finally a GOOD review of a plugin and not a dude telling you the plugin is amazing because the signal is 5 dB louder. Thx! I tested it a lot on my master and unfortunately it messes a LOT with the phase, because of the Multi-Band filtering ofc. Weirdly it also messes with the phase in the "single"/single-band mode. Could work well on busses and individual tracks though.

9:15 I totally agree!! Never quite got the hang of Ozone's Exciter. Too many options, too many controls. I like the simplicity of this one (and its pedigree, Gulfoss...). But we need to know how much we are shaving when clipping!! Let's hope they add those visual cues!

I use L2 and sometimes It only decreases the dynamic by 0.1 LA. I still wonder why people are afraid of limiters while clippers can be even more aggressive as well.

You can definitely do something similar with a regular 3 band EQ and a saturation plugin before in the chain, right? I've been doing that for years on my mixes.

Where should I put in the chain , at beginning or end ?

@inthemix

21 күн бұрын

You could put it anywhere on any stem or your final mix bus. I prefer to run this as the second to last plugin on my master chain, before my final limiter which will have more detailed controls. On individual stems, I would run this first to get the tone dialled in before wasting time with EQ and compression. Does that make sense?

Is the clipper a soft clipper? must be, but wanted to ask. one of the best clippers is SIMPLEClip - it has "Soft Clipper Pro", a feature none others have. I am very split between Kraftur and Simple Clip "Soft Clipper Pro" mode.

“You know I’m something of a producer myself” 💀😂

@PolarityMusic gonna remake this in Bitwig in 10 seconds

What is the difference compared to a Multiband Saturator e.g. Saturn2 with a Clipper e.g. KClip afterwards? Is it the same logic just different algorythmen programmed what sounds different but is doing the sam thing? I like how easy it is but just want to understand the difference.

Great question. It varies by DAW and system but on my M1 Mac: FL Studio: It uses the same or slightly less processing power/threads than an instance of Pro L2 with 4x oversampling engaged. Wavelab Pro: It uses around half of the processing power of an instance of Pro L2 with 4x oversampling engaged. I think it is a fair amount of usage for what it does and seems to balance CPU optimisation with performance. Maybe having a "lite" mode with no oversampling would be a cool feature to add for some mixing situations though! I will send them a message and suggest it. Thank you!

​@@inthemix Agreed. I've been using it mainly as my soft clipper because of the Multiband option. Fruity wave shaper and fruity soft clipper are simple but a little limited for the whole mix bus. I hear that KClip 3 is Multiband too 🤔. Might have to wait for a sale and get both Kraftur and KClip to see if they will overthrow the Maximus x Fruity limiter combo😂😂😂

I wish both this and gullfoss had a delta monitoring button.

I would really like to hear this man's opinion on Creamware Scope synths emulations.

How do you think it compares to Kazrog KClip? It's a much cheaper plugin

what diffence it maskes when compare to maximus in fl studio?

Pretty sure you can do all this with KClip3, no? Doesn’t appear cheaper either, what’s the draw?

8:55 I wonder how much of it is the clipper compared to the multiband saturation.... Saturation reduces peak to average ratio, so it really helps to do it before limiting (assuming not too much saturation already anyway). I actually do what you're doing in the video quite a lot already, but just using a multiband saturation without the clipper. What you're saying about usually using 2 limiters and ushing pro L2 too hard also made me think.... since L2 is actually 2 limiters already, 1 for peaks and the second for the general gain reduction job. But that's not really what you'd do with 2 limiters right.... I wonder if it's good to think about the average to valley ratio as well for limiting. Either way if it sounds good it's good, probably gonna test it out, but not positive I'll get it. The only thing I feel that this is better than my current setup is the volume matching. Surprised that they can actually do it well... haven't seen any multiband distortion with volume matching before

Saturn’s JUST saturation, very customizable with different types. This got (one type of) saturation + clipping in one… and intended purpose different - Saturn offering more versatility for all kinds of saturation on all kinds of material vs. mix bus / mastering loudness. Would obviously have more control over customing the saturation with Saturn - and might potentially be able get similar results with it + clipper afterwards. Though, this DOES seem to work well for its intended purpose of loudness boosting - and sometimes less is more. Gulfoss was fantastic, so would expect them to have put in some proper effort with very deliberate reasons for how they’ve built this - and potentially worth it for the niche intention & its effectiveness. Could be interesting to see/hear comparisons tho…

And there are also many instruments for which the reverse slow fade in would also be useful. Like adjusting transients but with a much larger time window.

Bro PLEASE HELP ME, Fl Studio is Consolidating and exporting my tracks and vocals with a few Ms of delay even without any plugins. It's almost unnoticeable and it happens only in certain parts of the audio. It's not the whole track that is delayed equally but the beginning of the track is ok and as you go forward a take a look to the next words some of the words begin and end with a few (ms) of delay from the original. And if I put Autotune the delay gets 5X worse. My buffer size is 64, my Cpu is ok, theres NO plugins loaded. and the PDC delay compensation is turned ON. No matter if i export or consolidate track the delay is the same. Doesn't matter if i choose from song start or from track start. I'm on FL 21.

​@@inthemix Not really, i can't really hear phase shifts alone - i usually have to do A/B on an oscilloscope or make a null test. However phase shifts from plug-ins that do minimum-phase splits with 12db/oct filters or steeper (e.g. Kilohearts Multipass) sometimes end up changing the headroom, or affecting the tone if you insert them before a saturation effect. Sometimes i use those side effects deliberately, sometimes i avoid them with gentle 6db/oct slopes or linear phase filters. So i asked more from a place of curiosity, rather than implying that i heard anything. The plugin sounded very good and transparent on the examples 🙂
