firstly, thanks very much to all of you who have participated in the group buy. Also, a big thankyou to our existing customers for their enthusiasm and understanding.
i'm pleased to say we have already hit the
50% discount and we are now
over 1000 points! :d this has been hugely more popular than i had expected. I'm almost embarassed about how inaccurately i predicted the demand

ops: I'm afraid it will take a few days for us to be ready to accept orders through the group buy, as we need to set that up and we are looking into finding someone extra to assist with responding to emails, due to the massive volume. I'd be really grateful in your patience during the next week or two as we are extremely busy - we will hopefully get enough help to ensure that we can keep our usual high standards of support - but if you have to wait a little longer for a response than usual, its not because we don't care about you, its simply that we're overwhelmed. I'm really grateful for your patience, and i apologise for the wait - i simply hadn't anticipated this level of demand.
In answer to those asking for further bonuses, i'm afraid we are not prepared to reduce the price further. A 50% discount is already a huge discount, and i think going further would send out the wrong signals about the value of our products. On the plus side, i am adding an extra incentive at
2500 points - which is a
50% discount coupon code applicable on to our upcoming soundbanks. Once again, this is something that we will give to all alchemy users - not just those who signup in the group buy. We've got several banks coming out in the next couple of months from several of your favourite sound designers (as determined by the feedback we had in our survey

). (there's also the 40mins of tutorial videos bonus coming up at 1500 points, in case you missed that).

and if so can i have my download link first and can you tell everyone else not to start downloading until i finish? Hihi (hope your server is robust.)
|
very perceptive :d server load could potentially be a problem, despite the fact we have two servers to try and help spread the load. One of the things we are working on over the next couple of days is trying to ensure we can deliver reasonable download rates.

do alchemy have any good choir/vox presets?
|
there is male and female choir in the factory set singing ahh. We've also hit one of the group buy bonuses which includes several 100mb of samples of a choir singing oohs, ahhs, mmms, etc. As to whether the existing stuff is good or not, i'm a bit biased

so perhaps some other people will care to give their comments on what the vocal presets are like.

say, regardless we hit 50% today or not, can we just have our bonus sound now

it will take us a little while to prepare the bonuses, but you should certainly have them by christmas - and we're working hard to deliver them as soon as we can.
Thanks again everyone! If you see anyone asking a question here or on any other threads that you know the answer to, please post away as its one thing less for us to do. If you come across anyone experiencing any problems you don't know how to solve, please ask them to email
support@camelaudio.com and we will do our best to help.
Thanks
