If this is true (not sure that it is), I suspect in many cases either the question was answered (in whole or in part) or there was a request for more information (maybe both) and well-intentioned CbB do-gooders wanted either to add their own thoughts for the benefit of others who might read the thread or to comment on the OP's failure to return (or maybe to lambaste the OP for some reason) or to get into a discussion about why threads like that should be automatically closed which in turn generates even more discussion. It might be a "fun" research project to assess how conversations shift focus after someone comments about the OP having been long gone.

(1) I am not sure where we disagree and where we agree. That said, I stand by what I said and am willing to leave it as it stands with a clarification of where I was coming from. (2) I feel strongly that your red flags post in both style and content and your critical judgments based upon the website as you experienced it might inadvertently cause readers to dismiss from consideration some plug-ins that might work for them if they tried them out. (3) I guess we are disagreeing about the value and validity of making judgments based on personal experiences. Not 100% sure, though. I have no issues with your using your personal experiences to make decisions for yourself. Oh--as for advising me that it would make more sense for me to download some of his plug-ins and share my thoughts [presumably about specific plug-ins], thank for the suggestion. I know I downloaded and tried a couple; not sure which ones. As a fan of delay / echoes, I probably downloaded and test drove a delay plug-in. I know I had a very cordial discussion with an independent developer about a plug-in I tried out. Not sure if it was one from Stagecraft or from someone else. I did indeed look for the correspondence yesterday but didn't find it. So I am not sure it was a Stagecraft plug or what. If I find out it was from Stagecraft, I will do another test drive and share my impressions in hope that it helps someone here. Just so you know, just because I don't use specific plug-ins, that doesn't mean others wouldn't find value in them. PS: I just looked at the SC plug-ins I have installed on my PC. I have Armory, AutoFilter, Bitcrusher, and Delay; so I was probably correct in recalling my experiences with SC Delay. FWIW, as a fan of echo/delays I have sometimes used multiple ones from different manufacturers. I accept that some people might choose never to do anything like this. That's OK with me. Peace.

I stand by my assessment of your claim (red flag # 1) both for what it says and for what it implies. In addition your new (not previously raised) corollary about websites that aren't (and are) designed to look good on mobile phones also says nothing about the quality of the products made available at that site. Yes, I disagree that website design correlates with product quality. I was also sharing my thoughts. One set of small points related to the website's automated response system and the developer's personal responsiveness: When I originally used the website I found that the automatic turnaround (acknowledgement / license / serial number) was fast and effective unlike many professional-looking sites with more modern website designs. When the developer took the initiative to send out an e-mail about a newly discovered issue with a plug-in stating what the issue was and what would be done to fix it, I took the opportunity to revisit the site and to try some of the other freebies. Again, the responsiveness of the website was fast and effective with one exception. When I e-mailed the developer that the website did not send out a similar acknowledgement / access reply for one of the products, he replied promptly and reported that he found the reason for the issue I called to his attention. When I looked immediately after getting the reply, it was fixed. The reply was not defensive or dismissive (unlike some replies I have seen and heard about from some huge companies with fancy websites.) As for your stated and implied points about mobile phones and using their website designs and functionality as standards to judge the professionalism of plug-in makers, I have used mobile apps from big budget international corporations that have very slick, very professional-looking websites that have major issues. In fact, I called several companies to try to work through some of the issues ("am I doing something wrong, or is it the app") and ended up with customer service duplicating the issues. By any chance did you write to the developer about the Infinity Synth and your concerns? If so, how did he respond? Also, did you try to give him your professional advice about his website design?

This is a specious argument. I can point you to at least one huge company (I won't mention any names), that has a super slick professional website that sends what some might think is a message of extreme competence. However, the website has been known to have misleading, inaccurate, and/or confusing information. No Red Flags based on cosmetics, but the huge company has a reputation for making customers see red. If you look at all of the free synths and free FX threads, I am sure you will find that there are a number of competent plug-ins that do not have professional-looking websites. In fact, some are also based on pre-2020+ website technology. On the other hand, I could show you a line of synths from a huge company with a very professional-looking website that continues to have bugs in the synth engine. Yes, people often judge books by their covers, but the veneer does not guarantee quality content. On the other hand, you can probably find quality books that have rather ordinary covers. Have you ever seen how plain many models look without their make-up, wigs/hairdos, glamorous clothes, etc.? If you have specific complaints about a particular software product, that's a different issue. Your Red Flag argument is dubious at best.

For others interested in the MFX plug-in, here's a link to the online documentation . For those wanting a video that demonstrates MFX, this 16 minute video might be a very good use of your time: And if you just want to check out a couple of the MFX, XELOhh has an index (Video Flow) with direct links to specific MFX. in the tutorial's comments section.

Does anyone know what this includes that AmpliTube 5 MAX [pre-v2] doesn't have?

I agree about the sound quality of the videos. The one from 4 weeks ago sounds like it was done after an all-nighter / not enough sleep or with laryngitis** and the recent demo of how to draw and tweak the curve has audio is super low. I also agree that the quality plug-ins are better than the quality of the audio in the videos. **Or, it could be digital artifacts on the mic line (digital mismatch maybe).

Which one? The beta version video from 4 weeks ago or the recent demo video?

I see what you mean. I have been watching the live stream. If I were into the Reason Ecosystem, this would be a "must-have" for its tweakability and versatility. (I have ReasonLite 11 and no plans to get in deeper.)

Cued up to 2:37. Looks like something in the guitar family. Maybe with the video set to play from that point some guitarists can take a quick look and help you out. UPDATE: I Googled the Band and found this list of members: If you want more specific info about the guitar used, maybe you could contact the band and ask. (I couldn't read the logo on it.) UPDATE 2: Not sure if this is the guitarist in that section, but he should know what guitar was used.

Did you try the sysex view [View > Sysx]? You can turn auto send off and/or you can delete sysex banks. See this and related links.

Sorry. I didn't know Windows worked on chromebook and asssumed you were referring to a switch from Bandlab (the web-based app) on Chromebook to Cakewalk (Windows software) on a PC. You might want to contact Bandlab.

Since a discussion was started in the other thread, if I have anything to add, I will post it there. I started to reply here and then someone pointed out that there was another thread: PS: I get confused when someone has multiple threads on essentially the same issue.

By any chance is it a usb mic? A few months ago I picked up one to use with Zoom meetings and . . . . wait-a-sec. Is this the same mic as in this post?

I just discovered they also have a Platinum Edition for 19.95€ . Not sure what discounts or perks third-party vendors have.

I found some more info about this plug-in here.

Thanks, @Michael A.D. . It looks like there's a new, improved version (v1.13) which is dated 2023-04-04.
