Great review man! 😊

The update is amazing! One thing missing in the Instance List is the ability to group more tracks together (for example 4-8 rhythm guitars L and R etc.) to eq many tracks at the same time, change or turn on and off saturation at the same time on many instances and copy settings from one instance to many other instances (like in Console 1)

[@BetterMixes]

Those would be FANTASTIC additions! I would love to be able to EQ multiple guitars or vocals at once. Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll add that into an update at some point. I didn't realize Console 1 had those features, but it's a really clever idea!

@@BetterMixes I wrote that on the fabfilter forum - maybe they'll see it and add it in the future :D

@@huberttorzewski Fingers crossed!

Great review ! An all pass filter can be interesting in a situation where you sum a bass amp cab with a d.i bass track. While 180 degree phase rotation doesn't get you where you want, just rotate a certain frequency range with a more or less large Q size on one of the 2 tracks, so you can achieve a very pleasant and logic tone in context. (To be sure, when it's done, just rotate the phase one last time in context to check if it sounds "uglier" with the all pass, meaning without the 180 phase rotation + the all pass it will sound best).

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it. And that makes sense, I'll definitely be giving that a shot! Thanks for the tip!
