    The mp4 video R2R included in one of their AA releases shows Stereo Savage being used by user Reverse@Revolutionize. It is a Credland plugin.

    faster... :)

    im a legit user, i think I'm really one of few here that can blame Giancarlo, but I’m also one of few that i can understand a bit his position..but not the customers position..
    Lets put his shoes on…you now are a developer and what you will do to protect your business, family, colleagues and so on? He decided to use this kind of SHIT …well as a legit owner i stopped to buy them since tried few and bought some… Tiger is the one i prefere, but im not idiot, i always askd my self why so inefficent why so big..ok ill use as mastering not mix, i trashing the usual mails from acoustica with code discount because i dont want anymore spend money on inefficient plugins…now who is in the right side here? We are free to dont buy AA plugins anymore because we know that are wastin space and inefficient, some of them are good ..BUT WTF WE HAVE ALTERNATIVE YET!
    So blame also customers first that continue to buy crap…and support this situation.
    And Giancarlo listen to me, stop discussing arounf the network, go to work to improve efficiency and stop using drm bloatware..ilok is good enought, anyway you will get cracked, i wanna see if all the developers starting cry after get cracked…cmon lets us see what the old made in Italy can do..look at IK multimedia…and Hornet..cmon…

    this is crazy behavior from Acustica.

    since users are only allowed to create 1 request post on sister site. i will make 1 request for each Acustica plugin a day. Hopefully, fellow pirates will help requesting all Acustica plugins

    How about you stop bloating the sister site with AA requests as you can clearly see R2R and AZ are releasing AA plugins every day and aim to release the whole catalogue.

    Don't clutter the sister site unnecessarily with requests. R2R will release the entire catalog these days. There's no need to do this.

    Stereo Savage has nothing to do with acustica. Additionally, it appears that you have uploaded copyrighted material, which is likely from Lucas' paid courses. Of course it will be deleted.

    It's quite straightforward. Without any form of protection, products are lighter and perform better. That's a fact. However, let me digress – the way we can produce products is surely more optimized than how a cracker might randomly deprotect them, leaving them all decrypted without any logic, and not performing various types of optimizations, such as data compression. But that's a minor point.

    Given that products can be lighter, the resources that companies save from not having to deal with piracy allow them to invest more in making truly significant optimizations. For example, even though ASH appears to be a 4.5 GB product, the cracked version seems to be just 137 MB, but when unpacked, it's actually 2.5 GB. So, it's not as small as it seems – it's still quite large. Does it perform better? Slightly, yes, because the loading time of the various programs in ASH is relatively short compared to other factors, and it was already fast. The real issue is that when we did the true optimization, using the resources – i.e., investing the money we earned because we had less piracy – we managed to reduce the product size to 450 MB with protection, simply by implementing better techniques. Clearly, now with very little protection, it's a 250 MB product and even better. But if piracy exists, there will always be a need for investment to make the product heavier, and without this investment, there are no resources, and the product will never evolve.

    Now, consider this factor. We are potentially interested in improving Sand. And as you know, Sand could become not only smaller but also lighter. Here's an extreme scenario: if piracy somehow impacts Sand's sales, because no one is interested in purchasing it anymore, what incentive do I have to improve it? Will you ever have a version that is truly better? That's the question you need to ask yourself.

    from a previous post of yours it looks like acustica audio wouldn't even exist because of cracked softwares and how they helped you get where you are...

    There seems to be some confusion about this topic. We are not at all sad or discouraged, to be honest. Right now, the added popularity is actually increasing our sales. So, your comment doesn't make much sense to me. The problem would have arisen if we hadn't used these forms earlier because being in a niche and making products for a very small niche would have put us in danger. But now, our popularity has simply exploded. We could probably live off just the Mac versions. Don't misunderstand me because someone has already misinterpreted my words. It doesn't mean we are discontinuing Windows. It means that Mac licenses alone can support the company and its development. This means that at this moment, we are not sad at all. I had been waiting for this moment for a long time. I was waiting for it to happen at the right time, and it happened at the right time. Right now, we are simply much more popular, and you are contributing enormously to our success. Thank you all.
