Must have plugin
I use this mainly in the drums and I've got a very good addition to the already good sounding playing room.
N. Mendez
Unique and clean...
I got some interesting delays to give essence to a ghostly vocal.. This plugin did the trick...
I am big on effects and this is a must have.C. George
A Must Have Plugin
I didn’t know my mixes would benefit so much until I demoed this plugin. Adds amazing warmth and depth to drums and vocals. The sounds you hear on the radio. Gives it that extra 10-15% polish! Really an amazing plugin! I never get a plugin until I know it’ll be used at least 75% of the time. It made the cut and is officially in my templates! Buy it!

Still learning how to ues this.

Spot On
I’ve been fixing DMX’s & RMX’s for the last 15 years. This DMX emulation is spot on & is not as finicky as the real ones. I knew it was in the works & as soon as there was a sale, I bought it. Thanks UA!
I. Kravchenko
Clear winner
This is now permanent in my vocal send. Love it.

Hard to resist
Studio grade delay.. why miss out
S. Shaw
Fierce creativity machine!
Yes it's replicable with a bunch of tweaking on other plugins, but this emulation simply gets "there" so fast that I can put more focus on creativity flow. Quality plugin!
G. Merino
Excellent!
Great tool. Presets are very useful. Amazing on vocals!
Not giving 5 stars because of the tiny GUI. Please make it resizable!D. McCoy
Expander
This is an amazing Processor. From width enhancement to pitch shifting, it’s got you covered. But not in a generic way! This thing has real character that I’ve found missing from other tools that claim to cover this ground. Try it, and buy it!
B. McDade
The search is over!
I have been trying for years to recreate that classic 80’s vocal polish but never seeming to quite capture it. No I have it, the presets are awesome and there is enough to deep dive and fine tune all you need to. Truly wonderful!

me gustaria comprarla con el hardware, debo decir que suena diferente a los otros delays y sobre todo pitch shifters. en las guitarras y voces conserva el detalle de las transientes, si bien el panel parece enredado es sencillo de manejar después de un tiempo de experimentación. me encantaría que uad implementara el midi learn, sería muy útil para automatizar y no tardar tanto con el mouse

Sounds - Ok Complicated to get the sound you want, Be sure to DEMO First
Presets are OK .. the demo does this plugin a lot of justice to the point that it enticed me, an engineer of 20+ years into buying this plug-in. I missed the 14-day window and did not get to demo the plug-in. . You can get the same results with a delay and pitch shift plugin. I was not impressed as I spent a day or so trying to emulate the sounds featured in the video DEMO. Be sure to DEMO first!
