[@MOMetalProductions]

Massive respect for making this update FREE! Not many companies would do this, especially in these financially hard times ❤

[@peevee605]

Huge props to Ermin.

[@riptideL]

Wow Ermin. You should release a "systematic how to treat your existing customers guide" Getting a free upgrade is bloody brilliant, thanks so much.

[@alt3rius]

Just started testing it and I'm absolutely amazed by the new hybrid mode. Until now I've used Flatline 1 running into Fabfilter L2 as my default setup for getting volume in mastering. Now, I'm really considering getting rid of that setup and just running Flatline 2 as the only maximizer. I must say, I'm enjoying all the new options, as right now, you can really shape the sound you're getting out of the maximizer. The "color" knob can change the sound of the whole recording, which is a great addition, as some of the recordings I'm working on, can benefit from less clean/surgical sound. Not gonna talk much about the "clipper" mode, as that's basically Flatline 1 in an improved GUI. But the "limiter" mode, while I would probably never use that on my mastering chain, I've already experimented a bit with it, and it's shaping up to be my go-to limiter on vocals, to catch the runaway transients created by slow/medium attack compression. Anyways, Flatline 1 was totally killer. Flatline 2 is an huge improvement over the 1st version. Kudos to the whole Submission Audio team for the amazing work

[@SystematicProductions]

Sounds like you're already working it out!

[@alt3rius]

@@SystematicProductions Been waiting for it, since you presented it with the Job for a Cowboy mastering. So, guess as soon as I got the info, that it was released, I've instantly started messing around with it, as so far loving it.

[@Gdude899]

eyes popped out of my head when you told me this was a free upgrade glad your not over valuing non physical products that we can't sell along with the fear that a digital product can be discontinued and made unavailable 10-20 years down the line unlike waves, thank you

[@at5504]

Flatline owner here. Thanks for the free update!

[@zachluntsford]

Really appreciate the extra work on this plugin, it was already awesome, now it's even better.

[@de_vega]

Really appreciate the free upgrade, seriously! Sidebar - the demo song is so damn catchy.

[@SystematicProductions]

It's 'Final Pitch' by Arch Echo. I'd definitely recommend checking them out.

[@danielharvey4345]

Love Flatline 1. Being able to access Flatline 2, which is great, for free, is amazing. Thank you

[@adamcontreras9710]

2:32 made my day

[@Paul_Medic]

Flatline 1, Double Tap and now this! Thank you mate for your hard work that makes me sound a whole lot better than I really am. 🍻

[@JayKayProductions]

Yes! Free for existing users! You are a god :)

[@j-fquevillon8134]

... I didn't know you could move like that :O All jokes aside, the new design/functionality looks sick!! Good job!

[@domdingle311]

There are two things in life that make me happy. Pizza and beer (those count as one) and Free new plugin updates! Thank you Ermin, Cowabunga! 🤘👽🍕 🍺

[@CobWebCornerstudios]

Been using flatline since day one good work 😊

[@29djandy]

Wow❤ Thank you. This is a great 👍 update.

[@90jakopo]

6:43 Love ya

[@Jorge_Sokol_Music]

Thank you bro!!! 🙂

[@gangsterdistrict1154]

But why you guys deleted the threshold line on the scope? That was such a sweet and easiest way to set the threshold level on the graph section

[@BuntySaha]

my mix just became louder but still clean at -14 lUFS

[@sickmessiah]

Clicked on the link. Added to cart. Flatline owner here. Still trying to charge me. What am I doing wrong ? I’m logged in.

[@SystematicProductions]

No need to add to cart. Simply log into your account, then go to the downloads section and grab the new installer.

[@jasonbourneishorny]

Is there a way to change the speed in which the meter responds? Only thing I’m missing from Flatline 1 is the speed of the meter.

[@assshakerstudios549]

Man I hop this plugin isn't snake oil, cause that line "If you own Flatline 1, it's completely free"., makes me wanna buy it!

[@nocrumpetspodcast8197]

Here I was thinking you were repackaging smart clip and l2 but fuck, the hybrid mode is literally insane. It’s not snake oil that you can clip and limit different signals.

