Focusrite Release Red 2 and Red 3 Plugins

http://us.focusrite.com/plug-ins/red-plug-in-suite

Focusrite
 (NAMM booth 6464) has introduced the Red 2 & Red 3 Plug-in Suite, featuring 64-bit AU, VST and AAX compatibility. These are the first Focusrite plug-ins to include AAX support, making them compatible with Pro Tools 10 and 11. With its introduction, the new Red 2 & Red 3 Plug-in Suite is bundled with all Focusrite Scarlett, Saffire, Forte, and Clarett audio interfaces.
Here's what they say:
 
The new plug-ins are accurate models of Focusrite's classic Red 2 equalizer and Red 3 compressor hardware. Coveted by producers and engineers for their exceptional clarity and versatility, the original units are prized fixtures in professional recording studios the world over. Now, the Red 2 & Red 3 Plug-in Suite lets you exploit the famous natural sound of the originals, conveniently from within your audio software.
 
The plug-ins faithfully reproduce the sonic qualities of the hardware, allowing you to get detailed tonal control of your mix. The Red 2 EQ is a sweet sounding 6-band design, with high/low pass filters, high/low frequency shelves, and fully parametric low-mid, and high-mid frequency bands. The Red 3 compressor is a VCA compressor design, excellent for natural sounding dynamic control of drums, bass, vocals, and acoustic instruments.
 
Registered Scarlett, Saffire, and Forte customers* can download the new plug-ins for free, adding to their Focusrite software bundles.
The Red 2 & Red 3 Plug-in Suite joins Focusrite's AU, VST, and RTAS compatible Midnight and Scarlett Plug-in Suites, making Focusrite interfaces ideally suited for all major audio software.
 
Price: $299.

I was going to say very good but totally overpriced - until I read those lines. 
 
Free software day. Yay! D2 and D3 free and useable in Logic, this has got to be the best news since the latest Logic upgrade.

Have Focusrite, must grab the free cool stuff.

Two internal 2TB SSDs laptop stuffed with Larry's deals and awesome tools. Studio One is the cat's meow as a DAW now that I've migrated off of Sonar. Using BandLab Cakewalk just to grab old files when migrating songs.

Thanks, Larry!   I've never really used the older 32bit Scarlett plugins but I'm certainly interested in giving these a try.

I went to the Focusrite site and they said registered Forte customers can download Red2 and Red3 and Midnight Suite and Saffire regs can also add the Scarlett Suite. Are the Scarlets 32 bit only?

Went to the site and spent a good amount of time trying to get down loads but could not. I kept going to a page that accomplish anything. There is another thread and a member has contacted support so... It looked like the Scarlett Plugs could be 64bit now. We'll see.

The site is messed up today. I had no problem downloading my plug-ins last night, but today, my account is blank and any link I click seems to change my status from signed in to signed out. 
 
I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall that the Scarlet plug-ins were available in my 64 Bit DAW.

The Red 2&3 are not only 64-bit but also VST3. When I went to their site my Saffire was not listed, so I registered it (again?) today by its serial number. Once registered, the Red 2&3 showed up in the products/support section IIRC.

ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero (Wi-Fi AC), i7-8700k, 16GB RAM, GTX-1070Ti, Win 10 Pro, Saffire PRO 24 DSP, A-300 PRO, plus numerous gadgets and gizmos that make or manipulate sound in some way.
