    @timer That's why Waves makes BIG money : you can open a 10+ years old project and it will WORK !

    Now, about other plugins, i fear you'd better render all individual tracks ;) That's what i do on every project.
    And if you like a special plugin, needing a special treatment, using a "container", a wrapper... will solve almost all situations.
    Even, may be, replacing a non loading plugin by a wrapped one.

    @ArticStorm But you see I did try Albino I was so keen to like it I actually bought a copy, did I ever use it in a "keeper" no. I have a rule, use it in a keeper buy a copy.. But I got caught by the hype I bought it, did I use it no..... I dont know what it was about Linplug and I mean going right back to Gakstor or whatever it was called. I kept liking the idea but the implementation, it was never elegant. To this day 30 years of writing tunes I have still never completed a track with a Linplug plugin in. Excuse me for being a bit fippant erlier but even with the power of extended trail did it ever make the grade. Just not sure why......

    I used to love Sophistry. Used it a lot for ambient intros and stuff. Never had much use for any of their other stuff, though..

    it depends on the genre, for example sylenth1 for drone/ambeint is a bad idea (at least for me), its to thick in sound, but albino on the other had worked well for me.
    i admit i never bought albino, it was simply to late finding a use for me, which was pretty much after they announced its been discontinued, so i decided against to buy it, because the keygened version just had a better sounding package for me.
    before in 2007 i was looking for more of these supersawish sounds and albino couldnt deliver there, but it always had some nice glassy sounding pads.

    well i tend to work with a plugin for a longer time 6-9 months or sometimes even longer and then i decide against if i should buy it and then i even ask for a EDU discount and if they dont have one, i will most likely not buy it.

    but this all changed as i understand how to use kontakt(free audio material), albino in a good way, so i stopped even using sylenth1, spire and serum, which i all own.

    well, i liked linplug stuff for their different approach on design, for example loading supersawish audio samples in CronoX3 long time ago was something magical and i know there is probably still people doing this up today.

    so its been a long time since i first used a linplug plugin, the first one was for sure reddevil, if i recall it right in 2003?

    I hear you on the free Kontakt instruments there is a lot of stuff out there, although not free, been really liking the SoundDust stuff.

    Albino 3 was the first plugin i bought... still think it is pretty good.
    now that they don't exist anymore they should just hand it over (back?) to Rob Papen, and see what his team do with it
