    You do have a point with the the fact that not all the plugins are "Required" but one thing I have been desperately wanting to use for ages is Soothe 2. I have yet to find a decent alternative that has been cracked for OSX. I work with quite a lot of stuff that could really benefit from having Soothe 2 used with it. I do have an older Mac with Bootcamp on it which I use to test out these cracked Windows plugins, but I just absolutely hate how clunky and awkward windows is compared to Mac, and I cannot see myself using it ever again for production. Tempted to try that "audio over LAN" trick that someone mentioned before

    doesn't work as well imo. feels like it muffles the sound rather than tame resonances etc. maybe need to give it more time

    To be accurate, they are out for OSX (pre 2016!) but not here for macOS.
    I couldn't tell if you wanted the old cracks working in old OSX in 2021, or new cracks in the up to date OS of macOS.

    So what ?
    M1 is powerful
    AND
    M1 will kill w4r3z on Mac

    Apple already almost killed it by dropping 32 bits (need to rewrite keygens,cracks ...from scratch), notarizing and such limits.

    Frankly, i created a top Intel Hackintosh with Catalina ... and ended up using Win 10 only.
    Even my PHOTO w4r3z softs are not working anymore.
    That's how things ended on my side.

    And i'm not the only one switching on Win 10 for DAW and more.
    Yes, OSX is a nice OS ... when it simply WORKS the way YOU want.

    I'm going to trash my OSX Catalina partition soon.
    And install another win 10 boot.

    Took me 3 months but it was really worth it indeed :) Best computer in the world. M1X will be even better, can you imagine...

    I recently moved to mac from a windows pc to use logic and also for the OS which is far better. This is what I do to run cracked windows plugin in my mac. I use parallels to run windows inside a mac. (Its is like a virtualbox/vm ware). I installed all the plugins from recent bigwave on to my parallels window inside mac. And I use Audio gridder to load plugins from this windows to my mac. You have to install the AudioGridder Server in windows and Audio Gridder Client in mac.
    Keep in mind you do need a powerful mac/hackintosh to handle this flawlessly. I allocated 2 cores for windows out of my 8 cores. And I havent been able to max out my projects while mac and windows are both running on one pc at same time. You can also just print the plugins and then quit windows if you need more cpu power for mac.

    Hope this helps for anyone who is looking for a temporary solution. I really hope R2R eventually releases all these goodies for mac as well.
    Cheers.

    iLok cracking on Mac won't happen, or it would have already years ago.

    Move on and give up your hopes :)

    Sad but true. I gave up my hopes long ago.

    It's fine, we still have the best computers versus PC lol

    Don't mind paying a few plugins here and there.

    anything outside ilok or e-licenser is worth paying for... like i literally have more puchased plugins (that i use) than cracked ones ahahaha

    Very well put, ilok is in the business of making money of piracy both ways

    I don't like iLok as much as you but sometimes there's no choice... actually they improved it, no more bugs in a while... still sucks though I wonder how people without Internet manage that lol
