You are such a valuable asset to the Reaper community. Many of the plugins you've provided have become my favorites. Your work is so greatly appreciated. Thank You!
John, I hope you know how important your work is and is being to the development of on the box music production. Many, many thanks for your dedication!
Once again I thank you for producing this range of plug-ins. They are fantastic! In addition you could present a video of paint drying and you would make it interesting and I would come out the other side knowing exactly what happened; and very entertained. You have a real gift Sir. Thank you
First of all John, a huge thank you for creating these amazing plugins!! Perhaps this is a dumb question but would you please make a video explaining how hard you need to drive your plugin emulations to get the best colouration of the sound? You spent all that time modelling them so I'd like to know the proper way to use them straight from the designer. As I understand it, it should be 0VU = -18dBfs Thanks again!!
Great work, this looks great. Is there a dry mix in the compressor hidden somewhere? I feel that's the only feature I'm missing. Everything else is very well thought out!
I love this plugin and use it quite a bit. But however, I do miss the old version where there were 3 different types of eqs and compressors. Some times I need a really detailed compressor with all the controls on some tracks while on other tracks, I just need a simple compressor. Same thing with the eqs. Would it be possible to have this versatility return in the next version if that's gonna be a thing?
Hello, thank you for such a great and generous contribution. I wish you could reprogram the way of assigning numerical values to the faders and potentiometers. It is very difficult to adjust the data. It would be much better to be able to right click or something like that and assign the values with the number. pad. Thank you again for your generosity and dedication.
When using the desk input saturation and summing, can we use the tracks' volume faders/envelopes? Or must we leave them at unity and use only the 'out trim' of the sum plugins?
Don't worry, you can safely use your Reaper-features as usual. The saturation of both, the channel and the bus plugin won't be affected. I designed this of course to not interrupt your (all your) usual workflows.
would be cool if Reaper had a separate slot in the fx chain just for console emulators, that can be used to automatically add the console buss and console tracks to every track, based in an fx selector in the preferences just for this sort of technology. so when you add a new track, the appropriate buss console emulator fx would load if you have specified one in the preferences. just trying to think of a way to make the process more streamlined. and easier to globally add or remove this sort of plugin tech for previewing several different console modelers. they'd still appear in the fx chain, but they'd be isolated from the other fx and/or containers in that they'd be auto added based on prefs. just wondering.
That's a kind of workflow and usability thing, I think. And: The placement of the console/bus things in the signal flow is not unimportant. So, having it as a plugin in an insert slot is not the worst idea. For everything else we can use track presets ;)
Very cool! But the output section in S2 seems to take up too much space. It would be possible to place the VUs vertically instead of horizontally, and this would save space in width. Also, the handles and labels seem a little bit small in my opinion. P.S. the dark background in the first series looked very nice, but here background is less beautiful.
Hi John, i cant figure how to connect the sum channe S2 to the sum thing master. Sum channel S2 doesnt have the sum thing option like in the first sum channel. Also is there a difference in sound between the first and second version of sum channel?
SumChannel/SumBus and the SumThing are not compatible. Best you choose one version for your mix. In the S2 plugins there is no Sumthing-Master at all. Instead there are SumThing groups.
In SumChannel S2 it depends on which desk you select. The other plugins are not meant to switch the VU meter'S color. If you want this, you have to change the code.
Awesome plugins thanks for developing them 🤘🤘 Do you think a Trim knob can be added to the DESK INPUT module to control the level of audio going into the plugin?
@@johnmatthews8435 Thanks for thinking about it :) I always use Tool as first plugin on every channel to do the gain staging. That's why I thought it would be one plugin less in the chain if Tool can be integrated here.
Hi John. I can't see the Series 2 version of this plugin in my FX LIST. I have updated the list on ReaPack, and then reinstalled the repository. Still nothing. I have the Series 2 versions of your other plugins visible. 🤔
Fantastic my friend. Congratulations and thank you. But I have a problem. When I put this plugin on the track it doesn't work, it doesn't respond to the audio signal. Can you help me?
Do other plugins work? Is the track muted? Is the plugin bypassed? Is the in and out pin-mapping correct? (which by default is correct) ...could be many things, but usually it simply works.
@@johnmatthews8435 Yes! Other plugins work. "Sum Bus S2" works normally, but "sum channel s2" does not. Tested on the same track. The previous version also works. Only the new version of "Sum Channel" does not work.
@@johnmatthews8435 well maybe it's not strictly necessary one, but it was very satisfying to hear what saturation is bringing to the table. on individual chanel it may seem subtle, but it was stunning how whole mix is elevating when it sums up
I second, third, forth, and one hundreth this. I have yet to find a replacement for Waves Vocal Rider that works in a similar fashion, but I definitely would replace it if John developed an alternative!
@@dmanandcmac I thought so too. The package already has almost everything you need for mixing. A vocal rider plugin would be a great addition to anything else of value
I invented this feature for all the "Series 2" plugins. You can set up plugin-groups, which are linked. You could call it Link-Groups. So you have Link-Groups and Sumthing-Desk-Groups... ;)

Is there a general description of what the different desks sound like? Won’t be able to try this out for a few days and I really want to know!
Thanks for all your hard work. It’s much appreciated.
Awesome, can't wait to try this out!

