Good point, there are some settings where you can go in an manually lock that individual setting (not avaialbe for all settings though).....such as the attack, release, ratio, i.e. the standard settings the comp. They are more "input/output" types of locks. That is helpful though.

haha...I ended up getting both the Turbo Comp and The Royal Comp. Agree that the A/R is pretty odd to not be in ms as that is pretty much the standard, and a clear "thing" in the scientific real world. That said, still a good value here as they have items to purchase for $5 that can get you this plugin. I also think it would have been interesting if they had a "keep the settings' option to let you then select the different styles of COMP instead of having to re-tweak everythign when you want to try a different one. Granted they do have more than an A/B which you can save to and then switch between. And honestly I also agree, ratio isn't quite as prohibitive as the A/R being a percentage. That kind of stuff I find harder to hear especially not in isolation.

While the font type doesn't seem to be publisehd anywhere.....it seems to be a very close cousin of Ariel, which is one of the most widely used and beloved fonts. The UI is one of the best ones on the market when you factor in the ability to customize it. It just seems so odd to me to criticize some of the features that make it better than the other applications on the market. Yes, if you could vectorize fonts and UI elements to never show limitations of screen size or resoltuion that would be intersting. There is a reason why others are not able to do that, and if you are using A nice dual monitor setup, frankly I don't exactly see a whole lot of need for it if you just buy corrective eyewear.

If they throw in Luminar AI, I'll bite. ?

Multiple things, idea creator, put down basic chord structure quickly (using voicings that might be difficult or unusual on my main insturment - guitar) as that can create a different feel, I'll use some of the "phrases/patterns/whatever you want to call them" to come up with another layer or ideas, use it to audition chords that I might not think of, to audition scales without having to think about notes on a fretboard type of thing, which can lead to melody creation I might not have gravitated towards. I even use the "felt piano" that is built in sometimes, sounds interesting.

Already had it, use it all the time.

Every article I've ever read on compressors shows the ratio as it serves a mathematical function of what is going on. I'm not sure how a percentage plays into this. Even if it was setup as a ratio knob or slider, in the digital realm it could be much more accurate and all points between, but could still give a reference to that. Now if a compressor doesn't have a ratio knob....that is a different thing...But if you are adding a ratio knob - there is basic math involved in what it doing to the signal. While it might not be 100% accurate in the analog realm on a particular machine, it still makes sense of the range that is expected. Other controls I might agree with them.
-
interested in it as the interface seems more straightforward than many other "m" plugins. However, ratio as a percentage seems like they have never used a hardware compressor....and to a lesser extent using attack and release as a percentage.

Eventide Omnipressor Is FREE This Cyber Monday(EXPIRED)
Brian Walton replied to alex satt's topic in Deals
If the retailer wants to remove the license from anyone you can be assured they can. The ilok system that most of us have paid extra money to use these manufacturer plugins in the first place makes it super easy to revoke those seats. Go to the eventide authorization how to documentation page. There is a section on how to redeem if you got a product free. Point being they do give this stuff away with enough frequency to have a public write up. They didn't mail out a $2k compressor, they delivered software that is of frankly limited value and they even setup an easy process to revoke licencing if they feel it is worth the bad taste on the consumer end to do so. If you look up an actual definition of opportunist, you will notice there is frequently a section after the exploitation part that says this was done without being guided by consistent principles or plans. You can't tell anyone that the group here doesn't live by a consistent principles of find deal, share deal, redeem deal. This is the guiding principle of many of us. So by the very nature if a deal is posted it is to be acted upon. Thus calling any of us opportunists isn't an accurate use of the term. This "mistake" also likely got them more foot traffic than they have ever seen in a day and more awareness of the product on the market. Ethical or not, I can't imagine the company is out anything financially other than the time to clean up the error with customers, eventide and ilok. Or in an extreme case future business dealings with the same company if they consider you a liability for mistakes in the future. (and no, I didn't even have an opportunity to grab it, seems like it might have only been a few minutes of free for all). -
It is software. Almost all software companies use an online distribution system now. The only exceptions I can think of are HUGE libraries that come on an overpriced hard drive. I don't remember the exact size but it wasn't as big of a download as I expected given I have all of it. Way smaller than Drum Core. If you mean online only from an authorization standpoint. Once installed and authorized it doesn't need an internet connection to continue to work. If you only want to use the brain and no samples, to drive other drum libraries you may have...that installer is super small.

