Wow! Fantastic feedback? lots of great points to consider. Thanks everyone.

Hey guys and gals. I?m pretty new around here so forgive me if we?ve done this one already? It seems like these days everyone is into having a bunch of different pres for different flavors. On the other hand, back in the day, stuff usually got recorded through the same pres (i.e. a desk) and those r...

I just put one together for my band where I created a five minute medley out of about 7 or 8 different songs. We wanted to give an idea of our range of sounds, but knew that no one was going to listen to 7 or 8 songs.

Oh I love this plug-in, but I don't think it can be added to a Master fader?
