Naah, there are still some decent companies that offer freebies without the bloatware (klanghelm, valhalla has some, PA with vouchers is basically free). IK is the worst though, even if you bother to go through accounts/authorization, you need to install all their plugins. You can remove the DLLs, but the base T-Rack itself is a massive bloat (over 1gb+) and you have to have that. They periodically offer their 1176 emulation, which is one of the best out there, but I cannot feel at ease with the accompanying bloat.

Welcome to the world of music production.

It happens everytime with a newbie. Happened to me as well.

Ah, also, trying to deinstall now – of course they wouldn’t just let me do it that easy. For owned software there is no deinstall button in their download manager. Just two “re-install” and “de-activate” buttons which I presume don’t clear their s*** from my system.

Verdict: not worth. Not worth having few tons of trash unactivated software (showing up and taking place in my DAW too) just to have 2 small freebies.

Thank you TOMISLAV for the answer and such a nice site.

You’re welcome! :)

As far as I know (could be wrong), you can use it on up to 10 machines simultaneously.

Cool, glad to hear that!

No problem than,thanks for the reply.
