Unfortunately W.A. Production "license protection" scheme is a total disaster

how so?

Well, problems arise when you're above few (3?) activations. They don't have possibility to deactivate licenses. You'll need to obtain new license.

I once lost a couple of codes. And for some reason they weren't on the site alongside the plugins. The support gave me the new codes and added the plugins to my account properly. I don't think deactivating a license should be a problem.

Serious? Wow. That does suck. I just picked up
chop beast to play with. it was cheap so not a lot to sweat but i do rotate comps a fair bit and that’s a drag to hear. for big purchases i look deeper into licensing but didnt with this. that’s really unfortunate.

I don't know why you're all taking this at face value. If you go to the FAQ on their site, it says this:

"You can use a single license on up to 3 devices.
If you have maxed out your uses for a different reason (reformatted computer, replaced a computer, etc.), please submit a request here and we will assist."

Definately, people don't read what is obvoius for an start, (like not reading the manual btw).

That being said its a tiresome and bit amaturish procedure, also it feels wrong to stand there
with the hat in your hand, knocking on the door, asking to "get back" whats yours

Waste of time for both sides as well ,.. and you risc to wait for response in a busy situation

I agree it is a bit of a pita. I had to write a dev recently because I ran out of authorizations.

Lie? That’s pretty harsh. Probably more of a misunderstanding.

Knock Clipper is free for a limited time. I like this clipper a lot. It's simple and lightweight even with oversampling.

W.A. Production's plugins aren't worth any bother anyway, imo

[HM]

W.A. ,.. and United Plugins ,.. are connected to Melda somehow I vaguely seems to remember

In both cases they seem to be most about "easy-solutions", for people not willing to learn the skills for real, or solutions to problems or demands thats doesnt exist, or is not substance for this "tool" anyway,..

Exeptions off-couse, just the general picture I get when scrolling down their product, and when I often see them free, or 90 pct reduced

Melda got plenty plugs, more than enough, but the standards are a bit higher after all, I cant help to think that W.A. and U.P. ,.. simply are the dead-ended projects that didnt make it to the Melda-brand itself

But teach me

[pekbro]

Some of them work for melda, or I guess Image line these days. They are all built from the framework. Not really a fan myself… melda either for that matter, tho I do own most of the melda stuff.

I've been pretty happy with InstaComposer for its (sale) price. But that's because I am into generative music and I am not a "real" musician