Most of the upgrades between products are packs that can be purchased separately. Id message Ralph with what you have and tell him which product you want to upgrade to and see what he comes back with.

Analog Obsession Releases Britpressor – FREE Vintage Compressor
Brian Walton replied to Larry Shelby's topic in Deals
The story suggested the previous hosting was compromised and replacement files were placed in the downloads. The new site supposidly used the original files that were not compromised. Bugs still existed, but to his credit he has been releasing lots of updates that suposidly address many of those previous issues files. I tend to only attempt to use his newer stuff based on this situation. -
I've been using it for a few years, and honestly still don't feel like I have any idea what I'm doing. But even still, would not want to live without it. I get a good amount of use from Jamcussion too which I didn't pickup for at least a year or two after I purchased the inital XXL Package. I own it all now, including the minipacks Another thing of note, I initially only used the Brain to drive other drum software, but after I had to download everything (if you want Jamcussion to work, you have no option), I found the main drum sets to also be usable with some post processing. Not saying the are the best, but better that a lot of people give them credit for.

Well some support alternatate vst paths, but not specifically for VST3 (which ends up not working) https://answers.presonus.com/41480/studio-one-load-vst3-from-different-folder-than-the-default However, on topic here, I tested it and the VST3 for this plugin related to this thread does worth with Cakewalk in an alternate path (assuming you have that path added in the VST scan folder) -

I use a plugin or two of his, but I also procede with caution when I do. We were not talking about a couple bugs....more like a small infestation. I really appreciate the new model he setup and I think that is better servered than charging for plugins that many have legitimate issues. I only noticed a couple of small things in his newer plugins, but I think anyone would be wise to use with some caution if htey are using it for professional work. (I would say the exact same thing about WAVES, for perspective - as I do not believe the system they use is completly reliable and have plenty of examples to that fact). His plugins also have not been super efficient for the type of plugin in my experience either. I haven't given up on him at all, but I do think it is fair when someone asks about the history to make sure they know some of the facts. -

True and also not true. Depnds on some factors, I don't know all the technical details but I can tell you with certaintly some applicaitons will not recognize some VST3 stored on say a F:drive like you can easily do with VST2. I haven't had issues putting plugins in the default path for VST3, I have had issues putting them somewhere else. Not sure if that is the case with this one plugin and bandlab in particular though. -

Yes. Thus his move to the new website. Also a history of bugs...don't forget the bugs. -

64 bit VST3 goes in a special folder on Windows, it doesn't go in all the other random VST folders like the older spec ones do. Usually C drive - Program Files - Common Files - VST3 Place it in there and run the scan and chances are it will show up. -

Pretty safe to assume this was a error based on the fact it isn't listed on their Cyber Monday link as any sort of give away, etc. -

I'm in the US and it is $49, unless there is a discount code involved. -
That is the first thing I attempted. Didn't work on that one either or after a reboot. Would try another computer, but honestly if I can't install it on both machines easily, then I intentionally won't install a product. Odd considering the filter offer from before worked just fine.

Downloaded but won't install for me, getting an error after running after extraction.

An entry level camera with a decent lens with good lighting can produce professional results. I have friends that create films (multi award winning) and they own a RED cinema camera, a pile of dslrs and mirrorless cameras. But they also have shots in these productions that were from an iphone. By the time they edit it and it is compressed to youtube, no normal person can even tell there were "low end" clips in there with the $60,000 ones. But the lighting is of paramount importance to get those results.

With a few video tutorials and then just googling how to do particular things, the learning curve is pretty small for simple videos. If you want to add effects, do advanced color matching color grading across a bunch of different sources, etc then it gets more complicated. But for the average person that just wants to put a few video clips together with audio, the learning curve is actually really small, IMO.
