I'm gonna give this a spin. I have to mention your graphics for your two plugs are outstanding! Look almost real, well done.

I do have one question: When you increase the 'Drive' the output level increases wouldn't it be better if the Drive just increased the distortion without effecting the output level and the 'Level' controlled the output level?

Yum yum yum Tuuuuuuuuuuuuubes!!

Gonna bring these tubes in & drive them Thanx for sharing. Love the UI

By the way, is it possible to have or to download only the .DLL files? Because I registered to be able to download but when I'm downloading I got a warning telling me that the .exe file might be harmful to my system?

Thank you very much

I second this!

Really great graphics. An auto-attenuator or just increasing the distortion would be the optimal approach.

False positive. My anti-virus blocked the exe from downloading, so I just disabled, downloaded it again and it put the dll where I wanted it. Then turned my anti-virus back on and all is good.

The installer isnt fully in english though, but if youve installed one plugin youve basically installed them all. Not hard to figure it out haha.

Time to test it out.

Im liking it so far. Threw it over a whole track just to see how dirty I can get things and with max drive I was getting a nice breakup slightly crunchy sound. Its pretty subtle otherwise, and saturates nicely, I instantly liked it on some distorted guitar I recorded a while back, and on a snare track for the same project.

I work in 96khz and the resources this thing uses is very low. Just a tiny sliver in my asio meter and a very small hit on the cpu. I dont think ill have to worry about throwing this thing all over in my mixes.

The only thing I want is to be able to shift or alt-click a knob to put it back to its default position. At least for the balance and crossover knob.

Will we see support for ProTools in the near future ?

Both Betas sound great. Congratulations.
Any plans on 64bit AU?
Also, I noticed during the MAC install that there was an expiration date (07/12). Will these timeout in July?

I was accepted in the Avid developer program but still waiting for my account to be activated... but yes, RTAS support planned.

The betas expire in july. Until then they will be replaced by newer builds if necessary, or by the final versions.

Alright installed them and giving them a try, so far like what i'm hearing but gonna give it more go.

One thing for sure, as @Jerrick mentioned a good point "The only thing I want is to be able to shift or alt-click a knob to put it back to its default position. At least for the balance and crossover knob." A MUST for both plugins

A maybe a Mix/Wet knob (controlling the overall effect) would be a good idea to add. Tried this in Reaper and as Reaper automatically has in its Fx Windows an overall MIx/Wet knob, its not necessary but I know not all DAWs have this feature.

Thanx to the Dev for sharing these plugins

Looking forward final tweaked release.

Just tried it. It sounds very good. Very subtle, but very good.
Great job!

Trying both plugs. +1 on loving the GUIs.

@ExNihilo: couldn't find a thread for the WARMultipress...we should have one.

Hey great plugins (both the tube and multiband comp). if you want to update your FAQ both plugins work great in Presonus Studio One v2 (x64). not tested in 32bit but I guess it's also fine.

thanks again for the cool product

on the frontend gui of the plugin there's still written 0.1.0
even if you install 0.2.0 (this on windows xp sp3 with wavelab)

can you fix it? thanks!

Both of these are getting purchased the minute they're available. The compressor sounds fantastic

I think this guy is by design supposed to be subtle, if you want aggressive I recommend Saturn. That thing can peal your face off!
