Considering they failed to release the beta, I'm guessing the likleyhood of that happening during the sale (both beta and the production version to purchase) dropping during a "Halloween" sale is right around zero.  

Oh I was not holding my breath! Haha...

I never really expected them to drop it when they said. The vouchers for $29 for ever won't expire soon enough to be an issue, but I was skeptical they may delay to see if people don't realize and stay signed up for an extra month or two. I could be wrong of course, but I wouldn't be surprised.

That's so often the case isn't it?!

Although it doesn't say Kirchhoff-EQ is excluded, so hopefully they slip up and release that while this sale is active ?

I like Macs, but hate Apple's continual cycle of milking customers with intentional crippling of products

This... Even deliberately breaking compatibility with 3rd party cables and devices so you have to buy their overpriced ones. Steve Jobs was very open about wanting to lock people in and chose not to be compatible.

The Exponential stuff will work a looong time form now - IF you're on Windows.  Honestly, if I were a plugin dev I'd be pissed at Apple and all of their non-backward compatible new OS updates.  Imagine all of the man-hours put into trying to get plugins to run (again) on the new Mac OSes!  That's like software design 101 - don't do that to your customers!

That's pretty much it. It just about always coincides with Apple announcing a new OS and then developers announce dropping support for the plugins and apps, for everyone.

I'd rather they just dropped support for Apple instead. Then maybe more people would complain to Apple or move to PC and Apple might start considering the impacts to their customers.

They seem to mainly care about their native stuff they make and completely disregard 3rd party software.

I know that was always their ethos, make Macs non compatible, so people have to buy parts etc from Apple only so they're locked in, but surely it's time for them to evolve.

Major disappointment. They should have decided to keep the Exponential Audio R4 and NIMBUS at least at the compatibility level for future OS' updates. Never buying again from Izotope!

I'd agree with that, seeing how R2 and Phoenix were earlier releases, so R4 and Nimbus should still have a while left in their supported lifetime in comparison.

Not really surprised from iZotope though.. given they kept pushing them all up to until recently, they should've made this announcement years ago and included it in their official product blurbs, so consumers could make informed decisions regardless of what site they bought them from.

We probably all knew this was coming, but I wonder how many that didn't, bought them recently and now only have support for a year..

Looks like they are killing Iris, BreakTweaker and Trash for MacOS users, unless they update these for Ventura compatibility.

I wonder how many extra years of support everyone would get if they didn't have to allocate (waste!) resources on supporting Mac versions every single time Apple releases an update and breaks compatibility ?

If this was VST3 then I'd consider it, but last time I checked it wasn't and they've only listed some of their plugins for upgrading, so there's a risk they might not.

I just got a spare copy of Heavocity Punisher Lite or Lifeline Expanse Lite that I can swap if anyone is struggling to find a use for their PA voucher ?

I generally like tbproaudio but must have overlooked this one as I don't remember seeing it.  Looks good on paper and interface layout but no first hand experience.

If you want to pin to desktop for a number of instances my first instinct would be download the demo and get a sense of the scaling options. Other plugins I've tried of theirs do have % scaling.  

Looks like a legit alternative without testing it.

Thanks Brian and I've been testing them both out and I don't think there's too much in it. I prefer the Boz interface and the TB is a little crowded, which is to be expected given it has more features. Correlation and phase meters are a nice touch with TB, but I'm likely not going to be panning bass, kicks, or other deep instruments where that matters as much and Boz does have a simple button for a mono check as well.

The stereo widening, mono to stereo and bass focus on the TB are nice additions, but I'm not sure I would be using this plugin for those duties given some of my alternatives.

Boz does have more controls for the delay aspect too. I have a feeling I may end up grabbing Boz, but I haven't quite decided yet. I don't think there's a wrong choice between them really at least ?

Oh I didn't know that! I've only ever seen it pitched as gain matching, not bypassing sections of plugin chains. Will have to check it out ?

I gave GainMatch a demo too and it's actually pretty nice and does have the ability to insert and instance in a plugin chain too, so thanks for the tip.

I did still end up going with MCompare this time around though, as it can do the gain matching, be inserted into the plugin chain in multiple places, load reference files for A-B comparisons and has an option for blind testing between all of these like Hofa. So it's like it's a mash of MetricAB, GainMatch and Hofa blind test all for $12!

Brian here from MNTRA,  we had a temporary hiccup with our server service last night as you tried to do this which was resolved steadfastly and you should have received an updated order and the ability to download.

Hi @Brian D'Oliveira thanks for dropping into the forum to help and also for the freebie.

Would you mind letting me know what the difference is between UDW and UDW-LE please?

When I made the purchase and checked out, there was no mention of it being an LE version and the email from Audio Plugin Deals advertising it doesn't mention it being a limited version either.

I can see they've now changed their website to display that it's a limited version and yet, the retail price of $25 suggests it's the full version, as that's the same price as you're selling UDW on your website.

It feels a bit misleading and a bit of a bait and switch in getting LE after checking out. But I'd like to understand the differences before jumping to any conclusions.

Thanks

Thinking of the SSL UF8 (and UC1) myself. 

That UF8 looks pretty decent. I've been considering a controller, but I've still been a bit on the fence with most of them so far, for a number of reasons, some being quality.

I'll have to check this one out a little more as I'd imagine the build at least is good from SSL.

Also $41.16 at JRRShop with code: GROUP

That's the strangest thing.. I was laying in bed this morning  just thinking, I really need an ultrasonic death whistle, but where could I find one... and then here we are ?

I'm not sure how much use it will get from me, but a nice freebie all the same and I grabbed it just in case.

Thanks ?

Same! There's a couple from WAP that I have multiple copies ?

If you mean the code doesn't work on the WA Production site, make sure you remove the bundled freebie from the cart. It won't work with that in there.

Won’t mention my problems with this and Studio One /Windows again ….but any sense of whether they are going to upcharge for the Vst3  version which they’ve announced is in beta?

Looks like they're going to be free. Very glad to VST3 from them as I really like their reverb and may buy more ?

"Our M1 Native and VST3 versions are just around the corner (many in beta right now), and the upgrade will be free, so take advantage of this pricing while you can."

Ditto

I've got to say, I'd always looked at this one as a gimmick and never really considered giving it a demo, let alone buying it, but it's actually not bad ?

Tried it on a kick and snare and it does really make it cut through nicely on that track.

You could get a somewhat similar result with a combination of transient shaper, compression and saturation I guess (or things like Split EQ), but it's convenient and sounds good and definitely the right price!

Where the hell does the discount code go, can’t see anywhere? I’m on mobile, is the issue?

I think they changed this a while ago so they make you log in and get quite far through the process, maybe because some codes can only be used once, or you need to have brought an earlier version from them to qualify for the upgrade or something, but it's not intuitive and they could just add some text to say enter coupons on the in the next step like some other sites do.

I hope you got it in the end ? Mine came through immediately. It's possible that got a heap of people grabbing the or something, but they're normally pretty reliable.