[@blue_mountains28]

As V1 owner I really appreciate the free upgrade to v2. Installed it as I watched this video and had a quick play with it and so far really like it. It combining a few things for me into 1, really like the sound and work flow and look forward to incorporating this into my mixes. Nicely done

[@fabianmillerofficial]

Came for the update, stayed for the dance moves. Super stoked it's finally here🔥🔥🔥

[@thedevilsadvocate5210]

Why do es everyone use ILOK? ILOK adds clicks in the background of your audio

[@jazzampa]

They don't listen until they fold up 😊

[@yoquiva9005]

Obtuve doble tap y flatline 2 por 83 dolares la oferta perfecta que estaba esperando🙏🙏🙏gracias hermano 🎉🎉🎉

[@devotedfusionband]

Incredible video and it definitely put an interest for me to get Flatline 2! Funny enough, I saw a related video of yours on your mastering of Northlane's album, and I'm going to see them next week lol

[@Jeysunmusic]

2:31 i'll get it just for this part

[@gtrealm]

I'm defo looking at a fab filter L2 Pro limiter rip off there..hahha

[@nocrumpetspodcast8197]

Here I was thinking you were repackaging smart clip and l2 but fuck, the hybrid mode is literally insane. It’s not snake oil that you can clip and limit different signals.

[@MahmoudNader]

Fun fact : I was about to deliver the final master to a client then I saw this notification and guess what .. I've had to replace FL1 with FL2

[@anthonyrobin915]

lmfaoo bruh I was sitting here like "am I gonna upgrade?" and these Kings gave us a free upgrade 😭

[@KYTHERAOfficial]

Finally!

[@BhargavaMan]

The free upgrade gives me hope for humanity, we're gonna be ok

[@simonsaunders5098]

jesus that is the worst demo music iv ever heard

[@Mix3dbyMark]

thanks sim racing mixing engineer

[@isomatic]

Thanks a lot for the update. Flatline 1 is my most used clipper. Flatline 2 looks so dope, gonna use it extensively for sound design (and in turn do all the things you said not to do with it 😂).

[@jayhostyou]

It looks and sounds amazing ! I can’t wait to be back home and download my free copy 🎉 Thanks a ton!

[@robmorgan3392]

Thank you, for this

[@Mix3dbyMark]

I SEE YOU

[@ShreddingDragon]

2:32 We need this as a gif

[@sheko_yo_alterno9482]

👏 🙌

[@ysteinlarsen8485]

Thanks for the free copy! Flatline 2 is sick!!

[@H462-n8c]

Thanks for making this free for previous owners, dawg

[@KingStudiosCollective]

Holy shitt man this is massive !!!! Thanks for the freee update 👌🤘

[@jrfoster1980]

Plugin looks great! Kudos for making the upgrade from Flatline 1 to 2 for free. One thing I'm missing is the threshold dotted line in the clip mode (from flatline 1) which helps me to see if I'm clipping transients or going too far into the steady state signal. Any chance to add that in an later upgrade? Guess it doesn't make sense in the hybrid mode, but would like to see it come back in the clip mode. I will replace my old L1 limiter on the drum transient/mix control and use this tool in multiple modes for all my needs. Great job!

[@Crossfire2003]

#FlatlineRocks!!!

[@xxrwillzxx]

MUST BUY!!!

[@TheMightyBoogie]

Thank you! Great work!

[@bobwarren4707]

Thank you Ermin and the rest of the crew at Submission for this. I appreciate the video tutorial too!

[@alanbrucke]

I thought to myself, "The Ozone AI does a good enough job. I don't need to invest in tools like this and create a custom chain." But something inside me hungered for more. So I did a Save As... and started from scratch. Always start off with Pro-Q 3, taking care of utility moves and problem frequencies. I still used the Ozone 11 plugs, but individually, to taste, using my ears to selectively tailor the songs to their sweet spots. I added the Lindell 902 de-esser in HF mode and blended that in very subtly to fix some harsh little chirps of audio that were getting through. And then finally, Flatline 2. The mixes I got were already clipped pretty hard, so I didn't need to do a lot with it. But I put it in hybrid mode, adjusted everything carefully to the sweet spots, and bam. She's done. Night and day improvement over the AI masters. Fuller, richer, better. Never going back to the lazy way. Thanks for another amazing tool, Submission. And thank you for sharing your passion for mastering with us, Ermin. It inspired me to put the work in. I'm thankful.

[@Reggi_Sample]

You can use Ozone 11 maximizer without the AI. I’d like to see that compared to this as well as Smart Limit and Gold Clip

[@SystematicProductions]

Ozone maximizer is a tremendously impressive tool that I have a lot of respect for. I've used it since 2009. It functions on a very different principle to static-envelope maximizers.

