Reviewer Background
:
I've been making music for 40 years. I made a living playing bass in my younger years and like so many older musicians I now have a studio in my home. I'm a jack of all trades, master of none kinda player. I am a mac user running the latest version of Logic with presonus hardware. i work for Polk Audio so I am using our best bookshelf speakers as nearfield monitors. My go to mike is an AT4047. Like many married musicians I have a little trouble justifying to my wife my craving for new studio related toys so I am very careful about what I spend my $ on.
Ease of Use
:
10
This product could not be any easier to use - it defines less is more. I had zero problems with the install - could not have been easier.
Sounds/Sound Quality
:

These plug ins add mids and highs without adding any harshness. They seem to add air around whatever I use them on and I find myself using them on everything. They excel on vocals and acoustic guitar. They are great after compression to restore lost highs. Very vintage. I also use them on the Logic pianos for adding clarity.
Overall Rating

One of the ways I decide what to purchase with my limited $ is can I get close to achieving a sound with something I already own. I find that there is nothing in Logic that does what this bundle does. And there is nothing that I've seen that is so elegantly simple. It seems to be pretty easy on my CPU as well.
