The moment I heard about the Black Box harmonic saturation unit in M/S mode, I was on board! It’s not something you see very often with saturation units; a depth in subtleties which I’ve long sought after. Saturation plugins are usually extremely heavy-handed or too basic, where the first click is barely doing anything, and the next click is just too extreme, particularly for mastering applications. The Black Box M/S is perfect for riding those subtleties. The extremely fine controls make it a joy to experiment with and really elevate the dimensionality of a track; especially things like the saturation filter shape & frequency selection options, mid/side vs. stereo, and the general tonal calibration of the plugin is a game-changer. I’m seriously blown away. I can really fine-tune the tone and the harmonic depth to such a high degree. This plugin is staying in my toolbox for a long time.