John Matthews Super agradecido con vuestros trabajos , que admiración sentimos y Bravooooo, Más vida para Reaper, nuestro Daw amado
What is more resource intensive? One channel with one instance of the channel strip, or one track with ReaGate, ReaComp, ReaEQ, etc…
Wow man, looks great, can't wait to try it out!
"Sansdstorm" never sounded better !
Thank you! :)
Your daw looks amazing. I’ve never seen the VU meters displayed like that.
Especially the code for the VU meters needle movement comes from a guy called Zeno. :) But still, thank you!
these all are great! thanks for everything you do!
Thanks John, Can wait to try these out.
Tested series 2. Great stuff in here. All the best!
Wow!! Just found tour plugs and am replacing many of my paid plugs!! Does this emulate the ssl/api/emi desks?
Really amazing work! Do you have other programming experience as well, or are you focusing on audio processing?
I did some other things too, but currently my focus is on audio processing

You can type in numbers, see the plugin's info box for the right mouse-keys for your setup. (I think alt+shift)

I am getting an error screen while pulling the tukan studio link into the reaper sir, what is the solution?
awesome work again. very good looking
you crazy :-D Said in a very friendly way of course :-D great job!
Question (I have all your plugins): how can I change the VU-Meters from Yellowish to the white version?
In SumChannel S2 it depends on which desk you select. The other plugins are not meant to switch the VU meter'S color. If you want this, you have to change the code.
@@johnmatthews8435 I have the SumChannel 2 but all are yellow and I didn’t find the way to turn them white. I will chexk it again
@@johnmatthews8435 FOUND it is not into settings but in "sumthing" ... 🙂by changing the desk indeed as you said 🙂
YOU RULE!!! Thank you.
Thanks John,
Platin so ein Süsser !
Awesome plugins thanks for developing them 🤘🤘
Do you think a Trim knob can be added to the DESK INPUT module to control the level of audio going into the plugin?
Let me think about this. For now, maybe use "Tool S2" before this ChannelStrip if you need to adjust the input.
@@johnmatthews8435 Thanks for thinking about it :)
I always use Tool as first plugin on every channel to do the gain staging. That's why I thought it would be one plugin less in the chain if Tool can be integrated here.
Just put a volume plugin before it one comes with Reaper.
Hi John. I can't see the Series 2 version of this plugin in my FX LIST. I have updated the list on ReaPack, and then reinstalled the repository. Still nothing. I have the Series 2 versions of your other plugins visible. 🤔
Re-Scan your plugin list or simply restart Reaper :)
@@johnmatthews8435 I'll try tomorrow when I'm back in my studio. Thanks.
Newbie here! Would I put Sum Channel series 2 as the last item in effect chain or first item in effect chain??
Wherever you like to. Usually first, but there is no general rule.
Instead of calling it _plugin grouping,,_ why not call it _control grouping_ or something more specific?
Hi John! Can you make it possible to enter knob values via keyboard? Thanks for hard work, man!
Click the knob while holding alt+shift
@@johnmatthews8435 Thank you
Awesome.. Thank you.. 🙂
Song name? It was something about sand.
Was that ironic? The song it "Come together" original by the Beatles.

@@johnmatthews8435 no Unfortunately. Only this plugin does not work. I already reinstalled, but without success
Freakin kool!
Incredible work. That's it. That's the comment.
is there no bypass chanel processing in SumBus (like in old SumThing)?
look at the top of the plugin :)
oh, now I see what you mean...no, that feature is dropped. Good you remind me of this one.
@@johnmatthews8435 well maybe it's not strictly necessary one, but it was very satisfying to hear what saturation is bringing to the table. on individual chanel it may seem subtle, but it was stunning how whole mix is elevating when it sums up
You can change a SumThing-Group to no-desk-mode for that ;)
@@johnmatthews8435 that's actually a great solution, thanks!!
wow 😍
Hey John! Not planning on developing a vocal rider plugin? It would be a great addition to this amazing pack.

It's called "Peace"
tks so much ~~
7:48 Link, yet you still named them group (confusing and one letter longer than the word link)

@@johnmatthews8435 Does it mean we can rename a plugin Group and call it LinkA etc.?
@@PASHKULI No, they just have numbers. Most other plugins simply don't have that feature ;)
