Hi!
I'm new to Mastering The Mix company. I noticed their sale here:
https://audiodeluxe.com/collections/mastering-the-mix

Could you tell me if Mastering The Mix have some amazing plugins definitely worth buying?
(I already have Soothe2, Ozone 9 advanced, Neutron 4, PSP, Waves, etc)

I'm especially interested in your opinions about LIMITER, EXPOSE 2, RESO, MIXROOM and BASSROOM.
I'm wondering if plugins in these bundles are game changers or just "another plugins":

thanks!

 

also, can RESO do anything Soothe2 cannot?

 

They are all on the same level as simple free plugins. Amateurish at best.

 

Not in my opinion. "Limit" is pretty good, would put it in B+ tier. "Bassroom" is meh. "Levels" is fine - but your DAW should already have something similar. "Expose" can be useful in some situations, they (used to) give it away for free pretty frequently though. Definitely not worth $32.

 

Very usefull plugins when you don't have a top-line monitoring hardware. I blindly trust them for eq-ing and metering on the master bus. Also the Limiter has two very interesting controls, NRG and Punch, that can add some "last-minute character".
Try putting Mixroom and Bassroom after your master eq and follow their suggestions. Then put the Limiter after your final limiter, without pushing it and play with NRG and Punch.
Reso and Punch are plugins that work somehow "behind the scenes". They don't have significant audible results but are extremely useful resolving frequency issues during the mixing phase.

 

Do you think LIMITER is as good as Ozone9 in terms of sound quality?
When I mastered a song with Ozone9, adding LIMIT after Ozone9 could add more punch without loosing loudness?

You don't agree with Lieglein and xorome that BASSROOM is nothing special?
