I just don't understand it... ☺️ I might have to get it. I thought I had Mastering the Mix's Reference, but can seem to see that I bought it. Probably just thought about it. Probably wouldn't hurt to get it. Will check to see if it is easy to use. Though for $29, can't really miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need any more. I rarely use what I have..... Ugh! I decided to get DearVR Pro. Done. Done. Done, Dumb, The one thing I like about PA plugins is the activation is easy and 3 installs. One machine went haywire where I had to deactivate/activate plugins since the license files had dates on them before some of the plugins were released. I think this sale was designed to smooth over pissed off people when PA was stressing their sub. Edited March 3, 2020 by kitekrazy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codes have either an "A" or a "B" i.e. FEB-29-B-xxxxxxx or FEB-29-A-xxxxxxx the A codes are reusable. The B's are not and if you have used one B code, you can't use another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sent4th Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 PA responded to my email and re-activated my codes along with the codes I received from others. Able to get a couple more plugins. I am wiped out until my wife gives me my next allowance. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSteven Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 After spending a lot of time comparing them I ended up picking up both Triad and Byome. Yes Triad can play Byome patches (and comes with them) but they don't sound the same often not even close, you might say its like comparing cousins as opposed to twins (close genetics but still so different even a stranger could tell them apart). If you're willing to spend the time tweaking Triad you might get something close but it's never right on the money. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSteven Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) On a different topic I had issues with the VST3 version of Triad. On several occasion after repeated muting the plugin (because I was A/B ing things), it would stay bypassed - you could see it reacting to audio but the output was stuck at 100% dry. Haven't yet had that happen with the VST2 version. Just mentioning it to see if anyone else ran into it.

First I had an expectation that Triad can handle everything that Byome can do, and maybe it can but the sound was not the same. I will probably just get Byome for drums. And Maybe not this time for Triad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also looking at SpecOps but again I'm not sure how much I would use it. So far I have only picked up LION but I am also looking at one other which looks like it will be BYOME. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grem Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 10 hours ago, kitekrazy said: One machine went haywire where I had to deactivate/activate plugins One thing that is different about the license agreement with PA is, it only allows 7 deactivations for each plugin. That's it. Game over. Now, since they let you put them on 3 machines, That's what I did. Put them on all three of my machines. I just built a new computer and deactivated all PA plugins on that machine. So all my plugins have at least one deactivation on them. If any of the other two machines go down, then I am down to just four deactivations left. Thing is, I know I had them on my home machine and I have rebuilt that one too. I just don't remember if PA plugins were on it at the time. I can see this becoming a problem for those not aware (like me) of this limitation. Also, I can find no where on the web site that tells me how many deactivations I have left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
