Same here. The rant with PA seems to be about those who have plenty of their stuff. There was a point that many of them rarely get updated and push new ones out. I got a lot of their cheap stuff and never use it just like TRacks stuff. It's not about quality but quantity. I just forget I have them and sometimes for ease and decision making I just use the ones packages in a DAW. Anything I do often doesn't make it to the post production side because of laziness.
There are some developers that might as well go to subscription because they introduce a new version without ever getting to .5 release. I just can't do software subs. There just seems to be risks.
Give us the link.
I think a lot of developers went, "Uh oh, we deflated the price of plugins. We have to try to go back." I like how Melda does things, 4 random plugins 50% off each week. Plus that Izotope deal. IK never fails on those group buys.
Most make the mistake of not realizing Ozone is for the mastering side and throw them on every track and think CPU hog. Mastering plugins are not made to run at 1.5 ms on a modest system.
Trying RX7 on an album recording that is not available in CD. It was one of those summer projects spending hours removing all of the clicks in Soundforge. Does anyone use RX7 through their monitors or use PC speakers?
They are gonna have to come down to under $150/5yr for me to bite. It would cost me $1000 to replace one system with all SSD. If I really need that fast SSD streaming I can temporarily move them to my Intel 500gb drive. I have my VSL libraries on it. The Synchron players loads these quite fast.
If anyone has ever noticed that Izotope doesn't seem to have a machine limit. I've had some of their stuff that came with Acid Pro and had to install them many times on four machines. Also make sure to custom install if you don't want those RTAS, AXX, or install into Steinberg\VST folder.
