I'd go for the full FabFilter suite over the SoundToys collection. But having both is perfect! If I only could get a selection from both it would be easier ;)

thanks guys! The reason I ask is I have FabFilter Timeless 2, Volcano, and Saturn now but I find I always use something else. I could sell them and afford the upgrade to the full Soundtoys 5 suite from what I have now. I find it telling that people seem to think the Soundtoys stuff "just works" - maybe I'd get some use out of them.

Ah, that puts things in a different perspective. For bread and butter stuff FabFilter is better. But those plugins, if you don't use them and can swap them for SoundToys then to me it sounds like a no brainier. I would do that. SoundToys is rather unique. I bet you'll love them!

thanks! :) My FabFilter plugins are now posted on KVR...

There is an update available, no changelog, no email notification, just happened to have noticed it when I logged into my Soundtoys account.

Contacted Soundtoys through FB and for some reason, I'm not on their email list.
Anyways, here's their response to what's new...

Here was the text from that email:
""" We strongly encourage all Soundtoys 5 users to install our latest update as soon as possible.
The new installers are now in your Soundtoys account.
This update fixes known issues:
Session recall issues if you manually adjusted Decapitator’s output controls while the “Auto” mode was enabled.
Graphical issue with Crystallizer displaying incorrect settings for the MIDI and Rev switch (this was only a graphical issue – your settings are still correct).
Contact our Support Team if you have problems using our software.
We’re here to help.
Thanks, Soundtoys Crew"""

Thanks for that! I wouldn't have known otherwise about that recent, recent update to 5.

And since this morning when I noticed the update, there's another update.
Wished they published changelogs...

Heard back from Soundtoys:


Hey Bob,We're working on our notification update system for V5, so we are still smoothing things over.
5.0.1.10839 includes a fix for crashing in Studio One 3.1 and Live 9.2.3 on Windows 8 & 10, as well as updated Pace drivers to prevent error messages for computer-based authorizations.
We emailed anybody who had written in about one of those issues, since this was a pretty targeted fix.
