TBH I don't use all of them (Tesla and Baxter perplex me with their descriptions) but Density, Ferric, BootsieEQ and epicVerb are on almost all of my tracks. 
Really nice input, thanks. Now THAT answered all my questions!bootsie wrote:may I quote that?@midnight wrote:

Yes, it's great, I've been listening through it for the past few days and I'm stunned.

Well there is nothing I've used that I could compare it to. It's potentially saved me $$$. Basically I've demoed a lot of compressors and I am usually not impressed enough to buy them, but if they have a certain colour I might buy them. Density gives me a colour without having to spend $$$. In other words, something comes out, I demo it, and now I've got Density to compare it to, if it doesn't wow me I think I can just stick with density.sheikh al Dudeilan wrote:Yes, it's great, I've been listening through it for the past few days and I'm stunned.

Regarding the $$$ thing. What commercial compressors (or other processors, for that matter) would you compare it to?
I tried this little experiment last night. My reaction:Aiynzahev wrote:Okay, stick the Density MkIII on your buss, choose non-lin amp preset, whack up the (tiny) "color" knob just by the GR meters. Instant everything, 3D, HD, Imax whatever you want to call it. It's that dense larger than life sound you are used to hearing on Rock records. Man I love this thing, and it's free.

Well, yes, that's more or less what I was thinking, too. Alpha Compressor. But now that we have Density MK III... how are these two comparable? God knows, and with these 'descriptions' I guess anyone's guess is as good as mine...Aiynzahev wrote:and now I've got Density to compare it to, if it doesn't wow me I think I can just stick with density.
Make sense? I was just so impressed by what it did simply being on the bus. However it doesn't mean I won't buy any other compressors, infact I've recently been demoing some plug-ins that have impressed me a lot, and they are quite expensive but I've not heard anything do what they do. They really sound analog.

Basically I've been searching for the right tools for a long time but I always considered plug-in alliance too expensive. After demoing though I realise how easy it is to make amazing mixes if you just have the right tools.
So at the time I was in buy-no-plugin mode, but now I simply cannot keep mixing with the tools I have when I know the results waiting around the corner with some more high end stuff.
IMO these two are not at all comparable. The Alphacomp is something that is really worth the money as nothing else I've tried does what it does.sheikh al Dudeilan wrote:Well, yes, that's more or less what I was thinking, too.

'Use your ears' it will be then, all along. Quit rationalizing and just work with what I think is 'best'.
But still, it's a trade-off.
I think most important is the sound. Independent from the format x32 or x64.lightsfadelow wrote:I keep hoping Bootsie will go native and support x64 VST. Would gladly pay for that. If I were a native developer looking to get into the plugin game, I would certainly try to partner with Bootsie for the dsp development.
Well, at least in theory, these are both supposed to be 'mastering' compressors. So they should be comparable. Not in terms of functions but in terms of overall effect and end result. I was already comparing them, although obviously, there's no 100% overlap.Aiynzahev wrote:IMO these two are not at all comparable.
