Apologies for the OT Rune, but is there any plan to revisit Sonitex in the future, or is that it for the plugin?

Oh yes please please please!!

Sonitex absolutely needs a reboot! It was a ridiculously unique and awesome plugin!

[nordickvr]

+1 for Sonitex!

Lo-Fi is all the rage nowadays too

One thing maybe I missed is a quick one-click way to disable the extra EQ bands? Like how the main EQ bands can be easily bypassed.

There is a general way to bypass or AB individual sections throughout the plugin. That is to right-click knobs to toggle between their default/off position and the last active setting. So for the extra bands, you could right-click the Gain knob or the filter type dropdown to bypass, and right-click again to set it back to your last setting.

This plug-in is amazing. If you gave me the choice between this plug-in or basically any piece of hardware in existence (and I couldn’t resell it lol) I would probably choose this plug-in. It sounds great, but the ease of use and versatility are insane, it has replaced a lot of stuff in my sessions and saved me a ton of time. Maybe I’m in the honeymoon phase, but I doubt it.

It’s making me really think hard about all the money I spent on hardware. Life would be a lot simpler if I could go totally itb for mixing and mastering, and I’m thinking if a few more plugins this good come out it would be a done deal. Just do yourself a favor and get this one, $150 is an absolute steal for what it does.

I sing and write myself as a hobby. My main instrument is an acoustic guitar. When you parallel comp the guitar track with the new SMC 2B on a bus, you get a certain sound. A warmth that I tried to replicate with several plugins and failed to even come close. I just used the acoustic guitar preset and tweaked it a little. It’s a beautiful sound. I didnt want to buy the SMC because it’s so pricey.

I don’t know why I decided to try the Michelangelo but I’m really glad I did. It is actually able to make it sound more warm and beautiful. It required some tweaking in the advanced section though. But I highly recommend this plugin. And I’m not even a professional. I just love music.

I feel like RC-20 Retro Color by XLN Audio tried to copy Sonitex, and then a bunch of other companies jumped on the bandwagon with more Sonitex clones, but none of them got it quite right if you ask me (which no one did).

I really like this, it's quite pricy even with the loyalty discount + intro price but I bit the bullet.
I like the creamy saturation and not harsh at all, and my favorite definitely the 150Hz EQ curve, it is done just right, and it adds quite a bit of the body to the master without getting the bloominess, just one knob. this alone make the purcahse worthwhile to me.

Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying it.

Sonitex has a special place in my heart for sure. Nothing is planned atm, but I wouldn't say that's it yet

Probably the best sounding eq so far
