Thinking about buying it. Anyone use it? Dig it? Hate it? Indifferent?

A lot of people here do not like BT. I think, buy it if you like it and if it helps you making better mixes

I like it.
It may not be everyone's cup of tea but i use it a lot. I tend to to think of it as a character plug in. The tube circuit adds some nice things to the sound... and the compressor and eq are nice.. however, i don't find it a surgical plug in -if you know what i mean!

I own whole BT V3 and I like it but I found this plugins usefull not for each track but only for some of them. If you use these plugins a lot in the same mix, in result there is a little bit too much character (color), mainly in hi-mid and highs (sound is less transparent and harsh).
My basic EQ and Dynamics is Sonnox, which is clean and very transparent.

I have almost all their stuff ... because of their color. Actually, I think these plugins are getting better and better...
I have a Scope DAW (Soniccore dsp boards) and I mainly use my DSP effects (e.g. : sonictimeworks reverbs, DAS EQs...) but the Nomad factory plugins add something very subtile as soon as you use them in a subtil way (I mainly use them on guitars). Of course, "hard" settings can be useful too but it can become "risky" at the end (that's always true though). I do think they are worth it for their price. Just my 2 cents ...

I only tried it at version 1.0 and it sucked.
I hear people saying they got much better since then.
