This was hyped to no end on GS but I tested it against Arousor and it was clearly inferior. ?‍♂️

At twice the cost and a lock down to iLok, shouldn't Arousor be superior sonically?

[Bapu]

Inferior or not my $75 voucher makes it had for $24.99. So I'm OK With that.

IOW.............

I paid $49 for Arouser LT and don't need any of the fancy extra features.

Forever 29 to the rescue!!!  ?

And Bapu got this one for $25....so still twice as expensive?  ?

I went to the kiieve website and they have two plugins for free.  I was a bit disappointed because one of their plugins is a clone of a clone.   Their plugin is called, "Warmy EP1A V2".  This is a clone of the Warm Audio EQP-WA.  Funny because the EQP-WA is a clone of the Pultec EQP-1A, so they are cloning a clone and not the original Pultec EQP-1A.
