The Avalon VT-737 plug-in is their latest offering, a famous and recognizable piece that’s especially known for its use on vocals. The recent popularity of UAD means that many are buying Apollo Twins, or Arrows, and might be considering some of the more expensive plugin opportunities through UAD.
I know exactly what you’re referring to, and honestly I found enough good substitutes that I don’t need anything from them.For those not wanting to spend thousands on tube preamps, Universal Audio (or UAD) has two excellent tube channel strip emulations that sound fantastic. You’re right - Waves is a mess and I am off of them as well. I learned my lesson, now I create an image of my recording drives…and I don’t walk into convoluted validation schemes. Their solution was for me to do a full reinstall of the PC or upgrade (pay another $400) to their latest. I got locked out of a legit version of Cubase and it took them several days to resolve my issue just enough so I can export my files out of it to Sonar. For the most part I’ve seen validation schemes usually affect the legit users more than anyone else. Avid could give a flying fuck.Īs long as you have the hardware and know-how to look at what happens at registry level, you can easily copy these changes to the new PC and lock is so it won’t update and you will probably have the same setup as PC #1. THAT my friend is a bullshit attempt to curb the used market. Its called a digilink license, and the driver is $1899!!! That driver must be registered to your Avid account and it is not transferrable. If you buy one used, you have to buy a license in order to activate the driver. Right? Avid used to sell these fucking things for $8000, now they cost $3000 yet they’re no more powerful than your cellphone. So the idea is that you wanna make it a bitch to try and buy a used Avid HDX card.
I have no doubt that it was the correct move, though it did come across as a ‘fooled ya sucker!’ you say.īut hey, you wanna talk about them being assholes? Here’s one for ya. I’ve poured over years of avid’s finance statements, and you can even see the change of direction in their cashflow when they opened up to 3rd party. There were some major changes in the company around that time, where in the red and realized they would be eating dirt if they didn’t stop depending on their hardware to sustain them. Version 9 they opened up the field to 3rd party interfaces
