I certainly would if I could! It sounds real good…

It would be X-mas if they offered VinCo, Minimax, six-string and modular III in one package...

Great.
I just bought 3 weeks ago power-pulsar and scope. i didi not work fo a second with the cards , cause there are still some other studio-parts missing. Seems I lost a lot of money now.

Don't feel too bad Jigger, it's just a matter of degree. Buy *any* computer-based product and you immediately begin to lose money and become redundant - the only thing is how fast this happens. For you this time it happened very fast, that's all.

The bright side is that now you're on the platform you'll be ready to jump in on the next big bargain - it'll come.

Anyway, you're going to have a fine time with SFP

thank you spirit.

I hope the rest of my studio-parts will be here soon so I can find out whether it was
worth the money .

well, we're 1553 members here at planetz today and i would say most of us are satisfied.
be confident, you will be too

It's good they are having a sale but I wish they would have a sale on individual items. This kind of a sale is very frustrating for me because I see the item I want yet it is packaged with a bunch of other stuff I don't really want and can't afford.

This is like me going to the store and seeing pants I want half price but only if I buy 1 pair of shoes, 5 pairs of sox, a hat, an umbrella, a tie, a heavy winter shirt and 5 leather jackets plus an underwater watch and all for just $1000! These items are valued at $2,000 when bought individually... BLAH BLAH BLAH!

It's ridiculous and it makes me angry. Kind of a sale for wealthier customers? I don't get it.

well, the offers aren´t that bad.
But they are only intersting for people who don´t have any of the bundled plugs. so if you buy something from cw, be prepared to buy it two times again and again in so-called special priced packs. it´s frustrating an actually keeps me from buying anything. i would love to see a "20% off" plug now an then .just ONE at a time.

Amen, CW says you can sell the parts you don't need. That's a pain in the butt. I'm boycotting for now.

But they did have that recently remember?:

"During the four weeks of the holiday season the CreamWare Online Shop is offering bargains like never before. Each week a featured plug-in is offered for no less than 100 Euro below the regular price!"

Ok, they weren't really the plugins most people would be interested in though.

right. that was for the rather "old" plugs. in this case,the regular price should be lowered .

The offer's been extended till the end of June.

And as I believe you all know: Upgrade campaign 3 is running till 30th of June. Realy low priced cards for the old users.
