I love that on the product page, Dan's blob is the only one which doesn't have any credentials listed. Everyone else on there is like "Mastering Engineer" with a bunch of AAA artists and Dan's testimonial blurb just says "Dan Worrall". Acceptable, imo.
the fact that you've said it is a kind of promotional video makes a huge difference in honesty and respect between you and pensado for example, who says a tutarial word in every video with a big smile on his face, but non of them are
It is actually required by law (FTC) to disclose sponsorship when you publish content on UA-cam. Since the site is based on US soil, this law applies to everyone using it, and thus, what Dan did is absolutely needed, not just respectful.
Actually, this promotional video felt even better than the other ones. Lots of integrity from your part and from the developers. Congrats on such genuine collaboration.
This is how a sponsored video on a product should have been made. Pros and Cons according to the content creator. I am going to buy the plugin as its got really nice features.
This plugin is the single most useful thing I've ever bought for music. The thing I always struggled with was making a mix loud and keeping the clarity of tone I wanted, without clipping in my DAW. Is this inexperience? Yes. But this solves my problem completely and I'm all for that.
It's refreshing to see honest reviews. I understand that today, more than ever, artists and musicians are struggling to achieve financial freedom and that commercial partnerships and sponsorships are a crucial source of income for some, but ultimately it's bad for the consumer when the people involved are incentivized to not say anything negative or speak their mind honestly. Personally, I rarely reference sponsored content when evaluating a product because I don't feel like i'm getting the complete story. I'm more likely to just read user reviews on forums. Hopefully more companies will see that allowing honest reviews of their products will ultimately lead to more consumer trust and more profits. As always, thanks Dan for the wonderful content. I look forward to the next one!
No issues with anyone trying to make an honest living; the keyword being honest. You are just that! One of the main reasons why I respect what you say so much.
By all means accept more of these sponsored reviews. It's a great way to introduce new products to people, who would not otherwise find them, while also showing some potential uses for the said product! Cheers!
Not at all offended! I actually really enjoyed this walkthrough and liked that the developer still gave you complete free creative control about what you were to say. 👍 I just hope it doesn’t *delay* a certain introduction video too much. 😉
Just a thought: look into elevate. I got it in a sale bundle deal (I just wanted the transient shaper punctuate), and I'm very impressed. I've been using a couple others, including TDR limiter 6, which I have liked very much. But now I think, for the time being, I might use the two in series.... What I notice is that elevate preserves high end transients better (even after a clipping stage; I use standardclip because of the high-degree oversampling and linear-phase filters). Boost seems to also preserve transients very well....
I'd also suggest checking out the FabFilter limiter if you haven't already. Well, I'd also suggesting checking out everything FabFilter makes if you haven't already. ;)
Dan, PLEASE consider re-uploading your ALCHEMY tutorial videos!!! So cool to see you using it in this video. I'm still using the old synth to this day and would love to revisit what you taught in those tutorials.
Your channel at its best, offers no-nonsense, myth-busting explanations of audio engineering concepts. You seem like a creator with integrity; I hope you'll treat your sponsored products as educational opportunities, and let your sponsors beware that they had better have a quality product on offer if they want you to review it.
Fantastic video - Really love the attention to detail (as always)... I think sponsored videos are great, your style and honesty make for fantastic walk throughs, so many videos miss the point - Yours are always spot on, I'd like to see more sponsored content! Have been using Boost for a while now (Dave is an amazing developer) - You summed it up perfectly!!
It is a great plugin. Love the last sentence before "thanks for watching", "Negative comments and dislikes help boost the video, so don't hold back" 🤣😂
Great work again Dan. I enjoy watching your tutorials and this being sponsored is not at all off-putting, as you’ve retained creative control. This is a balanced and thorough review, with negatives pointed out. Love the style too!
I REALLY like the sound of this. Despite a folder full of big $ limiters, I think this has a place in my immediate future. Going to research it. Thanks, Dan.
