I filled out the software survey... straightforward.
Here's my "straightforward":
I like the product, but unless I can get a simple answer from
someone at NCH in regard to why the VST effects have a
blockout panel over them, I'd either have to assume it's
a non-functional item, or requires registration.
Considering there is no unpaid customer support, and I
am willing to pay for the product, if it works as advertised
I'd advise a response, or you lose a potential customer.
Barring a reponse, I'd HAVE TO assume non-functionality, and
not purchase it.
