[@JT-qc2nb]

My wife is starting to get jealous of this plugin.

[@lennix_music]

lol

[@M.W.777]

Haha Nice one!!

[@JamesLogan-q7l]

I'm afraid to google this plugin to find it, definitely gonna just use the link lol

[@Burglecutter]

Love you Streaky! This channel is the best.

[@jl9205]

My sphincter tightened with excitement when I saw this. I like that you can *fudge* the controls to get the sound just how you like it.

[@Rolanoid]

Tried it out before watching this and got a great result even though I didn't know what I was doing. I thought the right hand knob was output gain but it's Punch as I now learned.

[@defectiveresistor]

That’s well tight

[@tjmackie4815]

Wish this plugin worked with my wife also 😢

[@Streaky_com]

Hahahaha

[@Mattadair76]

Lmfao 😂

[@carlres8371]

Haha yes indeed and i need a plugin that makes my ears better, would help for better mixes

[@vladimirtubic6060]

Kegel's would help maybe?

[@Wispano__]

Thanks to your videos as a 8 month producer , ive signed songs , and have also just been bombarded with "how have you only been producing for 8 months and sound better then 5-10 year producers " thank you !

[@peakingmantis5331]

All the best sounding plugins I know have parameters like these where your normally just cranking 1 or 2 knobs and already getting a great sound.

[@ES92-]

Tight Arse, That's an epic name right there 😂

[@maniakkoncoktionz]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭💀💀💀💀 I'm Dead 💯

[@kauai3302]

Actually not a gimmick plugin!! Extremely impressive and I've been using it consistently on my mix bus

[@greganikin7003]

What if i tell you - it’s possible to achieve great low end when you have proper room, speakers and production instruments + knowledge how to use it all. So it’s not that easy as one plugin, but congrats on your own plugin, Streaky. You’ve become synonym for word “mastering”. Great job you’ve done through all these years!

[@Quiet_Forge]

OK, this works. I'm producing very subby ambient jungle and this has really improved the mix, even though I thought I'd done everything I could with EQ, multiband compression and imaging. Approaching the end of the trial period so I've just bought it.

[@bLiNdEDM]

I can already do this with a few other plugins but I am going to buy it because it makes life SO much easier. WOW, I am impressed! Just running the demo now but I will be buying!

[@jimimac1340]

This plugin should be advertised in Hustler magazine. Good work!

[@Streaky_com]

Hahahahaha

[@djcolinturnbull]

Then he would have to increase the price $2.00 . It might actually be a good marketing tactic considering the name. 😅

[@emphatic001]

Does it come with a sphincter analyser?

[@tutubeos]

Thank you Streaky. I don’t know if you agree, wouldn’t be useful a Delta button as well?

[@BOODA575]

just bought last-night !! used it on a mix i had a 2 track beat for !! wasn’t disappointed !!

[@drumminmunkey231]

Sounds good . What’s the latency? Would be cool to try it in a live setting.

[@G.Faustini]

Eu testei e é muito bom. Fácil de usar. Não gostei de como funciona o iLok, eu tinha que abrir no mínimo 3x o projeto. Não sei se era só a versão de teste... Mas é um bom plugin.

[@chimerastate]

Do you place that plugin before the limiter or afterwards? I tried it out and it sounds better when putting it afterwards, but of course it then starts clipping.

ok this is IT! works like a charm on my psytrance kick + bass!! 🔥

[@Gileein]

“Tight”, “Loose”, “Tight Arse”…..Interesting labels 😂. Hearing you use these terms throughout the vid gave me a good chuckle. Great plugin overall!

[@eddyvilar]

This is PERFECTLY subtle. GREAT job on keeping it simple and effective. 🙏🏼

[@djgabrielferretti]

Hi, awesome videos. Could you help us with an issue I'm having in regards to clarity and brightness, either when mixing or mastering. How bright should the instruments or the song be in itself. When trying to reference professional songs, some songs are super clear with a lot of brightness and other songs sound way to dry and this is all over in professional recordings from top artists. My question is, so how much brightness or clarity is enough. Should we shoot for a high clarity or just a dry master. My dilemma if it is what just sounds good, then reference songs seem not be so useful at the end of the day.

[@T-BOUNCING]

You got me on this one also the other one..I dont know why people criticize your vst .. all vst have their own use and placements in mixes ... Nice work on this one ❤

[@jiehfeng]

My low end is now tightened beyond reason.

[@Streaky_com]

Hahahaha

[@justjohn9067]

Choice of words… :)

[@mace7754]

😂😂😂🤣😂

[@JT-qc2nb]

That’s a logical statement if you’re fruity

[@You-ud2fp]

Appropriately priced, thank you streaky. Color box was a miss, but this is cheaper than low control by black salt. Well done.

