How many audio guys are in the lucky economical position to decide by non-monetary reasons which audio jobs they do? If you're in that lucky position:

Most mastering engineers know the compressed stuff is crap but don't say anything because of the economic realties of who is paying for mastering -- record companies. They're also getting crap (compressed) mixes they process to what limited degree they can, because sending these back isn't really an option. I'm not blaming them.

It's the ultimate customer, the consumer, who can change this situation by not buying overly compressed music...but that's a whole different story. One mastering engineer has said the last Metallica album should have been titled Death by Mastering.

When I unzip that file I see the ReaPlugs as .dll's/Aplication Extensions, but all the of the JS effects are just seen as "files". Do you need to use the reajs.dll like a JesuSonic to VST wrapper to use the JesuSonic FX? It looks like that's what the reajs_info.txt file is saying or am I just way off. Or can I just copy the JS folder into my VST folder and they'll show up as VSTs?

Thanks for any info and thanks for the link.

any1 had any succes in using the jesusonic fxs (not the reaplugs) in renoise??

when i load the reajs.dll in renoise and press load,it says no js effects found??

For the longest time, these JS effects were only available in REAPER. But last December, Cockos made a VST version so the JS plugs could be used in other hosts (I've seen screenshots of them in Samplitude and Cubase).
Alot of these JS effects were created by LOSER, Stillwell, and Schwa.
The Stillwell stuff rivals their payware... There's even JS versions of Major Tom, Event Horizon, and BadBussMojo. They're the cats pajamas. And they are rapidly becoming all I use.

For anyone wondering. These can now be found here: http://www.landoleet.org/old/reaplugs.zip

Have you read the Readme (reajs_info.txt)?

The "JS" folder and "reajs.dll" have to be in the same folder. I don't have Renoise, but it works fine in energyXT for me if that's any help...

I'm tired of this elitist ideaology behind mastering. Help the guy out. No need to shoot down his hopes of making his/her music sound better.

The truth is everything can be done on a DIY level. I would never pay someone to master my music. I'm not in it for the career or aspirations of becoming the next hit on the charts. I just write music and try to make it sound decent.

Anyways, try these freebies. And good luck.

There are some who feel that the traditional roles of mixing and mastering, and the tools for these tasks, are evolving, such that a new form of mastering will be useful for those who cannot or have no reason to use traditional mastering expertise and tools. If the single is the album of the new millenium, that makes sense.

Learn what mastering is FIRST before asking for mastering plugins. Then it doesn't matter anymore what you use. Else, ask one of us engineers to do that job - this is why we are there for after all.

*geez - such threads just boil my blood!*
The problem started when "mastering" plug-ins showed up and anyone decided they could master their songs. They might not know what it means, but they're doing it.

I wrote a very small article because of this topic. I only wrote it because I was irritated and it seemed like a good place to put it
