Kush Plug-Ins?

Kush are among the best sounding plugins - but you have to like and want their vibe. They aren’t neutral sounding.

My favorites (I’ve tried all but didn’t buy all) are TWK, Novatron, AR-1, and Blyss.

I've never thought they were anything special. Also they use iLok, and last time I tried their plugins, they didn't properly scale on high dpi displays. It has been a while though.

Only sub I have and first plugin folder I go into to look for ideas. I love these plugins.

I tried some plugins, I like the LG Drive. For some reason, the Omega transformers seem to cut any sound output whenever I load them, this happens with all 4 omega plugins, no idea why!

They have great vibe and character. These are plugins that saturate and distort beautifully - except for the cleaner ones like Clariphonic for example. My personal favorites are: Omega TWK (use this as a soft clipper), Silika, AR-1, Novatron (wildly versatile but very easy to use), Blyss and Axis (note: this is one dark EQ with a HF roll off by default but it works great when you want to darken things up and the saturation sounds awesome). One of my absolute favorite developers.
Ditto on TWK, Novatron and Blyss.

I own some of them, I subscribe to Kush when I have a mix to do. Usually for a month or two. Clariphonic is great as well.

They're (slowly) moving away from it, I think.

Silika is amazing, Axis is pretty cool too although I mainly use PSP E27 if I want characterful EQ these days.

Yeah, 458a is good too. I like in particular what it does on kicks. There's a bit of softening of the attack or something that makes the kicks sound a bit "pillowy." When I need that, it's a great thing.

Do the GUI scale now?

Their saturations sound amazing IMO

can someone help me out here, please?
demoing kush omegas twk and 458a, which are 19 USD only ATM. i like both very much.
Thing is, on my M1 Macbook Pro the CPU seems to be much higher with the 458, around 15% hit while running it over a simple audio loop. TWK is much more restrained, averaging 5-6%. These are the M1 betas, with iLok. Running on Ableton Live11.´

Can anyone confirm that 458a uses more CPU than TWK?
Thanks,

On my machine I'm seeing the opposite. It's TWK using twice the CPU of 458a. I reported an issue to Kush via the beta report form.
