I wish they would make native versions. TDM is going away with computers becoming so powerful.

 It is an ENORMOUS amount of work for us to change from TDM to native.

One day ...

Since it's such an ENORMOUS task, you might want to consider starting sooner rather than later (assuming you intend to stay in the plugin business). Most of the people I know in the business (including myself), are either getting rid of TDM or thinking about getting rid of it. I don't have statistics, but I would bet there are currently more native users than TDM and the trend will only continue to move further in that direction.

 Gosh !!!

i'd love native versions of the anthology bundle . i'm sure it's a huge amount of work to re-write all the plugs for AU/VST mac/PC but you'd sell an assload of them especially if you made them dongle free w/challenge response authorization so people could use them on their laptops. it'd be heaven. i can't imagine pro-tools DSP cards making sense for much longer. another year or two and CPU"s will have who knows how many cores and CPU cycles to spare.. digidesign will have to reinvent itself along the model of MOTU and be an interface + software company or come up with something relevant. i know their hardware is quite specialized and allows for ultra low latency for high track counts when tracking but who cares? apogee, lynx etc are offering low latency PCIe cards w/quality converters/clocks and they are only gonna be better as time goes on.

so.. the native versions will be out next week right? ;) new apple mac pro would run the anthology bundle nicely me thinks.

Can't argue with your analysis. Except .. it may take a few weeks more.

So much to do, so little time.

 

i'm sure it would take more than a few weeks.. there's a lot of plug ins to convert. i'd be happy to beta test for you guys if this does indeed become a reality. :)

if you guys do actually make native versions of these plug ins i really really hope you make then iLok free and allow for 2 authorizations so we can install them on 2 systems.. one for the laptop and one for the desktop. traveling with iLoks is annoying and worrying as they break/get lost or stolen and laptops are fast enough these days to use CPU hungry plugins like these in a live situation. playing live with an iLok is doubly worrisome... i know it's not too common for highend plug in makers to allow for more than one install but these days it's more than necessary and most DAW's (DP, live, Logic etc) allow for installs on more than one system because i think they understand that most people have a live/portable set up as well as a studio set up.. i think it's unreasonable to have to buy the plug ins twice to use them on each system. even NI allows a 2nd auth and many other plug in developers do as well. just my 2 cents

I would love to have the Antology as Vst.

And I add myself with the ones who already strongly suggested not to take the iLok ( and similar) route.

This is the reason why I don't buy Soundtoys.

i wonder if there is any news about native anthology?  Digidesign supposedly has something new in the works. i wonder how it will effect TDM developers?  especially since digidesign has ditched DAE support for logic/dp in future versions of protools. seems now more than ever tdm developers should be looking more and more towards going native... those that haven't already anyways..

anyway - i plan on a new mac pro sometime late this year.. it would be nice to make it sweat running eventide plug ins in logic natively... 

+1 on native versions. I have the Anthology II bundle but the HD2 rig is collecting dust and looking at permanent retirement. Apart from the processing per dollar being way behind the times, the DSPs more often than not max out at 96k (well, at least for most *interesting* plug-ins)....which is a pity as I work at 192k most of the time. So Mr HD2 doesn't get to play with the boys very often anymore. 

Also, surround capable plug-ins would be great. I can imagine spending significant money on a native surround Eventide bundle to complement the Lexicon reverb offerings, especially if it were to contain the ultra-shifter algorithms (not just the 3000-ish ones in the Anthology bundle). Basically make the 8000 a native Mac plug, charge me 2k and everybody should be happy :-)

Personally, I like the iLok. Nice and hassle-free, no "you have already authorised 3 machines so please wait a week for someone in support to get back to you" nonsense. Plug in the dongle, install, rolling. 

 My 2 ct on the matter.

 

any will to offer us an update about a possible Native version at the horizon ?

and, if this horizon exists, how far it is from now ?

thank you !

 

We would certainly like to, but can't say if or when. Sorry.

 

+1

native versions pretty please
