Native only for this means hard pass for me. Plenty of other nice reverbs. No reason to buy if it isn’t saving my processor

I'd love to try the Sound City plug again, but for the second time since I've had spark, I'm getting "Plug-in not Licensed" when I open. Now - I used it yesterday, so maybe you can only use it Tuesday through Sunday. (eyeroll emoji here). I've never had trouble with UAD...until the native plugs. I dread talking to UA support because they had zero idea last time, and it just started working after an uninstall of something this or that. But I'll sell this shit before I have to uninstall/reinstall trash blah blah. Just effing work. You using a physical Ilok or the cloud? They've had issues with the cloud. I don't have any issues with the physical Ilok though. |

I moved them across and haven't had (Touch wood) an issue since.. cheers Wiz |

Here is a tune I am working on... nearly done its my first use of Sound City.... I used it as the "room" for the tracks.... put it on a bus in reverb mode...and adjusted it to taste.. There is a Bricasti as a plate verb, there is also a spring reverb (BX20) on some of the guitars.... The song is long....but that's on purpose atm.... cheers Wiz Forty Years Sound City TestOn a quick listen, this does have a nice “tracked in a good room” vibe to it. It doesn’t immediately strike me as a reverb. Nice tune and singing. thanks ... cheers Wiz |

Just got an email that they're offering a Volt when you buy a year sub to spark.

Cool track wiz! Would be interesting to hear the same mix but with SC bypassed. |

I don't have any issues with the physical Ilok though. I do see they're on both the ilok and the cloud (which I never put there). How do you get them to just go on the ilok in ilok Manager? EDIT: File - Close your cloud session in ilok manager |

The tune sounds great wiz . thanks It's working out SCS ..... It's certainly (well wasn't plug and play for me) not click and go... which is fine.... Is it a must have...no... But what it does... it does very well....at the price of 2 for 99 it's a steal.... cheers Wiz |

John, do you the licenses stored on the cloud? It did not work for me until I switched the license storage option to the physical Ilok.

OK...new stuff is working when recording into luna. I think I remember one update where they said it wasn't back compatible or something?

EDIT: File - Close your cloud session in ilok manager Did that take care of it? I'm not sure you can send both regs, each to their own USB stick and it wouldn't make sense to send them to the same USB stick. |

Hard to know how much is SC though. Your acoustic sound is great. Feel like I've said that to you before, we must just like the same acoustic style. |

Most the newer UAD plugins are Native? The Capitol mastering Compressor won’t work in AAX. There were people using a VST wrapper to get it to work. Does anyone know if Sound City is working in AAX format and is this plugin only Native as well? I was going to get a satellite for my Protools rig, but not sure if UA is phasing them out and all the plugins are going native, why waste the money on a Satellite? Anyone have any answers? I love it when you pay for something that doesn’t work, and you have to wait for the manufacturer to put out a fix! That happened with my Protools rig on the M1. Took Avid about 4-5 months to put out a bug fix for it to work!

I was going to get a satellite for my Protools rig, but not sure if UA is phasing them out of all the plugins are going native, why waste the money on a Satellite? Anyone have any answers? Couldn't you still utilize the Satellite to power the DSP plugins during tracking for lower latency? Like you could run some CPU heavy 'verbs and still keep very low buffer levels or whatever your DAW of choice calls them. I've always assumed that to be the case though I've never done it. |
