Great news! I'll certainly have a good look at it. Herbert's stuff is always top notch, because he really tries to do something new, unique. Keep 'em coming.

If only the plugins were native 64bit :/ I know about the difficulties, but still. They wouldn't have to be free for me, either. I'd imagine that the VoS line-up at a tonebooster-esque price point could be a success that would make Herbert's work worth his while.

His plugins are better and more unique than some of the > $100 plugins I have.

x32 isn't problem for me at all, jBridged VoS plugins work without any problems in my x64 Cubase.

Amazing plugin, thank you Bootsie!

A few test runs while mixing: I don't know what the hell it's doing to the sound, but I really like what it does. There's a noticeable gain of... presence, for lack of a better word, without any noticeable artefacts or distortion. Depth is another word that comes to mind, but we all know how words fail when trying to describe sound.

Still need a bit more experience with it, but it looks like it's going in my channel strip. Well done!

Thank you, bootsie.

If anyone wants to know what this plugin does:
Imagine your audiomaterial would be a picture, then look here (before/after):
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File: ... gleich.JPG

...and it sounds exactly this way

Everyone's taste (depends also on the input material), but what about this:

More HDR pics: http://tinyurl.com/nzvrm5e

Been listening to the 70's Pink Floyd albums through it today. Verdict: best plugin in the universe!

the one on the right looks kind of unnatural, like a painting. the one on the left is simply too bright and lacks contrast. nothing a decent photo editing software wouldn't fix. maybe i'm just not buying this whole HDR thing

(not meaning audio though)

Thanks, bootsie, for bringing the mojo back!

I tested it on different material, and it really brings some nice coloring into it; quite pleasuring, not as aggressive as other saturation effects...

Try the plug-in. This back and forth about pictures is useless. If you don't like it, you didn't waste any money, just a little time.

Variety of Sound just released SlickHDR -a new approach towards high dynamic range processing on the audio domain. The UI might indicate it’s some kind multiband compressor but that’s not the case. Consider it being a multi-timing compressor.
...

an explanation by Ronny Pries which pretty much nailed it ...

And just in case that you wanted to look at some really unobstrusive HDR images, then just have a look at http://varietyoflight.wordpress.com/
and make it better.
