Brian Walton 1,584 Posted March 1 Nothing like a good freebie to have ridiculous authorization limitations. While I have a physical ilok - once you go mobile less USB ports and lack on internet connection means this one doesn't get used. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While I have a physical ilok - once you go mobile less USB ports and lack on internet connection means this one doesn't get used. That's a very good point Brian. iLok could solve it so easily, by simply caching the authorization for x number of days/weeks, instead of always needing it. Even the new authorization methods announced by Steinberg are better in that one aspect, which means iLok is really kind of lagging now for non dongle solutions.

mister_tea 242 Posted March 1 Thanks! I have a couple McDSP products, including a prior EC300 license, and they are the same, only one activation, either hardware ilok or cloud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mibby 2,379 Posted March 1 I literally JUST bought Pulsar's EchoRec last night from the VSTBuzz deal. I'd been watching for a good sale on that one for a long time. I'll be curious to see how this one compares. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had never looked at them before because the UIs looked a little "long in the tooth" and they are iLok. But, I've since gone over to the dark side on iLok. PS. Pulsar's EchoRec is great! Still happy to have picked that one up! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Busted! 😛 Frankly, when I first tried out MTurboDelay, I found the UI very uninspiring. Now, with all of the "devices" in the Melda stuff, I definitely need to go back and give it another spin. BTW, I also have Valhalla's Delay which I've barely begun playing with. You can never have too many delays... A big selling point on the Pulsar one for me was the tonal and saturation options that come with it. I can just use it as another saturator if I want! Plus, it's a very fun UI!

I open it thinking - this has everything - but in practical use I can rarely get it to do what I want. I'm a fan of Melda stuff but other than say the Tape interface which is pretty straight forward - as I go through options I'm left just wanting a simple interface like a guitar pedal with different sounding delays/repeats. And with all of that, it still lacks and Echorec simulation.... so there is that part too. Edited March 1 by Brian Walton 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starship Krupa 3,274 Posted March 1 2 minutes ago, mibby said: You can never have too many delays... Also busted. I've managed to snag A|A|S' Objeq Delay and D16's Sigmund as freebies, and they are both monstrous powerhouses of sound design. The Unfiltered Audio Sandman Pro/Instant Delay bundle that you can get for free (or close to it) during PA's no minimum sales is another favorite. The big disappointment in delays was iZotope DDLY, which I also got as a freebie but have never been able to do DDLY 5h1t with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure there's more too... Is it bad that I'm excited about Korneff Audio coming out with their Echoleffe Tape Delay soon? 🤔 I can quit any time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fret_man 312 Posted March 1 I've read thru all the replies here but I need a little more clarity. I'm using Studio One on Win11. Do I d/l HD or native versions? Also, I noticed my iLok manager didn't allow the cloud license. Only the iLog dangle. Not sure what I did wrong... Thoughts, anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HD is for Avid physical hardware systems. Not sure on your ilok cloud issue, mine dumped to the cloud automatically and I had to move it to a physical ilok myself.

fret_man 312 Posted March 1 No, wait. I see. My other iLoked products are attached to my PC. This is the first one attached to the cloud, no PC. I think I'm good to go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
