may i ask something… which is the logic behind (generously) offering a free plugin but hiding it behind an iLok (which is mainly used to avoid piracy)?

In reply to TOM DAY. Yeah, now it is like that. He got your response almot 7 years after he commented. Anyways, you can only download the plug-in right from the installer.

These are not ALL free plugins in the package right?

HELP!!

I LOVE this plugin but when I download the RTAS installer Saturation Knob is missing!

Am I doing something wrong?

The installer shows other plugins but I just can’t find Saturation knob.

Anyone know what’s going on???

THANKS!!

In reply to UserFX. Thanks UserFX, that tip saved me jumping through hoops with the installer. Can confirm (in windows), open the executable as an archive file with 7-zip, navigate to the "$_OUTDIR"directory, then at the bottom should be the saturation knob dll. Extracted it into my plugin directory and it opened up fine in Reaper. Thanks again!

The installer allows you to select which plugin to activate, and then it says that “unactivated plugins have been removed.” But for me, that wasn’t the case. It’s nice to have the freebie, but if you don’t want the vestiges of the inactive VSTs, you’ll want to visit the installation directories and clean things out. I downloaded both the 32-bit and 64-bit, so give that a thought too, if you’ve installed both.

Giving away a free plugin like this is a great way for Softube to market the rest of their products. They make you download them all by luring you in with the promise of something free (and pretty awesome), and then you get tempted and pay for the ones you want to activate.

Honestly 420mb is not such a huge download… I live in a third world country where a 10mb line is about as good as it gets. I have a 4mb shaped line and the download only took like 40 minutes. At least it doesn’t require an iLok like some other ‘free’ plugins on offer (ahem, Slate!) :)

In reply to Bedroom Producers Blog. I'll definitely upgrade my system one day, but only when I'll upgrade my PC, and it's not that urgent yet :)

Just for the record – I’ve hesitated A LOT before moving to Windows 7, however my impressions so far (after two years of use, I think) are great.
