I liked it and bought it. I also bout SoundToys Microshift on an earlier sale and compared them. While the do similar things, they give different results. I like them both. I am mixing a cover of Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit, and the ADT was able to give me a subtle psychedelic quality to the voice on one of the settings that sounded great and couldn't be reproduced on the Microshift. I look forward to playing with them both more on guitars.
 
PS: I do like pretty GUIs, and I do believe they make things sound better.

Oh I'm on the twelve step program as far as pretty GUIs is concerned.  I'm a true sucker for em as well.

Have either of you done a head-to-head comparison with the free one from vacuumsound? I wasn't impressed with that one and long ago deleted it, although I never tried it on anything other than vocals.
 
How about Waves Doubler? Yeh, I know, Doubler doesn't have a random LFO option. I'm just not sure that makes much difference. So far Doubler has been pretty useless to me, but I keep trying to find an application for it.
 
I would normally have blown ADT off as another useless gimmick, except for the mention in the Wikipedia article about ADT being used on the Hammond in Let it Be. That's such a great effect. I can get pretty close to it using conventional chorus plugins, but have never really nailed it.

Hi Bit,
I never tried the free one. I do have Waves doubler and to be honest, it confused me when I went to use it on a project and I never dug deeper into it. I may have overlooked a perfectly good solution, but I tried the demo of Microshift and was hooked. I heard it referenced in a mixing video on You Tube and I REALLY wish I still had that link. The engineer was talking about using that and bx_Saturator for metal guitars and I bought that too (and it is really awesome).
 
I seem to have an affinity for these Waves Abby Roads plugins and when I read the ADT stuff and saw the pretty GUI I just had to try it. A few minutes playing with a vocal and I was sold. I haven't even tried the manual settings - just used the presets and was blown away (and things MOVE in it, you know it sounds better when there are animations of physical objects, like tape reels and such :)).
 
So, perhaps not the soundest decision to skip the Doubler even though I have it or not look at the free one (too damn ugly, I am shallow), but I really do like the Microshift and the ADT a lot. They make me all warm and gooey inside. :)

ADT has been useful on many instrument, vocal and even percussion tracks for many engineers and producers during the "tape era"...and even into the digital age by old schoolers. It's not just a vocal double tracker by any means...but it can handle that quite well. If this plug can match the actual analogue effects it should be winner.


At least I hope so...I just ordered it.
