I have heard you and Bitflipper give it high praise, and they're video demos clearly show that this is something that will make a difference. I know its nice to have a lot of tools, but if I could only have a few, that can do a lot, I'll have what I need. Fabfilter EQ and compressor may be what will get me where [I think] I'm going. (Cuz I kind of just find my way around sometimes by intuition and some careful planning)

I also really really really like the EQ. I did a cover of Josie and plopped the EQ on the master buss just to shine it up a bit and do a little HP work. The compressor is a character compressor for sure, I don't push it very hard at all and it's sounds great. I bought these in the 2010 No Brainer deal and used them on 3 or 4 projects and they do sound very good. $ 20.00 and you'll feel just a little guilty for it.

I bought the Nomad Mastering Tools that were $20 a few months ago. Has anyone compared the two? 

From a distance, there are some definite similarities in the gui's...

How long do these No Brainer deals last or run for?

Hi Vince. Not a hell of a long time usually so often you have to be quick. The British Bundle no brainer at AudioMidi I think runs until the end of May which is not far away now. It is usually in fine print somewhere on their website etc.. Couple of weeks or a month even a week in some cases.

Well, it turns out that my comment on youtube was accurate about the plugin not making any difference on the audio, and Nomad has responded:

"Well spotted. I had applied the unproccessed audio during mixdown and hadn't noticed before I uploaded the video. I have made a new demo video of this plug-in that you can view by clicking on my channel. It will be at the top of my posted video feed."

Kreative.  thank you.  maybe the new one will show me something worth spending even $20
