All the hype says buy buy buy !!! Bapu and Bitflipper both endorse it!!! At half price- it's still too expensive for me :(

One nice thing about Melda is they have frequent sales. I tell myself that every time I have to pass something up

What is it about this that makes it worth $123 [and normally double that]?
 
Some wanna tell me [us] how this would be best used? 

Eeeees majik I tells ya.

For once I'm having no issues whatsoever controlling my GAS.
So, please, do explain why I/we should part with $123?
Or better yet; don't.
Then I can move on, "nothing to see here".

Sorry, Tom, but I'm gonna go with option #1.

But you really have to try it to believe it. Do the demo, you'll see.

That is the most in depth incredible VST review I have ever read. Totally brilliant Dave. Compare it to the one cclarry posted about Ozone which was a page and a half of padding.

You should do an audio version of it- voiced of course by mr smooth voice Dan Worrel :)

Great article. I was actually able to understand a lot of it, that's rare. I like the concept of the plug.
 
I can see how it would work to make things sound better, in my mind it reminds me of custom guitar nuts and micro tonality. A bunch of little changes that do nothing by themselves but make the entire instrument sound sweeter.
 
Thanks for sharing.

I have the Mastering Bundle (I find it indispensable for, well, mastering) but I've largely eschewed the MSpectralDynamics plugin because I didn't know what it was for.
 
A couple of weeks ago I dropped in on the Bass guitar track just for kicks (I had nothing to lose, the bass track wasn't sitting right and I was planning to tweak it). What BitFlipper describes in his article is exactly what I experienced: The Bass suddenly sounded great in the mix. I was embarrassed that it was so much better and I really had no idea why.
 
I know this sounds like one of those stupid fake endorsements... but "I used it and I couldn't believe what it did to my Bass track" - some random audio tech
 
Definitely worth a look. Only you can say if it is worth the $$.

For anyone who has read the MSpectralDynamics documentation, they'll almost certainly be even more impressed at what a remarkable job Dave did in demystifying this unique and way-off-the-beaten-path effect.  I completely agree: totally brilliant.
