Absolutely fantastic plugin!
MarcinN_PL 22.05.2021
I usually don't use any 'flashy' plugins named after famous studio/producers etc, but THIS one is absolutely fantastic! Game changer for me - it's (mostly) easy to use, sounds great, adds very pleasant colour to your music. Can be use on master bus as well as on most of the individual tracks. Especially works great with vocals and drums.
It can 'magicly' turn a dull sounding mix into really modern (yeah, i remember that it emulates really old analog gear :)), colorfull, dynamic and brigth sounding track. Can't imagine working without it now :) Highly recommend it!
My only main complaint is that there is no good explanation how compander works. It sounds good, and it's easy to use, but "crossover points" work counterintuitively - applying more low-pass filter somewhow makes it sound brighter (don't understand the controls on this module)!?! Short description in the manual doesn't really say anything, so it could be usefull to know what it accually does, and not guess what to do :/ This plugin also requires 'Waves cenral' software and online activation. While using it in your DAW, there is a 'Waves' process running in the background all the time :/

Sättigungseinheiten sind wichtig - ich verteidige den Kauf jedes meiner 48 Saturation - plugins mit dem Argument, daß sie alle unterschiedlich klingen. Das Waves-Angebot ist aber so hilfreich bei den besonderen Aufgaben (wie z.B. ein Tamburin 50 Jahre attraktiv zu altern), daß man Waves und update-plans in Kauf nimmt. Nicht für alles, aber einmalig.
