Product Reviews by KVR Members

Transit (version 1) is already obsolete in less than a year. Now it's $29 to stay current and doesn't replace existing instances. Baby Audio, you've got some great products, but I hope you don't treat them all like this. I'm stepping off the Trainsit train.

This plugin was very useful to me for various types of audio tests. I really hope it gets some Apple Silicon tender-loving care, which is to say a new lease on life.

Well... color me impressed. I just got this up and running in Windows 11 on Parallels, so that I could continue working on an old song that uses a plugin no longer supported in Logic on Mac. It works flawlessly and with zero configuration on the windows side other than installing the VST and running the AudioGridder Server. Beyond that, it's an Audio Unit in Logic like any other. The only thing I wish is that it supported VST1 as Vienna Ensemble Pro does or did (VEP is broken in Parallels on ARM chips). There are a lot of legendary ancient plugins lost, but I will still get a ton of use out of VST2s and VST3s that are no longer being maintained. Andreas, I recommend removing the address requirement for PayPal donations. It isn't needed and might dissuade would-be donors.

The AI upgrade is absolutely mind-blowing in version 2.x. A brilliant synth has now become a god synth.

Impressive analog-sounding tub distortion that you can completely customize (sorry no AAX). This thing sounds beautiful. Best tube saturation I've heard in the box.

Hunk of junk. Actually makes a bass sound fake and strangely more dynamic in a weird way. Use a compressor.

I'm not that much into IK's recent offerings, but the Stealth Limiter and Sunset Sound Studio Reverb are notable exceptions. I'm using SSSR a ton lately. It's an efficient workflow with great sounding rooms, plates, and chambers.

I'm surprised how good it sounds as a bus compressor (tested it with a synth+delay and drums). I checked it out in PluginDoctor and noticed there's a high-end roll-off beyond 10k, but it's a really nice sound. Just have to keep in mind that there is EQ happening.

Not worth paying for. I love BBE's Maximizer plugins, especially Harmonic Maximizer, but these pedals leave a lot to be desired. When compared to other similar virtual pedals by other developers, they rank pretty low in my book.

The best $19 you will ever spend on your mastering chain. I like this better than the $150 Perception plugin (which I also own). It's faster with a simpler intuitive UI. Further, this plugin offers groups and thus can be used throughout a mix session. It might even double as a vocal rider by putting the source plugin on a steady oscillator (with no output). Very cool plugin, giving me some interesting ideas beyond what it was made for. Don't forget to check under the hood; there is a ton of great tweaks behind the gear icon.
