  1. ya, Trash was more of a bit chipper, whatever you fed it came out a bloody mess...
  2. ? not sure what you consider "major" bugs, but fwiw, BFD3 gets used extensively and pretty much exclusively here every day w/o any productivity issues. for our purposes, they have always had the highest quality and more importantly the -most useful- drum samples. everything else has been over-processed, too focused on specific genres, or just plain poorly sampled. cymbals in particular have been an issue, but BFD3 was also the by far first afaik with other features which make a difference (i.e. bleed, cymbal swells, tom resonance, etc). that being said, -any- remote/time based accessibility "feature" is a showstopper for us. sorta demoed SD2 in the past in other studios, but not in any great detail as the initial impression was just not very inspiring. however, a recent SDX for SD3 got my attention with a DW kit recorded in a space where i've done a number of sessions in the past. the audio demos are encouraging enough to justify giving it a full shot. don't see much value in the bazillion GB of 11.1 surround sound feature, but plan to explore them as an extra layer of ambience. ya never know... and as always, jmho
  3. @User 905133 not sure this helps, but as mentioned earlier, had a bit of trouble with the ST Software Central app not listing the correct status for purchased plugins. They also hung up the vst scan in Studio One. After several rounds and jumping through hoops with their support team (quite responsive btw) managed to get things working by deactivating all ST plugins in iLok3, running a machine activation, then re-activating on iLok3. why? ticket closed, but not solved. the CW vst scan also hung on the Tape Multi Track.vst3. SI scan ran fine, and so did the CW scan after deleting it, but the first time the CW scan ever hung on anything, believe it used to scan fine. CW support declined to investigate (don't blame them as it's a S1 only feature). the ST SC app still shows 2 plugins -not- activated, but all are installed and run as expected. NB. could be this box showing some signs of age/MS inflicted entropy. and to keep things OT, finding this to be a pretty useful compressor.
  4. another perspective is that founders are typically kept on for a contractual period of time after an acquisition, for either transition politics or non-compete concerns, and once that's over, they're gone, always the plan. he always struck me as a calculated business guy more than a passionate muso, especially given PA's aggressive pricing tactics which is a typical move to drive the valuation (# of users) leading up to a potential sale, so i'd bet this was his intention all along. and would also bet he would do anything but start another plug-in company. makes you wonder what's up with UAD, just saying...
  5. it is possible to side step the"ecosystem installer" and d/l individual installers. my experience with proprietary installers is most cause more inconvenience than they claim to offer. recently closed an unresolved ticket with their "Software Central" which had trouble both syncing active installations and scanning successfully in Studio One. appears to have something to do with iLok, as jumping through a few hoops managed to temporarily solve the scan issue for now, until something changes again. might have something to do with vst3 "compliance" as well, idk, i gave up.

  10. working for me in CxB and S1, see this thread
  11. noting several folders in the VST3 dir here with a ".vst3" extension and they all scan/load as expected including Tonex, but that was only after a complete uninstall/reinstall after the latest update. could be some other issue given that it's IK, but works as expected now. the latest update from Kazrog failed to load despite appearing to scan successfully, killing the extension does the trick. 🙏 ... also failed to scan in S1 V5.2, had to run Remove Plug-in Settings and rescan after changing the folder extension, looks ok for now

    🙏 for the theme editor, one of the 1st changes made here, although the tool tips are accurate when considering the default state.
  13. 1.5.1 in the IK Product Manager. user feedback getting some attention...
  14. NOS McOne gets a lot of use here. solid, well built, passive, not a lot to go wrong, but not sure they're still in production, 2nd hand running ~$200.
