The site

thesounddetective.com presents software by The Sound Detective / Digital Dust Studio. Names, features, dates, and prices shown for unreleased products may change before release. Site content is ours; don't republish it without asking.

The software

Downloads from this site — including the Dust 12.47 trial — are licensed, not sold, under the End User License Agreement. Installing or using the software means you accept it.

Trials

The Dust 12.47 trial is free, fully functional, runs for 14 days on one machine, and requires an activation code we issue by email. When the trial ends the plugin stops processing until a full license is activated; your sessions and settings are untouched and come back exactly as saved once licensed. One trial per person/machine; we may decline or revoke activation codes to prevent abuse.

Purchases

Full licenses are not on sale yet. When checkout opens, the price, refund terms, and delivery mechanics will be stated on the product page at the point of sale, and purchases will be covered by the same EULA.

No warranty for pre-release software

Trial and beta builds are provided as-is, without warranty. Back up your sessions. Nothing here limits rights you have under law that cannot be limited.
