Programs for which you can buy an optional Fraunhofer plugin for US $339.15

  • Pro Tools
  • Logic
  • Cubase
  • Nuendo
  • Sequoia
  • Wavelab

  1. When I do a search I find a multiple websites that seem to be offering the Fraunhofer plug-ins but I am not certain which, if any, is an official site for this plug. Anyone got any suggestions on that?
