    I don't think so.

    It's supposedly something that's not been cracked before, hence everyone thinking it's UAD.

    Korg has been done a million times over.

    Everyone speculating UAD and VSL, what about Mixwave plugins, we've seen Kontakt libraries from this dev but never their plugins, if you ask me ! Hell yeah I'd like to try these...

    Like anyone here actually makes songs. It's all about collecting plugins ;)

    Can’t wait to be able to use the Korg SDD-3000 from UAD once the witches bless us… I demo’d it for use in a cover I did and I almost couldn’t imagine using any other delay plugin for guitar, it just has that sound (like U2 delay)

    Unless whatever UAD crack R2R would come up with would also let you indefinitely borrow Apollo DSP plugins, it'd only be a crack for Native VSTs, as porting Apollo DSP plugins to VSTs is almost certainly a lot more complex than simply renaming the file extension to .vst3 or whatever other grossly oversimplified equivalent of that

    I'm more interested in reading info. Although, I also want to test everything that will be given to us.

    Whatever it is, I will always be grateful to the witches, even if I never use it. Because if I don't use it, it will be useful to someone else.
    I thank the witches even if they never release anything else. Because witches are already part of history for their skills shown over the years. Programming and reverse engineering abilities that go beyond imagination.
    Maybe it's an oxymoron, but I say: God bless the witches!

    That plugin is $49 from UA. You could easily approximate it in a plugin chain with other substitutes. Another example of gear mythology and nostalgia bias.

    always approximation, but never good enough! And I have many delay plugins. The KORG one just cannot be beat. The modulation on the repeats just has that iconic sound that I don’t find myself hearing with a fabfilter any roland space echo plugin, because its not a tape or bucket bridgade style delay like the other plugins.

    At least we know that with 2 watches, he won't be showing up late.

    You guys can probably thank Kiké Hernandez you aren't looking at the new United Plugins bundle upload right now.


    You're trying to replace one plugin, with only one other plugin. That can be difficult. You could make a nice channel strip in Patchwork and save it as a SDD-3000 approximation. You ever watch the Michael Brauer Brauerize video?
