Focusrite has changed their pricing/selling strategy inbetween the recording and publishing of this video, there is also a one time payment option available now…
I’m sure it’s not the first. But the “fruity limiter” had this take on compression/limiting. It actually helped me understand compression so much back in the day (pulling down/cutting into the waveform)
Yeah, it looks like they've just made a simple implementation of the algorithms running inside of a person's head working with the normal versions of these tools. The result is essentially a fast-track to creating and tuning these algorithms in your own head as a person new to mixing (...i.e. learning).
Goddamn this is pretty much what I wished for. If they make more plugins like reverb, saturation, delay, mastering and they keep it as simple as that, I think I've found my go-to plugins for quick (and probably final) mixing and mastering. I'll still be using other plugins, but these ones will be my main weapons.
U didnt dig the compressor properly. The way it shows attack/release changes in the visual graph and gain visuals is absolutely out of this world. Best interface
AI doesn't have to be smarter than you to be of use. For example, if you hire an assistant to help prepare mixes to help you speed up your workflow/results (and hopefully get better results along the way because you're focusing on the mix now more than the 'tech stuff' around the mix) one would say that the assistant isn't useless, even though they aren't the mix artist that you are. Same thing for AI. If it can help reduce extra clicks, extraneous thoughts, distractions and help you focus more on the "Art of the Mix", then it doesn't have to be smarter or better than you to be of use.
Great review, thank you. About 8% of all males have a red-green color blindness (like me) and it's quite annoying that manufacturers especially looooove these colours for spectograms and all kinds of color coded presentations. For 8% of us it all looks the same, so the Reveal plugin loses about 8% customers just because they didn't add color customization to it 🤷♂️
I feel ripped off if my plugin doesn't have stains, dust, cigarette burns and rusty fasteners. Also I think they need to add crackly pots for extra realism. I want to believe I'm actually operating a piece of real vintage gear. They also should release a line of air fresheners that smell of toasty phenolic board and overheating resistors for that true vintage electronics experience.
Gain compensation on something that changes dynamics is an odd idea to me. They have to pick a method like LUFS or peaks to make it work, which is not really accurate to give you the "same" level. We're are mix engineers, we can set the volume ourselves.
@@petefaders its a good point, I have a different view of understanding, I like to control using only faders, because they control dynamic range not loudness
@@petefaders I agree and disagree. I agree, what even is the "same" volume before and after compression? You would have to first decide what measurement you are using, and that's arbitrary, and volume is subjective to begin with. I disagree that it isn't useful if they can actually design an algorithm that works well, which I'm doubtful about, because the whole idea is to prevent the user being mislead by their own senses, that perceive louder as better, a classic problem in audio engineering. The problem now of course is you are relying on an algorithm to decide what a comparative volume even is, and then making mixing decisions under the assumption that you don't have to worry about "louder is better l" bias. Meanwhile the algorithm may be leading you astray and lulling you into a false sense if security, rather than you being vigilant and checking to make sure you aren't allowing more volume to lead you to believe a particular decision actually sounds better.
@@petefaders Also peaks is a good one, of for example you are using a limiter to get the absolute maximum loudness out of the available headroom. It would be a nice feature in certain circumstances to have a limiter that will simply not allow the output to exceed a certain threshold. But who knows how this plugin works.
I think Sonible is possibly the most underestimated company making plugins right now. I use Smart Comp and EQ every project. Engineers won’t be out of a job though. Even with tools that make things this simple, it’s still a mountain of minutiae to sort through and countless creative decisions to be made in making a song sound it’s best. There’s no “one way” to do any of it, so the computers are always going to make helpful suggestions that save time but I don’t think they’ll ever be able to mix a song to its fullest potential. That takes taste and artistic sensibility which is something you can’t program
what an amazing review. I just made a test with my mixes and bounced masters with ozone izotope, smartlimiter, TR5 stealth limiter and FF's Pro L2 and the best sounding version was actually Focursite FAST. Also... the interface is just visually appealing. Makes it so easy to understand compression and limiting. I'll check out the compressor as well
You won't be out of a job, you still got something what a normal non-engineeruser doesn't have: knowledge and vision like knowing more boom can be created in giving more room in the mix... great videos, keep on going
this was my favorite video of all time, this plugin changes visual plugin UI in mu opinion. Using a WAV form as the display for compression is next level
My mix sounded good, and when I put the eq on my master bus, the whole mix just seemed to open up and there was more separation in all my instruments and everything just jellied together. I can't imagine not using it now! Good suite.
That subscription is not a subscription per se. It's a bit like a pay as you go. 15 monthly payments and the plugin is yours forever afterwards. You pay in those 15 installments the same amount as you'd have paid by purchasing it in one go. Dunno what's so hard to understand about it for some. There's also a one time payment option available now.
