    Perhaps you were too young then. :)
    Besides it is too complicated with settings for a short demo. If find it the most transparent and precise transient shaper, along with Eventide Newfangled Punctuate. Has a very useful and intelligent set of settings which you can not find in any other transient shaper.

    "Adding" is bad enough, but "unique" finally nails it down to the ground.

    You can not track God, so it is surely snake oil by definition.

    "You don't need it if you know what you are doing" is valid for 90% of all of the pluginas present in the market today.

    All digital analogue modelling plugins are snake oil, because analogue (non-quantized) is opposite to discrete. Since you can do nothing about it, 'digital analogue' is just sadly focused on analogue distortions modelling and imitating well known analogue equipment,(as if it would 'remove' the quantisation), exploiting the analogue hype to earn some extra money.
    "Chaotic behaviour and randomness of the analogue world" are already picked up by microphones and PCM encoded.
    Another word for "chaotic behaviour and randomness" is NOISE.

    They don't say anything. But the greedy manipulating advertisers and hipsters say a lot.

    It is "horribly puritan and childish" to mind your language?
    And this ugly and offensive slang word does not even have anything to do with audio - and is absolutely unnecessary on this forum?
    And what 'Europeans'. There is only one English speaking country in Europe.

    RoyalCompressor is made by those guys who made Audified U73 and RZ062 EQ (as posted on gearslutz by developer). As I remember some Audified stuff are done for Slate digital mix rack. (U73b). So, the conclusion, Slate is about Melda. Hahahahahahahaha

    You better look at the installers of the software mentioned - they are from Melda, including registration interface. So it is done in cooperation with Melda.
    'Guys' work every now and then.

    I saw. Framework/tool bars are like Melda does. So, soundemote and rs-met are also same guis, but looks like different developers. DeEdger are frameworked by TDR, but coded by Jan Ohlhorst. Ray Dratwa (black rooster, fuse audio labs) worked on plugin alliance/brainworx. Cytomic (the glue, the drop...) coded some dsp for Serum. Dave Gamble aka DMGAudio worked with Focusrite, brainworx, sonalksis. Audiothing with Boz Digital Labs, as i remember. Dmitry Sches (thorn, tantra) with Nomad Factory. And many other examples i dont remember.

    And also, i don't understand your "dislike". I said a couple of correct and obvious things and quoted a developer's note. What is wrong here? Why you always downrate me?

    since humans can't hear anything higher than 20k, and most humans can's hear anything higher than 16k, a 40k adjustment is the absolute definition of snake oil. it does nothing.

    Soundspot = BABY AUDIO = Noiz-Lab = Denise.Audio = JD Young

    Different countries, same developers...
    Now, the question is... What of these developers mentioned above is/are snake oil?
