Thats what most people thought about iLok 2 aswell
Many asked for plugin that had iLok2 and the answer was forget it it will never happen etc.
Than one day BOOM
So you DONT know anything cracked iLok 3 protected plugin can arrive tonorrow or this christmas or new year.

 

its been dong since the day they released ilok 3 to the public if not before with betas, but those who had done it or have copies wont share with everyone, some can manage to sell licenses on a ilok account all together for a fraction of the cost, but those can vanish once ilok staff detects them.., having an ilok usb key is the best option for anyone seeking to obtain demos then unlock all of them using an ilok account.., this has been done but no one dares publish the info cause the attention is too serious..

But here is good news that comes out of recent bad news....now that the world is changing aggressively, and that is everything will be subscription based and end up {K} like adobe waves etc..only companies should pay for plugins lol!

 

Gotta disagree with your speculation there. McDSP is up there with the best and most respected plugin companies among mix engineer vets that there is. Probably top 5. Probably on Softube level. I highly doubt that if it was crackable they would've just left it off the priority list. I suspect that the new ilok is too tight (for now). Most of the uncracked companies that are left are using the new ilok protection

 

First rule of computer tech is - NOTHING IS UNCRACKABLE...

re: McDSP wasn't dogging them just sussing out when the last time there was a scene drop from them. Doesn't anyone READ anymore?

I read that somewhere else. It installs other stuff as well, according to someone over at gearspace, something for NI Access. The files are crashpad_handler.exe and elevate.exe. UA is active in that thread and they didn't correct the user so I'm assuming it's true for now. The user said it leaves stuff behind after using the uninstaller as well but that isn't too uncommon. I often have to go digging for leftovers.

 

Why are you stereotyping Waves users? It's obvious that you don't like Waves but that's your problem. Just go on to Youtube and see the amount of non famous people who are actually using Waves in their templates.

That's quite an assumption. But that's all it is, an assumption.

 

Did I ever tell you I do not use Waves and use UAD instead? Where? Like I would give UAD my money.
I almost began to, but luckily they reminded me what sort of company they are within the first week.

I am sure people put lots of videos up on Youtube using all sorts of cracked plugins. You have no idea who is paying for what. Youtube may delete your video if you are showing a demo of a product or something. But if you are doing a little video on how to make a Trap track; Youtube will not have a single clue about it; just like they won't know when that same person has a song on the radio making lots of money and used cracked plugins to make the track. Are they going to call the studio where it was recorded? How will they know?

But what do exist are Waves plugins from guys who "use them", their names are all over in them as presets they have contributed to them. And those same dudes in other production videos talking about what they are using. Guess what they aren't.

The only "assumption" which has occured is you assuming you know what you are talking about. I already knew that 2 pages ago. Don't bother with another joke witty reply. i'm done reading your BS.

but the leftovers is not a uad thing, but the wrapping itself. exe files do not have instructions to point to also delete leftovers (to which msix have if i'm not mistaken, but not a lot of people are familiar with that file naming... and it is not commonly used)

 

amen, everyone cant stand WAVES because of their greedy policy, I compared allot of their plugs against UAD and PA, they are great but..it is what it is, I rather give UAD money...but I cant wait till they are available other wise ;) then again when will they add more native plugs!, so slow!

 

Hey, if you've got the skills to port code from a SHARC DSP to an Intel or M1/M2 chip then go apply at UAD and show them just how fast it should be done..

 

Weren't Cubase 6 to 11 uncracked? Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

hi Steve slate, UAD already ported those plugins exclusively for UAD into Intel M1-M2..these are already out there for Windows and I understood within weeks to come for Macs.

As for the plugins exclusively for UAD hardware that talk is ongoing but...it's been done, I already seen people both online and offline using stuff they never paid for with their apples hardware. , people I dont really personally know and because its UAD its only between hardware owners obviously. , the gaslighting about ilok3 never cracked while loads of stuff is only shows how saturated the market is thats its got to the point where its possible developers are behind attacking their companion's products while others do it to their own as a way to promote themselves.

 

Possible? All you have to see is examples of Teams explaining to developers better ways to do things cryptographically in nfo file statements. And which specific versions of JUCE to use. Most reverse engineering of Intellectual Property is not audio related software and done to just make it free for others to use. That's not any secret.

There is a "famous" scene interview that has been posted around with Sandor of Radium scene fame from about 1997; and at one point he begins discussion of something radically new and different. What he described, is iLok.

 

When you're unable to pay via Paypal or Creditcard, Try Buying the bundle via Thomann. I had to. Very satisfactory bundle so far.

 

NO the "leftovers" as you call them are done by almost every big software dev. Many do not make the leftovers easy to find either. These things serve as deterrents for installing warez'd releases or forbid things like multiple installs their software etc... These things take many forms;
reg entries, hidden files, empty files, hidden folders, files, folder, reg entries using the system account so they are difficult to delete... Luckily there are tools we can use to get their garbage-ware off our systems.

 

They dont add more NATIVES because they want to keep the route open to more sales of their shitty DSP hardware. Personally, the ONLY GOOD uad native plugin is a CRACKED uad native plugin. And the more the merrier.

 

the point wasn't that, but the fact that exe files do not have the extra instructions to also delete those files from the system like msix ones have

 

UAD have an application like that, for Macs to run when an installation fails. You uninstall things like normal using their uninstaller application, and there is still junk left which will prevent you from reinstalling their software. That extra application deletes all those other files too, and obviously they could have created that and included it into their uninstaller or other support documents. For whatever reasons...

Very few installer/uninstallers leave absolutely no trace of them after they are removed. it's what makes Revo very nice but that isn't even perfect. Any really heavy-handed attempts to get "perfect" results could end up wiping out other files you wanted to keep.

 

i don't disagree my friend. my point was that exe file do not have the extra instructions. microsoft created the format msix that must include instructions to uninstall everything from the system (even to clean the registry if i'm not mistaken)

 

I wonder when UAD lost the right to call the tape delay "Roland RE-201 Space Echo"?
