These plugins are simply unmatched. Each one adds its own funky\/vibey character that when tweaked can really help each audio track in your mix tell a story that feels raw and fresh. When you start experimenting with these things and let go your preconceptions you can truly create some awesome sounds that would have never worked with lesser software.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nPros: Analog coloration and saturation that actually feels real (not fake and scratchy) truly enriching each track. Limitless experimentation opportunities. Large numbers of interesting presets to spark inspiration. These effects are the real deal. The quality and smoothness of effects produced far exceeds more budget friendly or free plugins offered by other companies such as Waves. These go on sale very rarely but when they do, you get serious bang for your buck. Easy install and setup.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nCons: Most presets are only usable after tweaking. The interfaces of some plugins in the bundle while aesthetically pleasing are not the most intuitive and have a steep learning curve. The interfaces of some plugins are highly simplistic allowing for only limited adjustment. Not amateur friendly but if you're dropping this much money you probably have solid experience under your belt.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nHonestly, I have yet to come across software that has revolutionized my mixing in the same way these plugins have. My haphazard experimentation with them has evolved into a vibey sonic blueprint I am proud of. Truly a gift for those who cannot affords tens of thousands in niche analog gear. Thanks Soundtoys, and thanks Sweetwater for a confident purchase!
