Ah, that sucks, of course. Good luck with preventing this from happening again. You absolutely don't deserve this shxt, you belong to the good ones. You should set up a proper backup plan for your forum, though

Thank you for the support! We do indeed have backup for every other bit of data... except for the forum! We were not really anticipating a focused attack specifically on us or our forum, but we will now I guess

hi dnr, i gave an 'honest' review. hope its not too honest.

btw, stil havent decided which eq and comp im buying, but i was also looking at channel strips. was trying out mixcontrolpro and i think it serves it purpose decently. seems to be a more jack of all trades/master of none. its like a swiss army knife of sorts.

i think id get better results with a dedicated eq/comp instead of an all in one solution. that being said, its very quick to program. take in the fact that its quite low on cpu too, and the sounds you get out of it, are decent. enough so that, the time you spend adding a bunch of track fx would be similar enough you wouldnt notice one way or the other.

when you put everything together, its versatile enough that you might not need to use too many track fx. one thing though is the limiter, it just doesnt get the sound loud enough, seems to cause the track to clip and cant be pushed very hard. (though in mcp defense, the limiter may be great as im trying to push out a loud signal with very little volume. (got to keep with the neighborhood noise ordinance) but i think its fun to use and great for dialing in that extra oomph. sorta like camel phat but for mixing. one thing id lie improved though is the skin and jaggy meters in the eq. its just not nice to look at it. (but its the sound that matters anyway) thought id give my opinion because it doesnt get too much mention here on the forumsn and is quite useful whne you give it a chance.

Speaking of the limiter, I wouldn't mind a GR meter. Unless I use my own metering I have no idea of how much I'm pushing it.

The forum business just sounds uncalled for

Yep, another +1

A mix/dry-wet knob for the compressor would be nice, too.

I don't know if it's been mentioned before but in Cubase the bypass button of the vst3 version is disabled. Why is that? Will it be fixed?

Oh yes! Please...

And please explain why on the limiter there's an input knob and a threshold knob. The manual is wrong as it talks about an output knob. Thanx in advance!
BTW, the limiter pumps beautifully! Cool...

Hey Steven,

you might have missed this question.

My apologies, for some reason we have not been getting notified of these entires, so I will make sure to look at this thread on a regular basis.

That doesn't sound right to me, but it would be best to send us in a bug report so that it can get looked at. You can post a bug report via our bug-report form

Sounds like a good idea, I will add this to the current feature request list

Ah, the manual is incorrect, I have sent a note to have the documentation edited. The threshold knob adjusts the signal's maximum ceiling, while the input knob adjusts the amount of additional gain.

Yes. But why is there a threshold anyway? The limiter is the last processor in the chain and you still have the output knob. I see good reason for the gain knob which drives into the threshold but not for the threshold being adjustable on top of that.

I had to wait for an answer on that one

The response: The limiter is _not_ the last module in the chain - the output gain stage is. The threshold is the level at which gain reduction sets in, not just the signal ceiling level. I hope I got that correct

I don't get it. Anyway, nice limiter.

Sorry for switching to German:

Der Limiter arbeitet nicht als letztes Modul, sonst würde er quasi als Brickwall arbeiten. Es ist eben primär ein Channel Strip Plugin und der Limiter kann sich um starke Overs kümmern - muss er aber nicht.

Praktisches Beispiel warum ein Threshold (kann man in dem Fall auch Ceiling nennen) und der Output Gain Regler trotzdem noch Sinn machen:

Schlagzeug z.B., peakt sehr stark trotz oder gerade weil EQ und/oder Compression. Um den Output Bus nicht zu überladen, würde der Limiter den Overload einfach abschneiden.

Jetzt ist es aber so, wenn es einen festen "Ceiling WErt" gibt, kann es sein, dass das Plugin "intern" überfahren werden muss um die Peaks zu beschneiden (Input Gain - Signal wird in die Komprimierung/das Limiting getrieben). Mittels dem Output Gain würdest zu zwar das Signal anpassen, es wäre aber immer noch Intern verzerrt.

Der Ceiling/Threshold wirkt da etwas entgegen.

So zumindest meine Überlegung zu dem Konzept. Bis dato brauchte ich den Limiter nicht.
