    Have you seen any proof of this? Just like "I have a popular YT channel, can I get a NFR?" works...

    Based on his video thumbnails with him staring at us like a serial killer it could honestly go either way.....!

    Did you mean to quote me instead? If that's the case, just look for the comparisons in his channel. It's either "company reached to me" or "I reached out to ask if". One that comes to mind are the phono cartridges.

    So pointless. It's a quantifiable issue. I'm only interested in whether his plugin works. Period.

    No, I meant to quote @MBC_Music in post #57 where he mentioned that he is coding these plugins himself. But that seems like an assumption, when there are plenty of coders out there making free or cheaper plugins already; some of whom are willing to create a plugin for someone with an idea and a sales platform. I don't watch Youtube for anything but as a last resort.

    It is not important as far as his music goes, but it may be important in other areas, particularly when it comes to legal matters.

    If i make great music is it ok to beat and rob someone on the street?
    According to some, that should be excused, because "the music".

    According to many, artists who kill themselves should get more recognition that all the rest, regardless of the quality of their music.
    According to many, artists who kill themselves should be role models for youth.

    So, what people do in their private lives might matter.

    ================
    What is an NFR?
    I am guessing it is not "Non-functional requirements", "National Finals Rodeo", "Non-financial risk", "not for real", "National Fire Rating", "No fun Ryan", "say whatever" or "sure why not", "Not For Resuscitation"... Well there is a lot that doesn't seem to fit.

    For a moment I was horrified by the thought that perhaps more people are addicted to hate pornography than to sex pornography.
    Well, I hope not.

    I honestly don't know for sure than AP is the only person coding/developing these plugins, but the UI and buggy behavior of the compressor gives me the impression that it could be true.

    Im taking his word for it in this case, even though I really shouldn't trust anything the guy says.

    Huh, I guess I'm not missing out by not watching his other videos.

    Mind you there are YouTubers that I really enjoy who do critical analysis without the bs, like Julian Krause and Dan Worrall.

    He lost my sub when he compared 3 turntable preamps on one of his other channels, and told me that I couldn't possibly prefer the one that wasn't the cheap one, like what? You're claiming my personal preference is impossible? Douchebag...

    At first I liked his video's, but then he started to go all wacko and now I don't watch his vids anymore. He's losing it.

    My idea of a 'limiter'-- so far-- is turning the channel-track way down until I can put my half-placed headphones fully back over my ears. The new Resonarium synth spikes quite a bit. I have it down to 3 and it's still hitting the yellow LEDs. I guess I should start looking into a limiter.

    This seems suspiciously like a thread started by Big Plugin. Thought AP was full of it before, but after seeing how many comments this ridiculous, do-something-more-useful-with-your-time-please thread has, it looks like AP was right!

    Stop procrastinating and finish your damned tracks and mixes everyone!
