Ah yes - totally agree. Surprisingly, the only one that is always visibly running on my system is UA Connect. I guess iLok, but I only use the USB key (easier swapping between multiple systems). And there's probably background services running for Waves, NI, etc. that I don't notice. Luckily, there are very few companies trying to force always-on processes / tray icons. However - I've never tried to run offline - curious how much stuff would break.

I like leaving it installed, but inactive to check for updates, or install a new plugin, so for me it's not too bad a compromise. The fact you need to do it, is appalling though and they just seem completely ignorant to customer demands for changing it. I've read pages of criticisms about it in their forums and even mentioned it in support tickets too. They just don't care. Same with them force installing .aax even though I'll never use them.

Is seems once you installed their plugins you can delete the app. Plus you can download them. But once again the issue is lack of enduser freedom and not everyone is tech savy to resort to the above solution or want to. This has also been expressed on their forum.

Welcome Xoo and you probably don't.. but I do really like some of these! If I didn't already own them, I'd be grabbing it! Reverbs and delays in many ways have such unique character that I don't mind having lots of options.. definitely not needed though.. Haha..

I'm glossing over this one for now.. I tend to not buy anything UA now unless it's a bundle / upgrade. The best prices are all for new users, not those that buy each item over time. As for their sims, I've managed to pick up about 3 for free, or included as a free upgrade (Luna Pro bundle) and I think they actually sound very reasonable. I'm already pretty well covered with Tonex and a bunch of others though, so I just can't see much need to buy this one for myself personally.

I don't think analog emulations are worthless but at the same time, I am curious how I can potentially reproduce such sounds out of any other tools available. For example, saturations can be created with tools like waveshaper and Chebyshev filter. You can compare what an analog plugin adds to sine wave. Similar level of saturation can be made easily with these tools. And for EQ curve, any digital EQ plugin can kinda mimic the curve of an analog plugin. And then some analog plugins have weird noises or randomness to it, maybe I can add compressor or something and makes some sort of fluctuation for subsequent process like waveshaper? Or maybe I can add tiniest reverb with EQ and exaggerate the side of it to make it more stereo? Or maybe noise with EQ. I tried to replace pc2a and pc76 with sonitus compressior. It was of course, impossible with just one sonitus comp but I tried and put one EQ with a bell shape boost or cut before the comp and put another EQ with opposite(negative ) curve to reverse the EQ. This was to change the sound that is fed to the compressor so that compressor react differently etc... The sound was kinda okay or powerful enough for the drum I was testing on. But like this level of procedure is too much... so analog plugin is way easier to achieve it, if you think about that. But anyway I like exploring these kinds of things...

yup. i have too many sims so not really that into this. but having looked closer at UA sims, they are quite well made. (At least the ones I have look at closer so far).

Cool - thanks. Do I need more reverbs though..?

This tripped me up many times before I realized you had to follow the above sequence of steps!

I'd agree with most of those, apart from UAD. I just rename it to UA disConnect.exe and it never starts unless I ask it to. I do love some of those simple ones like Kilohearts which I think is just an exe installer that runs on demand as you need it to, without even needing to install it.

no brainer as if in disk space doesn't matter

SONARAIMASSISTBUG.mp4 Posted yesterday at 12:38 PM (edited) Hello, Please can you fix? "Aim Assist" in latest update 2025.11 (068.X64) Aim Assist flickers when moving a clip when sonar is in stop position, but seems to work when playing this is very annoying esspecialy when editing. this is Working fine in Cakewalk by Bandlab version see video Thank you

I avoid UAD because it's like a virus were you can't disable their app from startup. I still prefer developers who give options. It is handy if you have multiple systems and give you the option to archive without you having to copy an installed library. Install managers seem to be the apps most developers tinker with. NA just seems to cause problems for some users unlike their older one. Best Service install manager is the best. It's a zip file and doesn't stay on your system. IK rarely updates theirs and I never have issues. Arturia is great. You can keep their indivdual installers I prefer those that have more end user control

The other most common cause is signing in with a different user ID. Ensure that you are signed in within Sonar with the same ID that you purchased your membership with.

There are some additional cross-grades, especially from the Guitar Amp Bundle I think I saw.

Online, but a simple serial number from memory and seems to be the same according to this:

Copy protection?

I am seeing $129 at checkout. Some other posters on other forums claim $79 at checkout.

Albions still going for 60% discount with ALB6O code. Not sure if it works only after you bought something else

It's a daily usage in my workflow when I move multiple clips.

This is exactly what I'm seeing Will

There is no bug; it’s functioning as intended by design. Your first movement determines what the command will lock onto. Meaning: If your initial movement after holding SHIFT down is left or right, the command will lock the clips to horizontal movement. If your first movement is Up or Down, it will lock to vertical movement instead.

On ypur bandlab account, under prefences or so. I am not online til this eve. So I can' t give you detailed infos. Let me know if you have further questions via pm, i m online this eve.
