Sonalksis was one of the good early developers. I remember that Dave Gamble from DMG did some coding for them. Their plugins were the first that I thought sounded pretty good. At this point, even through I own almost all of them, I don't use them anymore. There doesn't seem to be an support and the plugins have not been updated (other than 64 bit versions) since they came out. Lots of good replacement options now.

They were one of the first to go 64-bit "double-precision" audio processing quality - the Dave Gamble association might have had something to do with it.

But their plugins look the same as the day they came out.

If they're no longer maintaining their plugins even for compatibility, I think it's wrong (unethical) to have their website commerce "open for business". You can take people's money but atleast say that the products are legacy/DOA.

well, what set this in motion is... there was an update waiting. so someone's there...

but no response from them, at all. and even reverting to the previous version, i cannot get it to validate in logic.

so it goes. found an alternative, and am done with them

It is updated to v3.2.0 in 2022 with native Apple Silicon support, so they are not dead.
If hope you'll get reply from them soon :(

exactly; if they've updated the plugins, they're still in business.

i emailed numerous times, from 2 different addresses. and it's been almost a week. will post here IF i hear back (&/or the issue is resolved)...

EDIT: never heard back, so am deleting the plugin, and moving on...
