Good but not perfect

I like it on my drumbus. The Build in clipper takes care of everything. But for me I feel like the gain structure is a little weird. I almost everytime have to crank the input and max out the threshold to get it to do its work.

A whole new experience for mastering!

I had a client come into my studio this week that wanted to remove an existing bassline from a former member and replace it with a new player. They did not have the stems from the old work files so I had to completely use the original mastered recording. After cleanly removing the original base part with AI, I was able to take the old track and “remaster“ with this plug-in! Absolutely glued the performance together, and gave the old track new life! As usual, Safari delivers!

Sounds and customer support are great, big fan
