    track god rules over all plugins.

    track god is best.

    all other plugins will be crushed beneath its bejeweled feet.

    If you want to align the scale to other plugins it's a bit annoying, yes.

    That's exactly the reason why I find very interesting the Airwindows approach.Don't focus on eyes.Sit down and have just a listen.
    Nice GUIs often mislead our discernment.Devs know it.

    Fucking disagree with this! Have you ever tried it?

    There is no such VST anywhere. Besides great tools from:
    • EQ,
    • dynamic EQ,
    • linked EQ,
    • compressor,
    • multiband compressor,
    • transient shaper,
    • exciter (saturator),
    • limiter,
    • gate
    • sculptor (dynamic enhancer)
    • visual mixer
    • widening
    • ....
    It has intelligent analyzing such as:
    • tonal balance
    • mix balancing
    • Mix assistant - auto preset setting (EQ, compressor, exciter, sculptor)
    • track frequency overlap
    • ....
    It is the only VST that its developers uses science instead of analog hype to make an innovative product. IMO it is the one and only tool you need for mixing.

    From the price perspective, for the price of Neutron Advanced, you can only get FabFilter Pro Q3, Pro-C, and Pro-R (Essential Bundle).

    Tried Fortin NTS, and I must say Mercurial Reaxis + Ownhammer sounds better.

    They are the same developers, so high probably they have reused some code from ozone, but there are many differences between the two.

    Cool, especially because it's cr*cked. One ampsim more to the TOTRY list... :wink:
    Interesting thing, Mercurial also uses neural technology. But they don't name their brand or plugin AI or neural, only for that I trust 'em more.

    Have you tried STL Howard Benson?

    So true and overrated Neural DSP Archetype PLINI... I downloaded the demo, tested it for 10 min, never again ...

    And don't get me started on Cubase 10...

    Unbelievable...I didn't know this "track god" and thought you were joking or making a mockery.
    Because as a non-native speaker I first read it like 'You will track god' (as in following them)...
    Then I read it like 'Track Gold'...:dunno::unsure::(:deep_facepalm:
    That's what the vendors are doing, I guess. Tracking Gold.

    Also, I should add that this new Archetype Nolly has a Peavey 5150 in it which sounds awesome! Fortin NTS has a specific sound that I didn't like (it sounds mushy, spread, and squashed - not much defined mid-range. I couldn't get a full sound, it was either too mid rangy and treble or very bassy.)

    I tried STL Howard Benson but it didn't impress me! For comparison between STL and Neural DSP see this:
    Archetype Nolly vs STL Andy James.
    Andy James sounds strange. Especially in the high-end distortion.


    I am going to try this new Archetype Nolly and compare it to my Mercurial Reaxis preset
