    AO is the GOAT. I stopped my Slate subscription and replaced it with AOs' complete collection and a few other excellent freebies. Haven't looked back since.

    I wasn't aware of Analog Obsession's Busterse. Looks like a powerhouse, something worth checking for sure especially for the parallel compression option. I'm using FG-RED that has very similar features (auto-release, dry/wet, etc) from Slate and I love it but it doesn't hurt to have more options. Thank you for the video. Good stuff here!

      Thanks for watching this one! It's a great one for parallel compression like you said! Try it out and let us know what you think!

    Most of the music I've enjoyed came from the analogue era, no disrespect to digital
    Time moves forward and things change for the better or worse, depending upon your perception! Instruments and voice recorded through analogue gear picked up everything and that's what I like. To each his or her own. Great channel!

      The developer is getting better and refining things more and more. He's one of the first to get on the M1 / ARM bandwagon also, which indicates how nimble and agile he can be (where are the M1 versions of the plugins from the big guys? Mostly not to be seen. It's been almost a year since apple offered the development systems....). The new version of RARE is a winner.

    Hi Dear Sage Audio, hope you're doing well initially , tnx a million for this great video,
    Sir, Can you explain what's the main difference between free and purchased plugins?
    I don't know why many times I don't use free plugins on my serious projects even if they have good qualities , and I have used just limiter no.6 on my Mastering chain before.
    Where is the problem?
    Is there a psychological problem? Or
    No their qualities are lower than purchased plugins.

    • @sageaudio
      @sageaudio  Před 3 lety +1

      Hey Kambiz! Some free plugins have phase issues and other small problems, but the majority that I've used and the ones I like to show here work just as well as paid ones. Sometimes they're limited in their functionality, but most of the time they're from smaller developers that are looking to get their name out there.
      That said, if you use free plugins in your productions a lot will be just as good as paid versions!

    Thanks for the video - curious why you'd demo the first one at 16 db gain reduction on a full track? I assume you'd be lurking around 1-4 db of gain reduction if you were to use it in mastering?

    • @sageaudio
      @sageaudio  Před 3 lety +1

      Thanks for watching Nikolaj! You're right! It makes more sense to compress in that range, but when doing these demos I like to show the plugins sound when pushed really hard.

    I dont understand the sense of sub_filter, it is just a eq for bass. Why should i use a specific eq for bass when I have better EQs??

    • @sageaudio
      @sageaudio  Před 3 lety +1

      Hey Michael! I think it's just a matter of preference for how you want to affect your bass. The main unique quality in subfilter is how it creates resonance filters, which would take some tweaking from another EQ to achieve. Thanks for watching!

    The kind of music really does not help to get an idea of how things sounds. Some music with a broader spectrum please ? All the plugins need register after installation, that is a no go for me. You forgot the best eq tools jlk. Simple 6 knobs huge results. Overall more adertising in this video than good stuff. They are not versatile at all from a mastering professional point of view
