He's had a fair few nicks. The latest, it would appear, being zck.

Even though you must know a lot about kvr (being entrenched here with 3000 post of nonsense), you are incorrect.

Ah, I've come across the ihsan incarnation and it's wild promotion of ADL.

Can't wait to analyse this plugin in the means of quality, performance and other issues.
Fortunatly i'm on my first day in Rio de Janeiro now. Starting my practical term. Living can be soooo easy...

Looking forward to your opinion.

Sounds like hell of a surgery knife. Supa clean, very sharp Q and astounding CPU drain. Shelf filter curves seem to have very musical shapes. At least on the mix i've tried them on.

Multiple plugins only work with the lowest quality setting. They took some precautions against stacking up.

I received a reply. It's not going to be cheap! Four figures at least - not really your typical KVR members price range )

Shades of Algorithmix. I think they should get a clue. Very few people will pay hardware prices for software.

Looks like I've got a longstanding date with the freebie...

At least?. Implying that is could go over $10,000? Why did they even bother to put this on KVR?

Okay, edit that last post. I got a reply and he said $1K-$1.5K, so they are shooting at Algorithmix, but he also listed this:

http://www.massenburg.com/cgi-bin/ml/mo ... d=ZgJqpSk5

as one of their main competitors, so you can judge for yourself if that makes much sense.

They are very confident that they have revolutionary technology. Not something I've heard so far, but it is one of the better plugins I've tried. I'm really not sure it beats UAD's Precision EQ in the non linear mode, which to me is the better sounding mode.

BTW, the Massenburg clocks in at $11,000.

No, he actually said "Massenburg 9500, $11,000" in the email he sent me. If you read their website, they say their EQ technology outperforms hardware EQ's.

This isn't a track eq. Even the one band freeby in lowest quality. Something like sonalksis eq will do a better job as a insert eq. On the other hand using sonalksis on a problematic mix will seriously muffle and screw up the sound. That's where algorithmix and this comes in. Hence the price.

I agree, it is much more neutral than Sonalksis, even in non lin mode. I'm not knocking the quality, but I'm dubious about charging that much for software, particularly a plugin with really only one function. In spite of their confidence in it, I don't think it's going to replace serious hardware mastering EQ's.
