Mercurial Tones Dagon (Free Soothe like VST)

I love it. I use it. No different than the USELESS Plugin Alliance updater I have on my system, which hasn't updated anything but itself in a year.

I don't get the complaining about the hub

Then you didn't read a word I wrote.

Monetising your system?
How? Are you out of pocket?

By placing their storefront on your system. Read what I wrote about Hookware. You don't have to be "out of pocket" to be annoyed by bloat for a "free" plugin that's designed to get their hooks into your system.

Anyway I'm not going argue the point any longer. You either get it or you don't. As I also wrote earlier:

If you don't care how bloated your system gets or don't care that even small developers want access to your system then by all means bloat away to your heart's content.

nevermind...

Other developers that have a "hub":

Antelope
Arturia
Cakewalk
IK Multimedia
InMusic
iZotope
Native Instruments
Plugin Alliance
TDR
UJAM
Universal Audio
Waves

I'm sure there's more but that's just what came to mind. I think it's just easier now days to install a "hub". I recently updated TDR plugins and I guess I could have downloaded all the "no-install" or "install" versions separately, but I just decided to download the "hub" and install from there.

On the other hand, if you want to save the install file on your system then it's in some cases better to download that if possible.
