Fellow Producers, I wanted to give some feedback here about ReFX Nexus2 because I bought into it without reading all the details, and I can't find anywhere to provide feedback on their shit product. Anyway, in order to use Nexus, you MUST have a specific USB Elicenser plugged into your computer which contains your license. If you don't have this plugged in, any Nexus sounds currently being used in a project are mute.
Situation 1.) I washed my first eLicenser, my fault but at the time I was commuting to school so I was taking it in and out of my laptop daily. The hassle occurred in replacing it. I had to send it to reFX headquarters in Canada to confirm i had a valid license before they would issue a new one, which cost a butt load for shipping from the US. Once they received my elicenser, they messaged me and said they would apply my license when I had the new elicensor ready which wil cost from $20-$50 USD.
Situation 2.) Elicensor generates errors saying invalid elicensor while trying to open a project using nexus. The elicensor went bad due to no fault of my own after about a year and a half, and I couldn't even open any project that used nexus in this situation. I had to mail my old one in, buy a new one, apply license from reFX.
Situation 3.) I have lost elicensor, but the only solution according the ReFX is to buy Nexus and a new eLicensor again.
At this point, I ask myself okay how bad do i need this synth? The only preset I had in use that I really wanted to use in a finished track was the hypersaw preset. I made an attempt to recreate it in serum and it sounds nearly the same if not better. Moral of the story, I almost bought it again due to the christmas sale, but in reality, I had all I needed to make an overly generic preset that I thought I needed.
Don't buy Nexus. It has little customization, and is just 10GB worth of presets sitting on your computer. It is not cheap either.
