The trial is VST2 only, but was only updated last year, whereas the full product was recently updated for Monterey.

Does anyone know if the paid/full version is VST3? It seems hard to find a conclusive answer in Aquarius or on their site... the manual says VST2, but I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't updated.

VST3 is available in the retail version.

My wallet and free space on my hard drive isn't grateful to you.. but I am ?

Quite a nice plugin. I really like the IKM Tapes and I'd say this holds its own with them. What I wasn't expecting from Acustica was for it to be less of a CPU hit than the IK Tapes!

Given the price wasn't far off Reelight Pro which is on sale now and I was considering, this wasn't too hard to pull the trigger on.

This is one of the best, if not the best, Tape sims available...and it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more
than just Tape sim...unlike most of the others...so it's a no-brainer at this price IMO!
