Seems to me like you can still purchase it permanently if you don't want to get a subscription, can't you?

Maybe, but it's not 100% clear. The ad copy refers to "Pro" versions of several components that may or may not be the same as the "Advanced" versions in Music Production Suite 4.Seems to me like you can still purchase it permanently if you don't want to get a subscription, can't you?

EDIT: MPS 4 includes RX 8 Standard rather than RX 8 Advanced. I have no idea which one "RX Pro" is going to correspond to.

If they make certain products exclusive to a subscription, they are basically committing financial suicide. Too many options available elsewhere.

I just bought Music Production Suite 4 and now this...
Disappointed.
I will use MPS4 while is useful but I will not move to subscription in any case. as @storyteller mention, there are a lot of other options and more to come for sure.
Companies are getting crazy with the subscription model.

Are there other plugins that have the AI-driven analysis of your music, and that will automatically apply a range of plugins to optimize? I use this a lot for my mixes.
Thanks,
Mike
Quite a few on the market now, off the top of my head: TEOTE, Gulfoss, Hornet MasterTool/ThiryOne/TrackShaper, Equivocate, etc....

Sooner or later this subscription bubble thing is going to burst, and I, for one, can't wait.
Do it like East West, where you get the choice, or not at all.

From what I can tell, and from a mention further down the page that mentions "10+ RX plug-ins for audio repair", I imagine this "Pro" version is just a handpicked selection of plugins relevant to music production over a full suite of tools like the Standard and Advanced versions. There's mention of a "coming soon" standalone app for RX Pro, and I can imagine that will be those selected plugins available in the RX interface.

Here we go again. With a move to subscription only a company reveals to have no respect for their customers. I have no sympathy for this nonsense.

If the 'pro' version of RX has 10 plugins it's ridiculously stripped back version of RX compared to advanced. I can't think of a single full-time musician that would opt to rent a stripped back version of their software vs. just buying the full (or most relevant) version outright...
This whole "Pro" version thing seems like it's centered around the psychology of selling part-time/hobbyist/student musicians on the idea of using "pro plugins". (Whatever that means...)
It seems a bit confused... Then again Izotope as of late has been having a bit of an identity crisis compared to the Izotope I fell in love with 13-ish years ago.

In case they read this, just want to add my voice to the choir of people that like their stuff but will never subscribe, no matter what. I'm sure I'd buy another update for perpetual licenses in the future, but everyone who goes sub only is dead to me and I will no longer recommend their products.
From what I can see you can still buy separate plugins.
Anyhow, already got what I like from them (actually the sublime stuff from Exponential Audio, a company they bought) and RX(7) which is incredible indeed.
There are now calling everything "pro" which is a funny move. You usually find "Pro" on Behringer stuff
Would give up on anything that goes full subscription and find an alternative.

Another part of the problem is they have released this "pro" moniker without actually telling you what's better or different about it than the "advanced" versions of their own plugins. I tried to find out on their website but could not. Value proposition is important; nobody wants to pay for something they already have, or that is different in ways they do not understand. Someone in their marketing dept needs to get a clue...

True. But I can't help feeling that they're not dumb or incompetent. They might know something about the marketplace that I don't.
But they have certainly turned me off to their products with this "Pro" labelling. Especially since there's no real explanation of what (if anything) it means.

I had to do some searching, but when you log into your account, the support link becomes available, and that's where all the answers are.
Pro is the labeling they're using for the advanced products that are in the subscription model.
So Pro=Advanced. For now.
They do say that the Pro versions will eventually be getting updates that will not be in the non-subscription versions of the software.
So there you have it.
