Well it looks like we have another "centric" plugin from Waves today.
I purchased the VoiceCentric as it seemed to be a fairly nice and good sounding plugin to get some fast results I also used a discount voucher which sweetened the deal even more but the recent quick releases of PianoCentric and now MixCentric.

I guess I am a little skeptical. As it seems you insert this on your "Master" mixbus and it proports doing some magic remixing under the hood. ;^) I guess there might be a place for this in your toolbox but these OneKnob approaches seem to have been released very quickly. Oh my precious.

My guess? Not only will it wind up as a bundle like the Chris Lord-Alge, Eddie Kramer, Jack Joseph Puig, Tony Maserati, et. al, bundles, it'll be discounted super-cheap in the not-to-distant future. I've been burned by Waves in the past (I basically have 2 CL-A bundle licenses; please don't ask), so...
 
In-place edit: while checking the spelling of 'Maserati', what did I find? Geez, but Waves was fast with this one...the Greg Wells Signature Series! List: $349. On sale today for? $299. I put even money on the bundle being on sale for half that amount (or less), within 6 months.

I like the CL-A set the best; they're great for demos! I don't use any of the plugs in the other "celebrity" bundles, even though some are quite good (Kramer's and Puig's). No reason to. I mean, who else but Chris would include a "Cowbell" setting on his drums plugin?
 
Looking forward to your review of all 3 plugs after you've had some time to use them! Thanks in advance!

When I got the email I wondered who would pay that much for a single knob plugin.
 
I think the price would be more appropriate if they had two tabs on the plugin.  One with the magic single knob, the other with the ability to make some tweaks.  
 
I halfway want to download a demo to hear what the thing does, but I also know I'd never buy it at anywhere close to those prices.  of course the marketing says it is aimed at aspiring music makers (beginners), so I understand that.  But most aspiring music makers I know don't want to spend $300 for a small set of tools.

about to demo it now, have the other 2, Voice and Piano, and like what I can get out of them very much.

To me that idea would really make the plugin more attractive. It sort of would be similar to what iZotope Ozone does with the Macro settings.
