mibby Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Cool! I've been thinking about a plugin manager app for a long while now. This ties you to KVR, but they've already got a plugin database, so there's that. I wonder how well Devs keep their versions updated on KVR? I think iLok is missing out on a real opportunity to do something similar themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soundwise Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Nah, it's just another crappy software manager totally uncalled for. All my software is perfectly managed and doesn't require another manager to manage existing managers. Unless they are going to introduce bargain prices for industry standard software solutions on a rent-to-own basis, I don't see any reason to even look into it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrie Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 It would be nice to have a manager.. where you could created sets of plugins.. to activate for particular job, limiting what you see in the DAW. If a manager could "temporarily" move them out of the default folders to a holding area, when you activate a set, that would be a good manager in my opinion.

audioschmaudio Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I have no idea what it does and why I need it. Quote a bridge between a KVR member's computer and their installed plugins and the KVR Audio website So basically they just want to feed their database with the information which plugins are installed on how many computers and which user has what? How do I benefit from that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For developers who offer dozens of products a utility, that can help users install, update, remove, demo products is a great solution. For third parties and vendors like KVR, PB and other mediators such "manager" is a way to gain more control over the software market. I fail to see how an "extra mouth to feed" could be beneficial to developers and their clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UAD forces it's way into Windows startup. Native Asshat forces you to update. Then you every month you have to clear out the necessary aax plugins, vst2, then logging in to an app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
