 Not enough to cave on my iLok boycott, though.

What a bummer. I was all set to bask in the simulated glow of new plugs. iLost requirement just killed my excitement.

Trying to look at on the positive side, it did save me a lot of money...

No such luck for me.  One of them there iLok thingies is hiding behind my PC.  Thus I get to try (and sometimes spend money on) not only Softube stuff, but also Slate, Soundtoys, Exponential, Lexicon, Kush, Eastwest, Synthogy, Abbey Road, Sonnox, Flux ... I tell you, if you don't want to be tempted by those, don't buy an iLok!!

What's the prob with iLok? I bought one a long time ago, plugged it in and never looked back.  So i'm off to get a FET Compressor!

Looks like you will be getting a great deal on the FET Compressor really hope you enjoy it. As far as what's the problem with the Ilok, just don't lose it or you will be painfully answering your own question.

Ok, i see your point. And don't get me wrong, i've never liked the idea of having to buy a dongle to use software. Never really understood the point of it. But when i first started buying third party plugs like softube, Steven Slate etc. It seemed like everything i wanted required an iLok so i bought one. I never take mine anywhere so losing it is not an issue for me but i can see where it would be a pain for some people that travel with all their gear. And yes, the thought of losing it would suck!

You're going to love the FET...that much you can be assured of...it's one of my favs...

Just got through buying the FET Compressor from AudioDeluxe!

I've had great satisfaction from the Softube Mix Bundle. I think the tools work well. Doesn't bother me about the iLok requirement once I got over that mental hurdle. Quality stuff. I've had that bundle since X1 and really like it a lot.

I wish I could justify spending more this summer and look at these new Softube items, but after those recent Memorial Day specials my wallet needs a breather.
