![]() ![]() So join me in boycotting this marketing scheme, aka 'beat contest'. fix the Ren, update the 5000, and from what i've gathered on Akai's forum the EIE looks ATROCIOUS, etc. Instead of setting up stupid contests, they should be busy listening to their customers and sorting out all of their defective products i.e. I make beats for myself, for my friends and family, not a cold-hearted corporations that seems to care nothing of the end-user. They expect us to beta test their $1300 product that DOES NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED! they expect us to deal with the frustration, and the headaches, and then turn around and make beats for them in order to help them push more units? how does that make any sense? no.no I will not degrade myself by making beats for them. then, potential consumers unfamiliar with Akai's track record in updates and customer support will think "wow! that beat is so cool! I should buy the Renaissance, cuz then I can make beats like that!!" when in fact the winning beat will most likely NOT be produced on a Ren. This whole "beat making contest" is a marketing strategy, and nothing else: get the user to make the beats, pick the best ones, and showcase them to the world. I was so insulted when I saw that posted on their website. ![]() and the best way to do this, besides returning their defective product, is to boycott their beat making contest. ![]() Do not release equipment without proper testing. simple.) I have learned my lesson, and I will not be akai's guinea pig again.ĭjdynasty wrote:We need to send Akai a message. no big deal (and believe me, I am all for it eventually kicking ass, but right now it doesn't, so it should not be commercially available. IF OS 1.3 is around the corner, and IF it kicks ass, I can very easily go back and buy it. so, if you have any doubts about this machine RETURN IT NOW before they change their policy! it was surprisingly easy to return, because I suspect they know what's going on with it. he forked over my money and I walked out with a big 'ole grin and drove off. ![]() homeboy didn't even really ask me any questions about it, he kinda started to and then trailed off.couldn't even look at me, just wanted me out of the store cuz HE KNOWS IT'S A CRAP PRODUCT, at least at this stage of its life cycle. I am pleased to report that I successfully returned my Ren today at GC (had it 1 month). ![]()
