No offense to you guys.. but Nexus is absolutely the best Synth/Sound Maker I have found to date.... I use it for everything.... (and so do many many pro producers... just check out kit lists from your faves and you will see many use Nexus). Also check out the many masterclass producer tutorials in computer magazine and see how many instances of Nexxus are used...
This whole concept that most producers consider them jokes is completely untrue... sure some may but you can't say that most do. And quite honestly most these people I see knocking the program... don't seem to have that many tracks available world wide.
It is amazing how people bitch about oh... Nexus isn't for real producers blahh blahh blahh... and then when they hear a song that uses a lot of Nexus sounds...they always ask how you got that sound... or comment on how much they like it.. or what did you use to do this.
The fact is... regardless of what you use.. or how you go about getting the sound is irrelevant.... It is how you use it... what you do with the presets... and what works and sounds best for you... how you work an arrangement out... what other elements you use in a track...
I am in love with the program.... The support I received when I had issues was returned within 1 day (after using their support ticket system).
I think it is highly unfair for anyone to say not to use Nexus because simply you are having issues selling your license..... sorry that sounds like a personal issue to me... and not an issue that has anything to do with the sounds this program can produce....
Yes the owner of the company may not kiss your ass like many others do... but quite honestly I could car less.... as long as they update their products... and continue with expansion packs...
I am more concerned about the sounds that can be produced versus the time it takes to actually program them into a synth... sorry.. I would rather focus on my groove than working with OSC's all day...
Just my two cents... I happened to see this bashing of the program.. and I just want any prospective buyers out there... to d/l the program FOLLOW THE INSTRUNCTIONS WHICH ARE LAID OUT ON THE SITE and at least try the demo....
I ordered it from Germany and received it in the states in less than one week... it was amazing.... it still is... and I will continue to use this product until they are out of business...
Just my opinion and thank you REFX for such a wonderful great sounding instrument!

Just a warning about my experience with reFX.
I sold a bunch of my licenced VSTs etc as I am trimming down the amount that I use to just a few and using more hardware synths. I emailed reFX as I sold my licence for Nexus and an expansion to a commercial music studio.
Michael Hartmann at reFX told me that I could not transfer my licence and that becuase I had attempted to sell my licence that it was being terminated.
WTF?!?!?
They say that its in thier terms and conditions that you cant transfer a licence as they cant tell if you are still using thier software after you transfer to someone else, but its not in ANYTHING thats displayed BEFORE they take your payment and I cant find it in ANY of the email correspondence around the transaction.
Now Im left with some expensive VST that I no longer use/want and cant sell and they are telling me that my licence has been cancelled because I tried to sell it.
As it is, Nexus isnt great, it has problems with sound quality and in my opinion is VERY overpriced. I bought it when I first started getting into production and it had a few sounds I really wanted before I knew how to program a synth myself. I guess if you want that exact sound and you really dont know how to program it then its ok, but I woudlnt have thought that reFX could really afford to be such w4nkers considering that most serious producers consider their software a joke.
So anyway, to any newbs who might be considering buying Nexus or any other reFX product, DONT. They would obvioulsy prefer that you just download thier products from bittorrent rather than buy them.
Thier support is utter rubbish and thier customer service is the worst I have EVER dealt with with any software company, and I have been working in the IT industry for over 12 years so have dealth with a few shockers in the past.
