    Is it zero-latency?

    plugin calls NSScreen safeAreaInsets unguarded. Loads in Logic but crashes instantly. Hopefully he doesn't mean "better than OTT" about the Xfer version.

    Unusable, its lagging and freezing in Ableton

    Tried in Reaper Linux as VST3.
    Works without problems. Very little CPU.
    Autogain would have been nice, but hey, it's free!
    Unfortunately I am not experienced enough to judge whether it is better than any other.

    Note: I downloaded beta 8 which is new since 2026-02-07.

    works fine for me, vst3, ableton, M4 mac. Its good. More control than classic OTT - Ableton's, and then Xfers. Better than some of the other ones Ive accumulated over the years. Not as immediate as Xfer / Ableton, but useful in other ways. i appreciate the different preset crossover curves. I think my favorite "OTT" type processor is Squeeze, from GMaudio. A free M4L device that is insane. Highly recommended if you are into OTT and have ableton. It can be subtle or the most extreme gut wrenching sonic mayhem.
