I bought this bundled with True Iron during Black Friday (after Trying...Before-Buying, ) and am pretty excited about this update, and apparently, Apple user will be pleased with the additions, as well.

From the Kazrog Site:

"True Dynamics v1.1 will launch in February 2021. This is a free update for existing users, and adds a new compressor model, based on the rare Collins 26W vintage tube compressor. The 26W model offers a more saturated character than the other two models in True Dynamics, and is excellent for adding harmonic richness to tracks and buses.

This update will also add native support for Apple Silicon in VST, VST3, and AU formats. Current Kazrog plugins are running well in Rosetta on current M1 based Macs, and we plan to add support for Apple Silicon in AAX format as soon as Avid supports Apple Silicon in Pro Tools.

True Dynamics is nominated for the 2021 NAMM TEC Awards, and the ceremony will be held online January 22. Thanks to everyone who voted for us - see you online!"

 

I absolutely love the LA-1B model in True Dynamics. I use it on everything.

 

even more saturated? I wouldn't call the other two models clean, in the narrower sense. This makes me sceptical, but curious.
Nonetheless, great plugin, thanks for the info.

 

Haha, I wouldn't call them clean, either. Despite the fact they both kind of "open up" certain instruments, they still add a darker flavour, a lot more than most compressors that I'm accustomed to using, anyway. Loving them both, though. Sixty bucks bundled with True Iron was too good to pass up, even for my broke-ass.

Well, Kazrog started with bad-ass metal ampsims. I guess they can't help add more "punchy" since, you know, old habits die hard...

LOL, UAD and Waves… yeah right… really progressive people over there at NAMM :D

 

Yeah, kinda predictable, but like most awards, they kinda seem to go with crowd favorites over legitimate contenders. At least AKG got a nod. I love AKG, but I do need to upgrade my flat-response AKGs, as they're comparatively low-end (...no pun intended.)
