All plugs discounted

[Grooveteer]

Check the UA website.

Pretty cool huh?

Cambridge EQ for $ 81.95 for example...

Is that the smell of a new card?

 

[secretworld]

It´s no joke!

 

[Grooveteer]

No, it's no joke.

I just got myself a CE-1 ($ 84.15) and a Pultec Pro ($ 67.15)

I'm just wondering why UA is doing this. Hence my remark about a new card being on the way.

Hello

UA has promised to announce the solution for PCIe within Q2.
The AES Convention in Paris is going to be an exciting event, so ladies and
gentlemen please synchronize your watches and start the countdown. :wink:
Neve diode based compressor if properly modeled should have
strong harmonic distorsion figures and higher CPU load.

UA are doing this, becasue they want to sell more plugins. They have sales figures just like every company in the world.

When they released the RE201 many, many forum members said it's too expensive, I'm not buying it.

We then faced a chorus "of not it all's" who said oh if you can't afford it, shut up moaning and stop being so childish.

WRONG.

Always speak up, always state your opinion and never let others throw you off your path. The RE-201 was too expensive - it is now cheaper, time again to consider it's purchase. Those that DON'T purchase also have an important voice, as perfectly proved here.

Now I could be immature and say "so up yours" to all those that smuggly put their self-appointed arguments about UA pricing policy, but I'll resist and just enjoy the new prices

Wait a minute, are you taking credit for UA dropping their prices? You were clearly the most vocal in the "Space Echo discriminates against the proletariat" thread, but we have absolutely no idea why the prices were dropped- for ALL plugs. UA doesn't even bother with this board, which makes that thread even less likely to be the catalyst for the sale.

Everyone who didn't buy plugins becasue they where too expensive can take credit for UA dropping their prices. Speaking out created MORE of a class action. Some on this forum wanted people to shut up, which I think is way wrong. Who knows why UA dropped thier prices nobody. But I have my suspicions.

........ and UA don't need to bother with this board - they just need to look at their sales figures, as I'm sure they do.

So yes - I feel very pleased UA dropped their prices, as ever people vote with thier wallets, or in recent times their lack of opening their wallet.

Now that Studio PAK is discontinued and the UA has reduced plug-in prices you can get same plug-ins with less money if you buy Flexi PAK.

 

[mightymike]

Did I think it was too expensive? No... do I now still it was too expensive? Still the answer is no. The value set by UA, IMO, was fair and still do. Just because UA dropped the price doesn't mean they were being unfair. That was the accusation I (and others) put to some of you guys who thought UA were ripping us off.

UA dropping the price doesn't justify the orginal accusations at all!

Who knows why they dropped it. They didn't just drop the space echo... they dropped ALL the plugs. I'm sure you would like to think the rebel forces won a battle but there is def something bigger happening. With a PCI-E solution and Neve's around the corner there may be a bigger change than appealing to the rebels!

Oh, just great, I bought the roland bundle like yesterday... =/

This is total crap, no one said that you shouldn't speak up. All I ever said, and to my memory most other comments as well, was to write with respect instead of calling UA a bunch of names. It wasn't the view point that was questioned, it was the accusations and inuendo that went with it.

 

[xist2005]

Calm down guys, be peaceful

Enjoy the discounts, and let's see what happens in 20 days at Paris.

 

[Trebor Flow 2]

They didn't just drop the space echo... they dropped ALL the plugs.

Well they were hardly going to do that where they - for obvious reasons.

I and many others presented a great argument, others disagreed, a buttlefly flapped it's wings in a jungle in Peru and the prices of the plugins have dropped. The world works in mysterious ways don't you think.

Any way I'm still smiling a huge cheeky grin, and I think I may just treat myself to a new plugin. Clever people these UA marketing men don't you think.

Alright, then, everyone thank Treb for the May promotion! Viva La Revolucion!
Dude, seriously, there's a sale every month. This one is great (right up there with the Mix n Match promotion from last year), but I doubt it's the result of people allegedly not buying one plugin because it was too expensive. My guess is that they're allowing us to load up our cards for cheap now, because there's something new on the way.
EDIT: My word; delusions of grandeur?

 

[Tarekith]

You guys argue about the weirdest stuff here....

 

[pony down]

aww maan im gonna spoil myself now..the juice the juice!!

 

[s_sibs]

I'm still not buying the space echo. They could drop the price to $50 and it comes down to \"I STILL DON'T NEED IT\" That's what it comes down to for me. I didn't buy it when it first came out not because I thought it was too expensive but because it wasn't useful to me. I agree with sj_digriz... but Trebor, if your ego gets stroked that your moaning made UA lower their prices then fine.

I need more coffee

 

[Agent Cooper]

Definitely not aimed at somebody specifically, but over the years UA always made sure their existing customers would get a fair deal when new stuff came out, I could tell at least one story where they were more generous to me than I would have even dared to hope. Great guys !
So my least concern is to be SOL when something new is coming out.
I just have faith in that company and hope they're doing well.
Concerning the new prices, smile and be happy !
In my case I'm sure I'll be using my PCI UADs for some years to come.
In fact I just upgraded my PC to a smoking X2 / A8V combination TO BE ABLE to use my UADs for a longer time.
So the only relevant question to me is, do I need the extra plugins enough to pay the asked price ?
Again in my case I'm still missing 3 plugs (PEQ, PMB and Space Echo) and I'm sure I'll buy PEQ and PMB now, if the coupon UA sent me can be used in combination with the new prices, which I don't really doubt.
I won't be getting Space Echo, since it's far too resource hungry for the jobs I'd use it for.
And any new hardware / software UA makes will be added to what I already have or simply not bought. Depends on features and price.
Have a nice day, all,
Cooper

 

[NuSkoolTone]

Man those prices certainly are more enticing. Too bad for me that my money is tied up in other upgrades right now. If they did this come in the fall(my busy season moneywise), I'd be all over it with a flexi pak (My two cards are tapped) and downloading my mastering and roland bundle authorizations.

Wish those price changes were permanent.....

 

[Trebor Flow 2]

Nowhere do I state that the lower prices are MY doing. Nowhere.

However, I am not suprised that certain forum members are not capable of EVEN entertaining the idea or concept that poor sales figures have prompted a lowering of prices.

It is possible isn't it?

I post on this subject out of nothing more than a fascination in human nature. I’m lucky I can afford UA plugins, however I found the pricing debate an interesting subject and now “maybe, just maybe” those that have found UA plugins too expensive have made there presence felt (even for a limited time as UA, may just be testing the market with cheaper product) with their abstinence.

It is possible isn't it?

A very humble
