    This is not a Gong, this is a THUNDERBOLT

    -Much respect to R2R, this isn't a criticism.-

    There were some problems with the last release. You can see it if you go to the relevant thread. If I remember correctly: presets, volume levels, panning and parameters were buggy.

    It's all so clear now... Al Jorgensen is R2R, confirmed!

    That release has serious issues, didn't you notice them while using it? Volume fluctuations, slider moving all the way to the right, panning issues, a lot of broken presets, sound frequency jumps left and right on reflection patterns, and many others. All the problems have been described and confirmed by many users; you can find them under the release's comments on the sister site. R2R never intended/couldn't fix the problem, and being arguably the most important reverb in the industry and certainly the most useful in many areas of the audio world, it remains a great shame even so many years later.

    I don't believe not fixing it is intended, usually R2R fixes bugs once reported, all teams do the same with R2R releasing (Fixed) just in a few, other teams with tags like Rev2, Rev3.... Until it's fixed simply because it's doable, if R2R didn't fix it means there's nothing probably can be done.

    There's no such rule in the warez world. There are a lot of factors that influence teams' decisions; everything else is speculation

    Yep, sometimes the simplest answer really is just "nah, I don't feel like messing with it"

    I don't really understand why you guys are all so excited about some accounting thing?!?!

    R2R,
    or "Record to report" is a Finance and Accounting (F&A) management process which involves collecting, processing and delivering relevant, timely and accurate information used for providing strategic, financial and operational feedback to understand how a business is performing.It also covers the steps involved in preparing and reporting the overall accounts which are typically stored in a general or nominal ledger and managed by a controller.

    Exactly, neither of them are currently a full working release. Hopefully, things will improve in the coming days

    My poor, brand new, 5TB WD external storage drive is cowering in the corner, waiting for action. :yawn:

    The best turnaround for me with Seventh Heaven was the freebie Magic7 from Wavealchemy. My 2 cents.

    Back by massive demand! After shaking up the scene and catching fire on Audiosex, R&B Gambino returns with a deeper, smoother, and more soulful sequel. Packed with lush vocals, buttery chords, velvet basslines, and that signature Gambino-inspired groove — Vol. 2 takes modern R&B to cinematic levels.