I personally don't know anything about audio engineering, but your explanations both give me an idea of what is happening and what to listen for. I wonder if you consider the less knowledgable viewers, but regardless of that, well done!
I'm quite taken back by this plugin. Gives that radio broadcast feel. could be useful! Thanks for bringing this to my attention and kudos to the developer for the plugin and the smarts for giving you a free rein.
Whatever they're paying you, it's money well spent. Nobody else could have made me look at a product like this. I won't be buying it but still, you did make me look.
Where has this been all my life?! If I wasn't a total bundle owner and bought Pro-L separately, I would probably sell it on. This is a fraction of the price, more versatile and much more streamlined, encouraging experimentation with a nice wide sweet spot.
^dear Dan, thank u for your existent. as i see, not many engineers know you .. but everyone who knows u ... is thankful that u exist. want to thank u!!!
Happy you have sponsored videos that means another way of income so well deserved by the quality and the knowledge you share, thanks and keep the videos comming !!
Definitely take more sponsored gigs! Still great to hear your perspective. Make that money. Also, Boost is great. Been using it for about a year now. Definitely my new favorite limiter.
This concept is incredibly useful - I am surprised more limiters don't take advantage of a similar concept to the Focus tool here. This + a clipper is clearly all you need for super loud, transparent masters.
transparency is essential when it comes to evaluating the myriad of plug-ins out there. It's all to easy for me to be sucked into the marketing of a product's amazing qualities that will help make my music 'better.' Clear and informed perspectives will always help me in deciding something is really going to benefit me over the 'other' purchases I've already made. From this critique, I hope the mid/side issue is attended to soon. :-)
Hey Dan, do you remember the Sony Inflator? did you ever get word of how that plug worked? Always used to impress me, well the party trick of increasing full scale white noise did anyway.
I'm not even honestly sure 'sponsored' is the best term here because as far as I can see it's a very healthy relationship whereas sponsorship can sometimes seem questionable credibility-wise. You say you have 100% creative freedom, your bona fides and insight are rock-solid so it's in the dev's and ultimately the user's best interest to get a quality product into your hands and take any insight that can effectively be integrated to heart. That plus Dan getting paid? 3-way win if you ask me.
Just keep up doing videos like this, but i'm afraid some plug-in will be out of the market because of your feedback :))) whoever sposored you to make video about their plug-in are really brave guys
Let's all pause for a moment and consider Devious Machine's website quote from this video. The attribution? blah blah stuffed full of creative blah blah "THE Dan Worrall." I swear I'm beginning to feel sorry for the little people in Independent Dan's life right now. He's now got Definite Articles in front of his name. This is L. Ron Hubbard level deification happening right in front of our eyes. We couldn't be prouder, mate. Keep it up.
Yeah I would rather a promo video like this that isn’t afraid to point out the flaws. I would guess this will still work out really well from the Dev anyway - hell, I’m going to grab it right now. Haha.
“Negative comments and dislikes help to boost the video.” You know Dan is a genius when he can not only make you completely rethink how you use your Audio algorithms, but the damn UA-cam algorithm at the same time. Like creating an Emphasis/De-emphasis encoder/decoder matrix around UAD plug-Ins that lack any side-chaining capabilities, active solicitation of the Thumbs Down is some Jedi master level shit! I’m buying Boost only BECAUSE they’re paying you for this video. And message to anyone else that wants to pay Mr. Worrall to spread life altering audio wisdom into the vastness of the World Wide Web: like an A-List Actor, many of us will buy opening weekend tickets to ANYTHING Dan is in, without even knowing what your movie’s about. Even during a pandemic. You already KNOW it’s gonna be good, because Dan Worrall is staring, and EVERY Dan Worrall movie is an instant classic. So pay up!
Thanks for an informative, honest review and tutorial. I like the product but get the most benefit from hearing your discussion about it.Thanks, Dan Worrall.