[@jschema1]

How well does the plug-in for drum n bass? Keep up the the amazing work with the tutorials; very insightful!💯

[@dyonissiszoes3747]

Looks like a good multi band compressor/expander under the hood. Am I right? 🙂

[@Streaky_com]

It’s a combination of a few different things I do to get the low end tight…hope you like the sound

[@dyonissiszoes3747]

@@Streaky_com I’m going to try it out and compare it with the other tools I use to tighten my low-end but it would replace 3 plugins and lots of MS fidgeting so I really hope it’s that good. 🙂👍. (If you say so and you put your name on it, it must be ✅). I’ll let you know in the comments later. Anyways, thanks a million for all these years of excellent work on KZbin and through your academy. You put out some of the best online resources for people like me who want to learn and perfect their mixing skills. 👍👍👍🙂

[@Wizardofvoz2]

Got the plugin. Do you recommend best use on individual busses, the 2 bus, or wait to mastering??

[@minstinct280]

Yo Streaky, pls do a Q&A for his cool plugin on you tube. Also where is it best to place the plugin in the chain on a drum buss, assuming you're using the usual plugins like comp, EQ, FX, etc? PS. thx for naming the plugin after my girlfriend!

[@Streaky_com]

😂 try it anywhere you have low end

[@evrytingelsewastaken]

Will be be willing to take on a challenge? Can you master a song in Reason using only stock plugins? I would love to hear your take on the quality of the DAW and it’s plugins. Please please! Thanks in advance!

[@KCOR3_Official]

Oh my.... I am working on a Latin rock song that has that clear, punchy bass line. It's a challenge to get the sound so it is and punches you in the gut. I am going to download and give this a try. Question for you: What if you send the bass & kick to a aux and put Tight Arse on that? maybe some compression? nothing like a tight ARSE

[@YesRelax]

Should I put it on the stereo bus or on kick and bass channels?

[@kinikimusic1759]

Streaky, every time I put the name in KZbin a literally get videos of Tight Arse not related to the plugin! 🙂I think this might be more in line of the spl vitalizer mk3 Bass tight and loose nob. If it's anything near that you are golden!!

[@rxgueplanet]

Can't wait for the Fat Arse expansion pack

[@gslide06]

Would enjoy hearing these plug-ins that you're plugging demoed on an indie or rock track for context sometime.

[@Streaky_com]

Ok will do next time 👍

[@frattuncbas]

What is punch button including? Only some custom eq or another processing?

[@charliebronson79]

will be buying this tonight

[@Streaky_com]

🙏 thanks for your support

[@johnymst]

I just learned how to achieve a tight good low end without any plugins just by using EQ and some saturation but I think that this plugin will make it even better! Question tho, should I put this on my Kick&Bass group or just Bass group? Thanks

[@Streaky_com]

Try it anywhere

[@mygoogle1525]

Is it ok to use it just on bass or only on the master bus?

[@paymar77]

Wasn’t expecting to like this plugin but pleasantly surprised. Hey Marty it works!😆

[@nicholaslepp1502]

STREAKY!!! This is very important to me!!! My girl LOVES your work with Depeche Mode and I’ve learned from you for YEARS before I knew you were her favorite mastering guy and she nor I even knew until I realized and told her Lol …anyhow, I’m working on something dedicated to her and I can’t find the video of you showing me how to make Ozone limit with the left and right separate!!! Please help me, sir! I need it to sound loud to an uneducated girl who has always LOVED your work! Thanks a ton in advanced if you can respond ❤️❤️❤️

[@Streaky_com]

Thx not sure where that vid is..google will be you friend for ozone

[@sergeysuokas]

How to understand that audio track is not oversaturated or overcompressed if you can't hear it exactly? When saturation is enough?

[@Rucker2014]

Used it on my mix bus... it's definitely a keeper..

[@kickmusicmikeyjones9788]

Hi. Looks like a great job, Streaky! But I've tried to obtain the 'trial' version on several occasions this week, but haven't received a link, sadly. (I've checked spam too!).

[@lowrater]

Very interesting. Gonna try this trial and compare how it stacks to ozone, fapfilter mb etc in different chains.

[@drivetime2941]

I downloaded the free plug in but can’t find it in Logic, what am I missing?

[@dnl_frnc]

bought it but it keeps crushin my DAW... can't load it.

[@96MAKBeats]

When I master my bass sounds too loud in my car if I get it right in headphones but too low when I get it right for the car. I’m guessing this might have to do with me trying to get the whole song sounding loud and perfect before I master and add compression? But I’m not sure I only been mixing for a year or so

[@braddasseymusic]

I can't WAIT for Tight Vag! For real. Lol. Love you bro. I'm just joshin'.

