Is this called a platitude? One of those statements like "the sky is blue", that often have factors in them which make them completely wrong in that instance. Another good one is "crackers crack things for the challenge". If that was true 100% of the time, why would releases ever get held back worrying the dev might fix it before they release any more updates? Surely playing cat and mouse when the mouse is awake is more of a challenge.

 

What an ignorant people? I hope they go internal releases after reading this crap..
Never happy people..

 

No, most of us are very grateful but there will always be arrogant ungrateful people. Just ignore them!
And to R2R your works and efforts are greatly appreciated!

Maybe R2R means that it takes a bit of time and, of course, it’s costly before we can consume it for free.
And in the second part, he is saying it is very big. Perhaps by 'big' he doesn’t mean the size of the file, but rather the significance of the news.
Although, it might also refer to the size of the file, since he mentions that it’s costly and you have to pay to purchase it, and he refers to Black Friday.

Most likely, its release will coincide with the Christmas season.


Oh man, I don’t want it to be what I think it is... Again, another orchestral sound bank.

 

I think by “big” mean r2r Ilok in general, and all the Pokémon that actually run under Ilok are the plugins... I absolutely don't think that was all... Ilok got screwed, and I think those cute little witches completely took Ilok apart.

 

I hope it's what you say.

 

if this is true, then it would have to be UAD no? UAD has always been seen as impossible to decrypt

 

I'm not interested in Synthogy Ivory, but it seemed to be quite a challenge, so hat's off R2R !

And to all unhappy people out there : go buy the stuff you were waiting for ;-)

 

Occasionally things go wrong or you overestimate yourself; the R2R team is certainly working to fulfill one of your wishes.

Also not "GONG" material by any means...

 

To everyone disappointed by R2R's latest release, I think we should always be grateful for their +15,000 releases.
Show some respect, please.
No other group has ever had such quality and consistency.
No one here could have enjoyed such a vast number of plugins if R2R didn't exist.

 

Amazing work as always R2R! It's always so exciting to open up sister site and see new gifts.

Sad to see entitlement and negativity from a small minority, but expectations are high for the GOATs, so it is to be expected.

 

Oh no.. What a disgrace.. Without uad plugins your collection will remain incomplete..

 

I really wish it were UAD plugins — sound libraries aren't useful to me. But still, thanks to R2R.

 

My dude, if you're so impossibly thirsty for UAD, just get a Spark subscription FFS. It works out at around $1.90 a week... less if you hop on one of their regular "first 3 months for 99c" deals.

What can you do with UAD that you can't do with FabFilter, Izotope, TBPro, Voxengo etc? If you release your work, your listeners aren't going to know if it was mixed with UAD or stock DAW plugins!

 

never really understood all the hype around UAD... they were somehow innovative ten or fifteen years ago but today none of their plugins are truly irreplaceable... either in terms of usefulness or quality... there are now dozens of alternatives that do the same job... sometimes even better...

 

the "protection" of UAD has been pwned long ago... the problem with them it's the authorization process (UA Connect/Spark)... if it had only been a matter of iLok, they would have already collapsed at the time of the transition to their native version...

 

Another piano, and it's a “monster”?)) Won't the gong burst from such an “incredible” blow?))

 

Breaking the encryption was a "monstrous" task.
