Hi Guys,
 
If anybody still has a copy of Rough Rider Version 1 compressor freeware 32 bit VST, please let me know.  Or if you know of a link please share (thus far I have only been able to locate version 2)
 
Much appreciated,
 
     Sonic

I just searched on it and this came up.
 
https://splice.com/plugins/774-rough-rider-vst-au-by-audio-damage
 
Think it requires an account, but appears to be free.
 
 

That site has a cool list of free plugs, hadn't heard of them. thanks

Thanks, I actually saw that.  BUT...it seems you need to open an account just to try the download.  And so far, every single site that has Rough Rider listed (regardless of the caption or the image) really ends up either being version 2, or in most cases redirects to the mfr site - which again only has Rough Rider 2.

May I enquirer why you are interested particularly in v1 ? I became curious and did some searches, and also only found v2. I see this states W8 as min. requirement for running, was a bit surprised with that. First time I see that high minimum. I'm on XP/W7 so it wasn't anything for me.  

Yes, correct, the reason is there's apparently a compatibility issue for people running Win7 and earlier.  Whether it is an installer issue or run-time issue, or both I'm not sure. But I'm not about to risk borking up my DAW to find out.

it's baaaack

Huh, "Win 8 or greater," never even noticed. I guess my Windows 7 DAW doesn't know that because it runs Rough Rider 2 just fine. Maybe it's just with certain hosts.
 
Of course, I consider Windows 7 to be "greater" than Windows 8, so who knows.
