Two huge thumbs down on subscriptions.
Regarding this BF offering [EDIT: just now realize the offering was for COMP76 not this], I will not even consider buying another Sknote plugin until long promised updates of old ones are delivered.
Quinto, you announced an update to Soundbrigade in March (of 2021!) on Gearspace. Then you teased pictures of it a year later. That was 8 months ago! I even reached out to offer to beta test and we traded emails for awhile. Nothing came of that.
Please take this as it is intended, as constructive feedback -- There is no consistent place to find status information about your plugins. Sometimes you post to Gearspace. Sometimes you post to KVR. Sometimes you post to Facebook. The news and blog sections of your website are inconsistent and impossible to differentiate. If I log into my user area, there is the same old version staring me in the face. Doesn't appear that you do emails about updates. I think you are a talented developer and give you the benefit of the doubt, even still, but you ask your long suffering customers to buy new plugins and now you float some idea of subscription model? What reason have you given anyone to want to do that? Even if they were not generally opposed to a subscription model, which I suspect most are.

Yes, same here.

Yes, that's really a weird one, even for Quinto...

In deed, well for those who care, I managed to activate Disto3 Beta on my online machine (windows) and move it to my offline workstation and load it without any login prompt or other apparent issues so far. Anyone who are into portability should be able to figure out how to do it without difficulty.
I could not find any "info" button on Disto3...so the "a connection" is still a mystery to me, but this plugin F76 have the info button, I guess that we have to buy or download the demo to find out

I'm mostly impressed by the sound quality of sknote, well priced too.
But disappointed to read about how the new online activation system works. I liked the old offline watermark system very much.
And subscriptions is the last thing I will do.
I think sknote could be pretty much among the best plugin developers with a good user experience for everything around added, which they do not quite have currently, unfortunately.
I still like them and wish them all the best. But currently I don't feel like buying plugins from them. I'm not saying this to be negative.I just want to give them the opportunity to get some insights into the mind of a customer, hoping that the user experience around the sound will be better in the future.

But why? The old method is still available
No, I'm not into subscriptions either. Rent to own is something I like, though.

I don't see any updates on your website except for the blog post. How do updates work for owners of version 1?quintosardo wrote: ↑Tue Dec 06, 2022 9:11 amSoundBrigade outkidslow wrote: ↑Fri Nov 25, 2022 6:57 pm Two huge thumbs down on subscriptions.
