I suspect very few plugin creators actually submit samples to AV companies as part of their release process. What probably happens more often is that AV scanners use heuristic scanners and see that the plugin installers don't have malware, and then (as part of the AV T&Cs that the user agrees to when installing) send a sample back to the AV company if necessary; they can then investigate if needed, adding it to their accept/ban lists. The bigger a plugin company is, the more people use their plugins, the more quickly a plugin can be marked as safe by AV vendors; conversely, the smaller a plugin company is, the longer it takes to get to the same place. The thing that all plugin companies can do (and I wish they did) is to digitally sign their installers: this would be an indication that a binary hasn't been modified ('hacked') since it was released. There are some fairly big-name companies that have deals posted on here quite regularly, that don't sign their installers; I know a signing certificate costs money so an independent developer might not want to buy one, but the plugins I'm referring to are reasonably expensive.

Verbum Entropic Hall is one of the most realistic vintage-style reverbs out there. It's based on long term exploration of SounDevice studio's vintage hardware collection with the desire to combine the best from both analogue and digital worlds. Advanced late reflections treatment algorithm ensures that your tracks will never sound sterile, artificial and boring. Chaotic reflections bring life to your tracks. Verbum is also equipped with 12 BIT button. which triggers simulation of old AD/DA converters giving your sound pleasant and interesting grain. https://unitedplugins.com/VerbumEntropicHall/

The only way to know upfront would be to ask them. Alternatively, you could contact the PreSonus sales department directly and discuss your situation. You've laid out your reasoning in detail here, and you clearly have a moral compass, but we are not PreSonus; our opinions do not influence PreSonus' disposition to this scenario. I'm sure they'll be able to offer you a discount code to use in their online store if they agree with you https://www.presonus.com/about/contact-us

The idea was probably bounced around back and forth repeatedly too

I don't have the standard version so I can't check, but according to this chart, Ozone standard doesn't have the Master Rebalance, Low End Focus, Tonal Balance Control, or Spectral Shaper.

If you can only pick one, I'd go iZotope. Don't get me wrong - FabFilter are brilliant. But with iZotope you get the new Low End Focus, and you get the Tonal Balance Control that helps you visually see how your audio spectrum is looking compared to other typical mixes in your genre. Best thing to do would be to demo each option and see which suits you best.

IIRC the only 'problem' was that they currently only accept tips via Stripe [a credit card handling company] and not PayPal (... or maybe it was the other way around).

@bayoubill If you have an account, have you tried Twitter? They're quite active right now (in the general sense), promoting SO5.

Ok... How many track is that, and how long did it take?

You should also post how it sounds

I've not used it, but the behaviour you're describing is how keyswitches in the other instruments I've used (Kontakt instruments, GPO) work. From the instruments I've used, it's quite rare that articulations only last for the duration of the keypress.

Quick note for those interested: if it's a cut down version of MODO DRUM, there's no option to play the kits with brushes (as is the case with the 'full' version); just mentioning as one of the kits is Jazzy. Both MODO DRUM and MODO BASS sound great though.

Try to contact them again, tell them the date is wrong, and that you have an email receipt to prove it? If they can fix the purchase date, you might be able to use the button on MY PreSonus? You could also try their forum (though I'm not sure their staff use that forum), and/or twitter?

Not directly guitar amp related, but any opinions on their Pro Series Compressor/EQ?

I'm hoping K13 will be good too - depending on what's there, I might even be tempted to upgrade to Ultimate. I'm worried they'll just put the good stuff into Collector and/or use it as a dangling carrot for the subscription service they hinted at last year.
