A definitive list of what the Perpetual license DOESN'T have...?

[TheBassBagwhan]

Hi everyone, long-time user of S1 who's finally joined this forum. I'm soon looking at my Pro+ license reverting to a Perpetual license and I can't pin-point exactly what I'll "lose" if I don't resubscribe. The comparison charts on Presonus list "Pro+ Effects" as not included, but I can't find a list of what these effects are. Do you keep the full collection of Fat Channel compressors and EQs? The website drives hard at subscription and every dang link I try just tries to sell me Pro+ again. I know you lose the Console Emulations ... I like it, but can live without. But especially losing some of those more esoteric Fat Channel plugins might be an issue.
Thanks for any help.

You'll lose 10 of the 15 models in Fat Channel Collection Volume 1. Not sure what else.

You could always let your subscription revert to perpetual and see the differences for yourself. It's easy to resubscribe (and you could wait until it goes on offer!)

Thanks Davey, that's good to know. TBH, I tend to use some of the Fat Channel models without really knowing what I'm doing, so there's a kind of "less is good" factor. Unless you're properly familiar with how some of those compressors' characteristics work, I'm probably better off without them! And you're right, if the PL proves too restrictive I can always hit the BUY button. Cheers!

And it's a good excuse to upgrade some hardware. Those come with a few months to a year of subscription as well. That's even more value for your money if you're in need (or craving) for new gear...

I am a perpetual licensed myself. Your Fat Channel will look like this :
- 1 HPF/Gate :

- 3 compressors :

- 3 equalizers :

- 1 limiter :

Personally I never took the time to dive into the subject of the benefit of Fat Channel against simple plugins like Compressor and Pro EQ, which work well enough for me, so I never use Fat Channel.