Engineers, especially those who understand mastering, should have the experience in knowing how mixes will translate across systems and settings. Sure you as a musician can “add more boom”, but you as an engineer knows how much to add that doesn’t kill speakers =]
I'm a bit of a mixing novice, but I really dig your videos. Watched this video awhile back, and it so happens that Focusrite has this really killer deal if you are part of its Plugin Collective...70 percent off one-time price or subscription (pay in 15 installments, it's yours). Deal is on until 1/31/2023. Got the bundle tonight; looks impressive and can be a time saver, especially with it being so visual and using AI. Can't wait. Thanks again for this!
I actually share your excitement for this. I have the Sonible "three", but I think this actually still brings a lot to the table. Thanks for checking it out.
The Reveal plugin´s idea is to sidechain some frecuencies from one track and "reveal" them if they are overlapping with other instrument, i.e. voice and guitar.
The reveal is great for bass ducking out of the kicks way because you can only duck the kick frequencies in the bass and leave everything else alone. You do it fast too no busing
Making the results of the effects you're adjusting visible is really a great development. Including the AI learning functionality. Where it analyses the audio and gives suggestions.
This looks really interesting, tho I found something weird in their Terms for Subscription (rent to own) - "4.3 Changes to the Monthly Subscription Payment. We may change the price of the Monthly Subscription Payment from time to time. If we do, we will communicate any of these changes to you by giving you at least 30 days’ notice prior to any increase in the Monthly Subscription Payment being made effective, to give you the opportunity to cancel if you do not accept the price change." I don't understand why would they do that, after all if I would pay it whole they wouldn't contact me after 3 years saying "Hey! See, you bought our plugin 3 years ago and was this price, but now it's more expensive. To keep using it, you'll have to pay the difference.", will they? 😅
@@Iulian.I Lol, I thought it was a bundle so that you would subscribe to all plugins of "the collective". But you are right. You have to subscribe individually, which is completely stupid. Nobody subscribes to one compressor.
I saw "one-knob" and thought "another quick mix tool that can't beat taking the time" then the compressor I was instantly "oh, it's a real one-knob"... good one for the tool box
Wow this is just what I want when I’m making music, some quick set it and forget it stuff that does what I want, and if I want to tweak some stuff later on, it can… very surprised how well they work.
I noticed the CPU usage of one FAST plugin is high, like 30% CPU. I could load 6 random 3th party plugins and stay around 13% CPU usage. (tested this multiple times and I have around 600 3th party plugins). Tested with the DAWS Reaper, Mixcraft and Mulab, all same result. I asked support and they say it's because the FAST plugins use AI. But I think AI is used only during the analyse phase, not during performance. I understand the FAST limiter has a function to reduce resonance and indeed needs more CPU, but when I turn this off the CPU usage is the same. Also when I disable the plugins, there is still CPU usage. Some plugins stop using the CPU when there is no activity. So I think there is an issue here. I have a Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @ 3.20GHz 3.20 GHz, 16 Ghz ram, Graphics card 1080 TI.
The compressor plugin looks quite good and intuitively designed. I would however invert the red/white colours though. I wonder how well the windows version would work considering Focusrites not so good reputation on the stability of their ASIO drivers. I read a lot of horror stories about them not beeing able to code a good stable driver. That’s why I choose a Steinberg interface over a Focusrite. But I guess coding a plugin is less difficult then developing stable drivers.
From a lover of both I still have my scarlett 2i4 2nd gen focusrite before the air button 3rd gen, and it's always been fine and stable drivers etc, but many people have many problems and usually it's a system setting most times or the correct route needed etc, and to be honest i prefer the 2nd gen specs to the newer ones..
My Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 had HORRIBLE driver issues. I switched to NI Komplete Audio and have never had a problem. I've been apprehensive of Focusrite ever since, although these plugins do look interesting.
I just bought these so U scared me with the snake oil but I figured sonnible & focusrite how can U go wrong but thnzx I value your opinion glad I made good choice xoxo
Really it doesn't need it. You can throw it on the master bus or use it on each instrument but it still allows you to play around with each phrase. I use it on each instrument but I still eq instruments first and use all the plug-ins I would normally use. I have had this for months it is really good. £5 per month then it is yours after you paid it off.
Gain compensation on something that changes dynamics is an odd idea to me. They have to pick a method like LUFS or peaks to make it work, which is not really accurate to give you the "same" level. We're are mix engineers, we can set the volume ourselves.
It is fair to compare the AI to yourself because during the training stage of machine learning it is asked to make decisions that are then evaluated by humans.
I don’t really get the hate for the rent to own thing. It creates possibilities where more people are being able to use expensive “gear” which I think is a good thing.
Thanks for this review! I can't understand how FAST is any different than similar bundles from Waves or Izotope? What's the advantage of having these tools all from 1 vendor? Unified UI or something more? Perhaps I'm bombarded with advertising and susceptible to wild claims, but it seems Neutron, Ozone and AudioLens from Izotope might be leading the technology ..... no?
The compressor looks like what Smart Comp does... I agree Reveal isn't straightforward in its benefit and the lack of "buy" option rules it out for me.
Yep, I'd rather pay £100 up front than be tied into a year+ long contract, even if it's slightly cheaper, it's entirely psychological, but enough to rule it out.
