Plug and Mix | VST / VSTi Chainer Utility +update v1.1.0

As the name implies, the Chainer is first of all a FREE utility that all of you P&M plugin owners can use to load your P&M plug-ins and “Chain” them to create useful effect patches and load them into new sessions or even other DAWs.

But If you purchase the FULL version, the Chainer will be able to load and “Chain” any VST effects or VSTi instruments making it a powerfull tool to use within any modern DAW including Pro Tools.

Users can therefore use the Chainer to save great effect presets or VSTi virtual instrument patches that can be recalled from any DAW at anytime needed.

For example, let’s say you are a guitarist and want to save typical effect patches. The Chainer enables you to load up to 32 effects in series or parallel. So you may want to load and save a compressor, an EQ, an Amp sim, a delay, a reverb, a chorus, etc, and save the whole thing within a patch that can be loaded in other sessions or even other DAWs. The same concept can be applied to vocal patches, drum patches, or any other typical effect chains that you want to recall in future sessions. A time saver!

The same applies to virtual instruments that can be loaded and chained one after the other. Effect plugins can be loaded into any slots adding amazing effects to your sounds or instruments.
The chainer natively contains all of the 45 P&M V.I.P. Series plug-ins making it easy to save/load chained presets of your favourite P&M Plug-ins. The Chainer is FREE for all REGISTERED P&M Plug-in owners. Therefore, the Chainer will automatically detect any authorised P&M plug-ins, ready to use. They can be chained in series or parallel to save/load presets that can be used in other sessions or even other DAWs.
 
From today until April 30, the P&M Chainer will be sold at the introductory price od ONLY $49 (MSRP ($129).
While there, we are celebrating this event by making the P&M V.I.P. Bundle available at ONLY $99 (MSRP $249)

    Pretty cool. There are other products out there that can do that, but not for $49. Some DAWs have that functionality built-in, but not SONAR. Sounds like it might be a nice acquisition, but I'd want to make sure it didn't screw up PDC first.


    All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

    Same here, I don't have time to try it now though. There is a demo available.

    Cheers, Carl, but still wondering. The blurb says:
    "The Chainer is FREE for all REGISTERED P&M Plug-in owners."
    Does this mean that the FULL version of Chainer is free for these owners or only the FREE one? And what if you own all the whole VIP bundle?

    I haven't checked into it yet.
    It appears that if you have any of the plugins it's free?
    Intro for the chainer only is $49.00
    Get the VIP bundle including chanier for $99.00

    It appears that the free version works with P&M plugs if you own them.  If you want it to work with other vendors' plugins outside of demo mode, you need the full (paid) version.  As with other P&M plugs, demo mode works just like the full version for 30 minutes. 
     
    I thought I'd try it just for fun.  The download is large, over half a gigabyte.  I also had some problems getting it to work on my system.  I loaded some plugins, but their common VST menu bar was invisible, a major drawback.  And I couldn't get it to load the P&M plugins for some reason.  So it's kind of a bust here.  I'd wait for some bug fixes before trying this thing out -- the GUI is very slick and it has some cool features, so if it'll work as advertised it would be a nice thing to have.
     
    Cheers,

    Indeed, there's the ability to use non-P&M VSTs in the chain, which you have to "authorize" for. Seems they'll charge for that, even if you own the entire P&M VIP bundle. On the other hand, all future plugs were promised to be included and none were introduced since quite some time, so here's hoping we might still get the full Chainer.
    Meanwhile, cheers Eddie, will wait. Thanks for trying it out ;)

    Just got this from the forum. This should explain some things.
     
    Thanks for your interest in DontCrack and Plug&Mix.

    Yes it is FREE, if you are a registered Plug and Mix owner, you can use it to chain any of your Plug and Mix effects to chain them together to make great new presets.

    The activation code is the one you used for your first Plug and Mix purchase.

    The fact it says "Version 1.0.0 AAX (VST Demo)" is normal. It means you can use the P+M plug-ins but the VST plug-ins will be available in 'demo' mode.

    If you have great VST plug-ins and VSTi instruments from ANY manufacturer that you want to use you can get the FULL version which will allow you to chain them as well as the Plug and Mix plug-ins.

    Until the 30th of April it is at a special introductory price of $49 instead of the $129 MSRP.

    http://store.dontcrack.com/product_info.ph...roducts_id=1888

    Then you will get a special new authorisation code for the FULL Chainer.

    Best Regards,

    Nick
