iZotope has released a new plugin called Plasma.
It's a saturator plugin, that works quite differently from others. I think it's meant for producers and people who just needs to find the right sound without going much deeper with weird settings.
And so it's meant to be user friendly

That's the official page: https://www.izotope.com/en/products/plasma.html
The price it's €55

Here i made a video just in case you are curious to know more

I said it on gearspace, and I'll say it here too: this seems like a bunch of already existing izotope tech mashed into a single product... with no ability to resize the UI.

I'm not entirely sure, but I like it. I agree with Frankie’s perspective in the video. It seems like a tool that can make things sound better or worse, depending on the sound but it can achieve impressive results quickly, and that has value to me.

I downloaded the demo and i'm liking it so far. I was initially skeptical, like you are Erik, and almost decided to skip it. However, the video changed my mind and encouraged me to give it a chance. If i decide to purchase it, i'll use your link, Frankie, because i appreciate the work you do!

Can you change the color of the skin? I couldn't look at that purple for too long. Can't resize the UI? Ugh!

Frankie T. why did you not demonstrate the Delta button? You kept teasing like you would, but missed opportunity. I wish more saturation plugins offered delta. I'm assuming the delta button allows you to hear just the saturation being added, but maybe I'm assuming wrong. Probably the most interesting feature to be honest. Definitely not the price or the visual interface.

UI wise at the moment, is the way it is, you cannot change it unfortunatly. For me the color is not an issue, but the size, it's something i think the somehow forgot and will implement.

You are right, i should have showed the Delta too!
I forgot it just because it's something i feel useless for me, but i know there are people who is interested to listen it too.
I'll try to don't forget about it, for future plugins.

Since it's something pretty distant from my needs and understanding too, let me ask you (and everyone else whos interested in this kind of showcase) a couple of questions, just to have a better understanding and so to provide better contents in the future.

What you are looking for, in a delta listening? I mean in both sound and informations.
And which kind of plugins the delta it's something you'd like to ear?

I like to hear what comes through the delta. An acoustic frame of reference for what the plugin is doing. Same as I like 100% wet at first. Just to give my ears more data about what changes the plugin makes before dialing it back to subtle. I will test the delta button anytime I see it in the interface and with subtle and extreme settings dialed in around it. One can make good use of the delta in TDR Nova.

hmmmm so is this like BLOOM or something different?

What exactly makes it seem like that to you? (and with that much certainty that you feel a need to share your findings with the communities of two different boards)

If you enjoy the video, you can find my affiliate link in the video description. Using it is a great way to support my work as an independent creator and show your appreciation
Few remarks on your video as you posted it here.
Good - the production quality is generally good and pleasant.
Can be improved - the structure of your video. You speak for 1.30minutes without showing the product, advertising your patron without even any content shown except saying what you would talk about. Just after your comparaison/trial is really interesting and well done. I do believe you should tease this part at the beginning of your video because if I didn't click on the link from kvr, I wouldn't have stayed long enough to see it.

On the plugin: I really liked the examples you showed. That's what I am doing manually with Saturn2, having an AI helping me on it is a plus but I am not sure to be willing to pay 55 bucks for just that....

Will see when it will be packaged with their suite.... I have the current one.

Thank you for your feedback!

Just to be sure i got it right. Are you suggesting to place a little part at the beginning from the moment i try the plugin just to tease that i'm showing the product?
If my understanding isn't right, please correct me, i'm very interested to get feedback in order to make better videos.
I also understand the reason of this feedback, i just usually don't love initial teasing of the video itself, expecially if it's short, 8 min ain't that long, and as viewer i always skip teasing intros on video shorter than 15mins, but i know people attention is very low, i just have thought someone not interested in the first part should have just skipped that one to go on the plugin, i'll check my analytics when available, cause your is a fair point i need to consider, and everything can always be improved!

If anyone else have a thought about this, please feel free to let me know


About other questions being asked

There is no oversampling, i didn't checked it on plugin doctor, something i usually do, but i think it would benefit from it, because don't remember on which sound i heard some aliasing, although turning down the white bar, aliasing disappeared, at least to my ears, but would have been a nice feature to have.

I never tried bloom, so i have no clue on what it does, this is a saturator with specific profiles though.

Irony just put on a tie in celebration of your post.

Hello,

Indeed you understood well but let me be a bit more precise.

After clicking on your video, the decision to look is on the first 30 seconds. The immediate impression is very good. Your lighting is good. The sound is going, the colours are good so the general impression is very positive.
On the improvement side, you are repeating basically what is in the title of your video, it is a bit too slow and then you talk about your patron when in fact we don't know yet your value added. So I think you need to enter in the main content much faster, showing that you will do some A/B testing and all.

Got it, thank you very much!

I will do some changes for the future videos.

Some have already been shot, so will come with the samish "issue" of this one, but for the rest, i will change it, hopefully finding the right way to do it
