Mr. B.A.

Honestly...nobody wishes you anything bad and I already stated that "you might be a talented programmer" or whatever but the way you presented everything is the main reason people here got suspicious. Think about it.


Once again: Good luck! (It wasn't sarcastic)

Okay, I tried many them & it's confirmed that I have no use for them. Are they inherently bad? Not really but I already own a ton of properly developed plugins so yours would only serve as lower quality duplicates. I do admire your desire and willingness to keep releasing these things on an almost daily basis. You want advice? I'll simply repeat what others have already said.

-Ditch the name. Seriously it's an f*ing joke.
-Stop trying to make clones of hardware that don't actually emulate the hardware, it's a f*ing joke.
-Develop or hire someone to develop a proper website. Yours is a f*ing joke.
-Change your pricing scheme to something a bit more in line with the quality of the product. $29 for a SM plugin that looks like hardware but sounds nothing like it is a f*ing joke.

That's all I've got.

I'd be happy with an explanation of why the plugins are called "bullshit". Isn't bullshit an English word & therefore isn't the English interpretation of the word bullshit taken to mean - foolish, deceitful, boastful, worthless, deceptive, insincere, insolent talk or behavior? I just got this from searching "meaning of bullshit". What am I missing here? I know the ears are most important but still....weird.

OK. It's nice to see commet about plugins.It's not good commet but no problem.I need your thoughts.I will try to make better.

Thanks.

We define cunty differently.

I think a similar word to "bullshit" is "crap", or am I missing some meanings? B.A.Tech described some posts earlier why he has chosen this name...

BTW, I don't think it is possible to make so many GOOD emulations of hardware in such a short time, especially not with Synthmaker.

It would be great to hear from more people who have compared them to the real hardware of how good (emulated) they are...

Are the ones from Antress better?? I have not all those hardware, so I can't compare them...

In what time? You guys keep making up your own alternative reality. He mentioned several times now, that he developed his algorithms over a longer timeframe and finished them already way before he finished the plugins i.e. added GUIs etc. .

Why on earth - if not for the sake of pure trolling - are you guys keep on ignoring this? Are you really so throughly incapable of proper reading? If so you shoudln't engage in internet discussions at all!

For once, I have to agree with miro pajic.




As I've told you earlier - yes, and they are not(!) my cup of tea.


First and foremost, we don't really know how much time you've "really" put into these designs. But from pure circuits alone (and yes, I can relate, I'm a trained IT communication technitian and upgraded to audio engineer - to play along the "I'm better than you" game) it's hard to really, really emulate things.

As mentioned ealier, other firms took months to port and finetune that (example: Slate VCC was over two years in the making, Variety of Sound's Thrillseeker, accoring to blog entries, nearly a year). And unless you're a genious like Fabrice Gabriel (Eiosis/Slate digital), Herbert Goldberg (Variety of Sound), Dirk Ulrich (Brainworx), Urs Heckmann and Sascha Eversmeyer (U-HE) or Quinto Sardo (Sknote), then I seriously doubt that your creations come even close to the actual hardware your plugins are "inspired" and "based upon". Especially if you do not(!) have the hardware to further finetune.


This is what broke the next of other developers that tried to make some quick bucks off of hardware looking GUI's but using stock modules in SynthMaker and SynthEdit. And yes, since I've tried it myself and digged a bit into the topic, it is hard to recreate analog circuity in digital form, and there is no(!) available stock material for either SM/SE for parts like resistors, capacitors, transistors, tubes, etc.


I'm not saying that your stuff is bad - to some it might be the best and only solution, to me you're just one among many. I'm having an eye on the market for quite a while now, I'm doing beta tests for well respected companies and developers, I run a respected "hardware emulation list"... So I can say a little something here and there.



All I can (and actually will say) is that I take your tools with a huge grain of salt. I know the alternatives, and I know what they are capable off, how much manpower was put into them.

I can only re-quote what miro said earlier:
Good luck with your creations. Maybe they will turn into something better. But currently they're nothing to me than just for quick money making and jumping on the bandwagon with not much effort (if it's even measurable) put behind them.



I hope this is feedback enough. Because I also think this discussion leads to nowhere for quite a while now.

That's an interesting statement. I know its kind of a thread hijacking, but do you think the Antress stuff is better (emulated) or at the same level?

Because I always love to hear some opinions of (professional) people who have the possibility to compare the plugins to the real hardware...

I see the word-emulation-has got a few people into a 'debate' again

FWIW I've been mucking around with some of his effects and have found them to be quite good. Very stable and that is what I like...YMMV...

Man, some people here really do love to argue about the most harmless topics.

Correct...and that is the only real "bullshit" in this thread. There's absolutely no reason to discuss a devs sense of humor...
Now go ahead, test his plugs and give at least a little respect for what is doing. Argue with him about the plugs...not his name..for gods sake

head-->table

Everyone talk about my name and my building way..

I want to ask something them.What do you know about electronic,C++ and difference about SM and any other C++ softwares?

Why do you hate SM? I know because you can't make anything..BTW you can import everything about C++ into SM.



Of course there are no! But you can simulate everything if you want.And i made what i want.12AX7,Brimar tube..even non-linear technics..

So it's not easy but you can do everything in Sm if you want.There is only one difference and that's SM has easy-to-interface.

If you want good sound,it's not only hard way..There are many really good hardware but small circuits.

I made a 2 ch. Helios preamp for my studio.It's really basic..And i used another discerete op-amp from Urei in this circuit..And now i love it! It's really awesome!

EVERY GOOD THINGS ARE NOT HARD TO MAKE!

Hello to everyone, my first post here. This is an incredible thread, so incredible that I didn't want to read all of it. I understand people being suspicious because of the number of plugins you've released in a short time, which suggests that it might be a bad marketing strategy, but anyways they are FREE I can't see why people get aggressive in a personal level about getting free plugins.

But anyways, thanks to B.A.Tech for the free plugs.

I found the TransiPunch the most interesting, and useful in a couple of situations (for processing a kick drum). I just think it would work better if it would provide at least the dB amount for the gain knob, and the mix knob does not seem to do anything. Didn't try the eq's as I'm pretty well stocked in that area.

P.S. I like the company name very much.

I don't want this thread to ever end. Ever I tell you.
