Very soon it will be #1 seeings how laptops are the way to go for many.
End of September should be festive.
Oh, and the TC 6000 is an awesome peice of kit, so I am a proud early adopter...

Good for SC.

Hope they can build and ship units fast enough.

Umm. Scoring #3 in the DSP audio systems category is like having the third best selling New Age Bagpipe album on iTunes.

Some of the items on that list above don't cost too much but XITE-1 is a pricey item. Really large sales usually don't go to pricey high-end items. The above list may be a very good sign since XITE-1 is doing better then popular and far more affordable/less-costly solutions. But no one know for sure about XITE's success or not but S|C.


PS. A vsti developer selling $100 synthesizers need to have a very large amount of sales to compete with a smaller number of XITE's sold. Cheaper items need larger sales and have a chance at more items sold then costly products just cause they're more affordable to many people (but larger sells then high-priced items don't neccesarily mean more success if they are'nt large enough). You may think that the DSP Systems sales are'nt too great but i assure you there is VERY good reasons UA did'nt go Native and released $1400 hardware instead . Hardware is what they like to sell for several reasons and money being one.



EDITED:

Yeah, I know. The margins on the XITE-1 are considerable for both S|C and the dealers, so they don't have to sell thousands and thousands of them to stay afloat.

I just thought it was funny that people are waving around virtually meaningless statistics while hoping that S|C is doing well. I think sales will be slow and steady for them and give them the necessary money to build cost-reduced versions in the future to expand the customer base.

I hope they are doing well so we can get past the compatability mode and get a few quality XITE-1 reverbs.
But I agree the XITE-1 is going to take some time.
I am actually surprised they sold as many as they have.
Laptop and MacPro users will definately give them a nice boost when the drivers and parts become available.
I'll be taking mine to Nashville in October for a Joe Bob gig, but the only thing guys will want to see is how I am getting the B2003 to work so well.
There are very few guys using any kind of DAW for live work that I know out there.
But the town has an incredible amount of recording studios with the best gear around.
A good friend of mine was debating on buying the Grace Design monitor controller but decided to watch the owners money a little more carefully and opted for the Crane Song Avocet instead.
A damn monitor controller for a few large.......I spose they're doing just fine.

as is #2 (about the same price). amazing, all in all.

Why does the price change with language?

MidiMusic doesn't offer it yet! Maybe the website is not up to date...

VAT is probably different between GB and IT

pollux wrote:VAT is probably different between GB and IT

yes, you're right, but also taking into account VAT difference (15% GB declared at bottom of the page, 20% IT), the price is different!

prices without VAT would be:

2338 (GB)
2415 (IT)



also the text about saving says different percentages:

GB: You save: 509 (equals 15.92%)
IT: You save: 299 (equals 9.35%)

Am I missing something?

what about asking thomann?

Good point.
Consider this forum to consist of a colorful mixture of fanboys, tech freaks, a few posers, wafflers and bloviators and some people dying from thirst for a scope renewal since 2002. This will explain most of the reactions

you forgot buzzkills, negativators, and pessimists

Whether the Thomann chart means anything or not, Xite IS on the list, it's a good product, and could use the support in this crazy marketplace.

yeah, like decent sales is meaningless...

it would be great if the homo superiosis wouldn't spend so much time trying to rain on the homo sapiens' joy....

As a fanboy/tech freak/poser (but none of those other things, dammit!), I will say that my thirst has been marvelously slaked...and good XITE sales can only keep me quenched!

Slurp, slurp, slurp,

Wow. Where did that come from? You seemed like such a nice guy at NAMM.
