It is a lot less complicated than downloading individual installers and running them one by one. There is no way I would want to do that with the number of PA plugins I install and use. Really, the PA Installation Manager addresses almost all your concerns, except the last. And Installation Manager's update process makes the last concern pretty painless.

And the freebies keep rolling in...

I agree. Why do you want to avoid Installation Manager? It is about the easiest plugin installation manager around.

Yeah, me three (sorry, had to do it).

It not only crashes DAWs, the standalone crashes as well. Glad I did waste a lot of time or money on this one.

I am getting that too.

I actually don't bother with the installer. I just copy the files to the appropriate folders.

I tried. Could not add the coupon with the freebie in the cart.

I doubt this is a $500 synth though. Anyone want to trade a copy of Omnisphere for Pure Synth Platinum? I didn't think so.

I was having the same problem. When I clicked on the globe, it took me to my tonenet account and I could see all 849 presets in the web browser, but Amp5 still gave me a 103 error. So I fired up the product manager and reauthorized Amp5. Then when I loaded Amp5 and clicked in tonenet, it finally connected and downloaded the preset list. Not sure if reauthorizing was what fixed the problem but it is worth a try.

I like it too. Like @Spice3d I like that you can see the MIDI notes and preview right in the program.

Still working. I don't really believe it was limited to the first 17 people.

MG-1 plus still is free. Nucleus was free but that is not what is included here. I don't think Ignite was free. Polymode was never free and I also don't remember Stardust ever being free.

Was it the trailer or the documentary? Because you are suppose to pay for the documentary,

Sorry to hear the operation has been cancelled. Will they reschedule? Praying for your wife and for you.

I have Wavform 11 but Tracktion will not allow me to upgrade to 12. Wants me to pay full price.

This. It is also a meme or an axiom that Valve can't do a 3 version of anything. There is Portal 1 and 2, Team Fortress 1 and 2, Dota 1 and 2, Left for Dead 1 and 2, even HL2 episodes 1 and 2. You will not find a 3 version in any of Valves line ups. Not people in my circles. In fact, most people have gone out of their way to say Alyx is not HL3. Probably to perptuate the idea that Valve can't do a 3 of anything, and to keep the "HL3 confirmed" meme going. Why would you want to take away that fun?

You are talking about Half Life Alyx. Half Life Alyx events take place between HL1 and HL2. So not HL3.

What? There was a Half Life 3? Not!

Definitely a pirate site. The first clue? NOTE : THIS IS A PRE-ACTIVATED VERSION (THE PRODUCT KEY WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY ADDED TO THE SOFTWARE DURING THE INSTALLATION PROCESS) In other words, you will not need to authorize the software with Spectrasonics. There is no way this is legit.

I done did da deal.

Yes, thanks Paul. This is very enlightening. I may give Exodus a pass; I have so many games in my play queue as it is. Too bad because the first two were really great.

I haven't played Exodus yet. I really liked the first two. What didn't you like about it?

Wish I didn't already have it. I really wanted to steal something today.

Why would you since it is a VST/AU? Oh, that is a joke.
