    Hey, I AM SORRY for everyone that could be offended or whatever else by the volume of my voice over getting louder. I tried to upload the video 3 times and it's still doing it. So yeah, I am doing this for free, I am not getting paid a cent for it, so I cannot be bothered wasting my life on this. I am sorry for this, I hope it won't distract you too much from the point of this video anyway ! Amour !

    @DJ AVO (aka "DedEvsey") Haaaa thanks a lot man, it's hard for me to justify taking the time to do such things for low view counts hehe. Glad it's useful.

    Hey Wheelie, excellent video. Yes there are differences in each example and the most obvious when dealing with transients and high frequencies, but also (and this might be of more importance) concerning the positioning of the material, resulting in more depths and clearer imaging from the hardware. You're right, it's subtle, but it's there. Could become a problem if you think about the cumulative effect of such a plugin when used on many tracks of a complete mix. Nearly almost every plugin does that (so few exceptions of maybe 1% ?) and of course this can have a destructive result in total at the end of the day. Keep them coming. Exceptional work Wheelie. Highly appreciated as ever. Adieu 🤗

    Hey, Aaaaw thanks man :D. Yes the difference is subtle yet noticeable. The Amek was closer in comparison, which makes me think (I am probably wrong tho'). That with an update of the code of this (old) plugin, it could be a massive killer ! Cheeeeeeeers.