[@skirize]

Oi!!!!! This is the reason many of us (Me!!) use someone like you! On KZbin (and in my low budget studio) the bass difference is not massive but the space!! The Fu@#in* Space!! I will be testing this! And let me thank you for the help I have received from your channels!! Those that can afford to sign up to his extras, and need the help, this guy is the one we can trust to not BS us!

[@Streaky_com]

thanks alot not often people are kind online 🙏

[@JamesMusicPH]

Can't wait to get my hands on this one. Looks insane.

[@spurts]

Just bought this and I’m having trouble installing. Can you help, Mate?

[@tonysalpinoiii5063]

Is it putting everything below the crossover point to mono?

[@lister-music]

Is it basically the same as applying compression to your low end in Pro-MB?

[@Streaky_com]

It’s a combination of things that I do with 3 plugs

[@krishrao1]

alternative for voice of god by uad?

[@Streaky_com]

🤷‍♂️

[@irawardofficial]

Very interesting !! It took away the mud in the bass. I don't hear any db loss either. Now do you use it before mastering or after?

[@Streaky_com]

either...I use it upfront befroe an EQ but on the mix buss will work if your happy with the balance but just want it tighter

[@irawardofficial]

@@Streaky_com Sounds great ! I will definitely try it :).

[@ptah23]

i wish i knew what that magic A button does to just make everything more overpowering in the mix

[@Mike-vr7mb]

Ok! I hated your last plugin cause I felt like for the price it was just basic. Anyway I gotta be honest here, you save me multiple plugins and I like this better than Izotopes’. I love the simplicity and the effectiveness. You got one my friend!

[@Streaky_com]

That’s great feedback thanks…I’m learning too ❤️

[@kremerkmusic9439]

colourbox is an amazing tool

Hope you’re making more long-form content again :)

[@SteveWatkinsandabigolcookie]

What’s the button along the bottom in the center - the x2,4,8 is that for oversampling ?

[@Streaky_com]

Yes

[@stefancargoski5871]

I want this plugin as hardware, make it available!

[@GoldnhourMusic]

Purchased 🔥

[@oldtimer666]

Hey streaky! Would you still recommend buying sonarworks for bedroom producers? I have a little bit of acoustic panels on walls but cant do ceiling panels and bass traps so was thinking would sonarworks help in that ?

[@Burglecutter]

Just know the limitations of your reference space and keep them in mind. Check it on the headphones, too, especially for the bass imo.

[@pigknickers2975]

I would recommend Sonarworks. Have used it for years now. Never have regretted it and never make a record without it.

[@Streaky_com]

Yeah defo worth having something…when I used to use it I only had it in about 75% as I found that sound nice (just sayin)

[@TOPBOYish]

would this work well on the kick and bass buss as well and also for a bass group with different bass layers ?

[@Streaky_com]

Yes I have a video on the page showing how it works on the drum buss

[@TOPBOYish]

@@Streaky_com Hi and yeah I have watched that video, so would I just basically apply the same principle to my kick & bass group buss, so I have my kick and my bass in one group together and the idea would be to get the kick sitting nicely with my bass ? sorry if I sound confusing !

[@mystikrebel1089]

while sitting all day with sore A working on the low end, this Tight A might be the cure

[@Streaky_com]

Hope so 😂

[@djtomspolakens]

Lookin good! Ill try!

Having an issue with the trial version in logic pro, essentially "couldn't be opened" is the message within plugin manager, with an error code of 1,0xFFFFFFFF Haven't seen this with any of my other plugins, my system meets the various requirements.

How is it better than Ozone Low End Focus?

[@Streaky_com]

It’s just different…doing different stuff…try it and you’ll hear the difference

[@AJoylessEon]

i have a streaky feeling that this is very similar to the low control plugin by black salt audio... i could be wrong though?!

[@henriquedossantos6519]

The UI of the low control is terrible, not to mention the quality of the low end compression.

[@AJoylessEon]

@@henriquedossantos6519 yeah I had mixed emotions about low control.. the more I use tightarse the more I'm enjoying it. Tucks bass guitar in nice and sweet.

[@kikobites1048]

@@AJoylessEon Just my opinion guys, when using a plugin, I need to feel 2 things, it's actually like real plugin in my DAW. And the sound quality delivers what it promises to do. This has a great interface look, and the compression is spot on calculated.

[@ElectricEddieDaus]

When downloaded it comes back as an unsafe download. Unfortunately, it's not recognized by Microsoft......

[@Streaky_com]

F**k Microsoft

[@MELOPSMUSIC]

Sorry but i don t see anything new from using a compressor (a multiband for example) , did i miss something ?

[@Streaky_com]

Yes try it, you might be surprised
