Winter NAMM 2012 News
What I like most about this plugin is it's fabulous sound and the fact that it is pure eye candy when you program some really cool "moving" effects. What I don't like is the fact that it will randomly crash. This could be something with my system, you never now, and it has happened only a handful of times, but after spending 20 minutes craftin...
The plugin is good, and I've used it quite a bit. It's way more versatile than most other noise reduction plugins out there, and you can dial in exactly how you want to get rid of the noise. However, I usually find myself just using the standard Logic noise reduction unit. It's just a bit easier for me to stick with the standard Logic plugins...
This is a decent plugin, but I always find myself wanting more versatility. Personally, I prefer different plugins for each individual effect rather than have some sort of all-in-one solution like this. There just isn't enough versatility to do everything I want to do. It can deliver some quality effects, and considering how it's laid out, it...
If you're looking for a good bass buss master plugin, this will work fairly nicely. It sounds great, and it's easy to use. I think Waves tries to push this as a simple solution to do any bass mastering, but it really depends on the mix. The best weapons you'll always have when it comes to getting bass to fit the mix will be high pass and low ...
What I like most about this unit is you can stack a ton of effects and stutter style edits and more into one plugin. Overall that helps reduce cpu usage by not needing 20 different plugins to achieve the same thing. I notice no degradation in sound quality when using this. I do notice that the distortion isn't mind blowing, but Izotope Trash ...
The Crane Song Phoenix Dark Essence plug-in and the Phoenix bundle in general is a great one to have in any DAW. They're using for mixing and for using on a master bus for home mastering purposes. Dark Essence adds a certain presence and fullness to your sound and is definitely up there with the best analog tape saturators that I've used to da...
What I like most about this plugin is the amazing control you have over each parameter. One of my favorites is using the "Palindrome" feature which lets you set and use a reverse style effect. Its truly amazing for lowpass effects or just general reverse style effects and the grid that lets you shape and control it is very intuitive. I guess ...
Out of all the plug-ins in the Waves Chris Lord-Alge bundle, the CLA Effects plug-in is definitely the most versatile. The others in the bundle are specifically designed for individual instruments, but this one is useful across the board and for all applications. In general I like to use individual effects processors for mixing, but there's so...
The Antares Systems Mutator plug-in is an interesting one to say the least! There aren't too many plug-ins out there where you can do these sorts of things with it, so it's definitely nice to have. It's good for pitch shifting a voice up or down, but can do so much more than this with sounds that can't even really be explained. I'm not sure t...
The SoundToys PanMan is overall a really awesome plug-in and is one unlike any that I've really seen out there before. Most people will use panning automation in their DAW to get the job done, but this has features beyond what your audio software will be able to do. This is because it's really more of an effective plug-in than it is a traditio...
