iZotope/Soundwide discontinuing many plugins

[metaside]

Sadly they’ve just added trash to the newer versions of Neutron, way dumbed down version of it, with far less customization. However if you have the whole package you can get more detailed than one can by just having Trash2.

I somehow never really liked Neutron. I had the first two versions, but the thing I liked most about it, the Transient Shaper, was best in version 1 imho, since you need two more clicks to get three basic bands since v2. Since then I never upgraded it again. For EQ, multiband compression and distortion, I like the Fabfilter stuff much better these days. But I still use the v1 Transient Shaper of Neutron often…

Somewhat off-topic, but I am just waiting for the people over at OHM to invite me for the new beta round of Ohmicide! I love it, and would love to have my home studio computer updated to a modern OSX, but there’s certain plugins that just will never get updated, thus I stay on OSX 9 on a Mac Pro 2019!

Ohmicide is cool, looking forward to see what they do for the v2!

But yeah can’t imagine what producers like Arca, and few others who heavily rely on Iris2 will be doing! I enjoy Iris, but also just never used it enough to care that they will no longer support it.

I’m not using it much, too, but there simply is no other option for when I really want to do something with the time-dependent spectral filter…

I’m not seeing impending doom here personally. I think they said we can still expect maintenance updates for another year, just no new sales anymore. After that… on the windows side at least, I’d expect these plugins are going to continue to work at least until the next major windows version (ie Windows 12) and probably beyond that. They’re already all VST3, so even Steinberg’s VST2 purge isn’t going to end compatibility for these.

Yeah, you are probably right. I’m still using Alchemy, even on the new system I got recently it still works fine and Camel was gobbled up by Apple 7 years ago…

STELLANTIS

Wow, that is particularly bad. Nonsensical and not even “catchy”.

Will Peugeot re-brand to that crap? That would be quite something in France, since Peugeot is one of the oldest car brands there (with Renault and Citroën).

[White_Noise]

No, the individual brands are still around, they’re just all owned by Stellantis. Fiat owns Ferrari somewhere under that umbrella, no way you give up brand recognition like that.

If you can’t find anything about your email or serial, maybe check in your windows registry for the ID or challenge/response codes of your StutterEdit copy and ask iZotope support which email is associated with it. I have had very good experiences with iZotope support in the past.
