Software Freq booster vst

Freq Booster VST - Freq Booster is revolutionary plugin that enriches sound with creation of new harmonics using algorythm based on unique new psychoacoustic algorythm: crossmodulation of harmonic operators and imposition of new frequiencies.
Plugin creates effect of intellectual boosting of frequency in terms of Intellectual Information Technology (IIT) Development of this plugin was inspired also by psychoacoustics research of Shleenkin Alexandr and russian works on mathematical physics.



This plugin is designed to bring warm and phat sound to modern digital music. With help of it you can create necessary amount of sound harmonics to drumloops, kicks, guitar, boring digital synth or even to final mix. Creation of new harmonics without using eqalisation is a main sense of this plugin. Its good to use it in dance, techno, dubstep, electronica, drum n bass, big beat, dub, reggae and all other styles.
Harmonic operators section define psychoacustic effect of sound. Operators modulate each other in a special way that open a venue to experiment and possibility to achieve sound that you want.
LFO section was designed specialy for Dubstep genre but can be used in other styles too of course. With help of this section you can control pulsation of harmonics with temp syncing or manually. Put this plugin at insert to some boring digitall bass line and assign rate, depth, cutoff knobs to midi controllers to create it floating, pulsating Dubstep Base sound. Main feature of this plugin is separate processing of low medium and high frequency. To assign controller to knob make a right click of the mouse on virtuall controller and you will see pop-up menu where you can choose controller.

You need to hire a native English speaker, preferably one has used a plugin or two, to do your marketing.

With just a few extra polite words most of these comments could actually become constructive criticism, but as is they come across as just snarky and culturally biased. If you really do think this guy is on to something useful then give him some moral support and help him to *want* to improve it for you his future customers rather than just showing him that his efforts will always be met with cynical criticism.

I salute all developer because they actually contribute something.

I had a look at the product and your site, there seems to be a few things that need improving in regards to the site and the marketing of your product. However, from what I understand, the product itself looks cool and might be a useful tool.

Firstly, the question that some users will want to know is whether it is both PC and MAC compatible. I am a Mac user so I would like to know. I am assuming it is both, since I see two download links for the plugin, so could you clarify that for us?

Secondly, your website needs a bit of tidying up mainly around the products pages and the site itself. Firstly, I would change that background to an image of your own design (or ask a graphic designer to create an image for you) since I don't think Marshall amps would be too happy seeing that on your site, if they find it. You don't want them suing you for using their brand image to promote your products or something like that. I see your colours are mainly black and orange, with your plugins so far developed to tape, synths and frequencies, and I see that the marshall image is detachable so you could just remove it and have the orange header melding into the black background, that would be enough. If you want to see some websites for inspiration, look at other plugin developers like Sonnox, Brainworx, FabFilter, Voxengo, and see how they just have their logo at the top, and any images are usually just of their plugins (ie brainworx has a 3d version of bx digital there)

Your plugin graphics need a bit of tweaking for some of them, mainly your new one. It has a simple interface which I like, but as a laptop user I would find the large size of that plugin too big for the screen, it would take up way too much space. I would think a better idea for the design would be to have only one exciter area shown at a time, and you have buttons at the top to alter which one is shown, which effectively reduces screen space used by 2/3. Then you can have the master section displaying at all times for quick tweaking, or have yet another button for that section to save even more space. Again I would get a graphics designer to help you with your plugin graphics, I think a unified theme for your plugins would also help as it would help people to recognise your brand identity. Notice for example Voxengo's plugins and Branworx's plugins have the same background and knob designs (of course apart from BX Vertigo VSC2 which is modelled on a real hardware piece so its understandable to keep the graphics looking like the hardware for authenticity) but I would think that a simpler GUI would do wonders for your plugins and to keep it simple. Also, for the toggle Pwr switches on freq booster, which position is on and which is off? You might want an LED indicator to let the user see what is what.

