Their cheap plugins can't even be gifted away now that they charge a transfer fee.

PA has "always" charged a transfer fee at least for the last 10 years if not more.

Whenever I try to use it in Cubase, I get extreme pops and clicks etc. I have looked at all the material that has been published in regards to troubleshooting the issue. But nothing helps. What a waste of money! :x
Have you contacted them? They are usually really helpful?
https://www.meldaproduction.com/about/contact
A few years back, I got some horrendous static and distortion when using the vocoder. I never contacted him about it. It could fry headphones and I am not trying to be dramatic.

I mean, I just stopped using it, period.

Around this time, he was talking about AMD video drivers, like Radeon, and complaining about them. And I had a Radeon card, but do not know if that was the issue.
Give the developer a chance to fix a bug when you find one. This makes plugins more reliable for the whole community.

Sorry but I have to ask: what incomprehensible situation? I did a quick search but didn't find anything of note.

I certainly don't mean to derail this thread but if there's a thread here that does go into detail what you're alluding to that you don't mind linking to, I'd appreciate that. If not, no worries. :)

So, you didn't get the products you chose or what are you talking about?

Redundant mediocre plugins, soon after upgrades for high prices, more filler than killer, just not worth the bandwith to download. Too many better alternatives. Sunk money. Deleted. Never missed.
