ANY CHANCE OF THE RETURN OF SOFTUBE PLUGINS FOR PROCHANNEL?

I had to let them pass the first time around. Seeing its mixing time in Sonar it would be nice to see these PC plugins offered again.
 
Just saying.

    Thanks Mr. Anderton, but I also meant at a price a bit more down to a Musicians salary. Not the President's Happy Meal.

    I think they ran that sale again last year.  You'll probably have to wait until summer (just around the corner) or Christmas, so don't hold your breath.  But they are worth it.

    Agreed about waiting for sales, always a good tactic

    The Softube plug ins do look sweet, and I like that they have ProChannel module versions. If it wasn't for iLok, I would have bought the Mix Bundle already, as I'm trying to get every ProChannel module available. It's a disappointment to me that they use iLok. Softube should get with the program and get rid of iLok. Even Waves has dumped iLok. Surely without iLok, more SONAR users would purchase Softube plug ins.
     
    Instead of welcoming the possible opportunity to make more money by getting rid of the iLok copy protection scheme, Softube chooses to use iLok, which really isn't stopping people from getting working pirated copies of Softube software. However, iLok is preventing a number of SONAR users from buying Softube products, as users have voiced on this forum that they want nothing to do with software that uses iLok or Pace. For one way or another iLok/Pace can cause hassles and unnecessary problems for users who have paid their money to use a product. It really irritates me how Softube can still choose to use iLok in light of these facts. It just insults my intelligence. And it's partly irritating because it holds me back from getting some decent ProChannel modules, as I want nothing to do with any software that uses iLok. arrrrghh
     
    Geesh come on Softube. Wise up and get rid of iLok and get more sales?

    I've had this bundle for a couple years. I have to admit, the only module I really use anymore is the reverb.

    Just wtched the Groove3 Mixing with Sonar, which is from X1. He used these a lot, and mentioned several times how much he liked them. They did seem nicely effective, as did the Kramer Tape.

    Available for $185 from audio deluxe for members (it's free to join). Usually $299. The normal Mix Bundle for VST download includes the ProChannel version for Sonar as well as the VST 2 and 3 versions usable in all other hosts. Includes RTAS and AAX as well as TDM and AU. 32 and 64 bit fully covered as well.

    I can't remember what I paid for the original Cakewalk deal.

    Id love to buy some of the Softube plug-ins, but have no experience with iLok?
     
    Ive had a a look for some information on Softube's site regarding the usage, but havent found much.
     
    If I buy the package, on how many computers can i use it on?
    I understand that I probably would need 2 x iLok units, but can I have the authorisation on both?

    One iLok should be plenty, unless you're running both computers at the same time.

    Thanks for that, I guess I'd need two, as the computers wont be running at the same time but are in different locations.

    iLok is made for that situation, leemac.  Your authorization for the plugin(s) is held on the iLok, which is just like a usb thumb drive.  You unplug it and plug it into your other computer, which already has the software installed.  The iLok allows it to run instead of running in demo mode.  Same thing when you upgrade a computer - you don't have to go through the hassle of authorizing every plug in.
     
    I've had an iLok for years, running it w/o problems.  They had a glitch the last time there was a (free) upgrade and they rejiggered the web site.  They got it fixed.  Otherwise, it is pretty much set and forget.
     
    If you are doing daily professional work such a problem would be problematical, as well if all your plug-ins are iLok.  So I'm glad for Cakewalk and other kinds of authorizations - I was able to work around the lack of iLok.  Still, I've had no more problems w/ iLok than other kinds of authorization.  Even w/ Cakewalk, there was a problem not w/ SONAR but getting my reg number for the bundled Dimension Pro to be recognized.
