Thanks for posting this David! I've been following the conversation over at VI-Control.

One thing I would note is the two price points you mentioned are both for the Pro plan. One is the regular price and the other is the sale price. I was not clear as to whether that sale price would be honored for the full two years it would take to achieve a permanent license. I suspect the sale price may disappear shortly and the monthly will return to full price! If so, the $528 (which was already too steep for my needs) could go much closer to the $924!

They also offer a lower cost plan that is regularly $29/month but on sale for $16.58/month. The only difference I saw was 1 voice slot vs. 5 voice slots. I don't understand the tool well enough to know the impact of that. If I am only creating one voice at a time anyway could I just use the lower cost plan and generate each voice, one at a time? Why would I need 5 voice slots? Maybe that is a limitation I don't fully understand?

Finally, I'm glad you mentioned something that might not be immediately obvious... and that is they could go out of business and you lose all access to the tool and all of your investment. In the current business climate around AI and music I suspect they may be a desirable acquisition for a large corporation which could also completely change the terms of any lifetime license you might hold. But with that all said, it is not unheard of for tech to change or simply disappear entirely! I developed quite a few very successful Flash apps and Flash-based website enhancements back in the early 2000s and within a decade Flash was dead!

Thanks again for posting this and for being such a great resource for all things having to do with this synthetic vocal stuff!
