Pulsar - Smasher 1176 emu free until 11th March

iLok and 64bit only? Thanks but no thanks.

Do you ever walk into a restaurant you're not eating at, scream about what you are allergic to and then walk out?

Although it’s not even comparable to allergies. It’s probably more like “I’VE NEVER TRIED THAT, I DON’T LIKE IT!!!”

No, no! It is comparable to: You walk into a restaurant, and you realize that you
can eat there only if you sign a contract before. In this case the contract doesn't
cost anything (free), but you have to sign it!

When you go into a restaurant to eat there, you do actually sign a contract, legally speaking. The contract is: you’ll get food, then you have to pay for it. It’s not a written contract, but it is one, same with other products and services you acquire. It’s how our world works. It’s just silly to go on a forum and whine about it in every thread about that particular restaurant because the food isn’t vegetarian/vegan/fructarian/whatever.
Really, why do those anti-ilokers feel the compulsive need to enter any thread of an ilok product they don’t even intend to get and ooze the same old “ilok, thanks but no thanks” blurb? Do they need the attention? Are they on a mission?
I didn’t like ilok either before I got it, then I realized it’s not the end of the world. Could be better, could be worse, use it, don’t use it, but please, stop behaving as if it is some kind of scandalous conspiracy that you have to take a stand against.

I appreciate the freebie, but it's crashing in Cubase 9.5 pro for me (running Windows 10 pro). Anyone else getting a crash?

[Aloysius]

[Calenberger]

Works totally fine in Cubase.

[WasteLand]

it could be me (always) but this seems not a full 1176 emulation....... no attack/release/ no ratio (the ALL ratio...)

EDIT: it seems already, somewhat, mentioned. this is an ALL ratio, without attack/release emulation..?

EDIT 2: how many 1176 i have, and how many are out their (like planets with live...)

EDIT 3: always i good idea to read the product page, and read why the have done it this way....

Grab it while it's free, if it's half as good as their Mu Compressor then this is going to be a great freebie

only caveat that may put some users off is it uses iLok

The other caveat is the GUI wasting a lot of space. But it is a freebee!

I want the GR meter at least twice as large with the numbering in 0.1 db increments. And the knobs could be bigger more precise too.

Overwhelmed With Cubase Problems

There are many more examples.

Cubase isn't a DAW, it's a DAWN.

Love my Cubase.

"Typical effects you can get with the Smasher are the raw and gritty sounds of bands such as Vulfpeck, The Whitefield Brothers or The Black Keys."

That's the kind of copy that makes me find whatever of theirs I have in my plugins folder and delete.
