Just received an email about an update that should fix DAWs crashing.

Yeah that fixed the crashing part, but all the tape decks sound like sawtooth clipping to me and far more extreme even with input really low.

Tried in both Cake and Reaper with the same issue - guessing someone else can confirm the same.

Sounds like a case of "Beta testing? What's that?" ?

While it doesn't look like this plugin was well-tested upfront -- which leaves room for improvement -- I am, nonetheless, impressed by the developer's responsiveness to reported issues. And he's consistently been very responsive in my experience. Yes, maybe he could have gotten this right in the first place, I can't really say, however, when he was made aware of a problem he was very quick to fix it and that kind of responsiveness is noteworthy and not something I take for granted. I have maybe a dozen or so of his plugins and bought them all super cheap and don't recall ever having any issues with any of them. But it's great to know that if any of his plugins do have issues, he's likely to be on top of it quickly.  

Here's to indie developers who work their tails off to provide the best software and service they can deliver.
