  • Versatile sound + resizable UI = LOVE!!

    ★★★★★
    by GH
    Soundwise, the parallel M/S combination allows pretty neat tricks in a single step ; the parameters support automation / envelope following while still sounding great. Good aliasing management for only 32 samples of latency measured here. This shines everywhere, be it on the 2 bus or on single tracks.
    And the cherry on the cake: the UI is resizable! Just fantastic.

    Not just a saturator, it's a tone shaping device. Easy in use, works like magic. Absolute a go to on groups and the masterbus. Would absolutely recomand it.

    This thing really brings tracks to life. M/S gives you a lot of control for mixbus applications. It makes synths shine, or growl. Really a fantastic saturator/exciter.

    The VSM-3 is pretty special and won't necessarily work with everything. Take the time to learn the signal flow in it and how it works.
    Once you get the complete overview of the capabilities you'll understand the power of this beast. I've been totally amazed by it's ability to revive dull mixes, restore hihats and stuff like that among other things.
    Either to "fix things", go crazier with your sound design, or add a specific color to a mixbus or master, this is a unique tool that you may want to try out !

  • Tone-Shaper

    This is the best saturator, with a lot of tone-shaping abilities you can use this on every track of the mix. Need to EQ a bit? How about the VSM-3? Some compression? How about the VSM-3? Distortion? Leave the dist solo on.

    This has always been a superb plugin only let down by a tiny user interface on high pixel density monitors. The recent update has finally fixed that with a choice of scaling up to 150%. Sounds as great as ever but now I can finally see what I'm doing properly!

    A great tool to add color to digital sounds. Works great for synth bass, synth leads. THD mix knob really helps to blend aggressive harmonic distortion of the plugin with the dry signal. I used it on current mixing sessions for Sterling Angel's music.

  • GUI small

    ★★★☆☆
    by Psysword
    Great plugin too tiny for my 4k monitor. I love the sound and control knobs to shape distortion to perfection but how hard is to increase the GUI size to 150 percent? You can do it Dirk... then I’ll make it 5 stars.
