    A gong says,

    Do you know why witches released these LexActivator things at this time of year?

    A witch is rubbing the gong.

    Do you hear the kong yelp in fear?

    A kong says,

    The first phase of the gong - THE END OF THE CRYPTLEX - is now over. The witch's terrible magic made the cryptT-REX extinct in the audio scene.

    Witches are thinking about the next animal they want to exterminate.

    A witch came from October 9th says,

    "We protected our future from the invasion of apes!"

    It's September and I think it's only proper to start the first Gong™ drama/speculation thread in @omiac era and see how far it can take us all.

    Wth is LexActivator anyway ? and what good will it do to us ?

    Now, who is this "kong" guy ? He's DEAD now! so it doesn't matter.

    So, what is the next animal that will be exterminated by R2R ?

    * LexActivator emulator is injected to the plugin, which returns valid license information to the software and handles callback system. It also avoids writing broken data to the registry (LexActivator's bug).

    For more info, check this release :

    Audified.MixChecker.Ultra.v1.0.0.READ.NFO-R2R

    Which other companies use this service?

    added to the main post. this is important question

    I tried to find their client list since yesterday but only found few that's listed on their site and none of them is audio plugin dev. It seems like they are the direct choice for those that dropped iLok. Korneff, Audified used to pretend to be protected by that thing.

    At first I was all in for the great Australian band Gong thread which started my day with a live song recorded at Bananamoon Observatory Studio in Talous, France in 1977, No More Sages Try...but then the LexActivator came up and was surprised that someone was erecting Lex Luther in a new Superman movie...then realized that I'm probably having a flashback from that 5 grams of mushrooms I ate in 2003 and thought...maybe the newer version of Lexicon PCM Total Bundle was coming our way!

    Yea, maybe I'm still tripping. :dunno:

    You bastard, I thought this was about the One True Gong™



    But maybe there's something interesting coming out, maybe not... we'll see. It's not like I've gotten through the few releases this year yet.

    Guys, better not to create big expectations. This way we will enjoy the Gong better. And maybe if we are lucky, R2R will deliver the much loved big audio companies that we dreamed of :wink:

    100% sure that they named it LexActivator because it rhymes with Lex Luthor. They know who is Superman.. and Lois Lane.

    Synchroarts still loyal to the iLok apparently

    I have these questions in my mind. It's not New Year's Eve yet. Why is the gong coming at this time or will we wait until Christmas?

    the witches usually rub the Gong at this time around every year to give us some hints, sometimes puzzles, sometimes riddle. As for now, witches already liberating Lex's stuff (Audified, Landr, Korneff) so far, maybe that's just the intro. Better things have had happened in October and from past years we can see it can sometimes will be around Black Friday (I truly don't remember the details) so the community won't fall into the capitalist idea of spending money on things we don't need. So it's usually "Xmas comes early" for us all over the comment section signalling it's nice to have before Xmas. But maybe you're right, it probably at the end of the year, nobody knows really. We mortals don't have any controls over that, we can just dream, like the quote on the main post, the one that play the Gong plays the universe.

    I think waiting is a torture for most of us... unless for BDSM enthusiast. :unsure:

    wont mind for AA updates but then we will have a lot of more useless threads than this one. :rofl:

    There's not many of the majors left. UAD, Softube has been partially done already.
    Other than your own computer, studio and any hardware purchased outright, anything digital or subscription oriented, the ownership factor is very grey. It always stood to reason that if you truly owned something, the vendor wouldn't need to continue invading your computer space to check you own it when they already have your money. So it has become almost a cat & mouse viewpoint to see what R2R will remove next. I wouldn't go as far to say it's exciting, but it is certainly impressive when they successfully crack the supposedly uncrackable.

    this sounds like something i would crack/create to handle shit like protools or universal audio plugins (both on ilok and their own software that handles activations and shit

    I predict R2R will finally open the floodgates and release all their secret internal releases comprising basically everything ever made.


    Either that, or that doesn't happen. One of the two.
