    that nfo is from the end of 2016, I'm sure their skills became more sophisticated since than, plus people really started sharing "The Message to R2R", to cope with those cryptographic releases. When did this message campaign start about 5 years ago?

    had to find the nfo for SIR2 they mention, discovered some priceless lines at the end :)

    Previous release by other group does not work correctly. At least, one hidden
    check is not bypassed. We hope we did it better!

    Since the beginning, NONE of the plugin by this developer are cracked finely.
    Especially, their new apps (qwertyGO, ButterFLY, StandardEQ, StandardCLIP,
    SpectrumAnalyzer) are not possible to be cracked properly unless cracker
    has the legit license and enough skill to make the RSA+LZMA keygen. Check
    that non working cracks yourself and you will be noticed that some texts on
    the GUI are not shown as it is.

    Unless someone buys the app and supplies the license to R2R (or others), you
    will never see the working one. Hey Mr.Integral and Mr.Sunny aka MAGNETRiXX,
    how about buying one with your money earned by uploading our release? :D


    Our greetings go to all hard working groups,
    and middle fingers to the people who makes money with our effort.

    Support the good developer if you use it.
    We would like to support you for free,
    as long as you understand what you are doing and what it means.

    Even though it's not neatly said, I agree with the overall sentiment. Professionals make the most from the littlest. I'm still waiting for all the people who said that Acustica being cracked was the game changer, where the tides were turning for the little guy. It was finally the most real, most accurate, the most "most" of everything (including CPU usage), but those people still aren't releasing the world class mixes they said it was now possible. Always waiting for the next plugin, for the fabled hardware EQ that will magically fix all the bad digital EQ choices they make. Funny stuff, but it's like that in every community. R2R can dump the entire UAD catalog and nothing will change. People claim for Gold Clip while it's already out, the Lavry sound is in Standard Clip (Soft Clip Pro). Always the next thing.

    Funny thing is, I can't wait for UAD to be released. I remember when people wanted Plugin Alliance. They now have PA, but now that you can have it, they suck. UAD will have the same fate. The plugins are fine, I think they used to make more sense when some dude who got into coding plugins during the pandemic wasn't putting out better sounding "analog" plugins in less time. All current big name companies survive only on their name alone, that they built during a time no one else was making plugins. Now you can just go on AliExpress and buy a bunch of lab equipment, measure everything and code a plugin if you have the skills for the job. It's as democratized as good converters in audio interfaces.

    I just noticed something...
    In the Pro Tools 2021 release, R2R stated "A gong is waiting for something..." Now they're saying "huge legendary monster which never showed up before."
    Could it be that it was supposed to show up before, but was waiting for something? Pro Tools release immenent? A lot of people were saying that they expected a full release shortly after the AAX unlocker release, but it never showed up.

    The Xils 5000 Vocoder was released on 01/01/17. It emulates the EMS 5000. But my point was how they said people would be expecting big software from them, and instead they got this difficult to crack vocoder plugin. They do whatever they want, and it doesn't always align with the "most requested" things.
