I do find it strange that software emulation of gear that costs thousands of dollars is now in the digital, at a range of a few hundred..but that’s still too much and considered predatory pricing by some.
I look at the tube tech full collection you can get for a few hundred dollars, when the hardware itself is $4000 plus for the compressor alone.
We’re able to make full on functional home studios for a fraction of the cost of an analog based studio. Companies not pricing low enough to please hobbyists just doesn’t seem like a major problem to me in this field of business.
As for subscriptions giving people more than they need, some might think less is more and your stock plugins are enough. Others might like to color with different plugins and experiment. Having more plugins doesn’t make you better at using them and you have to learn to mix well, but if you’re of the mindset of treating mixing as a creative process rather than an obligatory process, more plugins can inspire some people.
I get it though, I’m not gonna change anyone’s mind here. Hopefully everyone still finds th plugins they want and need at a price point that is reasonable.