Lastly, your youtube video needs to be explained. Instead of making your tune from scratch, and then applying the plugin and tweaking it, create a finished piece off-camera, then talk We like to know what's going on and you can take the time in the video to explain what each parameter does to the sound. Use it on all different audio sources like drums, bass, guitars, vocals, really milk the product in the video and let us see just what it can do for our sound.

Overall I like the look of your plugins, but I won't buy unless I know that they are compatible with mac

So...
- Improve your website with your own graphics
- Improve the site content and explain your products better
- Have a unified graphics design for your plugins, make them take up less space etc
- Create a more detailed youtube video

Once youve done this, I am sure you will get a more positive response from the GS community. I'm not trying to be snarky or beat you down with criticisms, I like the look of your products! Keep at it, and I am sure you will see success.

EDIT: Also, I am able to write content for your plugins for free, so long as I can get credited for that. Might help me get more writing jobs in the future. If your plugins aren't Mac compatible I have a laptop I can use running windows. Plus I can always help make some youtube videos if needed. PM me.

All good suggestions but what if the developer doesn't understand English?

Well, if he used a translator (a person or software) to create his post then he should be able to do the same thing to read the comments.

Fair enough, decorum does matter, but they are asking $50 dollars for the thing. It's not charity. And that was their first post on gearslutz. Basically just free advertising, when they haven't really done anything to warm up to the community... No one owes them anything.

They came out of the gates so poorly that, regardless if it's cool or not, it's probably going to be overlooked. They can find someone to help them with that, and I bet they could find someone to do it very cheaply (I bet there are folks here who would do it just for free plugins).

If I didn't care at all about the guys, I'd just have let the thread die like many similar threads have before it.

They also listed it as an APP, when it should be SW.

To me, thinking that one can broadcast their marketing message into a different cultural context (e.g. English-speaking forums) without proper consulting from someone who speaks that language and knows the community is a form of hubris. Not the other way around.

I agree that the guy has a lot to learn about marketing on an English only website, but if you want to say that he "came to the gate poorly" I would say that the response he got was a bucket of cold water thrown at him. I just think the world can be a kinder place and a lot of internet users are getting in the habit of being reflexively cruel and rude rather than supportive/helpful. If someone does something "wrong" by your standard then politely pointing out how to improve their interaction is more likely to have a positive affect than bring rude or dismissive.

Now, I don't think the responses on this thread were over the top obnoxious. If that was the case I wouldn't have bothered trying to point out a different view point. Gearslutz is usually a pretty supportive forum though the last few years I've seen things degrade to some degree. I think we can all stand a reminder that it's better to make friends than enemies.

That would have been best. As is, you kind of came off like a d!ck.

There's a ton of self-importance going on around here and it's a little annoying. The forum has moderators that can handle threads that aren't appropriate.

The guy asked that we check out his plug, not to give criticism on his marketing prowess.

Good luck OP, the plug looks interesting.

Syncaine has been around for a while, they are ok guys from what i know and i also think the original responses were a bit mean. That said, just looking at this makes me a bit dizzy, i wish there could just be an easy section with the main "less and more and band" without all the other buttons.

Syncaine's previous stuff was synthedit so I am not sure if this is, but if it is there won't be a mac version.

Ok i checked the download it's windows only.

Hey, name calling is cool as long as you say "kind of" first. No hard feelings.

Thanks for clarifying about Syncaine, TNM. Have you used any of their previous products? Anything else cool worth checking out?

It wasn't name calling. I was simply pointing out a behavioral issue.

No need to play the victim and get all sensitive now, it wasn't cool to come in and poo poo this guy's thread and you got called out on it. Deal with it.

I hope you're seeing the irony. But either way, arguing on the internet...

Hopefully the developer takes the criticism directly, without all the nonsense inferred by the people who got offended on his behalf.

Google translate I am assuming. It's actually pretty good all-round, although the few sentencing/grammatical errors here and there.
