"super high quality"

sidechain compressor filter is a "very unique" feature

heh, I'm just messin' around.

I also go nuts when testing good "new" plugins.

They are great plugs indeed, but with the amount of quality and feature rich plugins these days, the FF plugs aren't so "unique" really.

I think Fabfilter stuff is still unique. They definitely have their own thing going on. When I use a Fabfilter plugin, it FEELS like I'm using a Fabfilter plugin. If that isn't unique, I don't know what is...

That's your argument?

When I use plugin X (with the same features) if also FEELS like I'm using plugin X so therefore it must be unique.

I agree that the FF plugs are overall great plugs and they might have their own feel when using them but that doesn't necessarily make them "super high quality" and "unique"

I also didn't say that some of their aspects weren't unique also...

I'm just trying to keep things in perspective that all.

Fabfilter plugs have a lot of intelligent stuff going on under the hood, and they are visually inspiring and functional. They are as high end as anything out there. Can't wait until they introduce oversampling into all of their plugins.

^ FF might release a MB compressor next.. if you think about it, PRO-DS can be a multiband (one band bust still) at a click or a button. So, if they had released the PRO-MB first, the PRO-DS would have been barely interesting I guess, since you can de-ess with MB compressors.

....

There are great plugs all around, some have similar features and some have others.

For example, Pro-Q can be directly compared with DMG EQuick. (EQuick not only sounds better IMO, but takes up less CPU also)

Pro-C seems to be compared with DMG Compassion (didn't test Compassion and barely played around with Pro-C even though I'm familiar with all it's features)

PRO-L can be compared with the new Ozone 5 limiter maybe. For different features, Waves L3

Note that the only FF plugs that I tested heavily are the Pro-Q and Saturn

An apparently great de-esser could be the SPL one ( https://plugin-alliance.com/en/plugins/ ... esser.html )
...but it has different features than PRO-DS. I currently use the Waves de-esser but I don't know how good it is, I guess it's good enough at least for the amount of work I put it up against.

Bottom line is: I hate expensive plugins!

...especially today when a good amount of solutions can be covered with much less money but with same audio quality results.

The FF duo have said that multi-band compression is something they are definitely considering doing ... lot's of requests from their user community. I suspect it's not a matter of if but rather a matter of when.

Hey, no problem!

MB-comp for mastering?
Try Ozone5, very nice MB compressor module that can work in M/S also..

Have to say, all the FF plugins are fantastic. But their de-esser is the best I've used by far. The limiter is excellent too!

I like the pricing discounts as well, if you already own some of their plugins.