Great video; I've been waiting for a good review of this limiter. It looks and sounds impressive. Dan, could you compare this one to elevate? I recently got elevate on sale, and I'm pretty impressed by how it handles transients even with not much tweaking. Also, to me, it's looks like the big knob in the middle is just setting the ceiling for a clipper, and focus is just the softness of the clipping....
Can anyone explain what 'Program Dependent' means? (13m11s in the video) I've heard it come up in Dan's videos a few times but never really understood it. Thanks :-D
Good question. Simple answer: it means the compressor's behaviour changes depending on the signal being processed. In practice that can mean absolutely anything. But a common approach is to use faster settings to handle short transients, and slower for more long term dynamic changes.
@@DanWorrall fantastic, thank you - now I know what I'm looking for I have a whole new technical concept to start exploring. Time for a bit of googling! Really appreciate your videos as always. I know others have said it, but if you ever feel like putting together a mixing course I'd be very interested.
It seems that this limiter plugin has some RMS compression built in to the algorithm, for example Izotope's Maximizer has something very similar in their IRC III and IV modes where there is some kind of spectral shaping tool that helps the limiter to perform better, and I think this is the case here, the clear difference is the harmonic response between this tool and a typical limiter and this re-enforces this idea of something happening in the background to compensate for any "unwanted artifacts", for me I prefer a workflow of doing little bits in different parts of the signal chain, for example, a compressor doing gentle reduction in one part, a dynamic EQ before the limiter and the final limiting stage, I think you get more accurate results than let one plugin do all that for you, I think this plugin would benefit someone in post-production, not in a master bus.
This update is looking really good. Maybe this plug-in is not just another maximizer. Btw, have you had the chance to try FirComp and FirComp 2 from Jon V Audio? I've had it since release day and I'm still amazed every time I open it how he pulled off the same-sample attack time without any look-ahead whatsoever. I've only tested it with a Dirac impulse (except for using it in projects) but maybe you could analyze it a bit further?

Umm.....you're paid for the Fabfilter vids that are amazing. I would say with this non scripted format, we are lucky to hear the pros and cons. Keep up the good work Dan
Do you like the sound of this limiter? (It's very different to Pro-L2) Will you use the extra features that aren't in the Fabfilter plugin? I can't answer those questions for you, give it a try.
I like the plugin, I think it looks cool and sounds very nice, but I would like to know how different is this from using a leveler? Can a leveler be used in mastering?
Interesting. I wouldn't associate "attack" with a limiter since it could produce overs, but perhaps the lookahead aspect of this is what makes the difference here?
A brick wall limiter, by its nature, can't increase peak levels of transients like some compressors can. But the manner in which they're controlled, and what happens immediately afterwards, can definitely change the way you perceive them.
@@DanWorrall Thanks for the response. So even if you turn up the input of this plugin and leave the attack at 40ms there is no chance of a transient peaking through in the 40 ms window?
I am offended that you did not mention the discount code in your video :P More seriously though, if you choose to let a company use your channel and voice as a commercial outlet, even if you don't have full creative freedom, it is completely fine. What's important is that you make it clear that the video is or includes a paid sponsorship. Some channels, like LTT for instance, chooses to reserve certain keywords like "review" to indicate that the video is entirely independent. This helps your viewers steer toward the content they care about and it helps you continue to make the videos you want.
Great review,. I tried the old Version a few Months ago and noticed some weird artefacts in a reverb tail at the end of my song. Sounded like some kind of gate with bitcrush. Therefore i didn`t bother to use it anymore. Did you notice a similar thing with the new version ?
I love that on the product page, Dan's blob is the only one which doesn't have any credentials listed. Everyone else on there is like "Mastering Engineer" with a bunch of AAA artists and Dan's testimonial blurb just says "Dan Worrall". Acceptable, imo.

Ive been using the waves L1 for almost a decade, and have been looking for a more flexible limiter. This is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Great review. Sounds very convincing. Think I'm gonna buy this when it's going to be on sale one day.
So should we comment and "downvote" the video for even more views? Love your video, Dan. Always informative. Always entertaining. Always.
