I've been loving your videos. Thanks for your work and perspectives!

[@TheCratesMotel]

You're welcome dude. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment.

[@NeverduskX]

I could be wrong, but I think you have to hit "clear" when analyzing a new track for auto-gain. Otherwise it just adds to the previous auto-gain data, which is why I feel like later examples don't sound gain-matched. This was especially noticeable in the vocals for me - I imagine the plugin was still mostly gain-matching to the levels of the drums that you analyzed previously.
Otherwise, this was a very nice review.

[@TheCratesMotel]

Yes you are absolutely right. It was obviously a new plugin for me at the time when I reviewed it, it hadn't even been released. I discovered what you said after a week or so (obviously after I had reviewed it haha) when Mark from ADPTR told me. Thank you for watching.

[@dalekotler7538]

Great video! Thanks for the overview.

[@TheCratesMotel]

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@MustacheVerra]

Impressive! Thanks for the videos.

[@TheCratesMotel]

You’re welcome. Thank you for watching.

[@DisraeliGears]

Lovely thank you

[@TheCratesMotel]

Thanks for watching dude!

[@BFHPET]

does it get used on edm synths to?

[@TheCratesMotel]

Thank you for watching buddy. To be honest, I haven't really used it much on synths. Not leads or pads anyway. It sounds great on synth bass. You can really beef up a Minimoog bass with it using the upward and downwrad compression together. I am guessing the Transient control would be great on any hard attack lead sounds as well.

[@BFHPET]

@@TheCratesMotel i tried alot of transient shapers on synths they usally always sound horrible so i wondering when they said this is the best and you can use it on synth if it would be great

[@TheCratesMotel]

@@BFHPET As I said dude, I really haven’t used it on synths much to be honest. I should probably try it out on a few.

[@BFHPET]

@@TheCratesMotel okay. they say it have distortion free envlelope is that true

[@TheCratesMotel]

@@BFHPET I guess it is always possible to get some distortion at some point, but I have not managed it yet. It's detection algorithm is very fast, even with low end. I am yet to hear a single distort, but I wouldn't want to say 100% no distortion of course. The best thing to do is demo it, my friend.
