As with most of the plug-ins Variety of Sound offers, Density it at once both highly usable and (somewhat) frustrating. That does not mean it isn't great; it is truly awesome. Let me explain:

From the developer's blog to various user comments and review sites, one common theme about this plug-in stuck out in my mind: "subtle." And that's honestly the best way to put it when describing how and when to use it. It's ultimately best used in multiple busses/tracks than on just the master alone (though I do have a tendency to do that when mastering as well). It's CPU load is probably the smallest out of my entire VST collection, so it never becomes bothersome or questionable to try and throw another instance in the DAW. The seemingly slight usage of several instances of this VST on a mix shows up once it all comes together, it's just the "getting there" part that's difficult.

Which brings up the frustrating part. As much as I know (or think I might know) about mixing do's and dont's, there's always a reflex in me to turn everything up too far until I notice a clear change in the sound. This ultimately ruins everything; though if that's what you want to do in the first place, other plug-ins clearly have that advantage over Density. It takes a good deal of discipline to make VOS plug-ins, and especially this one, work for you. However, it is possible and worth the trial and error.

Oh, and it's free. So there's that too.
