    To be disappointed, you have to have some unrealistic expectations to start with.

    Serum 2 delivered, and so did Nexus 5. That's because they are developers who put out a completed product. If someone has lots more stuff to add to a released plugin; it's because either they were not done with it, or the developer will usually turn out to be one of those "who will fix everything in the next magic update" that never shows up before they run out of money or start another company.

    Most people on here probably can't even remember the last time they bought a plugin that turned out to be junk.

    he's been scamming for quite some time now. There's a video about how someone bought his company and in that there's 5 seconds clip him admitting he's been using other people studio (and maybe credibility) for the website and whole Sage Audio brands to score online jobs all these years. Most of his "high quality" mastering was done in his bedroom with plugins. Nothing wrong with using plugins but scamming his way to it with using real mastering studio pictures with hardware gears is just a dick move.

    I watched almost all of his videos (no thanks to YouTube algo) to learn about what not to do during mastering and learn a lot from it. His method is ass and the way he looks at things also kinda stupid IMO. He uses his own track sometimes and he's below average in music. 80% of the stuff he said, content of the videos are something previously discussed here or AZ because the lines seem super familiar, mf just repeating it on the videos.
