Re: Slate or Plug in alliance?
I’m not to sure what it takes for a new plugin to go on sale, but I get the impression it has to be out for at least 6 to 12 months. But vouchers usually work.

The story with the Amek EQ is it was supposed to only be a part of one of their subscription bundles and a lot of people raised a stink about misleading and contradictory language in a couple of PA emails when it dropped. Dirk had no choice but to make it available to the masses but at an exhorbitant price just to spite us. Just like Avid PA is trying to drive people to their subscription model. |

Re: Slate or Plug in alliance?
Agreed.
There's no point in subscribing for someone like myself. 85 PA plugins and I have pretty much most of the ones I want and a few more. Dirk's no fool. He keeps the door open to business like myself rather than slamming it in my face like Slate Digital. All of the other plugins have come down to affordable levels before too long. I doubt Dirk will hold off from selling the newest offerings at affordable prices once the novelty wears off. Till then I can wait. Stephen

Re: Slate or Plug in alliance?
Slate Digital promised certain updates or products "soon" which never materialised. The main bugbear being FG-X 2 which never happened, even after being promised on more than one occasion.
That does not mean all Slate products are rubbish. They make some of the best. Rather, one should take some future statements as speculative rather than fact. This can be true of small and larger companies alike, although the smaller the company the greater the likelihood of such it seems Waves similarly get much derision from certain posters here from not coming through with their promises regards (principally) AAX DSP support for Waves plugins. However, we all change our minds on occasion and it is clear Waves changed theirs and decided to shelve the ideas of supporting DSP. It makes no issue to myself having sold any Avid DSP systems I owned but I understand it left some resentment in the minds of those who invested heavily in AAX DSP hardware. Either way, best to move on. Waves make excellent products used by countless mixers and producers all over the industry to the highest calibre so their products cannot be called rubbish either.

Re: Slate or Plug in alliance?
Does anyone know what the current restrictions are for their vouchers?
I was about to drop $200 on some Xmass sale plugins. (including the SSL J for $99!) But then realized I could get the Mix/Master Bundle for $149/year and get a $200 voucher (which I would use to buy the plug-ins I was already going to buy). |

Re: Slate or Plug in alliance?
You should take the subscription and use the coupon. This deal makes it totally worth it. Plus you get to try out the other consoles that are also really great. Mix and Master is a great bundle.

Re: Slate or Plug in alliance?
Yeah that makes sense. I have been trying out a lot of their stuff already and was waiting for their end of year sale to pick up the SSL-G,SSL-J,Focusrite and the Townhouse Buss Compressor. So I can get those plus a year of all the other plug-ins for $50 less then what I was going to spend! A total no brainer
