[@user-xt8km1dh4q]

Glad to see the channel and reviews going from strength to strength

[@StudioLife101]

Cheers 👍

[@Reggi_Sample]

These lot are actually entertaining get them on tv😂

[@LuRojas]

I love the RMS compressor on tis plugin!!!! Awesome on kick drum!!!

[@Mansardian]

I just got BOZ digital labs' +10dB and the Hoser bundle, they are at sale right now. I have to say: sonically I'm deeply impressed.

[@saxmanash]

I am so glad you boys reviewed this! I was looking for a channel strip to learn all aspects of mixing in the old school organic way and then this popped into my feed. I have the XL subscription bundle so it's a win for me. Btw it's just under £20 a month for me (£19.69) a month or $25 Mega XXL is $29.99 6 free plugins with mine and 10 with mega XXL after 12 months of subscription

[@StudioLife101]

Let us know what you think 👍

[@saxmanash]

@@StudioLife101 Will do ☺️

[@richertz]

There’s enough out there now and I’ve got so many channel strips.

[@vlad_crisu]

The disappointed look on Dan's face as he hears Sean say this is excellent... WHERE ARE ALL THE SHIT PLUGINS lol

[@StudioLife101]

😂😂😂

[@Phat-Monkey]

Got lucky with PA plugins, back in Jan they had a deal going pay £399 for all new releases for a year, they listed plugins coming but it has now far exceeded that, hope they run the same deal for the new year, probably not :D

[@StudioLife101]

Awesome 👍

[@1loveMusic2003]

Amek Mastering comp is unbeatable IMO.

[@StudioLife101]

It’s very special if used right 👍

[@meetplace]

Thy subscription sire... by order of the Plugin Alliance it chargeth thee $99.99 per year,

[@KozmykJ]

Plugin Alliance - Since becoming part of Native Instruments, I haven't seen any of their New Stuff being discounted. Has their pricing model changed I wonder ? Or is it just taking longer ?

[@StudioLife101]

Good question…👍

[@marclarcher7908]

Since I still have the Forever 29 plan, that's what I paid for it (around 36€ with VAT).

[@StudioLife101]

Nice 👌

[@kshep39]

Basically any PA plugin is worth no more than $30 now, much like Waves. There are enough alternatives to solve for most problem use cases so it starts to come down to workflow and taste. And since I have little taste (haha) I can wait until these go on sale :)

[@levondarratt787]

same for softube, acoustica, uad, live, pulsar, toneproject s- NOTHING is worth more than 30, it is just a small portion of code, inserted into bigger code (your DAW). Don't kid yourself with "one is soooo much better...than the other" ...that is noob, amateur thinking of people with no hardware.

[@mastweb]

An audio demo would've been nice!

[@StudioLife101]

Appreciated....but we do reviews not demos....too many variables and way better if you download a trial and see for yourself.👍 Unless you wanna hear another already processed track or loop going through a plugin and then getting squashed by the KZbin compression...😂

[@mastweb]

@@StudioLife101 I think just a little sniplet (not necessarely a 30 minutes video) can help to enforce the reviewer's opinion. Either to show why you did like the plugin, or not. Or in what situation were you impressed by it. Etc. Plugins are so subjective and sometime the UI has a placebo effect because it is so "pretty" haha But thanks for replying! Cheers!

[@StudioLife101]

@@mastweb Trust us and all will be well....👍

[@Reggi_Sample]

400 and its not shit?! I didn't expect that and I have it on subscription. That price is crazy

[@StudioLife101]

At $400 it would be shit….but we all know it’s gonna be on sale sooner or later….

[@Harrysound]

I’m about to spend 100 on the new ssl E Channel

[@StudioLife101]

I just did…👍

[@Rhuggins]

How only 100??

[@Harrysound]

@@Rhuggins it’s 100 till 31st December 2023 if you have a UC1

[@Jordannofun]

parts aint cheap......... haha

[@johndoe-cb5ck]

I can't believe I'm going to say this but I agree with dan...it's tacky looking

[@StudioLife101]

He’s right sometimes 👍😂

[@saardean4481]

You are confusing 400 PA $ with reality :-) if you take your time and look closely you will realize it is 30 … Just kidding …..nooooot. No i am really kidding.

[@StudioLife101]

😂😂

[@dna598]

Do the Vertigo VSE-4 Gyrator (insert joke here) EQ. It's expensive (all the time). Saturating Eq. I dunno how or why, but it's just somehow massively more effective than my regular paragraphic EQ. Especially the filters. Just shapes the hi's like nothing else, and also acts like a de-esser with the saturation.

[@StudioLife101]

We’ll add it to the list 👍
