Most over hyped plugins are the ones used on countless hit records.

I've seen a lot of crap used on hit records.

Yeah, it’s not possible to think it all this way. Kazoo has been used on countless songs, some more successful than others. Does that make a kazoo a superb sounding instrument ?

It proves nothing that some may use an instrument or a plugin and make cool successful songs with it. The instrument may still sound like s#it in some people’s opinion. Technical aspects do not necessary have to match with the quality/success of the song.

Seriously, I’d say it’s what a lot of people are crazy about, and a lot of people don’t give a f#ck about.

Took the words right out of my mouth...errr....keyboard.

I guess hyped means "popular", or maybe frequently mentioned when someone starts the 129,576th "Name your fav XXXX plugin" thread?

id rather hear people's hype to be honest, there's enough shit talking going on in the real world.

i may not always agree, but id rather hear you excited about coldplay than miserable about a band you know nothing about because you didn't like that one song...

I’m going to make a thread. "Is Vurt over hyped ?"
My personal answer is : "what the hell is the connection with this topic ?!?"

And more seriously, if people stay humble and keep in mind that we’re just people talking, influencing almost nobody but our own @ss, everything should be fine here. Humans talking. No need for a war because we don’t agree about a plugin right ?

no, it's a great book
tbh it's not highly rated enough!

Even while saying they’re overrated, you still feel compelled to overrate them. Social desirability bias governs KVR.

How is it possible that you can read my mind ? This is the first time I really see myself in a mirror that way.

You’re crazy : let’s be friends !!

Which plugins are hyped too much in your opinion?
