New Nomad Factory Plugin - COSMOS
Hey folks,
If you're familiar with Nomad Factory's line of plugins, you might be forgiven for thinking there hasn't been any new development or maintenance work going on there for some time. Well, never fear -- Nomad has released a brand-new saturation plugin, along with version 4 of their big Integral Bundle which includes a bunch of bug fixes. I just downloaded the new Integral installer from their website, and everything was set up within a few seconds without having to reauthorize anything. As a bonus, the new COSMOS plugin was included in demo form.
I've been playing with it and I think it's a very interesting product -- not only does it do the usual saturation thing in a natural way, it includes bass enhancement and a limiter as well. It's kind of the same idea as the Plug & Mix Clarisonix plugin, but I think COSMOS sounds better. It adds fullness to bass tracks that might be a little thin, gives weight to kick drums, makes guitars sound more present and defined, and can brighten up vocals without making them sound harsh. It's rapidly becoming one of my favorite saturation/exciter plugins.
The GUI is nicely done, the controls work well, and the CPU usage is minimal. Definitely worth a demo, if this kind of thing appeals to you. If you want to purchase it, dontcrack.com has it on special for $69 until July 7:
