Any thoughts?

when will people get it into their heads that mastering is not just about making things louder. "So there you go, Mastering with Dynamizer"... oh dear, we obviously still have a long way to go.

how about hearing those A/B comparisons with B compensated for volume.

"i want to change the dynamics... to match that of current releases". yeah, 'current releases' are such a great example of what we should strive for in the treatment of dynamics.

and then... "i want to maintain a wide dynamic range.... and increase the energy level of the song". ok now i'm confused. i thought you wanted to change the dynamics to match current releases. which current releases? oh and apparently i don't have to worry about EQ anymore, that's a relief. and tacked on at the end, as a mere afterthought... "... [it has] to be set by listening..." thanks roger, i'll keep that in mind.

actually i'm confused about a lot of things. maybe this is just pure genius, just not explained very well. or at best it's just another 'go-louder' box/plug in.

right or wrong, i stand by my philosophy that A) there's no such thing as a 'mastering' plug-in, and B) mastering is not a technical process, but an aesthetic one.

What are ya tryin to do Mark? Put Turtlerock outta business? Nah seriously I tried a demo of this this ages ago out of curiosity and its pretty cheezy, looks cheezy and sounds cheezy, pretty poor.

I thought the track sounded better before he screwed with it.

Hmm. I don't think it sounded too bad after it was treated. I think what is more suspicious is the fact that it just sounds louder and the interface kinda distracts you from the job that your supposed to be doing. But I certainly wont be rushing out to try it out or buy one.
