At least it seemed (to me) to be autogaining. But no oversampling is an odd place to fall flat, even Analog Obsession has oversampling and those are FREE. Anyway, there are enough "air band" tools like Luftikus or Slate Fresh Air (both of which are or have been free) out there, three digit pricetags on this is just not happening.

[@adampeters9684]

What rubs me the wrong way about the BSA plugs is they’re literally just copycats of plugins that already exist. Oxygen is probably the most egregious considering Fresh Air is free lol

[@LWmusik]

It's just a guy making chains in pro tools, and then he asks a dev to put it in a plugin. I don't really understand the process, it seems near impossible to come up with something new and interesting that way. I just learned C++ for plugin development and I mean, that's honestly an easier way to make fun plugins than just endlessly recreating things that already exist in pro tools... You gotta play around and mess with the guts of audio code to come up with fun stuff, because happy accidents never happen otherwise

[@Dane_Riazer]

Sometimes I wonder, does it really matter with all this alias talk? If someone uses this only use one on a master bus or on 6 busses, will this really matter? I wonder how many professional engineers made tracks with all these different plugins and how much alias they added over 40-160 tracks, and at the end, we love the music.... but it seems we get so caught up on the 'technical side' of things like alias. (I get caught up too) That's why I'm posing this question, does it really matter?

[@mrcoatsworth429]

That is a good question and the answer is probably no. There is this guy, Dan Worral, who seems to be somewhat of an KZbin audio community god. He's an expert with these technical questions. Then I saw he has his own music on spotify and I checked it out. I didn't think it sounded good. Maybe just not my style, but I was very underwhelmed by the mixing. So there's that.

[@mattwhite399]

@@mrcoatsworth429that’s how I feel about Chris Liepe, the vocal coach guy. Ppl all up in his comments falling all over themselves. I don’t get it.

[@LWmusik]

Aliasing is really bad if you can hear it, that's about it imo. I just made my first synth plugin, and without anti-aliasing, it sounded very distorted and weird if I played treble notes. So that's a case where it really matters - I don't wanna have a synth where you can't hear which notes you are playing. But if you don't hear anything funny and you just see something in a spectrum, honestly who cares at that point

[@slasheadlabo]

I agree for the oversampling. However, I think that saying that what the plugin does can be done with other plugins is not an argument. An engineer can use a plugin or a machine not only for the technical things that it allows to do, but also for the way it does it. For example, you often talk about the UI. There’s a lot of plugins that do the same thing but with a different UI, and sometimes is the UI that makes the difference. In the case of Oxygen, I think that the approach is way more musical and natural compared to other exciters, and I think that it’s actually a more important thing than it seems. Good video, by the way.

[@asymmetrymedia9838]

I agree that doing things other plugins can isn't necessarily an issue. But the reason Wytse shows this, is because they provlaim to be unique and also charge premium prices for it. And that's the whole issue.

[@sm5574]

Dan Worrall does that, too. "I don't see any reason for this to exist." I mean, you could say that for half the DAWs out there. The question is not why it should exist, but why you may want to buy it, and those reasons may go beyond simply what effect the plugin achieves.

[@vincentemerald2574]

[@henryijeoma]

[@ethangregorymusic]

Yep. For this plugin in particular you could probably recreate it with Parametric EQ2, Maximus, and Transient Processor. And you'd have the option for oversampling then too.

That's the whole thing, isn't it? Instead of having to use three different plugins, you can just use a single simple plugin and move on. I like the idea.

This plugin handles a few processes that I often do on Overhead tracks, but it usually involves 3 different plugins. I reach for this because its all in one.

[@Guitary007]

That's the point of these videos. Using a plugin and listening to what it does is just one part of the video. Another aspect is whether the claims and price tag attached to it are worth it. Maag eq4 from Plugin Alliance is available for 29-39$ in any sale (which happens many times every year). Slate Fresh Air is absolutely free. Any stock eq with an adjustable high shelf, along with a decent saturation plugin (Softube Saturation Knob is a free one) will give you the desired effect at a much lower price point. The point of the video is that if you understand how something is being done, you can probably save some money by doing the same thing with tools already available to you and use that money for something that is actually worth it.

[@BartWronsk]

It sounded good to me, and seems you also didn't object its sound in tests, so is the lack of oversampling truly an issue? If it sounds good, it is good IMO. Foldback can even introduce some richness and enhance presence (very highs start to be present in high mids and translate better to phones laptops etc), obviously not always. I use Decapitator all the time and it is known for its lack of oversampling - but I can tune it so it is perfect for my sounds!

[@qoiet6049]

The question though, is, why you would need something that is a high shelf eq paired with an aliasing saturator. You could use a basic eq (the shelf is not particularly complex) together with decapitator (which aliases less than this)

[@erewrw1906]

exactly- I liked the sound too.

[@erewrw1906]

i made basically the same Anwser, haha. Yes, i turn oversampling off sometimes. Cause Oversampling has Sideeffects on its own, its made from Linear Filters, and i cant stand Linear filters most of the Time. Sometimes its OK, but most times i can hear them so well. they take the calmness out of a sound, the leaned-back, woody, sound.

[@BartWronsk]

@@qoiet6049 just workflow convenience :) too pricey for that, but I use a lot of plugins like this - they are tuned (in terms of curves) to sound good, so I can quickly put them on a channel and know what to expect.

I think they are using the term “unique” loosely in the colloquial sense-as in “uncommon,” not in the literal formal sense meaning “proprietary”.

[@theAshesofDecember1]

I own a number of bsa plugins because I’m a fan or Jordan. To say that any one plugin is unique is a bit of a misnomer, and for everyone saying other plugins can do this, it’s true. The difference those guys do is package a number of tools together in one tool to create and simple, one knob solution instead of needing to stack comps and eqs together with saturation to achieve the same thing. They’re tools of convenience. And for those that say they’re priced too hard, I do agree. However, they regularly have sale prices. I don’t think I’ve paid more than $20 per plugin.

Even the question if these plugins are Apple Silicon native compatible has still not been answered. Feels like they give a shit on customers notes and support. So no BSA products for me anymore.

[@LWmusik]

They don't have in house development, so they have very little control over their own products... Not a good way to run a plugin business if you ask me.

I think he partly wanted to start this software company, so he could make plugins that would simplify his own workflow, by using just one plugin that does a few things. Agreed they are probably way too pricey for what they are, but he's been running sales on BS products pretty regularly lately, so you can snag these for way lower than retail. This is his first venture into the plugin business, so I'm sure he's going to continue to make some mistakes and adjustments along the way.

Oversampling is one of the least important aspects of mixing. Ughhh

[@Mo-bo3uv]

great video but when you analyse plugins in the doctor you should start in the harmonics tab because non-linear effects can break the linear analysis test. but yeah the plugin is a complete ripoff

[@sparella]

Do you mean ripples in the high frequencies of the plot? I've noticed that before.

@@sparella When I read your reply I thought you said "nipples" 😛

[@viktorkigyos3839]

The warmer is not low/low-midish frequencies?! 🤨 What is warmer high-end?! 😆 This plugin is horrible...

So it sounded good until you decided to run it through plugin doctor? Wow!

[@sparella]

I think the emphasis was meant to be on it being risky without oversampling. He said foldback distortion can sound good, but it depends on the source material.
