I pre-purchased version 3 based on the claim, emailed to me by MusicLab, that it would be released in July 2012.
I must say this leaves a bad taste. Ok, I know, good software takes time to de-bug before releasing. But in that case, don't promise any date. And for goodness' sake , don't go out of your way to contact people, saying "Order (and pay) now so you can get this by date X" when you really aren't sure you can deliver by that date. You're sitting on my money, and I have to guess when I'll actually get what I've paid for. If I had known that "to be released in July" actually meant "to be released in July, we hope" I would not have ordered. Not cool. |

Sorry for the release delay

All I can say by now: version 3 will be surely released very soon.

Version 3 is still in works. We are working hard to finish it and release in June. Sorry for inconvenience
=====================================
Good news for those of you impatiently waiting for Real instruments version 3!

We are finishing beta testing of Mac versions. Windows ones are ready. We will need few days for our distributors to print DVDs/boxes, however. If they are not in time for August, then release will be in the first week of September. Sorry for delay.
To be continued..... |

By now, any human being with a brain and simple common sense would agree that this company has no respect for their customers.
Unless you are NOT from this earth you probably believe that this delay with RG 3 is due to technical issues.
This delay is due to MONEY. They needed money to get it finished and wanted to sell Rg2 inventory first for their retailers sake. They also needed money for manufacturing and marketing Rg3.
They sold many "RG3s" for months now and they show no respect to those who have paid for it.
Again, I could go on for days, rightfully stating how shameless and disrespectful Musiclab's actions have been in the process of the release of RG3.
The biggest shame and the most incredible atrocity in this cheap and pathetic second hand circus is that there are people here who defend and/ or support Musiclab's ways of handling these almost if not criminal actions.
Save it people. For the love of music, sadly I will still buy this RG3.
Respectfully and in the spirit of pure observation, for those of you who disagree, I will bet that you let your woman be with other man and still forgive her. The same way that you forgive the actions done here by these sincerely awesome music software company. |

kinda disappointed. bought v2 last time in the hope that v3 would be released back then.. it was apr.. luckily I decided to just play with v2 then, never expected to still be waiting 5 mths on.
5 mths on, I did a clean install of ML and was really thinking this should be it... August 2012, to find Mac version still in Beta  Not sure what to do now, v2 or just wait.. sigh... a bit numb from the "excitement". |

Guys, all this complaining stuff which is on for months now isn't really going to make any change in the owners' perception of what is good business. Sergey and Konstantin are who they are, customer relations there are very problematic but you really can't teach anybody a lesson of their life on some kind of a forum and turn everything 180 degrees.
You always have the option to boycott Musiclab and not to buy their products, but hey - after nearly 5 months you're still here waiting for RG3 that you think isn't going to be available anywhere else at the competitors'. So what's the point of complaining if you're going to buy it anyway...?
The only real reason to complain is if you made RG3 pre-orders, but let me tell you one thing - buying a product which is non-existent is not the wisest thing to do, no matter if it is going to cost $50 less or $100 less. It is just NOT THERE yet. So let's allow Musiclab do their job, finish it whenever they finish it, and if we'll not be switching to some VIR2 Electri6ity 2 or similar by then - buy the RG3. |

There's nothing uncommon about purchasing a product on pre-order, a lot of times you get better deals that way. Fortunately I did not pre-order from MusicLab, or I really would have been pissed off, but in all of my purchases that I've pre-ordered, whether it was a book, a movie or software, I never had to wait past the announced release date. What IS uncommon is for a company to announce a release half a year ago, and every single month since then say "THIS MONTH FOR SURE!" for five months in a row! I have never, ever seen anything like this before. If you can give me another example of this happening I'd love to hear it.
I'd say that action alone is plenty to complain about, and I disagree with you that a lesson cannot be learned by this. Hopefully MusicLab has learned a lesson and not repeat the mistakes they made this time around. And hopefully MusicLab's customers have also learned a lesson as well. Fool me once....
As I said before, I own several similar products, including Electi6ity, and while some of them sound as good as MusicLab's guitar series, I much prefer the playability of RealGuitar and RealLPC. I'm used to the way they have it set up on the keyboard, while the other products I find a little more awkward to play. So yes, I will wait for V3 but I don't have to like it and I certainly should be allowed to voice my dissatisfaction with the way this release has been handled. Isn't that what customer forum's are for? |

I always try to be optimistic, but I'm also a realist by nature and if I see that 2+2=4, all the optimism in the world won't make the answer 5. Ah well, we shall see. Keeping my fingers crossed.  |

My personal good news is that my Guitar Hero controller came today and it looks great and is all there.
My pessimistic news is that 1st week of September will be a short week due to the Labor Day Holiday. I don't think that will delay the release of V3 though... |

Leee ++++++++++++++++++++++1!
YEAH!!! I'm happy too i didn't pre-order
I can wait a year for RG3, no problem Keep on smiling
I Think dsafro works for Musiclab.... no one, really no one! accepts what musiclab is doing.
When a potential customer can write some text on a forum, why cant Musiclab post some TRUE information on their forum. Only a few words to tell the people the latest info.
Afrodude, a delay is not the problem. The problem is they fool the (potential) customers.
As i said... only a few days to wait.....only a few days to wait till their next LIE! |
