How does this not show up on a forum search? It's awesome! I've had it for a while now but today I opened it for the first time in ages. It's so quick and easy and it makes anything sound heaps better.

Because I don't need another sound goodenizer? I got enough things to make my own much better goodenizer, which I do, depending on what I need in the moment. But I'm sure it will speed up some folks journey to perfection

Do you put this before or after the sausage fattener, Bones?

Sausage!?! (Blackadder reference, as sampled by Alien Sex Fiend in the song Sample My Sausage.)

I know this will probably come as a surprise to you, but search isn't only there for your personal needs. I also have a host of options when it comes to goodenising but this one seems to pack the biggest punch for the smallest CPU footprint. It is very unsubtle, though, so best used sparingly on a mix. Like FireCobra, it seems to zero in on electric guitar and bass guitar parts and thrust them to the front of the mix (on the Master channel). Probably best used on individual channels (but definitely best used).

Pretty useless plugin. 5 one-knob functions, all not very good to say the least.

Shows what you know, doesn't it? I mean, seriously, what brand of idiot assesses a product by the number of "knobs" it has? (And, for the record, it only has two knobs, those five other things are sliders.) Or do you think you know more than the guys who made it? Because those guys have produced two no.1 Beatport singles and done remixes for plenty of mainstream chart-topping artists lie Rihanna, Flo Rida and David Guetta. How does your CV compare?

I have only one knob and that's not useless to say the least.

Not that I really want to promote this guy, but, he pretty much nails it on this. I'm not into any of these "signature" plugins really, especially when they are "one-knob" effects.

I have something similar from Waves, CLA something or other, has a bunch of effects in it CLA mixdown maybe ? I dunno if this is a mastering plugin or for individual channels. CPU hit on the Waves one is pretty bad but in a mastering chain only its OK. I think IK M do one similar called "One" again for mastering, and a CPU hit to match.

I like plugins like this though, all in one box, and you say its CPU light, might be worth a look. Especially for using on channels not just for master.

BONES · Post by **BONES** » Sun Jul 11, 2021 10:58 am

Yeah, CPU usage is stupidly low and on the master you only need to be really subtle with the settings to get good results. I'm not sure if it's geared towards an aggressive sound, given the stuff the guys who made it do, but it absolutely suits what we do.

I dunno, this is just about the most positive video I've ever seen this dickhead make. And he is such a dumbass. e.g. He complains about the lack of drive when the Input knob is turned way down. Does he not understand how overdrive works? "Clueless idiot" comes to mind. And he didn't even buy it, his biggest complaint is about the demo version's noise. I'd definitely take this as a win if it was my plugin.

I love the way some brainless idiots around here are more than happy to write something off that they haven't even bothered to demo. i.e. That they don't have the first f**king clue about. Do they not see how utterly brainless it makes them look?

I recommend this book to my predecessing commentator:

There are obviously some similarities.

Reading Bones' replies i think it's time again for that famous Mark Twain quote :
"Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience."
