    What?? So, people who aren't fans of him (or his products) aren't buying his products? How scandalous! This is obviously a smear campaign!

    If you listen to his mixed music and don't know who he is, you'll quickly determine whether he's good at his job or not.

    He came out on YouTube, and now every viewer can form their own opinion about what mental illness he suffers from or is impaired by. Perhaps it's just a character flaw or delusions of grandeur. Without a medical report, we're not in a position to judge; perhaps he's a great person with a few weaknesses. Perhaps he'll soon realize it himself and delete the video. Or he'll continue to ruin his good reputation and soon find himself unemployed.

    Yeah, I'm not trying to diagnose him with anything, but delusions of grandeur is a more accurate assessment than what I said.

    AP Mastering's personality reminds me of many YouTube political commentators.

    After this thread, I will never engage with anything AP Mastering says or does. Simple solution.

    The worst thing about it is that they actually believe and are convinced of what they're saying.
    Can anyone help them? Without insight, there's no improvement.

    There are far more important things happening in the world to complain about and I won't go off topic, except to say on topic, maybe his priorities are out of whack. As you all were.

    If you succeed and sustain it, that is. Otherwise, you might end up isolated. The mask is fragile and the ego is buried deep.

    in the words of Robert J. Hanlon to “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” In other words, rather than questioning people's intentions, question their competence. (Hanlon's razor).

    Worry about the plugin, not the motives. The motive is money. With this kind of clickbait and other YT videos to accompany the plugin, you should already know the plugin is disposable anyway.

    In the End, I will back anyone who puts their money where their mouth is. I've been following him for a while, and his interface tests are really good. The Plugin game is full of nonsense shitfuckery preying on the eye candy of gear lust.. Props to him and guys like Dan Worrell for exposing this shit and making a useful tool like Delta Expose and Plug in Doctor.

    What does this guy (or Dan Worrall) have to do with DDMF Plugin Doctor?

    ai: Christian Siedschlag, PhD, is the founder of DDMF and the key individual behind its plugin developments. He's a physicist and musician with a background in atomic physics, and he initially taught himself programming through simulating atomic behavior

    Ok, I'll put my money where my mouth is.

    $10 to you via PayPal that "Big Plugin" hasn't coordinated a targeted attacks against AP Mastering.

    Thanks for backing me Dimentagon!

    Dan Worrall is great. Even better he's not an egomaniac trying to sell me a buggy compressor.

    The plugin industry is definitely full of bullshitters. Thank god we get to try the stuff out on the sister site, otherwise I would have never discovered the amazing tools made by ToneBoosters.

    It's funny you say that...it is almost like the princess kissing 1,000 frogs to find one prince.
    If everyone went through every plugin they have and without being unwilling to let go of any, asked themselves, if they had to do something urgently at high quality, which plugins would they reach for? - They would find they have more plugins than they thought collecting dust.
    If someone said to anyone "You are only allowed to keep only one plugin of each type" - Most people would have their plugins to well and truly under 40, more likely under 15 (Not instruments and not including stock plugins that come with the DAW).

    I have heard most of my life people say how this or that plugin is soo much better that this or that. So that someone takes the time to test and proves that most of it is just not true is great. I don't care about his work or his personality. I care about what he brings to the table. I don't understand why so many in this thread are focusing on the man and not the ball. Who cares about his personality or what he believes. Care about what he demonstrates.
