It's not free Mesh..it takes you to the Plugin Alliance Site for you to buy it...$75.00

Thanks Larry.
 
This is possibly the full version and the one at Don't Crack might be a limited one.....IDK.....when I have some time, I'll check out the differences.

Oh....ok.....I didn't go as far as clicking on the link at Don't Crack (the tab above it said Freeware so I just ASSumed )......

I was quite surprised by that also...because it DID appear under the FREEWARE tab...
But I followed the link and got the Download page...

I bought the Single and the Plugin....I still had $10 in my PayPal account...
I figured I might as well use it to help out a fellow musician...even if I never use 
the Plugin...BTW...the single is pretty good...so, at least that was money well spent...LOL

From the little I read on this plug, it's basically to give the kick drum a nice "boomy" sound without muddying up the sound correct?
What are your thoughts on the usage of this?

cclarry
That's my understanding also....so once I give it a whirl I'll report back...
Can't get to it today....got meetings and then Band Rehearsal tonight...
Will take the dive 2morrow...

Sounds good......SOS gave a little review:
 
 
"The stand-alone Boom plug-in is only available in a stereo version, and is the exact opposite of BX_dynEQ in terms of complexity, as there are only two controls. A kick-drum graphic turns out to be an Amount knob for boosting or attenuating the effect, and a kick-drum pedal is a three-way switch for selecting the frequency range for processing (32, 48 or 64 Hz). The knob also seems to be linked to the processing threshold. Apparently, the low boost is applied only for around 50ms per hit, so the sound never gets messy. The bass-drum knob flashes when an over-the-threshold hit is detected: avoid having it lit all the time or the dynamic effect will be lost.
I used Boom to rescue a badly recorded kick drum with no real weight to it, and it did a great job. Simple though it seems, Boom includes the M/S capabilities of the full BX_dynEQ, so that kick drums can be equalised (both positively and negatively) within a stereo mix without upsetting the side signals, hence the reason the plug-in is stereo. Personally, I’d have liked a separate threshold and amount control, rather than having them apparently combined, and perhaps a mono version without the M/S processing, but Boom is a great way to get results without having to think too hard, offering a powerful ‘instant’ solution hiding behind a trivially simple user interface."
 
 
I like no-brainers.

Ok...report back...I had a few minutes so opened up a 32 out of BFD 3, solo'd the kick...and checked it out 
briefly...

It does what it says it does....presets are good...did some adjustments, yep...more and less...

Is it the be all and end all of Plugins...nope...is it worth $10....I'd say so...if you want a quick way to 
pull the kick out in a mix...nothing you can't do yourself...but it's quick and easy...

And you're helping out a fellow musician sell a song...and some plugins...never know...it may pan out into something...

Larry, do me a favor and run this plugin through Christian Budde's VST Plugin Analyzer and tell me what it really does.

That's what I thought.
