Yup, I use it on every bass track with the switch set to "keep low". It may sound excessively gritty and growly solo'd, but it really enhances the audibility and "upfrontness" in the mix without it becoming overpoweringly loud.

+1. I saved a remix once with distortion on the bass. 

The QuadraFuzz?

You must never mention the Quadrafuzz. It is my secret weapon, and if you go blabbing about it on internet forums then it won't be a secret any more. I now have to perma-ban you and delete all your posts. Sorry, you seemed like a nice and intelligent person but you leave me no choice.

Ack, always I stick my neck out like that...
 
Of course I meant the QuadraSID

[...]Korg Oasys or Kronos[...]

I think the Oasys had such a status for a while. But the release of the Kronos kinda cheapened the whole legacy (what, having the same sounds and more for one third of the price?)

Again though, I was mostly talking about a modern equivalent feature-wise.

 Yeah, features aren't the stuff of legend the same as $$$$$

Maybe it's just me, but it seems obvious who LA 2A is or it's just an amazing equipment we get a poster like this the exact same time a regular poster here who has constantly bashed sonar over the years starts posting often again. This happens every year and he usually slips up and posts to defend himself under his regular name.

Silly me, of course. I had forgotten about this childish, cowardly behaviour.

Is it me, or does he sound like "Godparticle"?

It can't possibly be Godparticle. He's too busy DJ'ing every major club from the East Coast to the West Coast and taking ecstasy with some of the country's hottest babes. 

I think his style of trolling is quite different from Godparticle's. I think LA2A would leave Godparticle behind in a 24-hour desert troll race..!

Don't be so hard and cynical, it's just my opinion (albeit adamant); surely you wouldn't deny a person the right to have an opinion would you??

I think in everything you have stated, this single statement stands out the most to me for many reasons. Opinions are like buttholes... everybody has one... and yours carries no more weight than anyone else's (yet you believe it does). Interesting double standard to throw around cavalierly.

I don't think it's your opinion that has people thinking troll. It's the fact that your threads follow the exact same pattern. Plenty of people here prefer third party plugins here. If the words fabfilter or komplete come up you will hear nothing but positive statement. It's just odd for someone to pop up on a forum for a product they obviously don't use and post nothing but loaded questions that ALL lead to that same poster going on and on about other products.

You're not Godparticle, you're my dear friend Mike.

i think i can safely say that you lot qualify as a handful of nobodys, yeah?

These "nobodies" contribute useful information to the forum, help users troubleshoot issues, and assist with demonstrating useful techniques with Sonar. They are smart enough to have figured out a long time ago to a) use plug-ins they like to use, and b) not use plug-ins they don't like to use. They apparently don't feel it's necessary to start threads dedicated to their opinions without offering some kind of useful information as part of that process. With all due respect, you have not posted anything that would cause someone to think your opinions are particularly credible.
 
They're also polite enough not to consistently slam other companies who don't frequent this forum, and therefore don't have a chance to counter any assertions made against them. If the above is the way that nobodies act, then I am happy this forum is filled with nobodies.

I haven't seen it! These guys have not contributed one useful iota in this thread except vitriol and hate-speech. And you have taken sides with them, whoop dee doo!

They are smart enough to have figured-out a long time ago to
a) use plugins they like to use, and
b) not use plug-ins they don't like to use.

Yeah, geeezzz, can you tell me what university i need to study at in order to be this smart?

The thread was started asking for opinions about the Softube Saturation plugin while subsequently including my own opinion about said plugin, how does that constitute "dedicated to my opinion"? That's a bit of an exaggeration don't you think?
No one starts a thread with a thesis on why they have such opinions, credible need not apply. And anyway, several posters have already agreed with me about the characteristics of the Saturation plugin, simply that they find the grit/distortion too much or that it is to be used 'sparingly', so my opinion was validated and proved credible!

Opinions about the products of third-party plugin companies are widespread right across the net in any audio forum you might care to name, and any counter-assertion from any third-party plugin company would mean nothing anyway, people are free to make-up their own mind about the performance of plugins, we just have to use our ears, so what has politeness got to do with it?? If i feel that the latest Toyota or Honda car is garbage then i should be free to say so anywhere any time, what's politeness got to do with it?? 
 
These nobodies have done nothing but denigrate and deride me simply because they already spent too much money on garbage plugins and don't want to accept the plain facts or simply haven't gone to the extent of obtaining an iLOK and don't want to spend more money to obtain what are clearly superior plugins, that's no excuse to come and cast contemptuous sarcastic slurs at me is it? And yet you take their side, so clearly you're party to their comments, nothing about that infers due respect at all, you've been anti LA2A ever since i joined the Sonar forums.
 

I think you might be speaking about yourself, smartass!

The board of elders in the Troll Police have spoken:
 
So lets sum-up 
 
1: Apparently i'm a troll because i believe certain plugins perform better than others in the same category
2: Apparently i happen to be Godparticle (whoever the hell that is!)
3: Apparently i don't use Sonar X3
4: Apparently i ask "loaded" questions
 
Where did the Troll Police get all this inside information, the NSA, Edward Snowden, or maybe the doofus files 
 
There's people here taking envy-based cheapshots at me essentially because i don't like the overpriced overhyped Waves plugins, and believe Slate Digital make superior ones, but in comparison to the several thousand registered forum members here that haven't chimed-in (because they know i'm telling the truth), i think i can safely say that you lot qualify as a handful of nobodys, yeah? Mr Anderton excepted of course, but even he took a cheapshot at me.

Nice attempt at a strawman argument, for starters nobody said you were a troll because you claim certain plugins perform better than others. We claim you are a troll because the pattern of your "questions" always seem less like questions and more like a setup to compare every component of Sonar to others in a negative light. Not one of your topics has strayed from this predictable pattern.The mock offense is very transparent and is standard for trolls. A new person actually offended would likely not be attached enough to stay and go back and forth. Trolls feed on these kind of topics because they can always get a few disgruntled users to give partial agreement while they play the offended card.

I like the Sat Knob, and use it on most of my projects.
 
Perhaps what sets me (and many others in this thread) apart from people who don't, is that I (we) know how t use it.
 
Thanks, Mike, for more proof of your credentials.

At last you respond to my posts, I am a happy chap.

The master of quick wit and repartee..

Not really, just keeping it simple, shall i put it another way... It takes one to know one! The beauty of simplicity. We need emotional content, not anger, now try again! 
 

 
You certainly are simple, Mike.  Angry, but simple.  Just try to project less, bless your little, black heart.

You bloody genius! Please tell me where i can go to learn how to turn the single big bad knob and discern if it is treating my audio with silk gloves

Why the sarcasm, when you obviously struggle with this yourself, Mike?
 
I would have thought that any half-witted buffoon would have been able to figure out how to use it, just by listening, but sadly it was beyond you.
 
You couldn't even tell what the "Keep Low/Keep High" switch did.  Or know the difference between Tape and Tube Saturation.
 
This does not bode well for your future in Audio Engineering / Product Assessment, Mike.
 
Now, let's not enter into a battle of wits.  I don't like to fight an unarmed man..
 
Good luck, and happy music making.
