"Official 2025/2026 Gong Thread

News from the Team R2R (2025.09.20):

"The halloween season is coming.
We are very sorry to announce the death of another huge legendary monster which never showed up before.""

Pro tools showed up before, VSL no, case closed.

 

Some plugins are designed to blast white noise or malfunction on purpose when they detect a cracked license. The Seventh Heaven Pro is not an exception

 

Lets get this to 100

 

Fine here.

 

Well shit! That's my go-to reverb. Version 1.3.3 from 2020. Specifically, LiquidSonics.Seventh.Heaven.Professional.v1.3.3.READ.NFO-R2R. I've never had any noise, nor have I noticed any malfunctions. I suppose it could be subtly misadjusting settings, but if so, it hasn't been enough to be noticeable to me. It might even cut out, but I think I'd notice that, as I tend to use it as the mixbus reverb, so entire songs would be affected.

Could it be that this is an outdated version that was properly cracked, and that only newer versions are affected? After all, it is over 5 years out of date.

 

If I'm not mistaken there was tremolo effect happening on the reverb tails that was the issue with R2R's Seventh Heaven but no noise blasts to my knowledge.

 

Interesting. That's a pretty subtle time bomb.

 

I had some issues few years ago, I reinstalled R2R seventh heaven this year and it's working perfectly now

 

this year gong case can be closed only after Christmas and new year
it's still ringingggggggggggggggg

 

Would be great to hear some arguments to enrich your reply. Even the gong case didn't closed yet, at least, reading what they wrote, it doesn't match with Pro Tools, isn't it?

 

probably, you are right but it’s a bit early to shut the case
This death’s still pretty suspicious, and we’re not done gathering the evidence yet

 

it's kind of an interesting model. we'll crack what we want and have you buy all of it for us and dangle the same possible follow-ups every year. in a smaller platform's ecosystem, that sequence of events would likely get reversed. (less possible and willing suppliers)

It's like the Thanksgiving special for some of you, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973), with Charlie Brown hoping Lucy will finally let him kick the football. Same 5 things you should just buy yourself to use every day. And so, the same outcome every year.

I'm still wondering why two of the most gigantic products on the market will be released in the same year

 

why not, Falcon 2 and EastWest FabFour/Silk/etc./Ra were released in a month period of 2021
there are no any rules, sequence or scheme

the gong still rings

 

It's pretty clear they have a pretty well planned out release schedule, like any professional company would have. Maybe it isn't set in stone as firmly. You can even see it in practice just in the comments in their network block dll release.

 

i dont see a release plan here, more of a todo list: its part of the upcoming R2RSYSTEM which they are slowly cooking adding more different ways to catch plug-ins home-calling, when a new phonecalling type is added, it just gives an opportunity to release plugins that use this type,reducing the time it takes to hack. they keep from releasing more because they are cracked partly and waiting home-calling part of crack for its type to be implemented in Network Block Runtime
