IK Multimedia user-experience improvements needed direly

Postby harrikokko » Thu May 28, 2020 8:43 pm

Hello,

I must say that I am not at all happy with the approach IK Multimedia takes on installing all possible plugins on my computer when I install updates to e.g. Amplitube or any other plugin. This method is polluting my computer with unnecessary files and makes it more difficult choose the plugins in DAW when there's a huge number of plugins displayed which I don't own. Now I need to delete these unnecessary plugins manually to get rid of them.

The same goes for Amplitube which shows all possible presets with amps/effects/cab one does not have. I have seen this issue raised a number of times but IK Multimedia apparently considers this as a good way to market their products. For me this is doing the reverse. I like Amplitube but I am not using it as often as earlier. Currently the presets are pointless and unusable due way they have been implemented. The presets could serve a purpose, i.e. narrowing down possible sounds if I could choose to view only presets which I can make use of.

IK Multimedia techies, don't let the marketing guys ruin the usability. Stand up for the customers and start requiring implementations which are more user-friendly to use, install and update. Your products are great but the user-experience is not.

Thank you for your input. Since this is mainly a user-to-user forum (the devs/techs will not likely read this thread) I would suggest adding these requests to the official wish list threads in each proper sub forum so that they do get relayed to the right people.

Thank you.
