Is RTAS still valued and purchased?

Hey GS'ers,



Well, I still use RTAS and TDM plugins big time in my mixes and productions.

I still buy RTAS plugins big time and now that Waves is giving all their RTAS/Native users TDM/Soundgrid plugin upgrades for free, I'm an extremely happy camper.

Tomorrow is a good day.



I see some manufactures either stop making RTAS plugins ala Softube, McDSP even AVID.

It's a shame because theres still a market for it. Why just stop supporting it?:facepalm:



Plugin Companies Like Plugin Alliance is incredible, cause when you buy their plugins and they give you all of the formats for the same price regardless of TDM or Native or whatever. Kudo's to PA for that!!! #1 in my book and I highly support their plugins by buying them as well. (BX_V2, BX_Saturator, MaagEQ4, BX_Meter, BX_ControlV2, SPL_TransientDesigner, SPL_TwinTube, VertigoVSC-2 etc...)freshflowe



I know there is still a huge market for RTAS plugin users as well as TDM users (I think)abduction

I'm not looking at going past PT10HD as there is

1. No reason too as it sounds the same

2. My system is rock solid right now even though I'm at 8.1.1 as I write this.

Plus some plugins are not being ported over that I use in every mix ala TDM TC VSS3, DVR2, Auto Tune, and a few others.

I really don't have a good reason to go to PTHD10 other than I'll be able to use a few other plugins that I like (Softube Saturation Knob and CraneSong Phoenix II).



Some plugin companies don't even bother to make RTAS plugins like Acustica and TB Reelbus etc and some plugin companies threaten to make RTAS plugin but don't "Sknote".



Anyway, the reason for this thread is not to vent but to see how many RTAS plugins users are still out there and support RTAS plugins?



I would love to hear what you guys think, your angle in this!

Why haven't you upgraded?

What makes you stay?



Thanks as always,
