    Saw this on sale for $29 at Initial Audio (regular $89) was wondering if anyone has used it or has thoughts on it. I'm not a pro, just a serious hobbyist, whatever that means... lol

    waste of SSD space. most of their plugins are. I would not have it installed for free. No matter what you do with it, even just for learning; this will not be anything you end up using. Skip it, unless you want to waste your time.

    im using Heat up 3 often when i dont want to use Nexus or Omnisphere.....just for fun but i wouldnt recommend the master suite

    Use The Master assistant from Ozone and tweak from there....im sure you get a better result

    I haven't tested this plugin, I'm not using this kind of plugins for mastering, but since not only Plugin Alliance has some similar stuff, people seem to use these. I don't know why this should be especially bad. Also, you can easily dl the demo and test it, it's a direct dl-link.

    Thank you for the feedback, I think I was attracted to the "all in one" mastering aspect of this plugin, seems to do a little bit of everything I guess. I can always try the demo I suppose.

    My 2 cents: I got good results (to my opinion) with United Plugins FireMaster.

    Try the Musik Hack Master Plan plugin. Very good and does everything this plugin does.

    Good recommendations, I've read about the Fire Master and heard good things I think. That "Master Plan" looks real good, Impressive reviews! I may pick it up.

    Plugins like this one may be helpful to polish a mix a bit, but for a serious mastering you need way more control to be able to make specific adjustments.

    Its the worst plug in I ever used I dont understand why it exists its a distortion fx only with 5 simular distortions ,its existance betray the fact that this developers have no clue about audio and mastering who is going to put so much distortion in the mastering ? we arent talking about abit of excitement it full distortion and its not a suite its just a terrible distortion plugin that looks nice thats all it is ,why they sell it no idea.
