Any good? And this, or D16 Nepheton 2?

I have the PA version, but the "upgrade" pricing and how the exit was handled by them when they left Plugin Alliance didn't inspire me to invest in the product, or the company. Interesting that they charge you extra to use it on both Mac and Windows. I somewhat understand that, as it's a lot more development to keep up with each OS upgrade on Mac breaking compatibility. Bit uncommon to see the separate charge though. The product itself isn't too bad and for some use cases I can see it making sense. I just fire up a DAW instead and some of those are free, or cheaper and fully fledged. But I'm not playing guitar to large crowds, or touring, or anything, so it's never mission critical.

Thanks heaps for confirming

Sometimes it depends on the developer and whether they encrypt the actual sounds, or expose the raw sounds. You do lose any of their customization and sound design that way though. I'm trying to only buy VST3 stuff these days. VST2 is definitely on the way out. Even though it could be continued really. But I'm just trying to avoid as many hoops to jump through down the track with compatibility issues. Seems like a pretty reasonable price otherwise 🙂

Are these all VST2 only, so no VST3 apart from maybe CollaB3 Pro? The developer doesn't mention which spec of VST they are on their site and KVR says VST2 only for all apart from that one.

Pretty amazing that it took them that long to add such simple functionality, but good to see it finally there. Not sure how long it will be though.. seeing how it seems that the intent is to move everything from iZotope, Native Instruments and PA to Native Access.. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Holy cr@p, they finally show updates for installed plugins! I ended up writing a script that would check the site and compare, but nobody should ever need to do that!

This was exactly my thought at the time when I heard they were discontinuing Syntronik and it would make perfect sense. Even from an installation perspective it could simplify things and that's often where they seem to struggle the most. Just speculation at this stage for me though, as I've never seen anything from IK to indicate this, but I wouldn't be surprised.

The Originals at $14.50 each are pretty great value and there are some nice sounding ones in there. https://www.spitfireaudio.com/originals

Exactly, your comment is much more important and brings a lot more value to the forum haha...

Thanks! That worked for me now too

I think if the same thing was posted over and over again at full price then sure, but a lot of people on here don't visit all other parts of forums and so sometimes it's the only place they will find out about these new products, especially if for example they aren't owners, or subscribers to Neumann's newsletters, like in this case. You'll notice updates are posted in here as well and sometimes that's convenient too. There's often no notifications from developers via emails when updates are available. They aren't deals either, but sometimes they're still useful. The occasional new product announcement, or updates, don't seem like much to lose sleep over. Of course posting deals is the main thing though and that's what happens, so looking forward to seeing what deals you add too.

Maybe because it wasn't posted here at the time. I don't recall seeing it. It's pretty common on most deals forums regardless of whether they're on a deep discount or not, to share them more as awareness, so it doesn't get missed in the sea of emails in people's inboxes.

I was reading this comparison the other day that was quite interesting. Like you mentioned in another comment, restoration tech has evolved quite a bit over the years, in comparison to some of the more traditional tools. Might be worth a read if you're considering them. https://www.production-expert.com/production-expert-1/premium-noise-reduction-shootout-the-results
