Comments on: Audio Damage Ronin Now Available, For PC & Mac http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2009/07/18/audio-damage-ronin-now-available-for-pc-mac/ Synthesizer and electronic music news, synth and music software reviews and more! Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:47:13 -0500 hourly 1 By: Torley http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2009/07/18/audio-damage-ronin-now-available-for-pc-mac/#comment-139327 Torley Sat, 18 Jul 2009 13:06:44 +0000 http://www.synthtopia.com/content/?p=15582#comment-139327 Not necessarily. :) If I feel really compelled to buy one or more of their plugins, I'll cover 'em! But it needs to fill a special place in my heart. For instance, a variety of my really glitchy and "FX on the go" needs are currently covered by Sugar Bytes' Artillery2. I should note Sugar Bytes has a comparable range of eclecticism and they offer demo versions. Trying something out firsthand is fundamental to empirical understanding — I appreciate the extended demos (e.g., more than a 7-day trial) some companies offer nowadays because they let you get used to their product to the point where you've become dependent on it. LIKE A DRUG, AHHHH! Not necessarily. :) If I feel really compelled to buy one or more of their plugins, I'll cover 'em! But it needs to fill a special place in my heart.

But their FAQ is puzzling: it's not clear why they don't provide demo versions and why they are set against group buys (which have benefited the profile of other plugins like 2C-Aether). To their credit, their return policy is more generous than most. <a href="http://www.audiodamage.com/support/faq.php?id=1" target="_blank">http://www.audiodamage.com/support/faq.php?id=1</a> I like seeing different approaches from virtual instrument + effects makers to customer services, and more importantly, what they've learned from it.
