Maybe my insomnia is catching up to me and making me imagine things, but I thought I was able to use the Nomad plugins in other programs.  I could have sworn I did use them in other programs.  Yet, yesterday I got a popup message saying it was installed with Cakewalk and would not work with other programs.  Is this happening to anyone else?  Was it always like this or did it change?

The Nomad Factory BlueTubes Bundle works exclusively in Sonar...
No other host.  They ARE tethered to Sonar.

Thank you.  Probably was a glitch that allowed them to work previously.

Very likely....the only way that they will work is if you owned them
before buying X3, in which case, they would be free of the Sonar tether..

It would be nice if there was an upgrade option to untethered.  The gate worked well in a video project.

Craig Anderton just said this on another thread:
 
"Actually, Cakewalk is going in the opposite direction of what the OP thinks. Addictive Drums ($150) is a full version. The Nomad Factory bundle ($199) is a full version. "

AD definitely works in other programs.  It would still be a full version if it did not work in other programs.  It would just be nice if they worked elsewhere.  Not that big of a deal if they don't

The Nomad plugs are the full versions "tethered" to X3.

I have the Nomad collection and the ones in X3 are the same as the unteathered ones I have.

I misunderstood the Nomad Bundle tethering as well.

Surely it was obvious that Cakewalk wouldn't offer £200 worth of Blue Tube plugs for less than the upgrade price?
 
Otherwise some unscrupulous people might just upgrade to get the plugs to use in  studio one  another DAW.
 
How cheap would that be?
