About the Juicepak?

[Budbud]

What's the consensus on the quality of the plugs in the new Juicepak?

Particularly the Paragraphic EQ2 and the Multiband Compressor?

Is the sound quality of these respected in general, or are they pretty much slagged off as typical, native FX quality, since they were initially written to be native FX in FL?

Can't go wrong with the EQ2 - it does its job very well and is very CPU efficient. (I believe it's mostly based on the RBJ EQ algorithms, which are well known and generally well-liked).

Haven't tried the multibandcompressor as I haven't had a use for it, but in general one can't complain about the native FX in FL Studio. I think most, if not all of them, are either by master wizard gol himself (:hihi:), or based on Ultrafunk stuff (which is now known as sonitus:fx). I don't know what exactly is in the Juice Pack (it looks like none of the ultrafunk stuff, which makes sense) but Edison, EQ2, LovePhilter are worth it already

I pretty much can echo Chris' comments.

I picked up the JuicePak last year during one of IL's "we've lost our mind" sales. WELL worth it even if I don't use it as much as I'd like. EQ2 really is nice and I really like the visual feedback on that one. very logical and VERY useful for isolating any offending stuff
equos (*morphing* sort of EQ...)is another reason for purchase. it can do some really neat stuff!
cannot speak to the Juice Pack multibandcompressor. been using the WaveArts one for a few years and have no desire to stray from it

I love the para EQ2. Suits my purposes almost everytime, equo is wonderful. But the best judge is for you to find out for yourself first hand.
