I bought AirEQ 2009 and have not seen since this time a new version. I think after this long time it's a good idea to have at least a 64Bit version but also some other (GUI) improvements.

Fabrice posted this on FB, he is at NAMM this time presenting also the new AirEQ.
There is no info about 64Bit or stuff but I expect that this version will be 64Bit and the image shows some different things for the GUI.

So there's more info now out there, It looks interesting but seems to pretty expensive ...

Endor-8o8 · Post by **Endor-8o8** » Fri Jan 25, 2013 4:13 pm

Yes I think it more expensive than the first version. I don't get the idea of premium. Hope it will be explained soon...

Yeah! "AirEQ" and "Premium"? And I wonder what the upgrade paths are like for previous customers? I hope I get the new features, having waited for any update for so long...

Really? All I hear is how good it is at making things loud without destroying the punch, and how good the compressor section is. In fact, I've never heard anyone slam it other than to say something like "Fabfilter or Elephant worked better for some tasks/material."

From the tone of your hole post it sounds like you just don't like Fabrice, which might be clouding your opinion on his work. I can tell you that I think VTM is the best tape machine plugin I've heard, and VCC is great too.

FWIW I like FG-X too, but you really have to learn to use it, for example the ITP slider should be near 'smooth' setting most of the time for electronic dance music, otherwise you can get pretty nasty distortion. It's not as straight forward maybe as PRO-L that can work with almost any setting, but you can get really great results if you put some time in tweaking the knobs.

Air EQ was really great when it came out, I don't think there's any warping in the curves and the cpu footprint is small. Granted, now there are more options that are as good (if not better sometimes). That said I still use Air EQ really often, it's really fast to work with and sounds pleasing.

I'm not mad because I purchased a 32-bit plugin and now it doesn't magically become 64-bit because I want it to.

I didn't just download and read somewhere that "if you copy the x86 installer on a flash drive and put it under a growing light, it will mature to x64", but I paid for the promise that I will receive an x64 version.

I am mad because I PAID FOR a 32-bit plugin under the official promise that "there will be a 64-bit plugin" - yet there isn't one after all this time (not for OSX there isn't).

My own bloody fault, I guess.
"Never believe what is written on the Internet", they said.
That'll teach me.

There is no demo for SSD4.
It's a library, so not a big problem not having a demo.
I bought it anyway, everybody said it was so good.
It wasn't.

Could I sell it?
No, FFS, because Slate didn't allow SSD4 licenses to be transfered.

So instead I had to get AudioMIDI (from where I bought the license) to claim the money back from Slate and reimburse me.
You have NO IDEA what a mess that was. It took WEEKS to make this "you'll get your money back instead" come true. Apparently, I wasn't the only one who the Slate team let wait.

The last thing I wanted to know, whether or not I could sell my Trigger license, took them first about two weeks to answer, I replied the same day and it took them 8 more days to answer again.

Asking a total of $55 transfer fees for a product that costs $69 new is RIDICULOUS.
Especially if their work morale condones 8-day waiting periods for paying customers.
Not even the so-much-hated Waves do that.

I'm not sending any money in Slate's direction ever again, not even if they call it Eiosis instead.

I purchased the Eiosis E2 Transienter when it first came out and have been more than happy with it. I also have SSD4+CLA/VCC/VTM and Trigger. What I find a little irksome about the situation (much like Apple at the moment) is that older products that should have been kept up to date seem to have been pushed to the back of the queue in favor of newer products that obviously bring in more money. There's no 64bit Trigger but loads of new Slate products... No updated Transienter or DeEsser and no word on the upgrade path for older users of AirEQ (although it's early days yet) It would have been fair to Eiosis users to at least let them know whats happening with the legacy products they invested in. And the two tier pricing on AirEQ seems a little odd. But hey! Time will tell...

Agreed. I'll wait and see (still love AirEQ, but can't use it), and I assume they'll have a fair upgrade path for current users. But those new prices put the fear in me.

So, according to what you say... and based on existing marketing stuff, one could come with with the following slogan :

"FG-X... Beyond Destruction !"

(Sorry, I couldn't help myself...

)

What's up with Eiosis?
