There plugs are ok. I have them all installed (before the recent update) and I honestly can say I don;t use them that much any more (given all the others I have).

Not bleh, but kinda meh.

I've been playing around with the Transcontrol plugin, hoping perhaps I just hadn't yet found the right application for it. My conclusion: I was being overly charitable in describing it as "unimpressive". Free or not, it's gonna be uninstalled.

Here's a sample. First, note how the waveform changes when Transcontrol is enabled:


Transients are gone - just what you'd expect IF you turned the Attack control to the left. But the Attack knob was in its default neutral position. Only the Release knob was turned up. 

OK, so it's a transient killer. That could still have some usefulness. But now listen to what the above clip sounds like. The first 6 seconds is with Transcontrol bypassed, the remainder is with it enabled. But you'd be able to tell even if I hadn't told you where it kicks in, because it sounds nasty.

WOW...that's pretty bad....distorted too....ummm....that would be a pass on that for sure...

That just makes me even happier that I picked what I picked....at least it will be useful...

LOL, I know it is not funny but thanks for posting that, bitflipper.
I was going to get it too. Who could refuse a free clone SPL transient designer?
I guess you get what you pay for, LOL.
I'm going to try the LS Rotator Leslie simulator or maybe the Sub Bass Harmonix Expander.

The reverb and echo are getting good reviews on kvr. Problem is, nobody really needs another reverb, do they? I should have gone for the echoplex.

I tried the Echoplex - only downloaded and installed today, but it does seem OK to me  - different (not better) to some of the others I have (my go to delays are Nomad Factory Echoes / UAD and PSP). I can see myself using this from time to time and of course it was free.
Now would I EVER pay $49 - very unlikely - would I ever pay $399 for the total bundle - never, as even if I owned it I would only ever use a few of them.
I think they need to look at their pricing model.
If the individual plug ins were say $12.5 to $15 each, then they would almost be in no brainer territory - I'm sure they would sell loads more than they do at present.

I got the echoplex too. Sounds good. It has a useful ping-pong echo mode.
I wish it had a runaway mode, the mode where you turn up the feedback control
to greater than unity gain and you get those "Maggot Brain" runaway mangled echo effects.

I picked up the monster boost. Didn't seem too bad used in moderation and did seem to add warmth and harmonics to the signal. Thanks for the heads up.
