in ilk it says you are funning a luna from 2020 ?
Have you tried deleting luna from your application list and redownloading it ? Are your licenses in the cloud or do you use a dongle and then store your license on your Mac ?
I just did all of this the other day without any problems.
Get your Mac on the most current OS you can, update ua connect and store ilk license on your Mac, you should be good.

BSA Silencer is BF in spy on sale, $29.
Now I’ve got that and Clipper (the two I wanted from them). I think they’re both (especially Silencer) rad.

Damn, the UAD 175/176 are really cool. Got them in the Signature bundle and just trying them out on a few sources for the first time.

I just stick it on drum bus and snare (will undoubtedly find other stuff to use it on) and level the peaks. I haven’t used a clipper like this before but I’m digging it. |

I think it’s foolish that they’re doing the deal-a-day thing though. I’d consider a couple other things of theirs but not when I know it was just like half off 48 hours ago.
But, they’ll be on sale again very soon I’m sure. I just think they lose sales by trying to get people to play some game where they have to follow along and pounce on fleeting deals. I’m not doing that.

Ragan, the 176 is killer. It has a sound, but when you want that sound, it's great.

I wonder how much money they loose from people like you and me that just wait till the next sale to grab what we need? |

Yeah I get they they were probably forced by the market to change their price structure…but at some level it does seem self defeating…I mean for someone like me, that already owned a handful of UA plugins (that were ported over to spark), why would I pay $99/year for a sub when I just got more plugins and VI’s then I need for $199 from the producer pack? Ya know? And like Ragan alluded to, if you miss a sale you know you can just wait a bit a grab it on sale again in a few weeks. Who knows though, maybe I’m wrong. Maybe they make up for it in volume sales and they’re laughing all the way to bank? |

I wouldn’t be considering UAD plugs at the old crazy prices. |

I think one thing the new approach has done is increase their installed user base -- likely in a fairly dramatic fashion, especially after giving away the free LA-2A a few weeks ago. What does an increased installed user base do? It gives them a bigger number to pitch themselves for a private equity acquisition. I have NO idea if that's what they're doing. I only know that IF they're trying for an acquisition, this is an excellent way to bump up their numbers: "Look how many active, installed users we have! Look at how much growth we've experienced in userbase over the past two quarters!" |

I wouldn’t be considering UAD plugs at the old crazy prices. Yeah you’re right, me too. I swore off their dsp a few years ago and only crept back in when they re-released them as spark plugs. I guess my point is I was happily buying them at $99-150 for something like the 1176 bundle, but now I’m paying less than $49 each for these massive bundles. I’m not complaining…I’m just genuinely interested in how their business practices are playing out for them. As a small business owner this stuff intrigues me. |

Also, once you have UA connect installed you’re 10x more likely to demo another one of their plugins. |

“increase their installed user base -- likely in a fairly dramatic fashion, especially after giving away the free LA-2A a few weeks ago. “
I saw this differently, as soon as the upgrade/crossgrades started, ua just used the “free” plug as a loss leader. How many people , bought one of these upgrade packages, cus they were preapproved and due to the unprecedented low prices?

Raises hand... bought the Essential Bundle for $49 a month ago, bought Ultimate 12 this week... didn't own a UAD product before that. |

Anybody heard of Hornet? A Buddy picked up a bunch very cheap. Cheers, Geoff I suspect you're talking about European Hornet plug-ins rather than the US hardware preamps. I've got a few of them, and they all work well, despite some uninspiring interfaces, and are VERY affordable. I particularly like this one: www.hornetplugins.com/plugins/hornet-analogstage-mk2/ www.hornetplugins.com/Martin |

I bought one but it shows in Logics plug-in manager but I cant install it in a track. Doesn’t show up there. I’m stumped. But yes, extremely inexpensive even when not on sale. If they’re good, seems like a bit of a no brainer. Cheers, Geoff |
