Izotope joining Boris FX

[fisherKing]

ozone (now 12 advanced) is a remarkable toolkit (with too many options, and easy to abuse). but, used with patience (and some restraint), am doing my best mastering ever (and now, for clients as well). for me, anyway, it's definitive.

A few years ago, I bought a couple of the Boris VFX suites at Black Friday. Quite expensive like a lot of video effects. Stingy with licensing, one seat. Yearly upgrade plan is really expensive so I'm still using the same effects from seven or more years ago. No problems there. And I like the effects, expands the usage of Adobe Premiere quite far. That's all I got.

I gave up on izotope a while ago fortunately.

Agree, and RX is the main substance that might justify them long term, like Kontakt is to NI

Aside from that, to much spread, beels and whistles, lack of substance, and to many changes

Pricing crazy lately, upgrades at directly respectless level, even for moving one single step up

Also f.eks. standard-RX dont even have a basic tool like "wind-remover", you pay extra for all

Kontakt my last NI plug to maybe be updated, but the format smells bad, lesson learned

I have been look elswhere the last years, like East West, plus prefer iLok/Installer over CR

RX was my last Izotope plug being updated, but now I decided RX11 will be the last


I am with BorisFX with Vegas Pro, and Sound Forge, their pricing is generally very high

Same Vegas team, that has been struggeling since Sony molested it, so not much hope

Sound Forge is kinda abandonware, just to have some kind of audioeditor for the suites

Ask myself if BorisFX is taking their mouth to full, Vegas users still suffer and flee to Resolve

To bring up Vegas at apropriate solid level, and continue Izotope, takes extreme resources

It also makes me wonder what will become of the Izotope software linked in the Native Access app. If it will continue to be available indefinitely from here on still or will it eventually be pulled too..

I changed my mind and decided to purchase some iZotope stuff

As an FYI, yesterday, I used the Product Portal, NOT NA, to install Rx12 advanced, Ozone12 advanced, and a handful of others. The talk about the Product Portal being obsolete and not functioning by some of the NI fanboys is purely fictitious

[elxsound]

Did someone actually say that, or just having fun typing?

I know when I upgraded my Izotope stuff last year, most if not all of it was using Izotope’s authorization.

Even though it won’t affect me, I’m still curious what will happen with Ozone licenses authored in Native Access.
