Looks interesting

Looks like under the hood you used multiples of your other plugins and morph into one.

Let see how it holds up.

Still patiently waiting for soundbrigade update.

No, nothing like that, new processes.

SoundBrigade is powerful for such stuff but requires more care while adding detailed control. It is coming in a couple days with a new algo.

I didn't mean that in a bad way, more streamlined and seamless was my intentions, but new processes you say?

Hopefully CPU doesn't cry, whats the oversampling set at or is it user configurable?

I'm liking the new website, but i can no longer read descriptions of each product anymore. Its like you look the picture like it, then buy lol, on mobile btw.

Thank you for your efforts

No, sure, just to be clear about that! Even though some processes are not straightforward, we need to understand when we are using different ones through different tools

Do this have the same registration as your older pluggins?

Actually the older Sknote plugs had no registration. The more recent ones have the registration you're referring to.

Thank you, you are right.

Yes but with a fix for Mac. So you don't need to do anything if you already have one plugin, just download and place.

Thank you.

Interesting deal. So there are other plugins besides the Moog (and at least one big update) coming in a short space of time? Well, I do want to see AT get taken further but still interested in the rest of your output. Any clues as to what we might see in the coming days?

BTW I had to turn the video up quite a bit so I could properly enjoy that musical Sicilian voice. When you put the track back on, I think it gave my neighbours a midnight heart attack... "1, 2!" cranked to 11!

Scary story :D

Yes, I should probably have used a compressor on my own voice, ehm...

Coming:

- MMG1 (you know that mono synth...)
- DualR (a Dual Rectifier amp with a special cab loader)
- Mic modeler

And a fix to all Mac versions for the registration issue some are having and a complete compatibility to Catalina thing.
Plus new SoundBrigade with a new algo.

MasterLimiter seem very good plugin , but i don't like the system of protection.

Details? Whats up

Challenge/response protection system :/

hwid protection ....

My bad then. Anyway it can be quite unpredictable and unreliable. I even think I'd prefer ilok (which means a lot...)

Indeed .

The problem is than if "one " day " the developer is out of business , you can't reactivate on new machine . With ilok dongle usb , at least , tha activation stay on your ilok key .

Long life to the developer

I own four of them but the protection system give’s me,,,,,,,, so I don’t install them.

Sorry.

Sell them!

4 posts out of 10 about this, not bad

I like your stuff and like to support.
I hate your protection.

I think Quinto mentioned new registration system is almost ready to go.

Can you elaborate what the new registration method will be?

And which quarter of 2021 you think you will be ready to deploy it?

Just for balance, the CR works fine for me here, never had a problem so far. It's maybe not my preferred method, but that's another matter.

I do empathize though with the folks having issues. New products are always cool, but it's public knowledge that quite a lot of people won't be able, or willing, to use them currently.

It would be so nice to not see this same topic going around and around on every new release thread

Not even a welcome subject on this forum


I'm tracking a video on another song by Francesco, with more focus on how the sound changes with choices, from mix to master. Stay tuned :D

Question is, why lose sales?

Over commonly disliked registration method. For one guy who's OK with it, there's 9 who are not.

Lots of people can't figure the process out, half of them forgets to re-download the plugin after machine registering, or some other registration step, is weary of having this back and forth between the website and DAW, keeps struggling and complaining.

Some are concerned what happens if Quinto takes a walk outside, gets Covid and dies, what happens to their plugins then?

This situation must be changed. No one needs this damned circle kinda thing, least of all Quinto himself.

I think it would get easier if new registration method will be explained in a few words. Maybe the new thing is something more people will be OK with, and more sales will follow as the result.

It's not a problem for me personally, I'm OK with the current method, but apparently it is for a bunch of people.

Well thats freaky, Cherry Audio just released a VST emulation of this the other day thats free

Edit: just noticed the topic GS thread
Cherry Audio Announces Surrealistic MG-1 Plus - FREE!

Fortunately for me I am not registrationally impaired. I own quite a few sknote products and the reg doesn’t bother me.
Can’t wait to get home from vacation and check out this limiter.

Quinto what’s up with not linking/unlinking gain to threshold? That’s more than just useful as you’re talking serious gain changes. Please add that option for the safety of our monitors!

Happy Thanksgiving sluts!

Different synths i believe, this sknote one is a minimoog i think, someone correct me if i'm wrong?

Limiter looks pretty interesting. I thought demos were promised ages ago?

I don't mind the refund thing so much but the last one took ages and several emails so not up for it again.
