    Alain Paul seems to just ignore/delete/not respond to any comments that deeply question his logic, work, or perspective on any subject.

    Getting owned and exposed by The Witches, is a fitting punish for his bias and ignorance.

    The Witches have proven they are trustworthy, and deserve our support.

    AP Mastering has proven himself a desperate hypocrite, and does not deserve support.

    My opinion of course.

    Unlike AP, I am open to anyone who opposes my viewpoint or can disprove me.

    That "dice" deal sucks. If you click on it get prepared to duck and run for cover - very unpredictable for both ears and your playback system. So we all get this compressor for free, and it really should be free because there's nothing special about it at all. The scary, nazi-lookin' U-tuber gets a lesson from real witches on where he stands in the audio industry. The plugin is basically a throw away.

    The lesson learned here in todays class is - DON'T FUCK WITH THE WITCHES!

    I quoted something about artificial scarcity in the comments under the video-in-question (assuming it doesn't get deleted). I would post it hereon, but am unsure it would pass the Rules test. It's more economic than political, but anyway...

    When it's riddled with socio-political opinions, which it (like your previous comment) clearly is, no, for obvious reasons we cant have it here. Youtube or any of your other SM outlets are a perfect place for that stuff!

    Understood, understandable, and thanks for the feedback (as well as your moderation efforts).
    It can be a challenge when one gets into some habits, such as of peering at/explaining the world more from a holistic standpoint, where most anything can come to bear, but here, I'm trying.

    When i see an analyzer plugin like 30mb, old Span is under 1mb(!), 30 times smaller..it all started as a tool, good exsample is old legacy Waves plugs like rcomp rverb, feels like a tool...

    But these 70mb 3D GUI's, it is like a parallel universe forming this new fiddler industry specially knowing that we need to use ears more, not less.

    Cant even think to open those plugs while i'm doing some work.

    It’s clear now that this "developer" exploits sort of conversational marketing to grab attention, farm engagement, and monetize the drama by getting people to talk about him.So he was from the start a self-declared expert now just leaning on R2R info to prove himself an expert
    And this kind of works, I for example, had never heard of this bloke or his crappy plugins. But how ridiculous it all looks, clearly designed to fool idiots.

    Some developers, and even more sample content creators; don't care about the file sizes. With samples it is pretty obvious they bulk them up on purpose, and even mention the large amount of storage space as a selling point. If the gong is UA, people are going to be disappointed by the 10 mb they average. If you think Windows users have it bad, check out the size of the same plugins of the Mac versions. It's crazy.

    I think the best thing to do is just ignore him.

    So that shitty plugin is what he puts out after calling everything in audio world a scam. Ironic. This is why I will never use his tools. He is just an attention seeker with amateur approach to create plugins with a snob attitude just so make ppl trust in him so he can make a little bit of sale in this saturated plugin market. His ways are not my thing and he is one of the scams himself that is for sure. He is nothing but a clout chaser.

    Don't feed the troll.

    The world we live in: DSP developers try to gain recognition through scandalous videos and chatter, rather than through algorithms that sound so good everyone wants to use them in their tracks

    :rofl:

    cmon, give brother some break.."to give him less views" , why so mean..

    I dont mind watching his vids, sometimes i learn something about myself when i start reacting, respecting other people´s opinions for exsample, or free will.

    @clone - yeah, sometimes it is not double the size mac vs win, quadrouple the size, absolute insanity.

    Just because views are the only thing this so-called developer cares about, and his opinion stays with him, I didn’t change anything—you can make your own choice where to watch it, especially since he claims to love open source!:)
