Price increase on EZmix 1 expanions?! huh?

[Kip Count]

What’s with the 66% price increase on the EZmix 1 packs? They were $29, now $49?!
I expected the new EZmix 2 expansions to cost more, but not to see the old ones now jacked up. It’s the same product with the same presets as before. What gives? I was thinking of picking some of these up, especially the Ainlay pack, but NOT at these new prices. I felt that the EZmix 2 pack was a little pricey, but now seeing the EZmix 1 packs are priced the same, I’m scratching my head here.

I’m seriously annoyed. I always loved that I could buy into Toontrack products and would always have the ability to expand my software at a reasonable pricepoint. Looks like the business model has changed a bit.

WOW!!!!!! You raised the price TWENTY BUCKS on these after we just got through telling you they are too high? Good luck, you are not getting it from me.

Yeah I was thinking about getting the Chuck Ainlay pack but I agree that it’s a bit of a ridiculous price increase

“We wanted to thank and congratulate you for taking the opportunity of upgrading to EZmix 2!”

I have to agree that this is a very strange way of doing this. Any thoughts of buying expansion packs are now on hold.

Just noticed the price increase and I’m really shocked about that, especially given the statement of a Toontrack employee a few weeks back (see post #3 http://www.toontrack.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=123296):

there are no plans that I know of in term of adjusting the price of existing EZmix packs i.e packs released prior to the start of 2012 in the (near) future, but I am not in the know for sure. Future packs price point will depend on what we intend to include, and may therefore not be offered at the same price point. Again though, I am not in the know in respect to EZmix 2 packs price structure.

Yeah, he said “but I am not in the know for sure” but anyway… 🙁

I was very exited about the new EZMix version, but now I’m thinking of NOT buying the version 2 upgrade given the fact that I won’t buy any expansion packs at that price level.

It’s a tough spot to be in. As bothered as I am about the new expansion prices and EZmix 1 expansion price increases, I still think the $49 upgrade to EZmix 2 is worth it. To be fair, it was a BETTER buy when the promise of future expansions at a fair price was a possibility. But now it looks like a lot of people will have to accept EZmix 2 as it is if they don’t feel like being gouged for expansions.

I’m still very happy that I upgraded to EZmix 2. And though I won’t touch any $49 EZmix expansion with a ten foot pole, I’m still finding EZmix 2 very useful.

Best Service have good pricing on the core,master,staub and dirt sets, IF you are VAT EXEMPT. They only have the 2012 releases listed. Closer to the old pricing than the new. Sorry never the read the rules, so don’t know if posting prices is OK. Just google em, it might be low enough to get you over the line.

Audio deluxe has finally added EZmix expansions along with midi packs and producer presets.
