Totally fair. Good points, Raven, and perhaps you’re right. I appreciate your respectful reply.

i gotta jump in. i got probably ALL the plugins EVER. hehehe okay not all ever, but for me too this is strange unless there is more to the story…

but so many hoops for a gree plugin. Also its easy to add a “little” heft and magic to anysound with some kind of parralel processing (ssl eq emulations come to mind).. “I want to run everything through it”… where have we heard that before. rather make a plugin that claims “unprecedented beef” .. “maximal depth”.

I dont think you were growling.. i think he was “perplexed” by the ginormous and wierd file size. There processing type plugins are code. code is small. so if its not interface or code taking the size… thats one gigantosaurus of an algorithm for free..

but i dont trust it either

Oh? Cool, bud. 👍 I downloaded a plugin just a day or 2 ago that required 1.8GB of HD space; it was featured in one of the posts here on BPB.

Seems software that requires more space is becoming more prevalent. You might consider catching up with the times and doing less growling at people on BPB. 😂

Not sure what you’re looking at but it’s no where near a gigabyte. The VST3 is like 48 mb. Even if you installed VST3/AAX/AU – it’s like 150 mb or something. Ya trippin

No they don’t. I can think of maybe 5 plugins out of a couple of thousand I have on my machine. The ones that are over a GB aren’t simple fx plugins either. It’s plugins like Serato Sample that come with complex algorithms for dissecting audio. It’s definitely odd if this is coming in at 1 GB as a distortion/exciter plugin.

Plenty of plugins these days require 1GB or more of HD space.

Installer and VST3 26mb!