The real sculpting is in the engineers skill. It is their signature that breathes life into the music not linear algorithms. A true artist will want a true engineer to complete their masterpiece, not zeros and ones.
Looks amazing, but the subscription scheme kills it for me, I've be happy to pay £100 upfront rather than be tied into (another !!) monthly outgoing even if it's slightly cheaper . . . if I could buy this today I would have, but because I can't I'm really happy with Sonible/Gullfoss/BabyAudio.
Subscription (NOPE on principle) or more than €300 for the three, as no bundle offer now. Not value for money for me. I think they have priced themselves out here. I expect the price to drop. 🧡
Now that Focusrite is offering this plugin as a normal purchase, I was gonna instabuy the EQ, but... No Apple Silicon support! Come on! Cool video though.
Hey man. Personally I don't think that FAST compressor is very revolutionary. Ableton's stock compressor has the exact same visual reference and automatic make-up gain - maybe I'm missing something? The EQ is pretty cool, but I fear people may end up mixing with their EYES and not their EARS. Cool video.
Focusrite has changed their pricing/selling strategy inbetween the recording and publishing of this video, there is also a one time payment option available now…
I think the reveal is cool - for me sidechaining etc is vey time consuming
@@jasonvotaw5966 Trackspacer can be nice for sidechaining. (they do sales don't get it fullprice :P)
@@jasonvotaw5966 You still have to setup your sidechain source though...few clicks 🧡
I feel like this is exactly what I was looking for as a producer that doesn't quite understand the engineering side of things ✊🏽💯
Love your output big W, just wondering if you would review the blackbox2 MS sometime please, would appreciate your thoughts
I’m sure it’s not the first. But the “fruity limiter” had this take on compression/limiting. It actually helped me understand compression so much back in the day (pulling down/cutting into the waveform)
I was the same, I used fruity limiter to help understand compression
Same here, also learned how compression works with fruity limiter. Actually am using this up to this date. Visuals really help me out
I'm no historian, but I believe Klevgränd's KORVPRESSOR should be credited for that 'waveform squeeze' control to map compression amount. :)
And the Korvpressor's UI design is far cleaner and logical as well.
I was just about to mention the very same Korvpressor in my comments until I saw yours. So it would be interesting to see them reviewed side by side 🤔
Dmg compassion as well
Korvpressor is just amazing.
Was about to comment this too.
I see an update in Fabfilter’s future 😅 Very interesting offerings from Focusrite.
I see this as the ultimate learning tool to understand how mix goes.
Yeah, it looks like they've just made a simple implementation of the algorithms running inside of a person's head working with the normal versions of these tools.

they are going to compete with izotope if they keep this up.
If your mixing is that good you won't need any mastering at all. Mastering is just a frame for your image. :D
They have pretty much everything you need now!
@@ConsciousRobot No Delay, Saturation, or Toneshaper. Hope they follow.
U didnt dig the compressor properly. The way it shows attack/release changes in the visual graph and gain visuals is absolutely out of this world. Best interface
The Interface is Genius. I want this one just for the interface.

I Think those Focusrite plugs (ALL) are the best thing that happened on my life !

Looks amazing, but the subscription scheme kills it for me, I've be happy to pay £100 upfront rather than be tied into (another !!) monthly outgoing even if it's slightly cheaper . . . if I could buy this today I would have, but because I can't I'm really happy with Sonible/Gullfoss/BabyAudio.
What 's the difference with sonible smart eq/compressor?
Wytze, it’s great in terms of functionality and how it looks & all, but is it ‘sounding’ good in your professional opinion? 😊
now available to buy outright - due to your comments??
Cool :)
Cool plugins but I would like live versions. Just like the Sonible plugins, these need to "learn" your content instead of continuously adjusting.
Actually they are pretty decent. They do the job with visual feedback.
Subscription (NOPE on principle) or more than €300 for the three, as no bundle offer now. Not value for money for me. I think they have priced themselves out here. I expect the price to drop. 🧡
Wouldn't really consider it a subscription model when there is an end date, and you own it afterwards.
@@tb80038 i didnt read that far. Just saw per month and stopped!
Now that Focusrite is offering this plugin as a normal purchase, I was gonna instabuy the EQ, but... No Apple Silicon support! Come on! Cool video though.
Phaha!! I say my clients always: ''I can make your bass make BOOM!'' Now the can do it by them selves.. xD
Yeah, i could dream you review Magix music cleaning lab, its realy great but you wont be taken serious because its to childisch and simple.
Hey man. Personally I don't think that FAST compressor is very revolutionary. Ableton's stock compressor has the exact same visual reference and automatic make-up gain - maybe I'm missing something? The EQ is pretty cool, but I fear people may end up mixing with their EYES and not their EARS. Cool video.
Hey man
And what about those that dont like using Ableton?
Why does the compressor not have a sidechain, or am I missing something? I downloaded the demo and like it, but I cant select a SC on the comp.
