Sounds like if you own any of the FAST plugins or bundle, if you contact sonible, they might be able to get you a discount.

Audiotonix, who owns SSL, bought sonible in 2023. Guessing it ended the relationship with Focusrite. Focusrite sent out an email about the FAST plugins being discontinued - https://collective-support.focusrite.com/hc/en-gb/articles/26340401634706-FAST-Plugins-are-discontinued If you have an SSL interface, you should get an email with a 50% discount code for the "new" learn bundle. I think if you buy a new interface, you get them free, but not sure where I saw that info. I have most of the full smart plugins, so not much for me to jump on.

Yeah, but they usually bring something new to the table. Oh well... didn't need to spend more anyway! 🤣

So disappointed that this is the new d16 plugin. Really? Another Pultec?

Same here. Nothing drawing me in over all I have already.

Same. Haven't installed Waves since like v12. But maybe someday...

Ah, sorry! Too early and need more coffee! That is odd about the machine auths! Good luck - maybe a sonible or iLok update will fix it? This one looks interesting, but not really willing to pay $65. Maybe if is goes below $40 at some point I'll pick it up.

Ah, true! That could be it. Probably the case with other companies too? I'm sure you've heard it before, but sonible supports physical iLok, so there's that.

Interesting. I've never had a problem.

Full version. Only available for free until the 26th.

No idea for how long. I don't use much from iZotope these days, but this (along with Slate VSX) has helped translate mixes, especially the low end. https://www.pluginboutique.com/product/2-Effects/50-Mastering-/6383-Tonal-Balance-Control-2 Update: free until May 26th 2025

I doubt it. Wouldn't make sense to discontinue it and stop selling on there site since they'd get more interest in an upgrade path if they teased a v2. But we can hope!

Sucks that IK killed it. Would have liked to have seen some more modules added. Oh well... guess it ate too much in the T-RackS sales. Plenty of other plugs, of course! And for now it still works, so there's that.

Yup! https://forum.ikmultimedia.com/viewtopic.php?t=41070&p=159874

Just a reminder that IK has discontinued MixBox.
