Dear friends,

We totally understand how frustrating it is to wait and we do apologise about that. But launching 14 new plug-ins (I mean 14 GOOD plug-ins) is not an easy task and the delay came from the fact that we rejected quite a few as they didn't meet our quality standards. The good news is that we partnered with new audio devs that did an incredible job on some requested plug-ins and that were giving us a hard time... We think you will LOVE them ;-)

A this point, ALL the plug-ins are ready. We have also spent a great amount of time "fine tuning" them and beta testing in every possible OS and DAW environments including Windows 8 and Mountain Lion which is crazy ! We should have all final installers ready by the end of this week and it looks like we will officially announce the availability of P&Ms version 3.0 early next week. The V.I.P. bundle will from now on contain 40 plug-ins and the upgrade will be FREE of charge for everyone (as promised).

And what if I mentioned (as a tease) that ALL plug-ins might be ??? ready ;-)

Believe us, we are just as impatient as you are to see these plug-ins released as we have invested quite a lot of time and money in the P&M project. We simply didn't want to rush in to delivering anything but high quality products.

Thank you all for your patience and your understanding.

Kind Regards - Eric
CEO at DontCrack


Good to hear an update on the status of... the update. smile.gif Equally good to hear about the time being spent on QC.

Hello Mick,

Eric is out of the office, he asked me to tell you that he understands the frustration you are feeling right now about the delay of the launch of the full Plug&Mix VIP Bundle.

You are right that we want this bundle to be as solid as possible on all the various platforms it will support and the test cycle has taken a bit longer than we had been anticipating. But it is in everyone's interest that this procedure is not rushed.

Thanks for your comments and continuing interest. We believe that the remaining plug-ins that complete the full bundle will be a pleasant surprise for everyone out there.

The very latest projection is for a launch before the end of this month.

Best Regards,

Nick

Nick,

Thanks for the reply. I hope most here agree that a timely explanation is all anyone wants when there is a delay like this. I'm looking forward to the rest of the bundle.

Kind regards,

Mick

Thanks Toon ! We're on it, just a question of days now ;-)


It has been almost two weeks, however...

Maybe in Year 2015??? LOL!!! tongue.gif
Announced since months and never released....
....keeping people waiting is just pure sheer pig-headedness.
Pretty lame for a so-called "serious" developer!
wacko.gif mad.gif


... that was a little intense.

Eric,

No one wants software delivered with bugs. I'm okay with waiting but it doesn't create a good impression when specific promises are made (see first quote) then seemingly broken. It would have been fine to say, "It's just a question of weeks", instead of "days". There are, after all, still a few weeks remaining before P&M would miss the deadline that was set when the DC VIP Bundle was released.

However, you did say it was, "... just a question of days now." Everyone will understand if there were some last minute technical problems. What people don't understand is when someone isn't up on their word, so hook us all up with an honest explanation. Under the circumstances, it's the least you can do. If P&M plan on competing successfully in VST development such a forthright explanation will help overcome this particular miscommunication and since this is your first foray, this is the very foundation on which your reputation will rest upon for some while. The time spent on changing the name and creating a new logo doesn't help the situation regardless of it being separate departments. Help us help you.

Thanks,

Mick

We're entering Q4 of 2012 soon; just wondering what the schedule is for the remaining plugs. Looking forward to them.

+1 for restauration plugins like a (useable) denoiser, a declicker and decrackler. I don't think it is possible, but it would be great If we could get a hint if they are coming within the introprice period...

Alex


+1

A collection similar to (but better, of course) the Waves restoration collection of plugs seems like an essential for a comprehensive plugin suite. Until hiss, pops, clicks, and other nasties have been eliminated from the world no DAW is safe. Can I vote more than once for this? smile.gif

Lobsterinn mentioned a spring reverb that I also think would be great and is in keeping with FX that can have simple interfaces. Maybe include a randomized "accidentally whacked the box" button just for fun.

Also, Medienhexer mentioned a, "comb filter with resonance, ring modulation and metalize parameters for robot voices, crazy drums and aetherial pad sounds", and, "Phase shifting effect that allows you to create pseudo-surround effects", that both sound like winners.

I think Medienhexer is on to something even bigger, however. With the inclusion of a restoration suite and maybe multi-band dyanamics your bundle would then cover more than enough bread and butter processing and standard FX (imo, of course). Perhaps what could further differentiate DC from other devs would be to begin concentrating on a few esoteric FX in the spirit of GRM tools.

I mean, how many straight-ahead flavors of distortion, filter, and time domain plugs do we need?

I'm just sayin'. smile.gif

I also think that time spent on name changes are.counterproductive. If need be just use the initials "DC" and let the words they stand for become enigmatic. That way all you need to do is change the graphics and not worry about registry issues; in the registry, references to "Dontcrack" can remain unchanged. Keep focused on the sound and making great plugs. My two cents.

Hi Peter,
kudos for being so fast in reacting to us DC-plug-in users' suggestions.
Always nice to know that one is not talking into the deep black void.

Anyways, here's my two cents:

The DC-Retro Equaliser could use a low cut filter IMHO, so that you don't have to use up the nice low band controls for it.
How about two push buttons to the left of the V.U., one with "40 Hz" cut when pushed, the other with "80 Hz" and pushing
both together would give you... "150 Hz"! (Did I do my math? No waaay!)

It would keep the simplicity of the GUI and the whole concept intact, but would free up a whole band of EQ.
I photoshopped that into the original, like so: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25038534/DC-RetroLowCut.jpg

One plug-in that could use additional pizzazz is the Beatles' EQ (DC brightness).
Yes, the 2.8 Hz - 3.5 Hz - 10 Hz peak boost/cut was what they used. BUT, to my knowledge, this was
an addition to what they had in the EMI mixing console, namely a 100 Hz shelf cut/boost
and a 10 kHz shelf/5 kHz peak boost.
...there is space for one smaller pot each left and right to the big knob - again, totally in keeping
the looks and easy layout of the original. I would buy the improved version!!!

Thanks for listening to my babble.
Best, mojoboxx
