Anybody using Sonic Birth?

I just upgraded to the full license, and I gotta tell you, it's so cool being able to say "I need a tremolo effect that I can just set the tempo", then spending 15 minutes making the plug-in and using it in a project.

I know the Pluggo/Max/DSP thing is similar, but Sonic Birth is very easy to use, and it's the only other option I know of for OS X.

Anyway, if you haven't tried it out, you can at http://sonicbirth.com

I'm planning to post a few of my plug-ins soon, too..

i know this post has been buried for years, but i just discovered SonicBirth and i've been having a blast with it. anyone out there using this software (three years later)? i built a super-simple tape slapback delay, and it sounds pretty good. i don't have many "nice" third party plugins to compare them to, but the results seem pretty nice...do SonicBirth plugs hold up (sound quality wise) to "real" commercial plugins?

I still use it all the time. I think they hold up to commercial plugs for the most part. There are a few things that you have to work around, when you get into changing waveforms and whatnot (like building a brick wall limiter, etc,) but the sound quality is essentially neutral. Have fun, feel free to ask if you run into any problems, etc.
