I absolutely share your passion for the autogain feature issue. It's simply absurd that plugins companies that ask you to pay even hundreds of euros for a plugin, do not understand that for people who work ITB, that's simply a necessary feature. At least until computers companies won't implement the possibility to use two mouses (or mice??) at the same time 😅

The tragedy is that this entire plugin *and much more* can be achieved with the Fire distortion plugin for free. That one has compression, a ton of different distortion patterns (that you can choose), bit crush, widening (not Haas kind of widening), bias and phasing factors, all the scopes you could need, filtering... And it's a multiband distortion too! Oh and it has some autogain. It's not perfect, but it certainly helps.

Yeah this was gonna be garbage the moment i saw the plugin was made by Unison. those guys entire business model is to trick and scam beginner bedroom producers, they somehow managed to sell midi for 50 bucks. its kind of gross.

been seeing this ad everywhere and all i can think of when i see it advertised is "people cant be that stupid, right?"

Unison needs fast money to pay for all the shitty ads. I will never give them one cent.

Love how you just surrendered to the no-autogain darkness at 4:21 😂

i think they left auto gain out on purpose to trick learners with the old "louder is better" psychoacoustics. its plugins like these which stunt the growth of learners. call a parameter what it is so they can understand what its doing. imagine a learner asking "how can i make my loud parts louder?", telling them to put an expander on it and then they put haas delay on it, ruin the phase and think YOU are stupid lol.

A big thanks for making this video!! They need to hear this!

All of these effects and more are in FL Studio's (and most other DAWs') built-in distortion plugin. Just use Distructor if you're using FLS, and if not Melda gives better plugins away for free. You can tell a lot of these companies are preying on people who are new to production and aren't aware of what's available.

Unison, ohhhh dear…. it seems they have moved on from their midi chord packs. A product that you can easily make yourself in an afternoon. Or better yet, use the built in scale assist functions in some DAW’s or even cheap midi controller keyboards. They spent most of their money and resources on obnoxious advertising campaigns.

dang i haven't heard sandstorm for years! it was great to hear it again - totally forgot how hard it goes

I absolutely love your intro i always mix it up with Netflix's intro idk why

As soon as you turned the first knob, I went "err" and held my hands to my ears.

That was short, but we got the point🤔 And I agree w/ u. Autogain can save time and speed up the workflow

Reminds me a lot of NANI!? and Thickify. Very basic plugin hidden behind a gimmicky cartoon figure.

It doesn't even have a dry/wet knob either smh.

If you wanna get this plugin, you could literally just get some basic free plugins that will do these things exaxtly the same for free, or you could basically just use stock plugins to be honest XD

OMG, I'm not sure if you know, but you intro has been sampled in a song in Spain!!! Its called "Asi Bailaba" by an artist called "Amaia". Its at around 1:35..

Actually, the Mangle knob works really good for synths when used subtly. Still, the plugin is missing the auto-gain feature as they want to mislead people like Plugin Alliance in their demos by pumping the volume.

You could probably replace all of the features of this plugin with the free Kilohearts plugs. They have a Haas plug.

Unison is truly an "all marketing, zero quality" company. Absolute monster, a.k.a a loud and distorted mess in a bad way. Seriously, these plugins should be a "5 plugin effect, into 1 knob" kind of thing. Not smth as basic as this

Hey! Love the content. I was wondering if you’ve done a video about Leapwing audio, in particular Dyn One and Al Schmitt

BTW they pay big producers to use it while streaming and etc

ha ha excatly... at the beginning of the Mangler promo video, the guy says "there will be major volume fluctuation".. and I was already like.. not if you have auto gain.

Only 2 mins in and I just love that you actually bought it (for US) to make a snake oil vid! Never stop until they do! PS Rift by minimal audio doesn't let you turn off auto-gain, but still has I/O gain controls and modulation options. Even the might Saturn doesn't auto-gain like that but it is very different and in saturn it's not even an issue for some reason. The different gain affect of the different algorithms makes it just a different "monster" lmao. Oh and I just found Ruina by Noise Engineering, the euro rack gods, and it's free. But not even close to snake oil so no need for a video on those 2 but a fresh distortion shoot out might be fun! Those 3 can only be compared to the mighty Decapitator imho but I'd LOVE to be proven wrong on that! Can you tell I like distortion?

Thank you for the laugh!

Good video and so on. But the nails.... They are gorgeous, I love them!!!!

The ranting does it for me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Thanks

Thanks

ahahahahaha thanks wyste ! great entertainment in this one. not that I'd buy a dancing purple monster plugin for anything other than visuals (hey idea -- put it on a track with nothing but test tone (muted) and play live with it using the automation to make it dance along with the music to which it is NOT contributing) ... is that actually its origin I wonder? looks like a student project. 🙃

Thanks Wytse for the best niche comedy video of all time.

The problem is that newcomers will buy this without realizing that they can easily get all this stuff for free

I use letimix's gain match when I get sick of plugins not having auto gain

It took you 20 seconds into the plugin test to begin your rant. It's a new record for you 🤣🤣

I wouldnt even download this cursed thing for free...

Auto gain and oversample should be considered a must in 2022.

Oh wow.... I thought it was a computer game from 'toys r us' to see how fast you can destroy a sound. My kids would love this!

I liked the sound of this bitcrush, but yes, that's what bitcrushes are for...

IMO you should left db meter for the whole testing of a plugin

Do Dynamic Grade if you want to do a modern plugin with inovative concept ! :)

Ah yes the old make your 808s sound better quote…here kids buy this

In Ableton Live at least you can program it to commensurately decrease a nob when another is increased. Is it not possible in Reaper?

With a gui like that is strange that they didn't receive any letter by Nintendo or Game Freak.

TBProudio made a fantastic plugin that will compensate gain on any plugin chain. It's called ABLM. Try it.

Some monstering plugins can turn anyone into a monster! Use RX to demonster you!

You can leave out the ? behind Snake Oil in the thumbnail when it come to Unison Audio 😉

This is the same company that does the MIDI-pack with PRO LEVEL CHORDS. That should be all you need to know.

I've a request: Top Recommendation videos for the various aspects of mixing.

I got the unison midi chord pack for like 10 bucks when it was on sale which is fine and definitely helpful for writers block sometimes but I found Unison as a whole to be kind of pumping up their products to be much more than they are. they seem to be much more interested in taking your money and trying to scam you into add-ons than they are in helping you create quality music

There are so many plugins like that where; they have a few knobs with buzzwords that don't mean anything and rely on the ambiguity of the consumers to think its good. It's also very common that they're always on sale.. which pretty much means that's their selling price but they lie about it to make it sound like its a good deal. It's scummy but at the same time I've come across so many of these by this point that I just tune those plugins and plugin companies out. You should use plugin doctor when reviewing these. Will really expose how basic these plugins are and how deceptive they try to be.

It's so easy for everyone to make music nowadays. There are armies of people out there who want to start making music but they are not musicians or technicians, they have no idea of the basics of music theory or the science behind audio. It is not their fault, but this is the situation. They are helpless prey to the scammy plugins industry marketing and these scammy plugins are made for them, to take their money. Until they grow and learn.

Snake oil confirmed

OH NO UNISOM NOT THIS AGIEN

It is unison what did you expect. A well made plugin? XP

Sometimes there’s a time and a place for a ’multi’ plugin that has a quick UI. Even if the things are reproducible elsewhere. I like CLA vocals, Phat FX, Murda Melodies and Micro Finisher for example. But this thing, no.
