well nastyCS does sound GREAT. but i would like to see the loading time reduced. takes a looonggg time to load

Ah...it sounds like you've got what Bduffy's got. By that I mean that there's something in your system (I think it's AMD processor related) that doesn't like Synthmaker plugins, and causes them to take forever to load.

nope. no AMD here..Intel Inside

CS takes almost 16 secs. to load

I was not aware that Bootsy's stuff was made with Synthedit....

I removed every SE\SM plugin due to their slow load times and high cpu use (AMD here too). But Nasty-HF is so good that I will just have to let these plugins stay.

Thanks again to Bootsie, proof that it's not what you use... but how you use it.

i find the loading times also too long .
otherwise, nice plug ins.
i wish bootsy and nebula had smaller loading times.
when i open a project with a lot of them........coffeee......tada!
or with nebula. it takes ages to find the right EQ. and then you got only one band for the most programs!

would be nice if a nastyCS would combine ALL bootsy plug ins in on plug, so the loading times are justified by the big felibility one gets then.

peace!

synthmaker.

for me they plugs load instantly and take little to no cpu. i am so happy with my half-year-old computer.

Yes, should work.

It's the 70Hz setting from the NastyLF EQ.

And btw, a bit OT : could you tell what are the changes in REscue from v1.1 to 1.2 ?

The "classic" version did not altered, it just matched the version number of the package.

thermal wrote: 1. how come the highpass also boosts around the freq so much? if i want to cut out the bass, i may not want such a boost to occur as well. did you find this was the best shape for the highpass filter? i am wondering how not having the boost would effect the sound? maybe this boost is best, i was just wondering your reasons.

That's just to my personal taste. If you need a clean/flat one look elsewhere.

2. the little black line on the dials to grab is quite hard to see, could it be bigger/more contrast or something?

But you just have to grab somewhere in the outer region of the knob.

3. when you press the drive button and turn up the drive you can see visually on the meters how much distortion you get as it goes into the red. now when you turn down the gain the meters also go down and you don't see the overdrive. it would be great to be able to view the original signal overdrive level with a toggle button, or maybe some other way?

The meter is currently just connected to one point and I decided that output is the most important in this case. Maybe I'll add more flexibility there...

4. when you turn up the drive, and turn down the gain by the same amount you get a good level match for deciding on the distortion effect. it would be cool if there was an automatic gain adjustment that did this for you.

I'll put that on the list.

Thanks to all for the great feedback!

maybe use a modifier key like alt for that!? so you don't need to rework the GUI

I have a question regarding NastyHF. I notice that the UI has settings for 10a, 10b, 10c and 10d. There's no mention in the manual what these settings do, and I can't find anything in the last 15 pages either (how come no-one has asked this already?).

Anyway, what is the 10a, 10b, 10c & 10d setting for? harmonic content? EQ curve? Q setting? algorithm used? which curry I'm going to pick for lunch? something entirely different?

Thanks
Breame

It's called "single processor from 2003" syndrome. Hits some worse than others.

Yeah, I have the same problem. Sometimes I have up to 10 nebula instances in a project and it can take a LONG time to open it up. Unfortunately, in the case of Nebula it is probably impossible to improve as it simply loads up huge amounts of samples data, hundreds of megabytes.

Bootsie can't help it either as the problem is with synthmaker.

Cheers!

I thought I had plots in the manual on that but somehow I've missed that (Will do that then in an update someday).
Those are four different curves for the HF shelf. 10a is the broadest and goes down to around 1kHz, 10b starts higher and so on.

No no, there is a plot in there for NastyHF! ...but it looks to me like this just shows 4 examples of differing boost AMOUNTS, not curves. Or am I being stupid here? Is this actually showing the different curves for the 10a, b, c, & d settings?

Thanks
Chris

i think they show the maximum amounts on the 4 different settings.

from 10A to 10C the high-end roll of increases, making the 10C the "least harsh" sounding.

Anyway that's my preferred mode, cause i like to add harmonics, but without too much eq-boost.
