I believe the gong can sound at any time

 

UAD needs you to be connected to the internet all the time or use the physical dongle, just like Pro Tools. This type of iLok protection isn't cracked yet. Sonnox too was like that, but I read they lately have allowed one time Machine Auth. They are uncracked too.

 

what about SoundToys ? what kind of protection do they have ?

 

there is no gong, stop dreaming was my vote since the start of this thread and I'm surprised that it still comes second...

 

Give the guys a break, I think they had a great New Year's Eve.

 

It would be nice if you would also support the hard-working people who represent your gong financially.

Perhaps you should be aware of how much money you have already saved. You also already have a lot of plugins and other software.

Let's be honest, thanks to R2R, V.R. and other teams, we already live in free plugin heaven.

 

This was probably the worst Christmas/NYE in terms of releases in recent years. However, it must also be said that the best was released during the year, and I think it's not even worth expecting anything between December and January anymore. Probably Teams are done with the hard iLOK, we will only see smaller companies in the next few years. But luckily UA is much cheaper, Soundtoys is cheaper and Sonnox even cheaper. There is no point in waiting for more new magic from Teams, the plugins that really matter in the industry should simply be bought. It saves time and you can focus on making music. We should be grateful to R2R and other Teams for what they have done this year, they have been fantastic. Great releases spread throughout the year

 

Nothing more, nothing less...
P.S. UAD really nailed it with their recent price policy via sales throughout the whole year. Unreal...

 

Like they say...
Going, going...
GONG!

 

The funny thing is that R2R never have says that they are going to release a big wave of cracked software.

Somebody have start to coment this idea and then everybody have acceppted it as correct.

 

I think the whole thing falls under the chapter "The dreams I have"!

Someone told me about the dream he had last night: He dreamed that he had the skills of a hacker or cracker and he cracked everything that was there and published it. Unfortunately, the FBI tracked him down and he received the maximum sentence of 27 years.

When he woke up, he was glad that he had only dreamed it and from then on he put $10 into his piggy bank every month so that he could turn his gong into reality.

 

It's funny, Radio, you didn't answer. I send you a hug.

 

What did you mean by that? In what context?

 

What do you mean there was no Gong this year. I downloaded Pro Tools 24.10 plus all the Universal Audio and Sonnox plugins. They must have been taken down before you could snare them. Just PM @( . ) ( . ) and he'll give you the links.

 

halloween gong 2025 is now official

Spoiler: +

This runtime package was planned to be included in upcoming R2RSYSTEM
(in the development / review cycle stage). However, the R2RSYSTEM needs some
more months to be long-term-reliable. We decided to release this runtime
before the full one, or we need to delay the many plugin updates. Once after
the R2RSYSTEM appears, you won't need to install this package.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TEAM R2R Network Block Runtime is essential runtime package for some R2R
releases to avoid cracking.

Network Block Runtime contains 3 DLLs for both 32bit and 64bit.

R2RHTTP.dll : For WINHTTP.dll
R2RINET.dll : For WININET.dll
WS2R2R.dll : For WS2_32.dll

Generally, these are emulators of Windows API that does "nothing". It allows
crackers to block the network access without tracing and modifying the code.

Disclaimer for the advanced users : These emulators does not have full APIs of
the original DLLs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The halloween season is coming. We are very sorry to announce the death of
another huge legendary monster which never showed up before. Save your money
to get the Pokemons and their balls. We don't think they are cheap

We need new 2025 thread

 

Why bother if everyone is just going to guess the same things over again in a new thread?

 

Everything that happened in 2024 stays in 2024

 

As I already stated on the sister Site, I believe the legendary monster is gonna be Spitfire Audio.

A dragon ist a legendary monster, and what does it do? Spit fire, correct!
Charmander is a Pokemon, and what does it do?
Also correct, spit fire.

And the term „Pokemon and their balls“ is refered to the SSDs Spitfire sends out to their customers with the libraries on it.

„The best way to use this library is to buy it with our external SSD — a sleek 1TB Samsung 860 EVO drive housed in our bespoke Spitfire Audio hard case, giving you instant playability. „
