news to me...
Focusrite d2/d3 removed from HD bundles.
No annoucement from Digidesign...
comments please....

Well they are always adding new plugs; it’s not surprising that some old ones fall by the wayside...


I personally haven’t used them for years anyway..


Plus, Digi & Focusrite are not exactly in bed together like they used to be when the Focusrite name was on the Control 24’s etc... Maybe some licensing agreement has come to an end as well...


I was told by someone at Focusrite that Digi spat the dummy because Focusrite brought out an audio interface & therefore became a competitor...


Anything that resulted in those horrible Focusrite Platinum pre’s not being in Digi gear anymore is more than fine by me...

I agree Nick.
My main beef is that they don't announce it, leaving punters in the lurch.

I am not sure how they are leaving anyone in the lurch...

If you bought the system with HD pack before its removal you have the iLok licence and you can install and use those plugins as long as you want...

And afterwards, it wasn’t in the sales literature when you were buying the system, so you weren’t expecting it...

Not so, just built a system and the online auths did not xfer d2/d3, so we were left in the lurch. Contacted Digi and they sorted, but again why don't they inform us?
Voce spin was also missing...
