740 Euro way over priced considering I paid 750 a few years ago for TC Tools which is no longer supported on Intel Mac
This is way overpriced. Good luck selling it.

“True, it is exorbitant, but itâ€™s the price all of us PT users have to pay to offset the money they will lose from pirates cracking their PC Powercore versionâ€¦”

There’s are two kinds of schools here, this is one of them. The other is the exact opposite: when people stop paying – lower the prices. I actually don’t buy the whole thing that there wouldn’t be piracy AT ALL if the prices were low which a lot of magazines propagated for in the 80′s (Amiga nerds should know ), there will always be free riders if there’s the possibility for it. Still, it’s possible that the companies would actually make more money if they lowered the prices. It’s a very tough decision to make.

JP, going a little OT (it’s my blog, I can do that ). I understand that the ISA modules are based on the Focusrite console. Have you tried that? And if so, do you think they are similar?

At the top of this thread, I thought the price was a MISPRINT.

ha ha ha ha! LOL

A MISPRINT.

I wonder how many other people blinked and double-checked their eyes, or cleaned their glasses, like I did.

If all the software manufacturers offered their products at reasonable prices (Massey, PSP), piracy would not be an issue. In any case, TC stuff has always been way overpriced, going back to their lame guitar pedals in the 80′s.

JP: How the hell do you make those little waves on a Mac?

Chad: “The hardware version of the Fairchild limiter costs $30k.

Maybe UAD should have considered that when they priced their brilliant plug-in emulation it at an affordable $150?”

Simply brilliant.

In other words, just say no.

This is madness, people. Paying $1,000 for a compressor plug-in is nothing but foolishness.

I run a mastering studio for a living and we had the Tubetech multiband limiter. It was okay. We eventually sold it to (wisely) use our $6k elsewhere.

My advice: forego this product until the price becomes more reasonable. We have to discourage this kind of price gouging or else it will continue. Don’t encourage them.

PS: the only difference I can find with the hardware version is the sidechain knob. The hardware version actually states bus 1 or 2 for the SC input. That sounds like a protools term to me…. But the protools version says Left or Right…. Funny.
