LOL! Wonderful, this is one of the greatest jokes I've read on this forum! Or is it sad?

Though I was interested in the product, please not another Installation Manager to install! I guess that some here on this forum may have minimum 100 IMs installed on their systems! That's so crazy! Nowadays standards in software (affecting the user) are no longer sought after, each ego developer makes his/her own thing to the harm of the users!

I own some of those emulations and I still have a real Big Muff from the 80s. Frankly, one thing that all the emulations are missing, is the noise and the feedback like behavior between the notes (and this is not because the unit is that old, no it's been like that from the beginning)! I guess it will be difficult, or even impossible, to replace the real thing as a plugin IMHO!

But the users are no aid agency! ? IMO it's a question of consumer demand that has to be met. Enforcing selling by authorization games is not the proper way! But YMMV! Oops, I've said too much again! (too pert?)

But with a single activation!

Tell me, who does not already have a couple of spectrum analyzers? Don't misunderstand me, it's nice, but no reason to jump to Sonar! Since I have found out that the Start Screen slows down starting that much, I have disabled it! ?

So it seems the only real change is the look of Sonar vs. CbB! If you do not have a high resolution monitor/graphics, then this is not worth much! Also in the list of bug fixes I could almost find nothing that is of interest to me! But YMMV!

Yes, here it did not work (Sweden)! ?

Mere chance that suspicion and subscription sound similar? ?

Nowadays it seems to be in vogue to make frequent, unessential updates for marketing purposes! ?

In some daws it does, but not in CbB/Sonar! But you can also move the VST3s out of the subfolders if you want, it shouldn't destroy anything.

Installed (some months ago)!

Or nowadays Western Inquisition! ?

I know, but mostly the explanation is very short and there is nothing about the conntext in the plugin. Sometimes I am lost! Many other verdors have much better manuals or help!

I would also like a good manual or at least a better help! Because sometimes in Melda plugins it is very difficult to understand the effect of some values/parameters.

For me the kind of authorization makes it easy to pass! ? That's also the reason why I passed the last time when it was on sale! I would even prefer iLok! ?

I always wonder what such "changes" mean? I guess it is only that they do tests with the new versions. Because in Reaper it works even with the previous version without issues (AFAIK)!

I only found out that you have to login to your user account for activation! But this is exactly one of the severe problems of all these machine activations, you never know what are the conditions to keep them alive. First, it is very difficult to find out how you have to authorize and how many seats are available. Then you don't know what can cause a fail of those activations (reactivation required after a time, Windows updates, harddisk changes, network adapter enabling/disabling, ...). Also, it is difficult to find out whether you can remove an authorization and use it again (it's a nightmare to setup a new system with machine activations)! Frankly I have enough such problems already! ?

Don't cry wolf! I fear there are reasons to feel like that! ?

This exactly is A.I. ! I was confronted with the same foolishness when I had replaced my car some months ago (American)! I thought it was stupid, because there is no fallback if the battery fails! Nevertheless I was optimistic, because in the past I noticed when the key battery had been low. 3 weeks ago it happened, I could not start the car, because the battery was too low. It was luck that it did not happen out in the woods, happily I was near a supermarket and could buy a new battery! Strange kind of progress nowadays (ok, I sound like an old geezer, but I think there is some truth in it)!

Waldorf, regrettably another online authorization provider! I pass on such annoyance!

I hate that Microsoft merge the operating system with the user interface and system functions! Essentially the operating system did not change as much as the other stuff since W7. If they had separated the operating system, then it would have been possible to do the minor changes even on W7/W8/W10 and keep old systems alive. Much less trouble! I mean similar like Unix and Linux. Regrettably this is only a wish! ?

iZotope Radius is the best audio stretching algorithm! Including this one is a crucial advantage of Sonar/CbB over its competitors IMHO!

He he, it seems you have the same idea to use X3 as backup, if Splat or CbB cannot be authorized on new systems anymore! ? In any case I tested installation and offline activation of X3 two days ago. It worked without issue! I could even install over Splat and CbB without destroying something, because I renamed the shared folders before installation and reset them. Now I am relieved that even in the worst case ... To your problem: I would try to use a standard project template instead of yours!

It seems it has been a wise decision NOT to use Softube Central, because I've never had any problems with Softube plugins using the direct installers and the iLok license manager. ?
