I love this series! It's amazing how even after using the said plugin for months and years, there is always something in your videos which makes me go like. "whaaattttt?" Thank you for your videos! :)

[@ManchesterMusic]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Cefshah]

Jeff ... thank you for covering this!! (I got this plugin 5-6 years ago, and never explored it.) 👍🙂

[@ManchesterMusic]

Glad to help!

[@guglielmonigro]

I just bought this plugin with a big discount, and your tutorial is perfect, as usual. Thank you again for sharing.

[@ManchesterMusic]

Very kind of you to stop by and say so. Cheers man.

[@Arthur_My_Dear]

Would like to have seen this video back in November 😊

[@hyperactivists9390]

Good tutorial man. What’s surprising is that these are SUPERB versions of the enclosed effects. they have “that” sound, They really got it right. Im interested downloaded the demo. Yeah i tried rearranging the modules first thing lol

[@ManchesterMusic]

Thanks dude. Completely agree. They sound very very solid on their one.

[@johnghadimi]

SPACE reminds me of how Eventide Blackhole sounds.. very cool.

QUESTION: In the Master Section, there's IN, OUT, and the EQ. In the Video you describe the EQ section as "letting frequencies in", but the GUI looks as if the EQ is a part of the Output section. (See the break between IN and EQ, and the lack of a break between EQ and OUT?) So are we Sure that the EQ comes before rather than after the processing? The video AND the Manual fail to explain. Signal flow and processing order, imho, are pretty important, always but especially in any non-linear processing. Another thing not explained in the Video or in the Manual is that by holding CMD you can adjust the IN and OUT GAIN knobs in an inverse link. This is DRIVE. Driving signal levels through Non-Linear stages is a big part of the game, at least as important the Wet/Dry balance afterwards, again IN MY OPINION. This leads back to the question: Is the EQ pre or post processing? If it is Post, as it appears by looking at the GUI, then the EQ is probably linear and just shaping what comes out of the processing. Extremely useful, but pretty basic. If the EQ is Pre-Processing, as is implied in this Video, then this simple EQ section can dramatically shape What the non-linear processing is actually doing, much like the Input Gain knob driving the whole signal into the non-linearity, except allowing you to Drive or Relax specific frequencies and how the processor react to them, usually allowing you to get Much More useful effect out of any non-linear processor. Whichever one it is, you can always Lead or Follow RC-20 with another EQ, potentially even with another instance of RC-20, with all of its processing turned Off other than the EQ.

Instant tame impala!

[@ManchesterMusic]

Everyday…

[@vcodev108]

Please make video on Lifeline Expanse and console, I heard they are better than RC-20.

[@mSarimaa]

The preset at least have a pretty hefty volumeboost though.

Does Logic have anything that can do most of this?

[@ConnorTostevin1]

Yes... BUT you would have to load up multiple plugins, There is also Phat FX and Step sequencer in LOGIC that can do multiple things at once, but it's just handy to have a plugin that does all this without loading too many plugins!

[@ManchesterMusic]

Indeed

[@AashishJhaMusic]

Sir I like to watch your Video in 4k

[@ManchesterMusic]

It’s available in 4K…

[@AashishJhaMusic]

@@ManchesterMusic yes sir

[@ManchesterMusic]

..ok

[@chuckwagon5518]

I already have about 50 distortion plugins that all claim to be the best. That's about 45 too many!

[@user-vd3if4wq6m]

Wobble sounds absolutely horrible! seriously. At least over anything that has a melody. Its triggering my annoyance center in my brain. I would put that on very sparingly

[@PendelSteven]

So it's not a delay. Disappointing.

[@YoungNino2017]

Do people really fall for this???? It all sounds HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!
