• SONAR
  • Nomad Plugins - are these new, representing 2013?

Not at all impressed with these. They feel old. Not anything that contributes to a nice new X3 at all in my opinion. Strange plugins.  Not smooth or nice to operate. Feels like plugins from 5-10 years ago. What is this Nomad plugin package really? Sometimes it's not possible to have the meters showing left and right channels at the same time etc. Lot's of screen estate taken up by displaying silly big poor graphics of blue tubes for no good reason etc... Whilst the text is tiny, tiny...
 
I think those old Sonitus (although not exactly the same functions of course) are much better designed and much more pleasent to use. They still represent good professional serious plugins. This Nomad package feels cheap.
 
Can we uninstall this Nomad package so that it's not accidentally used in a project? If so, how?

I "assume" they are in a vst folder somewhere named nomad perhaps ? just move that elsewhere and rescan OR do a custom install in sonar, and you should have the option to not include em... don't have x3 , so can't be specific.

I'm really liking them as it goes.

If you do not want to use the plugins just use the plugin manager to just include the plugins you want. 
 
I like the Nomad plugins and have used them on a lot of projects.

they are old, but they do have their uses :)
i'm not sure any of the bundled extras are "new/2013"?

No they are not new. Several years old in fact. IMHO they are not the best but certainly not the worst.
 
I'm curious, how does one "accidentally" use them in a project?

How exactly would someone accidentally use them? My advice would be to check some reviews on other forums. The consensus appears to be that they are decent "colouring" plugs. They are not intended to be transparent. Perhaps try working with them a little more in depth to see if you can get something you like out of them. As with all plugs that significantly alter the output, they will not necessarily be for all instruments of all occasions. You may find they suit you better when used on a bus, so you are blending the wet and dry signals, rather than just dumping it directly on the audio/instrument track.
