I haven't been interested in Harrison ever since seeing this video by Dan Worrall and the reaction from Harrison (not the same product): https://youtu.be/U9eySYxwDXI?si=BRqXm5buCJBJCJEm.

At least it's not bad, but any other plugin might do it as good if not better.

Too bad really, because I wanted to like it and it's available on Linux.

Well if it makes you feel any better , it's on sale for 99 .

Is it a non-must-have?

I mean, isn't it crazy to go down from
1500 to 99?!
Well, maybe they have learnt from Plugin Alliance

That is beyond ridiculous. How can this dev expect to be taken seriously?

Apparently, for bigger companies (or at least traditional ones, which came to the software market in the last years) it`s a more profit-bringing tactic to have a high price, but very often promos with 9ß-95% discount, because the high discount "blends" the users quite a bit.

Overall such tactics bring more... as having a "rational" price and sometimes normal promos (20-50% discount) - which would have also the advantage of previous buyers of the plugin (full price paid) not feeling negative... but it`s business.

How many nearly buy blindly a product or with just short checking (even if they don`t really need it that much) because it`s on a 80-95% discount? ....

ok Burillo I don't get it, help me understand

I'm curious about this at $99. I had no curiosity at $1500. The fact that 32C's EQ nulls with digital EQs after claiming component-level emulation troubles me. But a direct port of the extremely well-regarded MPC algorithms... For $99... I don't even DO dialog work, haha, I'm such a mark

If I am honest I have- and they remain unused! I don't do it any more, no group buys, no 96% off...it's all about marketing not music. The stuff that is actually worth having is almost never in this type of sale.

I was tempted a while back (Nov. 22) to get EW Opus Hollywood Orchestra. Reg price: 999€. When the sale was over, it was at its 'normal' price of 444€.

When I was buying guitars post pandemic, everyone was selling at MSRP. Pissed me off.
But, yeah, I tend to be very skeptical at the 'value' companies put on their stuff. Seems like they make that stuff up, or someone with stats knows how to price things for the first time punters who don't know to wait for sales.
Which was me.

it's a very old in-joke from the time a dev tried to justify the price of a delay plugin: viewtopic.php?p=5922365

it's been rattling round gear forums ever since.

technically, it should be Elton john's mix engineer's favourite plugin.

and the point everyone forgets is towards the end of boz's post.

the thing is, he's (mostly) right. that doesn't make it a good thing, mind you, but it's a bit like nuendo vs cubase. it's (or was) basically the same programme, with some features turned off in one of the two (artificially), and aimed at two different markets.

the testimonials make me worried using this will not result in placebo but instead transport the user into the eighth dimension.