[@TheArkhamRebellion]

I'm not even an owner of Flatline 1 and I am really impressed with that offer for those who bought it. Respect.

[@volkerheller4255]

Great Update! Hybrid sounds absolutely amazing!!! Thank You so much!!!!

[@TheRealStevenWard]

Congrats on the release! Super excited to take Flatline 2 for a spin!

[@SystematicProductions]

Thanks Steven!

[@dylanbourne4880]

I feel like ermin saw JST maximizer and said “hold my beer” Im so hype to upgrade, i didnt think it could get better than flatline. Thanks y’all!

[@joefh1985]

It’s cracking me up how much he digs the song. Amazing.

[@jurapuclin]

Absolutely love it! From the GUI to the sound!...Just one question, is there a reason why the Hybrid mode doesn't have the Safe Clip option like the regular Clip mode or Flatline 1?

[@SystematicProductions]

Absolutely. Hybrid mode doesn't need safe clip!

[@jurapuclin]

@@SystematicProductions I was just wondering because in Cubase the little tab on Stereo Out/Mix bus sometimes gets red without Safe Clip even though it never crosses 0dB. So don’t know what that means but I always used Safe Clip to prevent that.

[@SystematicProductions]

@@jurapuclin If you set the ceiling to -0.03dB, that should no longer be an issue.

[@jurapuclin]

@@SystematicProductions Thank you! One of my favorite artists manages to get absolute flat line and 0db on loudest parts so I learned to mix with celling at 0db although I know that could potentially be problematic with inter-sample peaks when later converting audio to other formats. Does safe clip even mitigate that problem?

[@jurapuclin]

the cubase mix bus doesn't go to red in Hybrid Mode if oversampling is disabled so that's good enough for me. No need for Safe Clip :) Cheers!

[@alt3rius]

You should really do the "Systematic Guide to vibing with the music while mastering it" 2:31 is pure gold

[@ResonanceRebel]

I am very thankful for the free upgrade, thank you very much.

[@insertanynameyouwant5311]

tempting to use hybrid mode, but I like to have Weiss Maximiser in the Side mode between Clipper and Limiter, so how would I do it😁

[@ampspedalspickups]

Imagine getting this update for free as a Flatline owner! Thanks again legends

[@runemidsun]

Oooooohhhh, just hit download. Looking forward to this. Thanks a lot for the free update 🤩

[@KYTHERAOfficial]

Its so nice to see how you genuinely love your product. I see it in your face. This is huge. Big love.

[@SystematicProductions]

It feels like a part of my soul is imbued into it after all the listening tests, iteration and sleepless nights.

[@KYTHERAOfficial]

@@SystematicProductions I feel that! How exactly limiting and clipping are combined is key in modern productions now I believe. This makes a lot of sense for a lot of reasons. And you dont even ask for additional money! You made it because it made sense and its relevant af for you. Authenticity pure for me ❤️

[@KYTHERAOfficial]

Having a little request thoough: Please put the horizontal threshold line back in (: it helped a lot visually @@SystematicProductions

[@TutorialesMezclaMastering]

Free update!!!! Great! Thanks

Thank you for the free upgrade :D

[@scottyknows]

This is fantastic! Thank you for making this a free update!

[@JoeCalderone]

Congrats on this! As a flatline 1 user I’m ever excited to check this out! Also sick track choice 👍

[@SystematicProductions]

Hahah. Thanks Joe

[@80s_kid]

Nice plugin, we love Flatline but the important thing is that Ermin is pumped up before recording.😁

[@SystematicProductions]

The Hybrid insert was recorded when I lost 4kg, months later. So you can literally see me shrink midway through the video.

[@PereRevert]

Sounds impressive man! by the way, what about a deep review of the Maselec plugin by Relab? Will love to see your impressions about this EQ monster.

[@SystematicProductions]

I trialed it for a week, but it didn't blow me away. Great UI and marketing though - that's all most people need!

[@Poepopdestoep]

Yes, download in progress!

[@diammondleemono8924]

YEaaaahhh Arch Echo 💃💃🎶

[@adamcontreras9710]

[@thefuse03101]

Do we just grab the trial version in order to update to 2.0?

[@glennshre]

No, sign in to your acount then go to the downloads section. Choose Flatline 2 get serial here, and it downloads the new version. It works with your old serial.
