Plugin Mate OR Plugin Cleaner?

[marcouad]

Which one should I use and how are they different?

I‘m on Ventura 13.6.6 on an M1
UAD 11.2.0
Logic Pro 10.8

Thanks

41 views and no reply. Have I made a faux pas in asking the question or are there hardly any forum members who use either?

I’m biased. That said, use whatever works for you, it’s easy enough to try them both, and both are free.

The way they differ is that mine is Mac only, but provides an ‘a la carte’ way to manage the UAD plugins, meaning you can choose to have all, some or none of the plug-ins you own at your fingertips. And you can choose to have/reinstate all, some or none of the ‘demos’, at any time, within seconds (well OK, maybe a minute).

I think it's a small percentage of users. Having worked with RogueM directly with very positive results, I am also biased.

+1 on the 'going rogue' option

Sounds good. Thanks

Actually, it isn’t. Typically I get an average 1-2 requests of access to the beta every day, pretty much for the last 3 years. Plus of course I know the monthly download numbers (both beta and ‘stable’) and they are pretty high, as you would expect from a large user base.

Now as to where those users come from, I’m not sure, few interact with me, and I suspect they just get the link from this forum / another forum / a friend. The bottom line I guess, is that there is a HIGH demand for a more flexible plug-ins install/management. UA seems not to care however.

So in your best case scenario, that's less than 2200 users.

For context, there are over 57,000 users on this forum, and many more actual users of UA products.

So yeah, like Matt said: A small percentage of users.

2200 smart folks

2201! I'd have installed sooner if I'd known about it!
