There’s also a separate thread on the subscription gate https://www.gearslutz.com/board/new-product-alert/1272298-plugin-alliance-goes-subscription.html

I think he was referring to this one: https://www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/1020707-who-uses-plugin-alliance-171.html Who in their right min would buy a plugin that costs more than a 12 month sub for all plugins? This subscription gate migh have lost them 90% of all perpetual license sales

They did say they fixed the loading times for guitars so maybe that’s why it’s limited to guitars?

I guess IK must have heard this to death, but every forum I’ve ever been to have people complaining about the noice. The convoluted trial process aside, silence would be a far better than white noise for those who have their volume turned up. Any plans to change the trial approach?

The main difference is that it’s a real-time plugin so no editing afterwards. It’s essentially for live use, but I use with when working (for demos and while tracking) as I’m usually to lazy to tune everything manually until the end, when I know what I want.

What do you mean, they all have an input gain control and you can bypass the preamp altogether. These plugins are very sensitive to appropriate gain staging unfortunately. Also, I do have presets in my DAW’s preset manager. There is an issue where they sometimes don’t install, but it usually works after a re-install (VST3). Support have a file with all presets for manual installation in case the re-install doesn’t work. Agreed on the workflow issues, at the very minimum they could have implemented a sorted sub list based on cabs or mics. A graphical representation would have been nice too.

I only had minifilter (a freebie) but still got the 199 price
