    Thank you for your detailed review! We’ve checked that Snapback doesn’t shift the input signal. To test it, we used two tracks with the same audio, and added Snapback to one of them. In Snapback, we chose a snapback and a transient sample, setting their volumes to -Inf, so they were processed but didn’t change the sound. We then added a polarity-flipping plugin to the track with Snapback and played both tracks together. The result on the master was -Inf, meaning the output was identical for both tracks, just with opposite polarity. Snapback introduces latency, but this is reported to the DAW and compensated by the DAW during playback.
    Is it possible that Cubase didn’t account for latency during recording, causing misalignment?
    Thanks also for your feature wishes on following the input’s panning and a wider pitch range! You’re right that panning is tricky (like if the input has a left-panned transient but a right-panned tail-where would the transient sample go?), and it would add additional latency. Still, we might look into it and find a good solution that we can add it in a future update.

      Hey, thank you for your comment! It might be that the latency compensation didn't work.. maybe because of obs, or it may be that it's set up wrong (this is my video studio, I installed Cubase here just for that). I'll pin your comment, so people would know that I was wrong. I was thinking about it earlier today, because it didn't seem logical that a trigger plugin would do that. Not in this day and age, anyway. I loved and own almost all of you plugins, and I was very surprised that this happened. I'm glad that I was wrong, and that it's just my latency.
      It would be awesome if you added those features.. Pan-follow could be a bit too much. It's just me being a dreamer. :) What I would love to see from you guys would be a drum shaper/synth, something like DC snares but with saturation/clipping and snapback included. That would be something that I would use every time I'm making my own samples. :)

      Damn! Mad respect to cableguys for respectful, detailed and professional response to some constructive criticism.
      We can all get along and be better and bigger for it people.

    Not sure how to use it but that's a unique sound at 09:20!

    I didn't have any alignment issues on rendering tracks. All good. (Reaper with Addictive Drums)

    I appreciate the finding of the flaws(especially the timing and panning one), no other UA-camr/producer has brought these up. Still really good plugin with an original idea (unlike a lot new plugins)

    Cool plug-in. Will check it out. Was doing something similar by hand sometimes. Looks handy 👍

    Great review... I should add that the 4s delay is a great idea to me, and the plugin is reasonably priced. Just buy the tool if you want to use it

    Could you say something about problematic frequencies? Is soothe a must have nowadays or are there other good options beside very good equalizing from your point of view?
    Your sound is very clean. Do you use soothe or something?

    Picked this up and had a blast producing with it alll weekend long. It’s a great tool that’s probably going to be on every drum track I rock from here forward.
    $29?? Are you really going to miss out on this great production tool when you knoW you spend more than that on coffee each week?
    Don’t do it. Lol
    Have your coffee and SnapBack too.
    😉
    Thanks for the video.

    Isn’t this basically Mr bills plugin Slap? Just aimed at the sample layering stuff, so innovative probably not but still useful I guess

      I mean you're comparing apples and oranges. It's pretty innovative, but it's a one trick pony that doesn't even do that one trick as good as it should. But it's pretty ok for it's price.

      @@ArtardiDebernuro nah theyre different, a more appropriate comparison is snapback and JMG Audio's "Mirror" which may be a better method of this technique IMO.
