After purchasing the Sonnox EQs for my powercore i found that there was a vst version available for download... surely this version isnt as good as the powercore version? or is it? Any one have any knowledge on these vsts compared to the powercore?
Thx, Martin |

As far as i know the native vst versions are only available for Mac. But i would think that they are the same quality, because it's much easier to port an existing plugin to a new platform than to rewrite the whole thing. |

Powercore and VST versions are 100% equal.
@ vegetal: if you pay for something that you could get for free... well it looks like throwing money out of the window to me. Is it ethical? That we can debate.
On the other hand if you want to support developers you can donate them money any time you want... so what's all the fuss about?

First thought when i read your post, -is sonnox freeware?
Which they weren´t, so i guess you mean DL cracked software.
And i don´t want to turn this thread into a "be or not to be audiowarez" thread, so yeah shaman i got nothing more to add.

I agree... no need to debate aboute "be or not to be audiowarez", but equally there's no need to act honest in a highly dishonest world and care about developers who care only about money.
Who's taking care of care takers daughter while the care taker is taking care?

shamantrixx, thats a pretty dumb statement!
to say it in your words, the developers are already taking care of you by providing you with great tools to make your loved music...and you just piss on them instead of giving something back!
or lets say you want a nice chair for your garden and your neighbour got a great one in his garden...would you run over at night and grab it?! if not, you would also just "waste money"... 
but anyway...have fun at what you are doing and I just hope the developers get better protections for all their stuff!

i interpret the "throwing money away" thing, as he could have gotten a better CPU and benefit from Native plugins .. not only sonnox, instead of buying the powercore and the sonnox plug. thats what keeping me off buying powercore, why not just get the fastest computer that can run all native plugins u want,, being sonnox one of them....>?
crack is gonna kill u men

I'm not supporting cracked software in the end but I try to be less naive about it. When a developer really wants to protect software they protect it. I use creamware DSP and there is no cracked software for it. I also doubt that it will get cracked anytime soon. So in fact I do support developers.
But having a cracked software on the "market" is a nice tool to gain users. Some of them will have studios in the future and then they will buy the software that they've used before. Also producers who release their music of preform live will also most likely buy the software. Once they gain a desired number of "crack" users they really protect the software. Cubase 4 is a schoolbook example of that sort of marketing. Just read the H2O info on Cubase 3. They have announced that this is the last "cracked" version of Cubase and they actually sold a story of how excellent was the programing job on Cubase 3. Isn't it obvious that it was all a part of market plan!?
So all I'm saying is that cracks are available because software is selling better when it is advertised by the "try before buy" concept. Since that is the case I don't see anything wrong in using "try before buy" versions of software as long as you're not making money with it. At that point you certainly start being non ethical. Until than it benefits both developers and music community in general.
That is why I find statements about caring for developers by not using cracked software a bit naive. I believe that EVERY user of this forum had used cracked software in the past. So it's completely ridiculous to pretend otherwise just to make us look more cool in comparison to those who still use it.
Do you see my point?

aye, it wasnt that clear in your first posts...it looked more like "try for the rest of your life and never buy"
for this post, I agree almost 100%

shamantrixx i couldnt agree with u more.
when an artists starts making a living im sure theyll buy the software, at least i will. to be honest i woulndnt know shit about music production if it wasnt for try before buy, so far ive only been able to actually buy a couple of software i really dig, and when i can i will get more. but i wouldnt be using or even understanding them without try before buy.
