Avid Complete Plug-In Bundle v18.10.0-R2R

pro tools is the industry standard DAW and people have a reason to be excited because last time it got cracked was 6 years ago

TRUE WORDS

Yeah, it's a shame that these plugins need Pro Tools to work, but these are nothing special. Anyway, fantastic news for anyone who needs them so thanks R2R for your brilliant work

According to who?
Granted, it's not as easy to use as some others. (Especially for beginners)
But, you should probably check into the choice for most pro studios and i assure you won't see alot of FL Studio/Reason users

i give a shit about protools bro, i just want to watch it again around us (if you what i mean... to about the comment be seen as request)

Actually Pro Tools is the BEST DAW for what a DAW is meant to do. I've used them all and gone back to PT HD (ultimate). Nothing works as well for recording/editing/mixing. You can cry all you like about your pretty toy DAWs being better because they have 10000 features (gimmicks) but the fact is they ALL suck in certain areas - cubase = bloated, logic = terrible to mix/edit with , studio one = garish/convoluted (multipane to see inserts instead of PT's one big overview screen which is hand's down the best and clearest way to mix), I can't even bring myself to mention the rest or take them seriously... you know what they are, all toys or nerd projects. Also, get back to me when you find any other DAW that you can hook up a (once) 25k world class controller too like the 24 fader ICON D-Command, which you can now pick up for less than £2k, vs all those other 'big mouse' useless 8 fader bank controllers for everything else.

Most people who put PT down have either never used it or have an axe to grind with Avid. It's as fast if not faster than all those clever drag/drop short cuts in S1 for example, but by using even faster key modifiers, and bypassing, do to all, do to selected, the way the timeline cursors work, the solidity of takes (you'll never get any dropouts/crackles in a PT take as it'll stop and warn you - vs the hundreds of ruined takes in the past in Nuendo, Cubase, S1 and others many suffered).

PT may have been slower to adopt SOME things like folders and freezing but when they did it, they did it in the best way possible, fastest and most reliable. S1 has had some awful bugs that would literally lose recordings or crash everytime you bounced... if you're a midi guy who makes shitty EDM, sure.. go elswhere, but for real musicians using/recording voice and instruments and actually MIXING.. Pro Tools is STILL the best. Any other opinion just reflects sadly on the commenter not on Pro Tools (I think the Tchad Blake's, Schepps and all the other pro mixers and producers of this world know more about this than you!)

That said, specifically about THESE plug-ins, well we had most of these since Audio Utopia's release and not many of them are any good so no, we don't use them really but it's nice to have the full pack update. Of course there's much better plugs out there now from softube, PA etc that I use in PT all the time. These plug-ins are somewhat outdated but Pro Tools HD/Ultimate is certainly NOT. It runs rings around the latest fashions like S1 and LUNA on many many tasks, even bouncing/freezing/commit are multiple times FASTER and less crashy, even on 5 year old 12.5 HD! HEAT is also unbeaten still in how/what it does vs the sub-part console shaper/mix FX in S1 and the crappy harrison mix bus (nightmare as a DAW) or even Luna's built in stuff (ok this isn't bad but it's tied to UAD's shizzle... yuck)

that release is from 6 years ago though

I'm looking forward to it too

Unfortunately there is no aax to vst wrapper in the market.
