    Brilliant marketing to the less technically savvy people who just want to "Phatten", "Wetten (moisten?", "Louden" their sound without having to think past a single knob to achieve the desired results. This way, they don't have to learn about things like EQ, or Reverb, or Compression etc... KISS method marketing...

    I personally have no prejudice against simple solutions if they sound good.  On some tracks I carve out my own EQ and tinker with the compression, etc.  On some tracks, I use EZMix presets.  For example, there are some bass, vocal, and master bus presets that have become part of my standard sound.  Also, Sonar's built-in preset Hi-Hat Helper FX chain is not bad if your hi-hat is too mushy.
     
    I was toying with buying one of the One Knob things and giving it a try, but I am not sure it fills a gap right now for me.  I bought EZ Mix specifically because I needed some quick and easy master bus presets to knock out demos.  Along the way, I discovered it had a few other things I liked.  The people who design these presets do audio engineering or sound design all day long and mostly know what they're doing.

    I am a songwriter who also engineers some, so that is where I am coming from.
