So here I am couple weeks later. Decided to go the trial route and so ended up choosing both cause they both do add two different flavours of the same magic to the sound (you know, like deeper depth, wider width and most specifically sweeter sweetness...) trying to be as much technical in my terms as possible here 😂.

I hate when they do this crap move, I remember Microsoft did that with XP or Win7! Is there a way to manually download the second last version?

Sounds sweet but I'll wait for a good sale on singles... (I like to hoard them one by one 😂)

Changelog updated: 3.1.12 - Fix some crashes with Logic Pro in Rosetta Mode - Fix Windows issue with Filechooser dialog

No changelog.

Yes, that's exactly what I do and way too often mainly because I still forget about the perfectly usable forum search. Silly me! 🤪 But more seriously it's mostly about future compatibility with any upcoming updates. I'm really glad that you at least tried to request that. Apparently I missed any threads and posts about it! See, my initial enthusiasm has come from not understanding the mechanisms behind the ways of how it's working in VST3. Now it's clear to me why I failed with my own tests 😂. Oh yeah I like that best! If there is an citizens' initiative form or a letter of intent I'll gladly fill in and sign 👍

Ok I did experiment a bit.. deleting the presets from disk doesn't stop them from showing up in their VST3 plugin preset manager so they must be read from somewhere else. The 'PresetPath' string is empty in their registry. Think this is getting too big for me, at this point I'm clueless . Guess that's the only way as for now for me too. Only if there will be any updates to the presets in future, I would have to know first when it happens and then update the SSP files each time. Too much of a headache.

Eryk, but that could potentially lead to some trouble in future. Say I will re-install or migrate Windows in a few years and forget about all this, I'll end up with no vst3 presets wondering what I did couple years ago to make them work. Wish there would be a simpler solution like pointing to the correct path on disk, but don't know how. For now I see at least 3 different locations. For example Opticon XLA-3 presets are in 'Documents\VST3 Presets\Plugin Alliance' and they don't show up as most if not all from this path, and there are most of them (50). Lindell PEX-500 presets are in both 'AppData\Roaming\VST3 Presets\Plugin Alliance' and 'C:\VST3 Presets\Plugin Alliance' and they do show up in Cakewalk so they are read from one of these places I guess. But... in 'AppData\Roaming\VST3 Presets\Plugin Alliance' there are also presets for Lindell TE-100 and NEOLD BIG AL, Lindell presets do show up in Cakewalk but BIG AL are not... what gives?? I would prefer to read the original preset files from a correct path on disk as that's the manufacturer's 'proprietary' preset system, if I update a plugin and it's presets will get updated too, I want Cakewalk to read the updated presets from their original location. Doubt the '.SPP' way would do it.

(...) Once someone has bashed all of the PA (or other company's) .vstpresets into the Cakewalk system... Thanks for heads up. This got me thinking. I wonder whether it's actually necessary to "bash" all PA vst3 presets into Cakewalk first, to make them work. So far I found these paths with VST presets on my system: Documents\VST3 Presets\Plugin Alliance AppData\Roaming\VST3 Presets\Plugin Alliance ProgramData\VST3 Presets [no plugin alliance presets there] C:\VST3 Presets\Plugin Alliance also many places with individual plugin or company presets like AppData\Roaming\UnfilteredAudio some of these presets do load automatically in VST3's preset manager in Cakewalk here, some won't, I wonder if there's maybe an incorrect path somewhere in registry or what makes them work or not? Thought I'll ask before starting experimenting with copying all these presets between all different places on disk or editing registry

Thanks. Yeah, they are back now... not even rough idea what happened??

I don't see any Unfiltered Audio plugins, anyone getting this?

that's how it's invisible small print: check if it didn't install into a different path than expected, many small developers do a mess with their installers, just a thought but that's quite common thing, I'll check it later too and will post back if I find anything wrong...

always love their walkthroughs

I sorted out the issue by acquiring purple audio's 1176 from PA on '2 for $49' sale and making use of my $25 voucher... effectively getting it for about $12,50 not a bad deal I'd say

Looking for a free $75 voucher, sadly I've already used my $25 one so can't trade

Code not valid for me anyway. Oh well, so much for a deal 😆

I've used QuadCurve EQ to tame resonances in a rough recording and it did a splendid job.

ONLY 651.5MB 😱😱😱 !!

confirmed 👍

Very airy.

Have you found the time to play with your 3340S yet, how you like it? From some youtubes I hear it does alter stereo image (sweeten?) more than the 6100 OTOH I don't hear this strong tape compression that I hear with 6100 anymore. Can't make up my mind between these two... gosh first world problems

From their descriptions I learn that their plugins are far and beyond any other emulations Oh at least that's fine, thanks!

What is their disk and cpu footprint and how's the authorization method?
