I gave it a try for sh*ts and giggles. It didn't really impress much; not that it's not good, it just doesn't do anything new or different in the saturation plugin field (IMHO). I don't think it'd be a contender if you already have Decapitator or another quality saturation plugin.

A friend of mine tried it, but it crashed his computer.

I do have a lot of their plug ins, they are good for certain things, certain "vibes".

But, that said, I already have :

-Avid H.E.A.T.
-Avid Reel Tape Suite
-URS Saturation
-Avid Sansamp (very underrated plug in / hardware)
-Funk Logic Mastererizer (awesome!)
-Nomad Factory ValveDriver (from the Blue Tubes Effects bundle)
-Massey TapeHead
-Massey THC

So I think I'm good for now.

But ... if you do try it, let us know how it compares with any other stuff you have.

Cheers
Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.

For some reason, no matter what I try, I keep going back to Magneto.

The intro price was too good to pass up so I bought this today. Haven't tried it yet but I will post more when I do. I have liked a lot of their plugins in the past. Tthe basic E-Comp gets used quite a lot around here. A friend of mine swears by their Blue Tubes line as well.

So it's kinda cool. Worth the money for individual tracks. Still playing with the limiter but so far, it's not something I think I will use much. The tape emulation is pretty good but it's subtle for sure unless you use the EQ section which is OK. I would have preferred to see what the curves are rather than the Natural, Body, Lush settings they give you. Oh well, it's nice for the price and the GUI is nice looking too.
