I don’t think it’s too expensive

If I thought it was too expensive, I just wouldn’t buy it

Who wants to put money on the table for anything these days?

License transfer fees countervalue is $ 2,250.00

So my anger about the Toontrack license transfer fee introduced in June 2021 is not entirely unfounded...

Thanks for your opinion, even though I may disagree with it. 🙂

Who wants to put money on the table for anything these days?

Maybe the question should be ‘who can spend that kind of money on a hobby these days?’ My question isn’t driven by some misplaced sense of entitlement. The pricing just doesn’t make sense, especially if you are supporting your family on minimum wage.

I could get some of the EZD2 and EZKeys sound expansions for the same price as an EZMix preset pack. In fact the Nashville EZX is a couple of euros cheaper than the EZMix presets right now, and by all accounts that’s a fantastic all-round kit. Considering the amount of work which goes into a sound expansion (and the fact you get an entirely new instrument) compared to a EZMix preset pack (which is just presets of the same existing effects chain), it just seems really off.

IMO the EZMix preset packs are much more akin to a midi pack (although, even still, more work goes into the midi packs I think), and should be priced accordingly. I’m just not sure what the justification for the current pricing is. I only want one pack (compression and saturation), but I just can’t justify that cost for what it is.
