I really like this new mastering plug. I'm getting a shitload of detail and depth out of my mixes. So much so that I'm going back and remastering everything - taking (basically) the 2 bus down to where I'm not mastering a master twice (I put limiters in my two bus).
Just sharing an example of what the plug does.
The AI it employs does some global settings really well and others require a more human touch - BUT it does put the mix in the right area, particularly w/ broad brush EQ application - based on traditional aims of classic mastering "styles".
I was skeptical, but upon using it more, began to appreciate it for its strengths and weaknesses (as I learned how to better address what it is not good at).
It tends to over apply the limiter and mixes LOUD. I usually back it off quite a bit to get rid of the pressed glass sheen limiting can add, but with just a few tweaks, this really does a good job adding sparkle and polish to mixes.
... as the example above will show.
