Though it doesn't appear to be in freezes/exports, while listening/working on a project with Little Plate in it, I get periodic (not equally times) "chirps"

Does anyone else get this?

I wonder if you just experienced same issues from this thread:

First, sorry for late reply.

Could you do the same thing with Smooth Operator from that video as Soothe 2?  (I think Smooth Operator is on sale right now for $39 when I looked yesterday)

Yes, well similar. I have Soothe (1st gen.) and Smooth Operator and when I compared them, Soothe was a bit more subtle in effect. You can go really heavy handed with Soothe and still get subtle processing. With Smooth Operator you just have to be more careful, but it has sidechaining feature built in, that's exactly what you're looking for and similar to what Trackspacer does. They are both really great plugins for that (and quick in setting up). I wouldn't care much about it as I like ducking signal with a regular wide band compressor, it's not like the spectral feature will take my mixes to another level, but these two are simple workflow for sure.

My understanding is that Soothe is focusing specifically on unwanted resonances, that's why it's usually more subtle. If you use it to send a sidechain signal for ducking, then you basically will be carving out space mostly based on vocal's unwanted resonances (I didn't try to push it and see what comes out). Smooth Operator can do that, but then it can do spectral balancing, and then also sidechaining, it seems as it's the best compromise between features, quality and price. For just taming unwanted resonances Soothe is probably best though.

A "very exciting" new plugin? My guess it's A CALMDOWNER

Budget friendly alternatives? Unsure but i guess before soothe people were just automating bell curve eq cuts. Soothe was on sale last BF for $140 i think?

Wide band ducking by sidechaining any hardware compressor, I believe that's how they did it in studios for decades. Good engineer is all it takes  

What the OP video is showing is basically a technique I would describe as spectral sidechaining, just the sidechain signal is based on soothe's resonances, and that's it. IMO plugins like the Trackspacer or Smooth Operator would be the cheap alternatives, Gulffoss is too expensive for a cheap alternative 😆

EDIT:  yep, most of these suppressors could serve as a cheaper alternative

I hit Delete every time I read one of these posts. Not sure I'm doing something bad or good but one thing I noticed is I suddenly recovered a lot of disk space  

It's impossible... I'm missing the rest!

Oh I got it now...

If you hit "Install", it will start the download - at least that's how its working here.  I reverted back to an older version of Native Access because the new one, well...

Thanks. It didn't for me, it asked me to navigate for the library. But then I remembered that, on the other PC, I performed some steps to reset the NI Access because it was nearly dead on me, no updates, no downloads, etc. I tried there and it worked! I should try resetting NI Access here on laptop probably. And yeah, I want to stay on the older version as long as possible because the new one, well...

It's too bad there's no mixer, though...

There is a paid version that has the mixer so to me this free version serves more as a teaser, a nice one though it seems. Unfortunately I won't be able to download the library because I still use old version of NI Access, the website claims it requires Kontakt 6 Player but video is already showing Kontakt 7 Player and the newer NI Access where the 'download' button pops-up but here in the old NI Access there's only 'locate', too bad.

Oh no, not another synth I will actually use. And not now! Wait, they gave discount for owners of the other models... oh well, kids will get less sweets this month 🤣

Bad strategy.

How long you guys give the M32 before they'll eventually retire it? I'm considering buying it, but... I should probably just stick to my Nektar too.

How many LA-2As does one need?

How many slots do you have in your rack?  

I missed it too, so I hope there were no useful links and references to other free and paid software in that thread that gone away with it, as that happens alot here on the forum and I often make notes of them.

I read that BFD has great cymbals so when I saw that there was a free BFD Player released, I was hoping for getting some of these great cymbals with a simplified cheaper player, but I get it now that's not the case, right?

BUT I did read at Gearslutz that you may indeed uninstall UA Connect and all will still run fine!

^^ Yes, you can uninstall UA Connect and they will still run fine.

Confirming, that's what I do anyway and yes it works. Plus the change of license type to computer based (from cloud based only) is very welcome too. Shame that the other two plugins I have are cloud based only, makes them risky when using in projects that take long time to work on.

I just checked if it’s in my iLok account, and it is. No need to download UA connect for now. 

I thought we need the UA Connect to be able to install their plugins? Please tell me if there is a hidden way to install singles I beg you 😄 (or I can always uninstall Connect afterwards...)

and this one have ilock computer base .-) which is for me big +

Indeed, I had to check this out personally to believe it, because all other (two;) UAD plugins I already have are cloud based **ONLY**, but it seems you're right in this case, which is a big + for me as well. I have a handful of cloud based plugins which I tend to avoid using in my projects so I avoid buying these type of plugins too now.

I get a feeling Windows is almost an afterthought for many plugin manufacturers.

"Yeah, right. What’s it called? Windows? I guess we have to make an installer for that as well. Oh, putain! I have to catch the bus in ten minutes, but I’ll try to squeeze it in! Isn’t there a Windows computer somewhere down in the basement?"

This is exactly how I imagine it! 😂

it's not ideal but I'd have followup questions if Windows does have a "real" msregsvv.dll 

probably something more like "msregsvr.dll" see the visual similarity

This situation is made even worse as IKM refuse to sign their Windows installers (saving approx $10!).

Actually between $179 USD to $499 USD a year, cheaper if you buy multiyear packages.  Apple certs run around $100 per year.
(maybe $10 if you consider splitting that cost over their numerous products)
I've seen some cheaper Windows certs but they're issued per person not per company.
But do 100% agree that a company IKM's size really should have their products signed.

If I was IKM, I would probably do a quick nice group buy just for collecting money for the necessary signing (hint.. hint..)

I'd wait for sure. These aren't uncommon prices from memory and BF could be a good one for a number of Devs this year I suspect.

Good idea, thanks. Also I already have the SEM and would wish if they could offer some nice upgrade or crossgrade, preferably on top of BF or Xmas sale. One can wish 😃.

You would unauthorize on the computer on which you're running the product.  If you for some reason no longer have access and the extra 2 authorizations don't cover you (noting that the EULA has always stated 3 installed devices) see the end where it states you can contact us as you would have if you ran out with the 10.

But that's counter-intuitive, the very best reason for introducing the ability to de-authorize in any sort of Manager app, or in the online account, is to de-authorize some old machines we have no longer access to. And then to manage all current authorizations obviously.

At least that's how it's done by other brands, oh well...
