I just got an email from Purafied Audio: "WAVE goodbye to plugin subscriptions".

Let's hope this will be a massive commercial failure so other companies don't try to do the same. Luckily I've only bought one plugin from Waves.

Another 1.7 GB download.

Plugin managers are fine if they don't install services that are always running (like Waves).

These are high quality libraries, but they're focused on ensemble patches. Kontakt 7 factory library is apparently pretty good. I'm guessing it's probably enough for you. Depends on what you have already and what you need of course.

It's also been free @ Epic Games in December 2019 so check if you have it before you buy.

SoundPaint is 8Dio's own new plugin engine. 8Dio libraries were made for Kontakt and they are older. SoundPaint will be releasing a new string library in "several weeks, but not several months .." (comment from YouTube) and probably a lot more later, so if you like SoundPaint, you might want to wait.

They're also selling the upgrade to full version, which is about 33% cheaper. And you get the freebie (Cube Mini & expansion). https://www.pluginboutique.com/products/9800-StereoSavage-2-Upgrade-from-StereoSavage-2-Elements

I don't think Hollywood Orchestra Diamond has ever been even close to $100. A few years ago it was still about $500 even on sale. Now it's closer to $300 on sale.

There's a How to Install Guide in the zip file.

The password is in the "Instalation Code.txt" (their spelling) file.

The website worked for me. Rhapsody plugin keeps crashing in Reaper though. The standalone app seems to be working. Edit. For some reason it stopped crashing in Reaper.

$45 + free W. A. Production Imprint @ AudioDeluxe. Might be the cheapest option depending on where you live because of VAT. https://www.audiodeluxe.com/products/virtual-instruments/melda-msoundfactoryle

This fixed the error for me. I wonder how many people ignore this because of the name. I thought this was some kind of 80s effect plugin.
