I just wanted to take a moment and express my appreciation for you guys NOT playing the clickbait TH-cam game, and for NOT treating your audience as mentally challenged toddlers. Thank you, and keep up the good work!
Maybe I'm the only one to like it. I think it's really good on a 2 bus. Make the sound brighter, wider, some compression and your done. It's faster than Ozone and I would not use Ozone for the same things. You would need a bunch of other plugins to get the same effect. I am getting a lot of bad stuff in the studio and for that quick editing it is brilliant.
I get the impression that the Plugin Alliance are chasing Waves for massive additional unnecessary garbage. Tuner? That pretty much tells the tale. Hey, how about adding a stock exchange report! Yummy! Thanks, guys! Good exposure report. I will say that I do heavily use my Amek 9099, and Focusrite console. Brainworx can bring it when they want to. 👍
This plugin is unfortunately a classic case of "post Soundwide" Brainworx which seems to be all about putting in minimal effort to rehash or rework some existing code into something "new", charging a premium for it, and never putting it on a good sale.
Apparently it was designed for musicians who have next to no knowledge to just record and fix things here and there for a rough mix. So like some kind of garage band bx plugin. Record, add a light bit of compression, some sparkle then sort it out properly later on to develop the musical idea. The design looks too slick for that though. I reckon a gui with a bit of a scratchy stomp box or old school 4 track tape recorder look would have worked a lot better for that concept. It looks like something you'd find in a business class airport lounge to order Hors d'oeuvres with.
This feels like the Taco Bellization of plugins: let's take some of the things we already have and make something “new.” You can make the shell out of Cheetohs, but it's still the same stuff inside.
my thought exactly. Can't see how it is different from the Masterdesk Pro...except for the Tuner, which is about as useful as Tuner integrated into another plugin...
This plugin did not pass my mental spam filter. No you sort of reminded me that there was something I should not buy. And I didn't! Thanx for helpfully adjusting my mental spam rules in the right direction.
I've just been using this on individual channels, and for breathing life into digital flat sounding audio it's great! Not sure if I would use it on my Master or Mix bus though 🤔
IZoTOPE Ozone Elements will do the job of this enhancer much easier and with less fuss for those who want a quick and easy mix. I own 4 dozen Brainworx plugins, like and use them but i agree, this is an answer to a question that wasn't asked. 🙄
Funny video - love it. Sounds like Plugin Alliance are just adding stuff for their subscription people. On another note, I've just reloaded my DAW and it picked up over 600 plugins. Either I need to get a life, or just clear out the crap I've tested and never used. Keep up the good work. Kindest, Patrick.
@@StudioLife101 how bout the new Orion from Jason’s Joshua and cradle? I love it but I don’t like what it does sometimes…sometimes it’s absolutely what I need and sometimes I need to make maybe another bus for the kick but ….its definitely awesome!! Or the new UAD top line vocal plug in is suppose to be great!! Just maybe something for the future
I think the devs for BX, (if there's even any left at PA after the buyout), aren't as interested in producing anything new or innovative as they are in repackaging their old stuff and selling them as the next greatest thing your studio can't survive without.
@@StudioLife101 yeah. I think it's just as you stated in the video. They just threw whatever come to mind at it without much thought to if it was actually needed.
FUCK YEAH, a shit plugin again!!! Part of me wishes this channel would just be about shit plugins, and never any good ones, but the other part of me remembers that I actually bought a few really good plugins from these reviews, so yeah. I enjoy these video so much, dudes, thank you!
PA sold out a long time ago. There was a time when their emus were actually good. Look at their old SSL models for example. Their best stuff seems to come from their partners though. This is an incredibly stupid plugin. WHY is there a tuner? Total money grab. I do like their new clipper though.
I actually think console N and their SSL E are their best consoles even if I think the E's compressor is lacking something of what I expect from an SSL.
It was worth them making the plugin just so this video could exist. Every now and then we need a shit one 😂
True...shit ones are fun to do...😂

Massively appreciate that 👍🍻

I have this plugin and I am with you @jochenh.7428 as I think its actually good.
I think it is also Taste. There are people who would like this plugin.
Demo the plugin, before buy a d you are fine.

This is just masterdesk pro mini version people who have that dont need this at all , Good review

Love the analogy...😂 👍
And thus a new audio term is born “Taco Bellization”
I actually have this plugin and I think its great I use it as a channel strip and it does add some magic to the instruments.
"Or the desire to look for one" - I got a good laugh out of that.
Me too 😂😂😂
I was going to start a high-end mastering studio with this plugin and the Masterdesk "True peak".....
😂😂 You should....
😂
😂😂 You would probably be a legend.....
at making bad masters.
Saved me time and money again! You rock gents!
But it looks like the BX Masterdesk “Pro”! So it’s a matching GUI kind of..thing. Because it’s better to look good..than to sound..good!?!

It's just.....Meh...😏

You guys are too much at the end 😂😂🤣🤣

Have you guys done the unfairchild yet? It’s wowzers
@@vektacular We have...👍
@@StudioLife101 what a great compressor that is!

Have you guys checked out any of the Kush plugins? It would be interesting to get your take on them.
We'll have a look. 👍
Oh the irony of seeing the ad for this right before the vid🫠
😂😂😂
love the video... please review more shit-plugins, its so much more fun! ;-)
We'll do our best.👍
A Uniquely Useless Plugin...
In all the videos i've watched from you guys, this is the first one that has had the shit 🤣🤣🤣

Yep...👍
@@StudioLife101 I honestly expected you to go harder on this one.
@@tomw1970 It's just baffling...why the tuner? 😂😂 It's like a senile AI made it....
@@StudioLife101 yeah. I think it's just as you stated in the video. They just threw whatever come to mind at it without much thought to if it was actually needed.
Yeah, that plugin was not inspiring at all.

Haha ! SHIT ! What about XTComp plugin ?
We'll have a look.👍
Most music made digitally is shit anyway... and sounds like it was recorded in the cold part of the forest!!
It’s a shame to see a once great plugin company releasing this crap.
and their plugins are on par with their customer service... SHIT
No demo no point 😕
Go and try it for yourself, Deena 👍🏼
More shit plugins please!
👍😂
