I think I got this one for free during that Masterclass, which turned out to be just a Dolby Atmos promo.

Don't think I've used it...

These plugins were designed based on the same tech in Sonible's Smart series. They worked in collaboration.

Sonible has a superior UI, and some additional features, but sonically, they are built on the same core tech, and I doubt anyone could tell the difference in an A/B shoot out. That free promo during the Masterclass was basically getting most of Sonible's AI tech for $0 dollars. I don't think many people realize that...and probably skipped the Masterclass promo and are now considering blowing lots of cash on the Sonible BF sale thinking they're getting a deal. 

And this promo puts the Fast Bundle at $51.68.

It's based on the v1 versions of sonible's tech. The EQ is v3 and has been MASSIVELY improved. IIRC, smart:comp2 added spectral ducking which is basically TrackSpacer on steroids. This bundle is a joke compared to the full versions.

I specifically said that you're getting the core Sonible AI tech for $50. And that's all recent tech - not ancient bits of code from the 80s lol. You pay the Sonible premium if you want the UI and feature set. Which is fine. But that Fast Bundle is excellent tech and hardly a joke.

But you seem to be easily marketed to.

Why do I feel insulted and caught at the same time?

no additional discount in this deal for Focusrite users annoys me while they threw it for free to the "masterclass."

I have no idea. Maybe you don't spend much time using these plugins extensively in a professional context, but have strangely strong opinions about them?

I've got everything that Sonible has made, I also have the FAST Bundle, I must say they are far from a joke, they are excellent tools if you learn how to use them.

Looks like it!
