    That would be what we call a bad business decision. :facepalm:

    @giancarlo This is a very strange decision.
    Instead of using a sale or lowering the list price to get the people who were hooked on an illegitimate version into the legitimate boat, you punish potential legit buyers.

    I think that 499€ is still a justified price tag for this great software, but this approach is a real bitchmove!

    In my opinion, Nebula seems depricated in the eyes of AA. They are concentrating fully on their Acquas. It's a shame, since AlexB, TimP and TimC (and the good ol' HO AYCE bundle) are putting out invaluable releases for ITB mixers.

    Nebula, in all its forms inc the standalone plugs, is utter trash.. made by chancers, sold to morons, hyped by far too much cash.

    Doesn't work better than algo at 88.2k+
    Doesn't sound better than algo at 88.2k+
    takes up too much room
    loads slowly on insert

    Can't even work like proper hardware (emulated in algos), compression sucked for years, saturation was poor, anything pushing it would result in ear splitting anomolies, lacks 'usability' all round and feels like a sonic prison.

    Builds up over a mix to make the result like a fake pair of boobs.. all show and no go, plastic and unappealing (sounding)

    The only pros who ever use these or push them are those who were paid or part of they hype (Greg Wells.. who actually uses more PA and i think Softube Algo plugs than he ever does AA stuff)

    has OBNOXIOUS developers who milk their fans with 'fixed' versions every year while purposely turning a blind eye to some of the MOST SEVERE audio bugs any plugs have ever suffered (they are happy for you to ruin your mixes with things only a few can spot but are there nonetheless but don't tell you this until they release version 2 and re-milk you)

    Arrogant developers with entitlement issues, giancarlo or w/e the fuck he's called talks down to EVERYONE - from possible customer to paying customer to nay-sayer. He's a bald headed C**t who think's he's some kind of god cos he dreamt up a stupid, convoluted system to basically STEAL other's hard work (HARDWARE) without ever paying those original makers any of the profits then lectures others about stealing. His plugs take no more than an hour to make (just sample it and go eat dinner) stick a fancy front end on it and charge £300... while other devs actually TEST and emulate and spend months on ONE PLUG IN.. this chump is shitting out 'samplings with fancy guis' for £300 a pop and thinks he's god.

    Enjoyed near zero piracy for years yet NEVER passed that knowing security (no profit loss) onto buyers/potential buyers and just continue to charge extortionate prices and, as we see now, even add to the price if they get 'insulted' (like children)

    Luckily for me I wouldn't put nebula in my mix if it WAS free so this price hike is just something to laugh at.

    Wow I think I have to rethink my plans to buy Acqua plugins. AA is not a company I`d like to be a customer.:rofl:

    Free Acqua updates, license transfer system, big discounts (Ultramarine now from 299 to 89), loyalty discount program (20% off coupons, stackable with already discounted products). Customer-friendly-wise, there seems to be an AA 'pre-2020', and 'post-2020'.

    I'm their costumer and I like what they provide us and the services!
    Plugins are incredible,
    Nebula is an amazing for those who knows how to work with IMHO.
    Anyway, I'd really liked Gian Carlo reaction about nebula!
    Strategies :)

    P.s.

    Nebula's sales will increase by 1000% when Nebula can load multiple EQ instances at once.

    LOL What the hell are you talking about?
    For example, I love IK White 2A as an algo plugin, but compared to Opto32, any La-2a algo emulation is complete garbage. Compare Softube Summit TLA-100A with TimP's 100a at 96K and you will realize how big the sonic differences are between Nebula and Algo.

    Nothing comes close in algo land. Nothing!

    Just compare them in high gain reduction or high level boost in eq then you'll find the real difference.
