Interesting marketing : complete catalogue 20 day trial, you just need to install their plug in manager.
“Ready to try something new?
Our entire plug-in catalog is ready to demo. Visit our all-in-one installer, Softube Central, to see which plug-ins you haven't tested yet, then grab a demo on the spot. Click the GET DEMO button and a full, 20-day license will be added to your account. It's that easy.”

I have most of their stuff but maybe a quick demo of some that I don't have won't hurt.... $$$

How about resetting all the demos periodically?
That’s a problem with time locked demos of limited utility stuff and the limited sale cycle instead of having one stable price forever or much closer prices of sale to street price like Eventide or PSP where you only pay like 100 bucks not on sale and what’s 200 is stuff like the Infinistrip! Everyone owns all the Klanghelm stuff and Tony’s MJUC is one of the most popular plugins ever for a reason! MJUC gives you such bang for your buck for a cheap price! Softube’s channel strip and licensed stuff is like 100-150 bucks on sale and doesn’t work on everything. Even the Weiss DS-1 isn’t that flexible vs something like Presswerk. So you demo it, it doesn’t work on your current projects, and you can never demo the not very flexible plug again or even the plug you already have 5 of like SSL/API/Neve eqs to make sure it’s the best one for the job! Because sometimes even something ancient like the McDSP Channel G or the Oxford EQ type 1 with it’s more aggressive 4000 E filters wins due to minute differences evaluated in a split decision in the heat of the moment.

Some times you just need to move some merchandise, and this how you do it. |

That would move more but I don’t know if Pace would allow that. |

I would think that emailing the company saying, I demoed plug x before, didn't buy then, but would like to test drive again might result in a reset. |

Really felt like I needed another demo to decide on whether or not to get their FET comp. It was no problem. Softube gave me the demo, no questions asked. I ended up not buying the plugin, FWIW. |

Yeah I will email them when I have something that could benefit from one of their plugs. I did that with Sound Radix for Drum Leveler and ended up buying the whole bundle. |
