Haven't had a chance to bash Reason yet... summer seems like a good time

"Your submission failed because of an error"...? EDIT: it was successful on second pass

I think that Fabfilter stuff is best suited for pros that do know exactly where to start and where to end with using them. If someone is less experienced, Sonible/Focusrite stuff might be just perfect because of their AI part giving mostly very competent suggestions on start. The iZotope stuff misses chance for being a great alternative for it's high CPU usage and is giving authorization issues sometimes. I'm afraid that most probably I won't afford the ProQ3 anyway so I'm just waiting for Kirchhoff going on under $29 sale... or that I have finally luck with the rare $75 voucher giveaways that some lovely people do here on occasions as to the FF comp and limit I don't see anything special about them beside the great name and that they are solid processors but there are plenty alternatives as good and much more affordable.

Nope, Windows 10 as advised by doctor ?

One have to have much patience... ...eventually it will let you in ?

So long they don't require pedaling from me to run I'm fine with it

Did I see it correctly in the background, he uses the "vertical only" Adams in a horizontal position? ...and I thought it's forbidden

not organic? we should have a corner for the most organic software here

Same here. Some vendors put their installation files in these places on my OS partition, some files as big as >500MB. I was trying to free up some space and removed couple of these files and then couldn't update or uninstall! NI, Roland, AIR being among the offenders here.

Sounds great I recon a lot of similar threads on KVR from years ago, devs like Klanghelm, TDS or Valhalla being always praised there for quality, stability, no nonsense activation, no bloatware and reasonably priced alternatives to some big names. With the most recent changes I only hope we want loose the PA Installation Manager in (un)favor of NI Access.

off line authorization customer friendly activation developers appreciation thread?

Don't forget your 20% coupon in overloud account if you own any gem.

Sadly all codes already being used.

Sometimes it could be just 'Automatically check for new updates' ticked.

Yeah, me no liking it at all! Didn't it that when they introduced in-app-purchase in Amplitube, the CPU usage went up? Or am I paranoid ?

From what I understand the big file is bitmaps for all plugins....? I agree altogether it's bloatware but because early on I did start with IK instead of Slate, I'm keeping with them now even though the loss of space is more and more painful. If only they were bit more CPU efficient. I like the sound though

Do you have any details on the products mentioned above? Right. Erik, to the point ? let's put them down here (and make it easier for everyone). Those from my list I tried at least to check and confirm in their FAQs, so they should be all fine for offline.

Plugin Alliance does allow for a simple license file for their whole suite (it's one of methods possible with them): first you have to create a machine ID for each computer, once it's there in your account then you only need to activate them for every new plugin that you bought and then at the bottom download a single consolidated license file and replace the old one with this new on your disk Applied Acoustics Systems - does allow for serial then challenge/response (basically a challenge-response offline activation method) Airwindows free for all

Harrison - DAW: nice workflow for mixing, license is file on disk - awesome, editing tools are being actively developed... I stuck on an early version but historically they used to offer a very good upgrade price so I probably will be looking for upgrading at a point, plugins: there is a problem as their plugins crash my Cakewalk to desktop, but hey, who said I can't use other tools: Audiority - no nonsense license file, updated, some good vintage stuff there AudioThing - license file, updated, nice selection of plugins and instruments Boz Digital Labs - serial, updated, anyone need recommendation? we're missing the Pro Channel versions, Mr. Boz! Final Mix Software - I think these come without any authorization, just install - like Hornet and Sknote Hornet - no authorization, great selection to choose from, updated Klevgrand - serial, updated, nice stuff there both, the instruments and effects Melda Production - license file, updated, versatile suite of plugins Overloud - great plugins, I think you can authorize directly from the plugin online but you've given an option for offline method and to authorize to an USB stick United Plugins - license file, updated, well worth looking into plugin selection and great prices on intro sales

Not of that specific FWIK.

One thing I'm trying, since the prices are much more accessible over last couple years, is to build an alternative plugin collection to the online only ones, that I can install and authorize any time with a simple license file on disk, so that I can even go back to the idea of building a completely offline workstation one day should I get fed up with subs and the like. There is quite a broad variety of choices there: United Plugins is giving best prices when on intro sale AudioThing have some intriguing plugins to look for Audiority good for some vintage flava Boz... can't be sure if it's challenge/response? Melda Productions maybe not exactly into vintage but very versatile Final Mix Software for quick effect Hornet Harrison, but some of them are buggy on my system Kazrog Klevgrand Overloud Sknote (didn't use them in long time though, but sound great once they work) ...and then there's a bunch of challenge/response type of plugins that need internet at least for authorizing, like Baby Audio or denise, Cherry Audio being probably worst of them because I can't see how I can install it offline - it's impossible!

Acha! ... no I don't do subs.

LOL, same here. I just spotted old Fix Phaser license in my iLok account, when installing a fresh new one ? ...but the price was so good.
