project. 
They are my go-to verbs.
Well worth the $40 IMO.

Custom Shop.... It doesn't bother me.
It's not like it interferes with my PC and it's stability or anything.
It just sits there quietly doing nothing unless I ask it to.

It doesn't run in the background or fire up at start up like Adobe crap does.
It's basically like an app you would have on a smart phone.

No one really cares if I like it or not. If they want an IK product that's the way you get it.
Waves and NI have similar things.
I even have an iLok and that doesn't bother me at all either. I never even know it's there anymore.

Just my useless 2¢ worth.

This.
All of it.
100% agreement

I paid for the $99 version of the 32bit CSRs a few years ago. The only one I use is the "plate".

I just bought the $50 Valhalla Room which is free standing and you just plop it anywhere you want.

I just bought the $449 Exponential Audio Phoenix Reverb and R2 because they sound better than anything I ever heard. They sound so good it was worth putting up with iLok.





I'd like to pay for the 64bit CSR .dlls

IK says they'll give them to me for free if I just install the Custom Shop.

I spent $500 on reverbs just this month and IK didn't earn a penny of it.

I'm voting with my pennies.

Maybe IK will come up with a special price for folks that don't want to install Custom Shop?


best regards,
mike

That's good enough for me
 
I just spent some of that Euros type dosh on the Reverb.
 
I even paid me some of that Italian VAT
 
 
@IK Obi - I realise the CSR I just bought is very good value at the special offer price, but it seems a bit mean to me not to allow us to use our Jam Points towards the cost of purchase. Is this the case for all offers?

What really is the difference between the Custom Shop and iLok?  they're both extra entities (software / hardware) that you don't need for the software to work.  IMO the iLok is just as bad as the Custom Shop since it's tied to a proprietary procedure in order to run the software version you want to run.

The difference is simple.

The one I am using with the iLok for is worth the trouble to me.

The other one is something I paid $99 for and only used a little bit because it never sounded better than ok.

I'd like to install my CSR license on my new DAW for the convenience of opening old projects... but only if it's convenient.

I'm bemused by the idea that a company would rather devalue their product with sale pricing, to meet a perceived balance of supply/demand, than figure out how to provide a value worth paying for full price for.
