You mean don't randomly adjust things too far from default? Or zero? Does it have presets?

The first!
You must know what that particular knob will do to the sound or surely you will end up with a big headache! :lol: :lol: :lol:

And no, the presets for a Dynamic processor are useless :mrgreen:

This plug-in looks interesting. Does anyone have any experience with it that can speak to the sound quality?

If you want a very good sounding MultiFX for free, try this:

This is my last advice :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Operator and Simpler are pretty goodly once you get used to them.

Go on youtube there are a bunch of tutorials on how to use them and get the sound you want.

If you have the money, I love Nexus. In my opinion, it's worth the 299. I tried, massive, and sylenth1... but I fell in love with reFX-Nexus2
yeah that's cause there's no work involved. Just plug and play

Meaning the Nexus? Or with Ableton Instruments?

Meaning Nexus. Other ableton instruments take a lot of work if you want to make a good sound. Nexus just gives 'em to you and won't even let you change or adjust the sounds! It's complete rubbish! And they charge you $300 for a basic set of decent (not spectacular) presets. You might as well just download their sample loops and block them together like any child can do.

Sorry.. I'm just bitter about the fact that they don't let you edit the sounds. If they did, then yeah, it would be my vst of choice.

If you want a decent (and useable) vst for pretty cheap, you should check out ANA by synth squad. I've used massive, nexus, sylenth, fab filter, zebra, FM8, strobe, etc.. ANA proved to be one of my favorites out of all of them. And it's by far the most intuitive. Check it out

The company tone2 is unpopular for their security-policies, but their plugins rock. Tone2 Saurus is a favourite of mine and in my opinion beats diva in terms of analog sound, resource-management and price. Probably my go-to synth for years to come.

Also they have a great home-mastering solution called akoustix. Really simple, but powerful, does things I havent seen other plugins do.

They've also got the smoothest sounding filters in the business in my opinion, Filterbank 3 is again a great plugin and also does things others cant do.

I'd like to mention Kontakt by NI too, what a sampler!
