I have run into an interesting problem that others seem to have as well... I installed the goodhertz bundle to test out vulf compressor. I generated the proper challenge and response file and the plugins will work for the session until I close it. The next time I go to use it, it asks for me to sign in and I have to do the process all over again. I have blocked goodhertz domains in the hosts file but it appears that it gets around this somehow.

Is this just a busted release?

 

Check to see if you're able to connect to Goodhertz in your browser.. If you can still connect, you probably didn't edit your host file correctly.... Just my guess

 

Thx for the reply but that's the first thing I tried I have the main domain and several subdomains correctly listed. I noticed someone else having the same issue, so it's got to be getting around the hosts file block. I just don't know what else to do other than remaining offline (which isn't exactly doable, sadly)

Edited to add: To be clear, I made sure to save the hosts file changes as administrator using notepad++

Not entirely relevant to your thread, just a curiosity.

Aside from the Vulf compressor, is there anything else in the Ghz bundle that you find warrants the trouble of installing it?

I only ever used Ghz for Lossy, but I found a replacement and I just can't bring myself to bother installing it anymore. The time bomb issues, difficulty cracking it, etc. It stopped feeling worth it to me, and I wanted to see if anyone else felt similarly.

 

Tupe seems pretty cool. I like the specific sound you can dial in with that plugin. I appreciate the Q

Did you notice issues trying to keep it authenticated?

 

Thanks for the response, I did notice a time-bomb issue every time I had it installed. I didn't use the plugins much after finding a replacement for Lossy, so I am not sure if that caused anything. Any crack that requires a disabled internet connection to install is a turn-off for me, just because it's time consuming. I am kinda lazy, so I would take my opinion with a grain of salt.

 

I appreciate the reply; we all have lazy spells It's the only plugin giving me trouble as of late.

 

Tilt-shift, Tonecontrol, Tupe, MegaVerb all very useful with a predictable sound and work well.

 

What is your replacement? I'm very curious.

 

1+ for Tupe (Check the 'Historical' presets to understand what i'm talking about). The possibility of fine tuning my song with sounds, textures and frequency responses from other music eras is a scientifical ressearch that i'm very grateful that they did.
