    We need an unfunny, horrible or useless rating. [​IMG]

    The only problem with that ... is that it might inspire me to redouble my efforts.

    It's alright, mate.
    I think it's just a picture of your relative.
    I know it looks like it, but I don't think he's actually trapped in the box.

    I disagree with the op @audiozuser76
    1. Softube plugins may be expensive but to say they don't sound good, and very good some, is not true. Also, we're talking about people trying them with massive discount (credits to the pal who coined this lol). I've never used them but I knew, just like I know many PAlliance are.
    No stupidity of the crowd at all here
    2. Analog Obsession: I was laughing at their marketing long before they went almost bankrupt. Too much obsession, too few quality. People not so stupid in this case either since, you know, now they give them away :rofl:
    Don't remember who mentioned this funny company.

    Granted, there're plenty of cases where marketing and hype mislead people. Not the ones mentioned in the OP. Plus unnecessarily rude and condescending way of telling the thing.

    Nailed it

    Yes, all the real hardware!
    And anyone can allude to their plugin sounding like these things/studio, as long as they don't mention the name directly!
    I think you misunderstand the op. The "ones mentioned" are the type of buzzwords that create the hype, and potentially are not worthy of it.
    You seem to think op means the official versions of those plugins that emulate the above?
    I, for one, do not see any rudeness or condescendingness. Why would you feel personally condescended to anyway?
    And right now it's safe to say that you are only 1 out of 7 people with your pov. Only according to rates though, obviously.
    Btw, is "rude" ever necessary?? As you mention un-necessary rudeness...

    He explicitly mentions a thread I've read with his posts being some of the most unreasonable, even after some editing.
    Because it's condescending considering that thread. Elitist, call it however you want. Personally I just feel cold, my balls are frozen of the weather here and I've to make errands and visits today. That's a real problem :suicide:
    Not going to play Shakespeare Dictionary with you again :rofl:

    Sorry for plain language.
    Fake diplomacy or pretended ramblings are not my strength.
    I'm used to calling things by their name instead of playing hypocrite.

    I see you're a young friend and didn't understand what you read. You just thought I don't agree with you and started to insult.
    There's no diplomacy, ramblings or hypocrasy in this thread. Please learn the meanings of them before using.

    I'll explain my first post. It's also not about plain language. My post was an advice to you. Still it is. There's two options. It's up to you, if you listen that advice, you will start to understand why other people act like that. Otherwise you just insult people you don't know. So, why did you open this thread? To understand marketing strategies or just insult people? I asked but please don't answer to me, answer yourself. That's enough.

    Talking of over-rated plugins, did anybody else laugh when they got an email from Waves last week, when the notification on your phone said "RRP £299, yours for only £2999" ! haha.
    The actual email in a browser revealed that it of course was £29.99, but they didn't put the decimal point because the font size kind of didn't need it!
    But on a phone? Reads as nonsense! haha
    Very poor marketing skills, Waves. :dont:

    Awww! :)
    Incidentally, it is often said that this person may not have existed as we assume, was a number of people, and started off the warez scene.
    If we went to a performance and wanted to later perfom it ourselves, we'd have to either remember it or write it down.
    Illiteracy was rife. Stories were shared word of mouth.
    Things were were eventually archived in the physical, as per published sheet music, and a scene and money were created from such things.

    Merchandise (and money) is a lie by nature

    Jesus Christ told us 2000 years ago.
    It is time going back to the classics.

    Mammon Lie or Universal Truth
    You choose

    Capitalism is the BIGGEST LIE humanity ever created
    Because EVERYTHING is MERCHANDISE.
    Even your sexuality, babies, children ... EVERYTHING !

    And so EVERYTHING is a LIE
    Universal Revolution or humanity disappearing
    You choose

    Softube plugins are way over rated in my opinion.I don't get the hype at all.Softube maximiser sucks,like Softube Tape,Harmonics,their amp emulations,and many more.Weiss DS-1 doesn't impress me either,Fabfilter or Izotope limiters are better.The only one that may interest me is the API console after listeninf the audio demos,but I haven't tested it personally.
