Do tell what is this think you speak of?

You must be thinking of a different developer called Waves.

I decided to remove many programs I never used. I wasn't paying attention with Revo and found out all of my plugins were removed but weren't uninstalled. That was good and bad since I wanted to remove stuff I don't use. I was surprised somehow I gained back 30gb of space. My Product managers said these were installed but no VST folder on my drive. The 2 worst product managers for me are Toontrack and Native Access. Well there is also Waves. Native Access - it's a crapshoot if a product update makes it. When it fails I know they have their own untinstaller but I usually open up the old Windows Installer Clean Up utility. You realize NI has an overkill of registry entries. Their installers are quite slow. Plus you don't have access to older installers in case something really goes bonkers unless you download one of the Komplete ISOs. They have yet to ditch most of the 32 bit versions of their plugins. If you delete those it will ask you to reinstall and some of those plugins can't be updated unless you install both 32 and 64. Toontrack - this is another one the enters a lot of registry code. Unfortunately I haven't been able to undo the mistakes. So far I can't reinstall EZ Drummer 2 becuase Windows Registry blocks it and does it in safe mode. I went through the usual search for fixes and so far I haven't been able to fix this registry problem. Odd that I could install the 32 bit but get this registry error for 64 bit. Oh but I couldn't uninstall it. So I've removed Toontrack off my system. I'm sure life can go on without it since I have BDF, Melda, XLN, Komplete, and UJAM. That is only for this secondary computer. There is no demo for EZD3 to see if I could install that. EZ Keys rarely gets used either. I might be done with Toontrack. It's annoying trying to find the reg key and attempt the special permissions nonsense. I like the VSL manager since you can remove the product and install again. Izotope does the same thing. I can also go online for the individual installer. Melda's is really nice if you have everything. Spitfire and Waves gets a thumbs down. Off course the Steinberg eco system I loath.

I like em ugly. They look great in Live.

If we avoided most of your posts and this section in general many of us would be further away from poverty. ?

Workflow. Bandlab and Reason are the slowest in scanning. It also eliminates choices of the same plugin in the menu.

I learned the hard way to go with the physical iLok. I usually avoid developers who use iLok. VSL is the exception. Licensing is #1 on my list before buying.

I'm doing it to reduce the amount of plugins if they are FX plugins. There are synths are still vst2.

Here's the verdict. No, the software will not work anymore when the license runs out. And yes, the software will be disabled. As I mentioned you can get another license with included future updates afterwards. Easy pass.

While that one is probably the best out there it's too pricey for me. They still ship the product. Pretty stone age to me. Still no one has answered will it still work if I don't upgrade.

I liked their simplicity but I deleted them when I discovered Kilohearts. I'm tempted to install these again but many of them go back to 2012. I'm doing a vst3 makeover and don't really need a DAW scanning 50 more plugins. If you are a plugin hoarder by all means go for it. BTW that bundle is the same price I paid back in 2014.

The problem is they are into creating more instruments than working on the DAW. Those on Windows have went back to v11. I have to wonder if they will exist 10 years from now.

Roboform and Revo also have one year licenses. The software still works just no updates. I wonder if the software stops working after a year.

This is tempting but not sure if this is a sub. So far from my research there is no confirm or denying.

SO what duplicates did y'all pick?

It's the glamor shot for the DAW industry.

I have them and deleted them for lack of use. It has nothing to do with quality.

Still a lot of bloat for that.

Stuck repeating the same old muscle-memory chord sequences? That's the industry standard.

Thought about this one but the one from Waves, Cable guys stuff, 2 Izotope things, would suffice and I haven't really used them.

that's why I don't bother

Outside of being free from a well known developer, why would I need this? Doesn't Izotope, Melda,Eventide, and others have something similar in your collection instead of looking for some cheap item you wouldn't use anyway just to get this?

Plus you can do your own kicks in every synth out there.

I see it the other way. Therre's so much out there to compete to take our money.

Seems like more of a gimmick. There's no shortage of kick samples out there. Boz has something similar and not as expensive as this. If you have FL Studio they have one. Seem pricey in my world.
