Just turn Time to the minimum value. Then you have almost completely ERs. If you want later echos/reflections/delays use a huge size. Huge size with min time will be like a multi-tap delay.

Alternatively, use Balance mode and set mix/balance to the minimum, and this will give something like ERs. More like extremely dense sense of instant space. You won't hear "Reflections" per say, but generally that is what is desired. You really don't want reflections/echoes in most cases. You want a sense of width and space.

Thanks. Second one is called "Chocolate Banana" :D It's unusual/non-standard for sure, but it is kinda fun and is a nice change for the pure gray-scale and blue/green we use normally.

Anyway, the cool thing is you have a ton of options to make your own schemes now if you so desire. Obviously what really matters most is the sound as Calagan said, but something like Breeze is probably a "use every day of your working life" kind of tool, so it's fun to mix it up sometimes.

Hi Andrew, I mean the reverb, you can’t tweak and hear the effect at the same time. Inital after tweaking you hear what you did, not that great.

For technical reasons we "clear the buffer" when we do updates. If we did not it is possible to have very loud pops.

I know smooth automation of parameters is a big feature request (this is the same topic), and it's something we would like to do eventually, but part of the reason we are so highly praised for our sound is do to how we set various things up and they are not easily adjustable in a continuous manner. It's not completely impossible per-say, but if we wanted to do it and retain our exact sound (which would be critical of course) it would require A LOT more CPU. Anyway, we hear ya and everyone who has same the same.

Oh… so, I should name my favorites among your color scheme examples… second and third!

Just to clarify:

Button 1 enables P-Link? (so I'm telling Breeze that I have Precedence before it)
Button 2 does what? Uses a different (PD Adjust) type of pre-delay?

Hi Andrew

Thanks a lot for your answers, and your presence on this forum...

For answering your answers :

- Thanks for the pdf manual... No pb, we can wait 2 weeks (specially that the new features are not something incredibly new)...

- The style of GUI I like the most ? For a plugin, I like clean and clear GUI (specially if the plugin is complicated). IMHO, less is more, good design is a minimalist (but practical) design. Fabfilter are great at that. DMG Audio are quite cool too. In the "analog style", I like the designs of Audio Thing stuff or Soundtoys.

- About the fact 2 identical instances don't null, i'm very curious about that, but I respect your "industrial secrecy" ;)

- Regarding the balance between ER/LR, I think the absence of a ER/LR mix button (or anything near) is still a weak point of Breeze. And I still don't hear the subtleties (or the interest in this regard) of the "Balance" mix.
But it makes room for your other products I guess, and anyway, you need to let space to the competition and can't make THE perfect product... ;)

Your precedence product looks very cool, but it's a bit expensive for me...

locks the function of button 1 so you can toggle through presets without needing to re-link it every time

Generally because that is the way it is in the real world works to one degree or another. Life is always in motion. It's like this:

each and every moment is unique. each and every single impulse response you could capture form Breeze is unique. every single sample of every single song of every single user from now until the end of the universe is a unique impulse.

even without modulation if you use alg randomize for example there are an infinite variety of impulse responses... at least I could mathematically prove it to be at least 2^3072 variations, but I think it is actually literally infinite, and the difference between 2^3072 and infinity is meaningless for humans anyway. :borg:

enjoying the new update ...
thank you ...

An that's why the image shows a lock. ;-) (just like the wet-dry/balance lock-button)

Perhaps you ought consider getting yourself a pair of glasses - did wonders for me :hihi:

I used Precedence and Breeze 2.1 extensively on one of the tracks I am currently working on. I did not use Breeze on every track, but on most of them - Precedence I think I put on every track.
