Wishing for Audiokit D-1 to go on sale. Missed it first time it came out.

We are kind of wavering on putting D1 on sale for Black Friday. As, it just came out and people might get offended if it went on sale right away. But, we have received several emails from people in countries where the currency exchange to the dollar is weak. And, every dollar matters to them. They have asked if they could buy it a little cheaper.

Was thinking of putting it on sale for $7.99. Though, am worried that the people who just bought it for $9.99 would be offended? 😬

A light price reduction will not offend people. What however does offend people is, if apps that are just launched and, in iOS terms expensive, get free (BM3) or heavily reduced (Fluxpad that went on sale within 2 weeks for less than 50% I believe).

Love the Klevgrand sale vid. Very smartly done.

Agree smartly done! Klevgrand really knows how to make cool looking things but do they stand out as we're talking about audio?

I aim to complete my modular synths collection and will probably pick up Ripplemaker and Zors Modular. Still missing Ops (that won't go on sale probably), Modular Synthesizer which seems abandoned as well and Analog Kit which surely is not supported anymore.

Analog Kit was a real fun app. Same that it's dead.

If Pro Q2 auv3 was 50% on sale, I would buy it.

If Korg drops a new app or Gadget I'll be on it

Pro Q2 is not a simple EQ, it's the king of EQs

You only really see the 'critical' value in the later mixing/mastering stages of a large-ish project, in my opinion. Before that point, I wouldn't actually bring too many feature rich 'big guns' out (complicates late stage work and bogs down workflow) and mainly just work with simple fixes (built-ins where possible). Probably 99% of my EQ and compression work is done with AUM/BM3/Harrison Mixbus builtins, but that last 1% wouldn't be possible without the power of some much more feature rich machinery.

I'm on the fence with Pro Q-2 AU actually, as I completely 100% see the value, but my audio will always be moved to a DAW environment before I would ever use a tool like that on it (in combination with finely tuned levels/metering/analyser tools). For that reason, it'd kind of be a luxury for me. Maybe I'll pick up the AU at a later date when I can justify the luxury for access to it in AUM/BM3/AB.

Thanks Matt!
Thankful for any savings! It’s Thanksgiving holiday after all so I’m grateful!

My iPad is currently broken screen but was able to tape it together to still touch screen. So I’ll try to get a tunes gift card to get this awesome synth.

So true in my case (I live in Brazil). But I already got D1 and it sure was one of the best purchases of the year

Fingerlab's modular went free, if i'm not wrong. Ripplemaker and Zmors Modular are awesome buys for sure. Analog kit is sitting on my wishlist forever, but I guess it's abandonware by now. Which one is Ops?

Thanks both. I'm not big on the AD stuff. Had RoughRider but couldn't read the labels. Had that AI rhythm thing too and got impression the dev never got round to fixing some issue that was stop me using it. Both those things put me off buying anything from them. RE-1 looks cool though.

I have Kosmonaut, but not Turnado, keep hearing great things about that.

Anything that works on both iPhone and iPad would be especially welcome.

Ah, you're missing out on some great plugins. I don't know that I'd say "all" AD plugins are must haves, but ADverb2, Phase Three are definitely worth having for their quality sound. I plan on buying the rest I don't have sooner (if sale) or later: EOS is the main one I'm interested in, but it's $9 for me to get 3 of 4 apps i don't have for the bundle. I have Kosmonaut so Dubstation isn't critical to have (but I do like it).

This one:
http://jonathanmackenzie.net/ops/

The developer @macduff was active on the forums, but seems to have stopped his activity around here and elsewhere on the web. His app may be abandoned as well which surely does not necessarily mean it is useless. But it was never reduced in price so I guess it never will be.

Which Fingerlab modular do you mean? The only thing which comes close to a modular is Musyc Pro but that is still paid. Got a free version of that though.

Also I forgot some (more or less) modular synths I am still waiting to pick up: KQ MiniSynth, SunVox, Thor, Caustic, iVCS3, TC-11 and ROTOR. Tera would be an option too but that looks way to complicated to me.

Hi - I'm still around! And my apps are not abandonded and should still be working. A Black Friday discount is not a bad idea...!

Oh wow, an answer from you was the last thing I expected. I previously checked your profile, Ops forums and Twitter and assumed you took a break from the internet. "Abandoned" always has this negative connotation, and thus was probably the wrong word to describe the situation, sorry! If a product is complete and runs without major problems, there certainly is no reason to keep it constantly updated to make the impression of "still supporting" the app

While you are reading this: A sale would make me buy the app guaranteed, but still, even if you won't reduce its price will probably buy it some day to complete my modular collection. Ops looks like a great entry point to modular synthesis, especially with the touch orientated UI. I am still looking for an app with which I can explain the concepts of modular synthesis to my girlfriend but I have not been very successful yet because most apps look pretty intimidating. Yours does not! Also, the name is cute.

macduff

Hi @Zaubrer!
Yeah, I agree. I actually have a problem with apps constantly updating for the sake of it. If a tool works well and you get to know it, it can be a pain if it keeps changing.
That said, I'd still like to be working on my apps, but I've had no time at all recently - hence the internet silence. Maybe later next year.
Anyhow - I've just set up a half price sale for Black Friday weekend, so if you get Ops, hope you like it!

Nice to discover apps, in this case Ops, through a Black Friday sales thread
If not too expensive I would probably buy this one just to try out. Video on website makes me curious.

@analog_matt You need to do what you need to do. If you believe a two dollar reduction will give you a real jolt in sales and that will fund your further efforts/buy you the boat you've promised the wife etc then go to it.

Not convinced that most original buyers will begrudge you the two dollars, although traditionally apps get more expensive after their release price debut etc etc.

It's an interesting one because you have an impeccable reputation at this point which is not nothing, but baby needs boots also

And there are early birds like me who got it for $4.99

McDtracy

Animoog... wow. I had no idea. At $30 I wouldn't try it but for $9.99 on iPad and $2.99 iphone I got both and it's really something. It's AB/IAA so only one instance. IAP's only work on the platform used to purchase.

Never saw this before. A sale price would get my interest. I see it's 9.99 currently. Anyone know if that IS the sale price or will the Black Friday sale not kick in til, you know, Black Friday. Damn pedants
