Fantastic!! No artifacts and all the sonic beauty. Great company!!! Can't wait to check it out.

After using and loving the product, this is my only complaint. When you do most of the work down in the lower left-hand corner, it's kind of a waste to go up to the top to solo a band. It would be nice if the solo buttons were right there with their corresponding low/mid/high sliders. Maybe put the lock button on the right of the sliders? Even the band separation controls could be put down below as well, or make bars like the low pass high pass bypass bars in Gullfoss and use spectrum info to help you decide where to divide the three bands (probably hate to hear it, but like FabFilter does on Pro-MB, etc.). Nonetheless, it's gonna be useful.

Sick, need to check it out

sounds awesome!

This is an amazing plug. Love it on the mix bus.

Video intro is really cool. I like it.

sounds very nice!

Absolutely phenomenal sound. At first I was like “but I have a clipper”. And then I tried the demo. Yowza. The word glue is overused. This is more like biting into a warm cookie with melty chocolate chips. So ooey gooey. Plus that interface feels like I might be communicating with aliens. A joy to use and probably the plugin of ‘24.

Really awesome plugin. Love gullfos, love this one! Its amazing how it can bring life to some material in a very different way than traditional saturators. Congratulations! PD: Awesome track on the video.. can be heard in any plataform?

Very cool guys!

Seems awesome, really

Questions: [1] Can Kraftur (also) effectively replace a "virtual tape machine" plugin? [2] How would Kraftur be used - on a single track, group bus, and master bus - in conjunction with your other plugin, "Gullfoss"? (Including - where both plugins are used - the order of the plugins.)

Gott at least give it a try. It looks so freaking cool!

love that vapourware style branding y'all doing now

No latency? That’s amazing. Gotta try it.

Great plugin, really interesting, now put a HPF on your vocal please.

I absolutely love Gullfoss and use it routinely in both music and audio post work, but I'm not entirely sure about this one. It seems decent but I already have a few multi-band saturators. Is there something unique about this one that would make it stand out from something like Saturn?

not sure why my first reply isn't showing up anymore, but I recommend using the free trial to do a proper AB comparison with Saturn. I think you'll quickly find they are both different but useful tools. Kraftur more for loudness and Saturn more for character.

@metalhead3ecr

Ай бұрын

There is quite a lot going on! There's single-band and multi-band soft clipping based upon the transfer curves, but there is also a final clipper if you use the Clip button. So if your input Band meters aren't saturating on the bottom of the display and you still hear saturation/distortion, double check the output Band meters on the right to see if they are being clipped by the Clip button. In short, Kraftur isn't just one thing!

checkimg, but not sure if it add anything valuable to the sound. Transients get killed on the drums and every time `i disable the plugin I prefer the original signal. Anyone found a nice setting?:)

I have tried it one more time and I actually liked drivind just a few dbs on the master, with a few dbs on the mid signal. Made the song a bit more interesting. So I beleive using it at sall setting to to add a touch is one nice way:)

Love Gullfoss so I instantly downloaded the demo and was ready to be blow away by Kraftur... but upon A/Bing it with another multiband clipper (which I won't name to avoid sounding like an add for a competitor), I was not blown away... After copying settings and pushing for same RMS levels, Kraftur can't get near the other multiband clipper without the saturation/distortion getting audible. Then tried other settings with offset and knee and sure it colours in its own way, but again, no where near the level and clarity of the other clipper. Clearly I just downloaded this so I need to spend sometimes with, but again...its a clipper, so not too much to play with...anyway, still early days. By the way, I couldn't find the oversampling options? Clicking on the logo brings up a menu that has to do with appearance. Where are the oversampling options?

What is single band or multi band mean?

@ProudSausage

Ай бұрын

Multi band is splitting the signal into three bands. The low band contains the low frequencies, the mid band contains the mid frequencies and the high band contains the high frequencies. Single band is not splitting the signal into any bands. It's just one band that contains all the frequencies.

