Also just now stumbling across this. As it seems I shouldn't count on an email reply to the dev, does anyone know what would happen if I used the link to purchase it from outside of the EU, while in the UK?

The link for inside the EU still works to takes me to a payment page, but the one for outside of the EU says "Unfortunately, due to legal constraints, we cannot ship the product to the country you have chosen."

Is all that trivial anyway, since it's not 'shipping' anywhere, since it's a downloadable software license?

I've tried other alternatives, including those mentioned in this thread. But, so far, I'm not finding anything that works quite so well for Trance production. So, it would be really frustrating if I can't get hold of a copy.

I own almost all their plugins. Throughout the last years whenever i emailed the dev (Alexander) i did get a reply and help with all issues.

Their reverb and the cl1 compressor are must haves and i hope that updates and new releases are coming at some point.

TBH, sound aside, I wouldn't buy them. No updates for years, no VST3, not the slightest sign that they will make those plugins future proof at some point.

I don't get why they still sell them, if they don't support them anymore. A lot of odd companies in this business.

I remember their compressor and reverb being amazing, but I wonder how they'd stack up to plugins now, which have advanced incredibly since then.

I remember hearing that the Arts Acoustic plugins have volume spikes or other issues on newer OS's, which it seems they haven't been updated for. I still use them with Windows 7 without apparent issue, but be careful. Again, this is all hearsay from memory, it would be good if someone with direct experience can confirm.

denormal spikes, of death
and blue screens of death
windows and OSX, been so long.
the reverb seems ok, bit hesitant to go there now, but the other 2 are insta-crash.

I own a licence for this good old AA reverb. And almost never use it. Crashed too many times.

But for your information, this reverb is included in the synth Avenger by Vengeance Sound...

If they release a rack effect of their synth, you’re good to go... and users are requesting it all the time !

Might be the very last solution to get this reverb again somewhere...

Anybody any update? I mailed them but no response. Still a very good plugin

I use it on MacOS Sonoma, M3 Pro processor, in Logic Pro 11, everything works fine

Please don't buy from that shady company. I only have their BigRock phaser but could never use it because they never fixed that serious bug which seems to plague their other plugins as well. I also never got a reply.

When i heard Vengeance started dealing with this company/guy they managed to get on my black list too. They surely must have known ArtsAcoustic is ripping off their customers by selling faulty software. There were many posts about that for years. It's disgusting.

Let me add that my experience is not at all like that. Always got good support from AA when i had questions and their reverb worked 100% stable for me. Both pc and mac. The compressor had a crash here and there.
