"Wankhammer"...Just needs a couple umlauts and its a great name for a metal band.

With this price tug I could simply rent an appropriate location, some cool equipment and re-track my whole band to get whatever sound I’m after….I could also buy Elton John’s glasses…

Then it is extraordinary cheap to do this wherever you live

Over here we could rent a studio for two days without engineer or equipment for this price.

I find no reason to justify the price of frei:raum, for what it offers.
You can get a full featured DAW for this amount of money.

Ok, it is a startup company with high-end ambitions and maybe these three highly educated engineers try to pay their bills with their sales.
Who knows?

But...
It remains a great tool to save time, money (in some cases) and it offers great results.
I only can repeat my recommendation to watch the three videos on their website.

399 bucks for a product presented with utterly bland and cheesy stock imagery. Furthermore, if it's for Pro - what's the smart fast fix thing good for?

Something's a bit strange to me here...

I have no idea what you even mean with "utterly bland and cheesy stock imagery" - care to enlighten us?

The smart fix thing is to save time of course - something the pros often lack while the hobbyists tend to have loads of it.

This product is most obviously absolutely unique, revolutionary and extremely helpful. I think you can compare it with Melodyne in a way, which was f**king expensive too when it first appeared (and actually still is, if you purchase it from their site).

You guys just don't get it - but it's you!

Mark my words: this thing/company will get huge.

Yep!
Finally one guy here who understands the potential of this plugin.

Thank you, Jens
You gave me back some hope for this place

What I find both funny and a bit sad at the same time is that both KVR and Gearslutz are ridiculous for opposing reasons - here the wannabe-knowitall rookies, there the Pro snobs ...

without having looked, I predict that this thing generates quite a wave over there. But so does loads of super expensive crap.

That kid which looks like it escaped from "back to the future" with some set items. A grandpa in cliché wannabe DJ pose behind shellac decks. Plus two random shots of a guitar and a concert hall.

Maybe i just don't get this kind of humor. For sure it doesn't set my first impression to "expect quality". Neither do the perspectively distorted, lofi-images spread over the entire site. The feature descriptions remind me about detergent ads. Complete lack of any facts.

I don't doubt the product might be a struck of genius. But this online presense fails to sell it to me.

Personally I find their website very professional looking - and very fitting. I guess it's a matter of taste. But anyway:
they're not selling graphics software or so.

No, but Quality. And that doesn't get through to me. And yes, maybe just me.