Here's a copy/paste post by our developer trying to explain our reasoning for the policy changes. " I've posted the same response on KVR and I think it is worth sharing here, too. I think at this point it would be fair to offer some context for Soundtheory’s license transfer policy. The current policy is our attempt at solving a problem with the software industry, and this problem is that we believe that paying customers are treated very unfairly. Allow me to explain: Currently, if you buy software you are facing three options. 1. You pay for a subscription and can use the software while you are paying. 2. You pay for a maintenance period. You get updates and support as long as you pay and can keep using the software if you stop paying. This is usually limited, often artificially, by lack of support for OS updates. Restarting the maintenance after a break also usually comes with a penalty fee. 3. You pay for updates when they come out. The price for the update depends on the version you’re updating from. The fees are up to the discretion of the software vendor and may change. They usually add a few features and improvements, but they also make sure to only give out compatibility and bug fixes with paid updates. Sometimes you receive a free hot fix, but you can expect to pay for updates regularly. These models exist to make sure that the ongoing cost of software development, maintenance, support and infrastructure are covered. But the conditions also force the customer into a dependent relationship. He has to pay to keep using the software, even if he uses it infrequently. The total cost of maintaining the license is hard to estimate and usually even unpredictable. As a result, the investment of the user in the software product is exceeding the investment of the software company into the user, by far. We decided that we did not want to put our customers in such a situation. Instead, we are aiming at a much more symmetric relationship that is based on mutual trust and investment. The user invests in us, we invest in the user. What this means specifically is, that if you buy our software you pay a fixed price up front. And then you pay never again to keep using it. We will deliver updates and support for as long as the software is relevant and maintenance is feasible. We’ve demonstrated this policy with Gullfoss. Since we’ve released it in 2018, we’ve promptly fixed every single issue with free updates, kept improving the plugin and even added two more plugins to the same product. So that you now have three much better editions of Gullfoss. We’ve also made sure all OS updates during that time went smooth and that Gullfoss was ready from day one. All for free. For all our customers. We did not even increase the price of the product. Now, if you bought Gullfoss for our $99 introductory offer, you could now sell it for $199, because your license is just as good as a new license bought from us. So you would have used Gullfoss for six full years, received all the maintenance and would even have gained up to $100 by selling it. That doesn’t sound quite fair, neither to us developers nor to those customers who in fact payed for your time spent with the plugin and the money you made from it by selling it for more than you paid. The problem is, more or less obviously, that a software license does not have any natural loss of value, unless you force users to pay for updates regularly. Since we don’t do that, we need to somehow charge users for the time they’ve used the plugin. Because we don’t want a subscription or maintenance contract the only way is to charge when the user wants to cash in on the license: So we had to introduce transfer fees to avoid any of the other undesirable license models described above and protect both our interests and the interests of those customers who have invested in our product. So the deal is simple. If you don’t sell your license you pay upfront once and we will take care of you. If you want to sell your license, you pay a reasonable fee that prevents you from using the license transfer as an endless trial or even make a profit from selling a license that you purchased at a discount. If you look at the structure of the transfer fees, we think that they are more than reasonable. The base fee of $10 reflects our own cost of moving the license to a new owner. We don’t make any money with it. It’s worth noting that you will NOT have to pay the $25 PACE license transfer fee, as we cover that for you. If you held the license for less than a year, that’s all there is. After the first year, we charge 10% of the plugin resale value at the time of purchase per year until you reach 40% and then we keep increasing it in steps of 5%. That means it takes 16 years for the license to be entirely devalued. At this point you have received 16 years of maintenance. If you ever want to transfer the license, we also offer a buy-back or a partial refund with the same devaluation. And if you name us a charity, we will even make sure to donate the transfer fee in your name if that is possible with reasonable effort. Finally, all these rules are guidelines. We look at each case individually and may waive the fees entirely, depending on how we are approached and what the context is. If you still feel that this is a rip-off, then please take the time to explain what we could do better while running a business. We are trying to be the best company for our customers. So with Kraftur you can expect free updates and improvements just like with Gullfoss. I cannot guarantee that we will be adding free new editions to it, as this depends on where the development takes us. But we will increase the value and give back to all the customers who invested in us. Finally, the 25 year license limit is a nonsensical consequence of European law. If we hand out perpetual licenses, we would have to take one of the established models that we think are unfair towards the customer. If you ever come to the point when you hold a license that exceeds this 25 year limit and the product is still usable, then we will make sure that there is a pain-free path forward that will allow you to keep using the product. But let’s be realistic, 25 years of software support is an eternity. So, I hope I could convince you that we’re not the company from hell that wants to rip everyone off, but much rather are trying to do precisely the opposite. Thanks for listening, Andreas "
