Phobos

EDIT: Jack from Spitfire Audio works with me in the Support portal to get this sorted. I have a custom build (again) but this time it looks quite stable. So adding two stars back. (It really does sound awesome.) It'll go to 5 again when the issue gets sorted completely. But so far the support has been stellar. (Actually I'm the slow bit in the process. Sry for that.)

I love Spitfire audio. I do. But this product was not fortunate. I've got around 400 plugins installed. Phobos is without a doubt the most unstable piece of software I've ever bought. Most of the time it crashes the whole DAW right away upon load. Not usable at all. It crashes Ableton, it crashes Reaper it crashes Cubase. All tested today with the latest version.

(Installation absolutely standard, with normal default VST3 path, managed by Spitfire's manager.).

Two years back I contacted the support, explained my problem, even tested a few builds they did for me. No luck. I gave up on that plugin and went on with my life with hopes they would fix it meanwhile. Because I saw that they made another collab with BT lately (whom I love), I gave my expansive paperweight of a plugin another try. Re-installed it. Noticed that the version number did not change over those two years (so likely zero development) and yes ... the plugin still crashes.

I'm sad, because I like the idea of convolution synth/library, but nope, it's still unusable. Contacted the support again. I'll try to require refund/product swap again. But no. As of right now I can't recommend this plugin. I'm sorry Spitfire, I love you, but this one is crap, unfortunatelly.

I'll be happy to edit this review when they solve my issue. From the few times the plugin actually run, I really liked what it came out of it. ...before it crashed again.
