I would love to hear some demos of the different modes processing the master bus. I find that's usually the best way to get a feel for what plugins are doing to the sound. A video demo would be nice as well.

I just bought it without even listening to anything because I love saturation and I also love any developer who is kind enough to put out plugs for 22 euro that others would charge hundreds for. Why is it lately I am loving the cheaper stuff like this, Valhalla, Audiodamage etc...

i bought it just to have something pretty to look at while i mix.

seriously though, this plugin sounds great on whatever source i throw it on! tons of fun with drums, and adds some nice bite to guitars and bass when placed after the amp sim. it can give softsynths a nice little bit of grit too.

from subtle to outrageous, SDRR does it right!

with so much versatility and power, such a lovely gui, and the amazingly low price, i dare say you'd be silly to pass on this plugin.

i bought this one on impulse as soon as it was announced. I didn't even really care for IVGI, but i imagine SDRR will find its way into pretty much all of my projects now.

it's not often that i recommend products on here, and i'm certainly just a hobbyist when it comes to actual recording so my opinion is just that, an opinion. but i am very satisfied with this purchase!

and i'll say it again... that GUI....

Although, as you did point out later, it does sound a little bit alright as well.

Been able to work magic using IVGI on synths... going to guess this is pretty bad ass, considering the opinions of people on here. Gonna have to try it out soon...

As I said before IVGI did nothing for me but ok, ok, enough already. I'll buy it.

It'll work on some things.
It won't work on others.
The things it works on will sound either too much.
Or too little.

Is this unlike any other VST FX known to man?

There is stuff I got that works 90 percent of the time, and then, no one home.

Then there is stuff that NEVER works. I fire them up occasionally out of curiousity.
Et vous y êtes! Mon petit frere.

Anyway, I don't care if it doesn't even work at all.

Tony is turning into a bit of a mad scientist. I want to see what he comes up with next.

I bet that will be worth paying for!

I'm just trying to encourage him.

Absolutely loving this thing! Been using it mainly on drums and percussion but also sounds great on the master bus.

Hi there

There seems to be a few people that didn't feel too blown away with IVGI. I think this might be to do with the fact that the Drive control is bringing down a ceiling rather than creating a boost that immediately gratifies the user.

It's very important to calibrate the trim and output gain to ensure you are hitting this processor at the right level and I actually think this is it's strength. It is all too easy to whack saturation or distortion on a sound and think you are improving it when the level goes up. With IVGI you don't get this gain boost effect that can trick you. I've been using it a fair amount and find it very good at easing sounds into the mix.

You know when you have a sound that has a little too much transient, a slight bit of clickyness or attack that makes it stand out of the mix? You don't want to turn it down because the body of the sound is more or less the right volume already. You also don't want to compress it and accentuate the attack further either!

Put IVGI on the channel and adjust the trim until the needle is hovering around 0 VU. Adjust the output gain so that bypassing the plugin gives the same apparent level as when it is engaged.

Now, turn up the drive until those spikes melt into the mix.

Pure magic

The frequency response and asymmetry blend are great for further fine tuning, just ensure you go through the above process first and you really can't go far wrong with this gem of a plugin!

I've not had a chance to put SDRR through a thorough test on all modes yet but have a couple of desk settings for full program material that really set a nice depth and help to make things settle into place. So far I am very impressed.

Cheers

Scorb

With further investigation it seems this problem only occurs with the VST3 version, the VST2 one is fine

I actually didn't like ivgi at all and uninstalled it but I was too scared to say anything. I found it had a really strange sound to it. I got allured by the most gorgeous GUI on this one and really enjoy supporting tony anyway so bought it, and its better than I expected. I can't live without his vu meter either. Anyway I prefer this by far to ivgi and i don't think ivgi is the best demo for it.l maybe I'm wrong but I find them that different

Thats spot on! IVGI does SDRR no justice at all.

Hi all,

I've just uploaded a first SDRR update.

SDRR 1.0.1 includes the following fixes/changes:
-FIX: copying an instance in DESK mode made DAW go mute under some circumstances
-FIX: stepping through the presets made DAW go mute I'm some hosts
-FIX: other oddities incl. lost (left/right channel on reloading a project ...
-CHANGE: MIX control: dry signal is now pre output gain
-ADDED: new presets by Don Tyler (Phase47)

I've also updated the manual, explaining the drift control and a few other minor things.

If you're still experiencing weird stuff, please write me a short mail.

Tony
