It's not the plugins that are useless it's just me

Bummer. I've wasted money on magazine subs.

I think life can go on with one less free plugin.

I just use it to buy other things. It's getting to the point of buying another SSD or start removing stuff I don't use. Then there's always the option of buying a 12 port powered hub and litter it with external drives. Developers are into drive bloat. Even with games from the W7 era were 8gb and now games come in at 80-100gb. I look at the size of EW Forbidden Planet and think how synth rompers are overrated when it comes to the space they use. I'm amazed with what people do using Spire or Serum. Give NI credit for having their sounds in a compressed format to reduce disk space.

A voice among the herd of fanboys. People forgot about those Mac users. Some of the best plugins on the planet complimented with the worst licensing. So they create the race down to zero market. Imagine if they were like IK, Melda, Kilohearts licensing but charged $99 a plugin? I guess they are afraid to take that risk and the sub only risk failed. They do get the new user with their race down to zero who starts down the road of plugin hoarding. A lot of their older stuff is still top notch.

There's another Humble Bundle deal that would get removed from this forum. It is slightly older software and comes with SoundPool loops.

Some are Kontakt only.

Same here. It was always a part of Reason.

The small town I lived they got rid of the high school. That kills a community. Football games were a high school reunion for many and it wasn't about the quality of the team. I hated marching band. That's why I never wanted to teach high school.

I still remember playing football back in the Midwest. I now live in the desert and these games are played in over 100 degree weather. Schools start in early August. I don't know how they do it. You have to make it to the NFL to play indoors. This month the temps do drop enough after sundown. There is also the Cactus League where future MLB players have evening games starting in July and you can see those games for free but who wants to go see a game when it can still be at least 108 at night.

Many have speculated about my decision to step back. There’s no single reason, but primarily, at 65, I feel it’s time to pursue more creative and enjoyable ventures, which are already gaining traction. Additionally, with the rise of AI and evolving technology, I believe the business model for sample library development no longer aligns with my goals. Kirk Hunter

Oh I definitely get that. I'm a retired educator. We are so use to everything being immediate and fail to realize something like that takes effort. So is learning how to use a DAW.

Not sure what that means but I don't listen to music as much anymore - anything new that is.

That's why they still require iLok where Izotope has other options.

Both are bloated software though.

They are on my do not support list because of their distribution app.

Despite the IK hate some have did anyone notice this is one of the developers who actually upgrade their products instead of their app? Even the great VSL has upgraded their apps over 200 times. Plus I can download this update from my account. I'm waiting for the crusade of DAW users to stop supporting developers who give the enduser limited options of distribution or structuring it to the only means of solving is through a support ticket instead of individual problem solving.

Decided to try this and SUCK! is an understatement. Another asshat App. I think I will not support developers who do not have direct download options. I think I will remove all UAD from my system.

When Native Asshat breaks I guess that can be a good thing.
