Not sure if it increases with the more you have though, or whether it's just a set loyalty, but it's still nice to see. What particular functionality are you looking for from SmartComp?

I had thought I might get Trackspacer at some stage, but I'd been waiting for it to go on sale. But when it finally did, I'd just found out about SmartComp instead.

I like sonible stuff in general as I find their UIs to be pretty well designed. They can also get you close to the settings you want quickly often needing only minor manual tweaks. I have Trackspacer so will be interested to see how the unmasking capabilities compare with it. This video piqued my interest when Smart Comp 2 was introduced so I kept it on my radar waiting for a decent upgrade price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just watched this one now. Will be very interesting to hear how you find it in comparison to Trackspacer. Do you find their plugins heavy on the CPU?

Yeah, the "Trackspacing" feature (spectral compression) will murder your CPU. But it's a mixing tool for special occasions only (frequency clashes between a handful of elements in a mix at most). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another useful one; I've watched a lot of his reviews. He even used it for de-essing ? Edited November 28, 2022 by ZincT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the gig is up Mibby... I'm not sure what their normal loyalty offers are in their common sales, but it did seem like a good price. In many cases waiting is not always a good option if it's something you want! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in this case I guess it saved me $30 bucks. I emailed support. We'll see what happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Yeah yesterday when I first looked I swear it was €29 for me and I went back to buy a few hours later and it was €45. When I checked on my laptop 10 minutes after that it was €55. Weird teasing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
