Vengeance new toy, multi-band compressor,
Few interesting features, multi-band NY comp, dynamic patter compression, load of waveforms and as it’s vengeance it comes with bunch of presets,
Demo not available yet, but I will definitely check it out, your thoughts?
Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie!!!
Wow nice! I love how versatile this is and the broad functionaility of it.
Clearly going to cost a fair wedge though.
It’s ‘only’ £135 which I think is not too bad
that looks really cool… but, whats this USB dongle that they say is required?

Oh no, I didn’t hear that part.
That’s something that instantly puts me off.

why? what’s wrong with holding all your licenses on one usb stick that if you loose it cost’s you hell and all to sort out again.
If i remember correctly it cost between £10 and £100 depending on the plug-in to have the license transferred to a new Dongle after it’s been lost, stolen, Broken and no insurance company covers software. it’s beyond me why people don’t like the idea of dongles.
It looks like a nice plug just a shame about the dongle.

You hit the nail on the head - would not even consider it now - pity as i does look very interesting - so any alternative recommendations ?
And wastes USB Ports.
Also - You have iloks & syncrosofts… Different software on 2 seperate Dongle systems.
So thats 2 USB ports outta action - if you are lucky enough to own both.
I’ve got a Syncrosoft Dongle & I’ve not bought stuff that requires an Ilok for that very reason. Not giving up another USB port.
Pure Wank.
I hate the dongle idea simply because I don’t have enough USB ports as it is, I don’t see why i should waste USB ports just to show my software that it’s registered. Most software is fine being registered without a dongle.
I also think the dongle thing has a reverse effect as it gives the pirates and crackers a challenge
Pirates have already cracked the dongle issue, you have a bit of software that runs in your start up that tricks the software into thinking you have a dongle plugged in.
Just something i read up about… :Wow:

So if thats the case its just a money making exercise - which kinda sucks
you could design your own guys using Audio effect racks…
the sky really is the limit here…
have a look at this vid… there is 29 bands here… nothing stopping you placing compression on any of these bands… and of course 'over drive, eq, stereo widening @ selective mid range frequencies… skys the limit !
this will save you 130 bucks & a usb port & while all native to Abletons environment.
Simple & most effective hey…

Thanks lenners and d/loaded it
cool slender cool.
29 bands is a lit o.t.t. though nothing stopping you building a 4,8,12 band device …
though having such control with 29 is most welcome.
You could have side-chains set up in this rack automatically ducking other frequencies
as they happen, like how a de-esser functions, ’ ducking selective bands’
I.e. instead of a kic ducking the compression it would be a freq band

hahaha i did this to only to find out that those plug-ins that say strictly require iLok also work with elicense on the Syncrosofts

although this may be true, when used like this each application needs a different app running in the back ground and has a dramatic effect on your machines Cpu.
and lets face it, the dongles only there as a deterrent, like putting a anti-theft device on your car if the guy taking it really wants it he’ll get it. On a second note who can really blame vengeance and Mutekki for protecting what little they can after all out of all the producers and amateur producers i know 99% of them have vengeance samples on their machines which in turn only about 30% of those are paid for.
Another way to look at this is that the dongle its self took (or at least cubase did) nearly 2 years to crack which in that time gave yamaha the grace of two years worth of sales. the last time i read anything about Cubase, The programmers were saying that for every 1 copy sold there was 5 copies illegally installed.
