I was one of the early supporters of Toontrack. I bought EZ Drummer early on. I didn’t do the upgrade when it was offered. Going through a Divorce, not spending any time in the studio etc. I figured I’d upgrade when life got less complicated. Never in a million years did I think Toontrack would cut off the upgrade path. But they did. So I waited for them to remove their Craniums from their Glutes. No such luck or Love for the people who made it possible for them to exist in the first place. Today I see that Toontracks offers an upgrade from lite but not from 1? WTF people? Really? Well the beautiful thing is that there is plenty of competition out there. Guess whos getting my money now? It’s certainly NOT Toontracks and when people ask me what they should buy, I sure the hell don’t recommend anything from Toontracks. Everything they do is available from other companies and in most cases the products are better. I wouldn’t even know that except Toontracks gave me a very good reason to look to their competition for new solutions. And now I know better. At this point, knowing how the company operates, I don’t think I’d use the products if they gave them to me for free, because I know better. Its going to take a lot on their part to win any of us back. Its kinda sad really. The company had the potential to be a powerhouse, they just lacked the leadership and common sense to pull it off. I was very loyal for a very long time, Sang their praises to many people. So sorry I did. They soiled not only their reputation but mine as well. That only happens once.
