I'm also having trouble logging in to the upgrade site. Kazrog: I sent you a PM with the original e-mail of the purchase of Recabinet 2, would be great if you get it sorted. Looking forward to check out 3.0!
Check email.

I'm absolutely loving how well any combination is perfectly in phase sounding. Doesn't matter what you choose, it wil always sound in phase![]()
LOL... fuck... you found it...
I wish I had never said that because I spoke WAY too soon... I chalk it up to the kind of excitement and inexperience that has come back to haunt other startup developers cursed with "over promising and under delivering."
Basically, the original plan was to release a freebie Windows/VST IR loader made in SynthMaker, get it out fast (by the time I wrote that stupid post I had a working prototype built that way), and keep iterating the library as the main product... then perhaps evolve into something more like what Recabinet 3 has become later on... but plans changed and I realized that there was no point in doing it that way and putting off more ambitious goals. I wasn't happy being stuck on Windows alone, and SynthMaker was very frustrating and limiting...
Recabinet 3 then evolved into a cross-platform, hard-coded, monster project - the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life, requiring a massive investment of time, money, resources, etc. - essentially re-investing any profits from previous Recabinet versions back into the business to make something better possible.
So, admittedly, yes, I changed my mind. However, a huge amount of the Recabinet user base actually is getting this upgrade free - it's been an insanely popular offer.
If there's any of you who feel burned by what I said last January and bought during the $14.99 sale because of it, I'll be happy to figure out a way to make it up to you, just shoot me a PM. I am a man of my word, but it's impossible for me to adhere to something I NEVER should have promised in the first place, because I'd be screwing over the folks who paid more than double what you guys did.
Wanted to mention I tried the demo a few minutes last night with Garageband. I used the AU, with Garageband '11. It seems that the AU is getting cut off like drawnacrol mentioned but also I am seeing issues with preformance. The playback gets really choppy, then stops playing. This is with only 1 track with the plugin. I have a brand new IMac G5 with 8gb of RAM and have not experienced issues like this since getting the machine. I will test in Logic tonight, hopefully I do not see the same issues. Not sure how many people actually use Garageband on these forums, I know its not a 'pro' style DAW, but I tend to do a lot of testing with it as well as recording quick ideas.
Awesome plug in Shane, been waiting for something like this for ages, going to buy it later on today, AU demo works great and uses very little CPU but two things I've noticed are:
Garageband cuts the top of the plug-in so you can't load/save presets, this is a problem with garageband though and not Recabinet because I've seen it before
with other AUs:

In Logic the drop down menus were a little unresponsive at times, when changing cabinets I had to click 2-3- times. Other than that awesome work and congrats on releasing it, I'm going to be using it a lot.
I'm loving it Shane!

BTW: This is a CPU killer, can't run more than 1 instance in Reaper (W7 Dual core 3GB RAM...) without artifacts at max latency. Not that it's a problem of the plugin, cuz my pc sux.
There's no such thing as a "brand new iMac G5" and we're not supporting PowerPC architecture. It's a bit of a minor miracle it works for you at all actually. Sorry, we are considering PowerPC support but haven't reached a final decision about it yet.
PS - we did most of our interim build tests with GarageBand (because it loads faster than most DAWs.)
The performance on the Windows side isn't as good it is on the Mac side at the moment. A performance update patch for Windows will be released in the coming weeks to address this and put things on even footing. In the mean time, here's a few quick tips:
PS - the Windows/RTAS version is on the way soon as well.
- 64 bit bridging on Windows might suck with this version. Try the 32 bit version of your DAW.
- Extremely old hardware/software has not been tested
- Alpha or pre-release DAW builds are not tested or supported
