Redline Preamp has been discontinued. As long as that is the case we don't offer trial versions anymore. Current users can still expect maintenance updates for the VST2, AU, and AAX-version. At the moment, however, we are unable to give an estimate when, or even if, we are able to come up with a VST3-version or Apple Silicon support. As long as we don't have a more specific idea about that, the plugin will be no longer available for sale and should be considered 'discontinued'.
