Plugin reviews

[jobromedia]

So here is my reviews of the plugins I've tested so far, feel free to add your own as well.

Hybrid Reverb 2

This is a hell of a good reverb, maybe the best I've heard so far. But when using it in FL Studio it doesn't load the settings in the song, but reverts back to the default presets. This bug makes this reverb my 4th best choice. The complexity of this reverb makes this a very good choice if you need realistic reverbs.

Spectrobits

This tool will come very handy when copyrighting one's music. Since you can paint a picture, and it shows up in a spectrogram analyze this is a really nice way to get your trademark into your music.

AnaWave

Nice analog/digital touch on this one. It is quite nice to have in your electro/house tracks for basses and whatnot. The sound is fresh and crisp at the same time. Lots of fun using it.

Stolon

This is a pitch shifter on steroids, really awesome plugin If you produce hardstyle or hardcore, and need that deep dark voice then this is what you gotta try first to create it. I used Madshifta with alot of choruses when I wanted that effect before, not anymore.

More reviews will follow as I test more plugins.

no disrespect, but wouldn't it be better to restrict "reviews" to non-entrants to DC'09 ?

I'm an entrant, and as such I wouldn't dare to review my own entry in any way possible to put my oponents into a shady light. I got princips that I follow stricktly.

I'm glad you like it.
That the settings are not stored is really a pitty. Saving and restoring the state of the plugin was also on top of my TODO list. But when time was running short at the end, I had to re-schedule my implementation priorities and OS X support simply had a higher priority.

@daz.diamond: You proved to be a hell of a good graphical artist. Our design criteria for the user interface couldn't be more different, but your plugin is really eye-candy.

Ciao,

Feel free to review your own plugins guys, I don't see any problem with that.

@christian - can't wait to play with HybridReverb2 - I agree, we're at different ends of the design & goals spectrum ... I'm more behringer/alesis and you're Lexicon/TC and so on ... ... feel free to take some impulse responses from TEV for your "cheap gear impulses" catalogue

I certainly like your gui btw ... I'm actually using relatively cheap & generic - modules / algorithms but prefer not to use a generic interface as I totally follow the skool that if it looks better (than e.g. simple blue SE default gui) then as far as the user is concerned it most likely sounds better - workflow, design value, trust, etc etc ... given knowledge of SE most people could build something akin to TEV in about a half-hour skinning and all that fancy s**t takes a little longer, but I feel its worth it ... I basically want my stuff to have initial good looks for impact and then be unobtrusive enough to get out of the way and let the controls reach the user as smoothly as possible, whilst hopefully being a little inspiring ... getting there

@eidenk : TEV is the best plugin you could ever hope to get your dirty little mitts on.

period.

That's not really a review, is it?
