Aphelian is 50% or $6 off at $5.99

Oscilab is also on sale, $3 off at $1.99

Got Oscilab. No updates for 7 years but it seems to work just fine on my iPad Pro. I generated some grooves within just a few minutes that were pretty nice, and the interface is very intuitive and easy to use. A fun app.

Audiokit AR-909 Drum Machine is 50% off at $9.99

Blimey, that’s still a lot of money for a drum machine that doesn’t keep time

A textbook example of the “harsh but fair” comment. Respect.

@analog_matt will you ever tell us ‘the story of the kick drum’ ? It’s water under the bridge now… Just a fun conversation around the campfire! 🏕️

I can’t remember which thread but I remember him writing a pretty lengthy comment on what went wrong and why a few weeks back around the release of one of the more recent AudioKit apps.

If I remember correctly, there are a number of AK apps that Matt has creative control over. They use the AK framework, and maybe have some sort of partnership, but they are not Matt's (or the official AudioKit) apps. I believe the 909 is one of these, and so Matt can't address the issue directly, only urge the developer to do something about it. I could be remembering this wrong though.

Interesting, I know several of the AK apps are collaborations, but didn’t know about the creative control thing.

I had to check the price at Appslice, since I don't remember it ever being so high... And I see this.

Is this a joke?
Audio kit @analog_matt fix your old apps first so someone can use it as auv3s without dropped notes and apps crashing because now, by making them so expensive you just in fact lowered your sales very effectively.

Well, I like AK, no disrespect, but maybe since they kept saying their apps will be $19.99 in the App Store description, but really never went up that high, they decided to put them up there for posterity. Hopefully they come back down eventually.

I think it’s because those apps have been superseded by King of Fm and King of Digital…if he takes them down it’d cause issues for those who still own them, so instead make them more expensive so people would buy the newer ones instead

Iceworks Yukawa - multi tap delay and filter is $2 off at $4.99

I was pretty sure that the TH-U Pattern Delay covered ALL my guitar needs for this kind of multitap delay. But after ten minutes with Yukawa presets, I found out I was wrong. Yukawa is definitely a higher level beast. Recommended.

What just happened? Now I need to defend almost the entire forum, haha. 😂

Support goes like this, for example:

Frederic Corvest FAC has 11 apps, I'm frequently using Drumkit and sometimes Alteza, they were bought at full price for both platforms; everything else, 9 of them are rarely used and are probably unnecessary for me. They are bought at a discount price for the love of the developer. I assure you, it was just a digital copy, he will not be left without resources. The only thing he will notice is a little more money on the account.

I realize that was a tongue in cheek comment. There is a certain irony to it, I’ll give you that, it’s not lost on me. There are however many ways to support a developer besides paying full price for an app. Beta testing, IAP tips, App Store reviews, follows, likes, retweets, subscriptions, recommending their apps, buying their merch, supporting their work, word of mouth, and many more. Everyone is in a different financial situation, and saving money on a purchase is just a natural part of consumerism, everyone wants to get a good price.

A discount is also a powerful marketing/sales/advertising/promotional tool. All discounts are a two way street and done for reasons that benefit both sides or else they would never happen. The consumer saves a few dollars, but the company/developer gets the promotional benefits of a sale, which increases interest in their work, generates new users/fans/customers, some of who might have otherwise never purchased their product, and the publicity/advertising from sales being shared on sites/groups/etc... Lowering the price allows more people to afford the app. It’s no different than shopping for groceries with coupons, or using Groupon/RetailMeNot/Slickdeals/etc… I don’t support something less if I got it on sale, it actuality makes me buy/try new things, I might not have at regular pricing. Most importantly If the quality is there, and I’m satisfied with the purchase, it actually helps build my support, makes me return for more.

Sorry for the dissertation, lol, I don’t want to get too sidetracked here, I’m pretty sure you were just joking, but I wanted to separate the idea that getting a product on sale means you are not supporting something. The promotional sale benefits both sides, or else you would not see advertisements about sales & specials all over the place. Cheers.

The opposing irony is that i buy apps discounted or whole price and forget i even have them, or use it once and never again. Maybe not because its not good, but other reasons.

I think its a hallucination to think the system is fair or somehow balances itself in any way though

I wasn’t trying to be a jerk at all. You’re right, It’s not fair or balanced, not many things are, unfortunately. I just think it’s important to remember that there are some benefits for both parties in these situations.

Tbh I had the same exact thought about the sales, and support thing a few weeks ago. So I know where you are coming from. Cheers!

I didnt take it like that at all. The thing people have in common here is their love of this emerging scene. Even in real life people dont know when Im joking or being sarcastic or what and maybe I just come off as mean lol

Im a big fan of this thread, despite the irony.

The word "support" is sometimes taken too seriously. I’m guilty of that, too.
