Kal « Practical but limited. »
Published on 12/02/13 at 03:07The sonic is a sweet bundle of plug-ins including BBE D82 software version of the famous sonic stomp of the brand, along with an exciting harmonic "Harmonic maximizer" and a limit "loudness maximizer".
The installation was no problem activating the sit too.
I have not read the manual but these plug-ins are very simple and intuitive.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
I use it on a desktop PC Core I5 (Quad-Core), 4Gb of ram, in Sonar X1.
No stability problems and plugs are wasteful.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for 2 months, I made a comparison with other plugs (among others in waves) with a freeware Exciter in Antress works as well (but took me some crash issues).
The price and appearance of Fame sonic maximizer convinced me to buy this suite.
The main interest of this result is the Sonic Maximizer, the process is rather vague (BBE proclaims that this system realign the phase of the bass and treble that HP would be difficult to reproduce). Short BBE is not very specific about what it really does to your signal: its application can revive tristounettes tracks a little, it adds a little punch and seems to dig the sound.
This effect, however, is used sparingly, otherwise end up with an aggressive mix and missing pretty mediums.
The harmonic maximizer sometimes helps out (rendering is similar to the "Renaissance" from Waves I alternately uses 2, sometimes one works better, sometimes the other ...).
I never use the loudness maximizer may be wrong, but having not bad solutions compressor / limiter (Waves L1 and C1, Vintage Channel, ProChannel ...) I quickly get the result I want with those above.
In the end a sequence that seems a bit busy, with a best-seller whose reputation is second to none, and 2 plugs that appear there to justify the price of the suite.
The price is right (about 100 euros), personally I find it hard to do without the D82 and I do not regret this investment.
I only put 7 because the interest is a bit limited, so BBE (finally Nomad factory rather that publishes these softs) had put two plugs in other really interesting result would be a very good deal.
