The BBE Sonic Suite is a bundle of software that contains three types of plug-ins.  It comes with the D82 Sonic Maximizer, L82 Loudness Maximizer, and the H82 Harmonic Maximizer.  It was easy to install the bundle as you can install each of them at the same time and it only takes a few minutes.  Each plug-in is easy to follow in terms of the interface of the software, as the sonic maximizer and the loudness maximizer has just three knobs and the harmonic maximizer has five.  I didn't take me too long to get accustomed to plug-ins and to get a grasp on all of the parameters.  I didn't need to look at the manual for the BBE Sonic Suite so I can't say if it would be helpful or not.

SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

Each of the plug-ins in the BBE Sonic Suite has run smoothly for me whenever I have tried to use it.  I have run the plug-ins on a Pro Tools HD system with an Apple G5 computer and even though I usually only run two or three of them at once (if at all) and I've never had any problems within this configuration.  I don't use these all that often and while it would of course vary from system to system, I don't think that anyone with a decent will have much trouble running the plug-ins.


OVERALL OPINION

I've been using the BBE Sonic Suite for about a year and it is definitely a serviceable bundle of plug-ins.  I'm not the biggest fan of their sound and I think that the D82 Sonic Maximizer is the best of the bunch, but they can come in handy in certain situations and can do some things that other plug-ins cannot within a single bundle.  The price is a nice aspect of this bundle as you save money for the three plug-ins.  These aren't my favorite plug-ins the world and I do use them sparingly, they are nice to have around.  If you are looking for a good group of plug-ins at a cheap price, definitely try these out.
