Big Tick Rhino

Fantastic softsynth. I like to use this to create rich and evolving soundscapes. The interface is really top notch, yet at the same time incredibly deep, powerful and intuitive. I'm no soft synth programmer expert but I was able to sit down and get results, tweak presets, and create my own faster than any softsynth of this kind. The sounds are great and they are always releasing new additional soundbanks. Of course all this means nothing without sound quality, and Rhino has it in spades. Excellent stuff to say the least. My only slight complaint is due to how powerful this synth is, we need more banks! :) Synth programmers will be able to create some out of this world sounds with this. The native effects are also all of very good quality.

Support for this product is top notch. Big Tick replies in a timely and helpful manner. Updates and bank additions are always forthcomming too.

This synth isn't just for electronica either - I use it for ambient/new age work. It's very flexible and powerful. It sounds great and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to get quality sounds out of it. A must have!

db-audioware Quantum-fx

Bottom line, I needed a bunch of effects that can do a lot of sound warping and morphing. Quantum FX has many of what I was dreaming for, and all in very high quality. Add to that some really great mastering tools and you have an amazing package.

My only criticism is the Interface. It's kind of plain. I wish they could make an interface for this that looks something like Isotope's plugins. If you're looking for an amazing set of effects all in one place, look no further than Quantum FX. Arguably the best effects plugin one can get. It was/is for me.

One other note, excellent customer support!
