I bought both this and the autogain plug in and I have to say they're really great. The channel strip is really useful and it is one of those things you can use on almost every track of your mix. The eq can add little character, but mostly it does only what it should. It's a eq that works and all though I have other eq plug ins that I'll still use most of the time I don't need all their extra features and this eq works. The real genius of this plug in is having the eq with the 2 compressors together. The compressor sounds really good. On the site there is a comparison of it against the PSP 1176 that everyone raves about and I thought this more than held it's own. The 3 different modes all sound different and the beauty of this compressor is that you can't get the right sound out of one of them you can usually find it by switching to another. I often use 2 compressors together when I really need to do a lot of gain reduction, so this is really useful for that.
The only criticisms I have are I'd like the FET mode to have longer attack times and make your sales longer than 24 hours. I live in Japan and I was planning on buying the channel strip before, but by the time I finished work the sale had ended. I think a 2 or 3 day sale would be better. These plug ins are really good and the prices can't be beat, so I'd hate to see you lose potential costumers because they couldn't get to their computers fast enough.
