Voxengo r8brain PRO

In mastering work I often do (unscientific) blind testing where I'll A/B two files or settings (with my eyes closed) and see which I choose as better.  I did this with R8Brain PRO for some 48KHz to 44.1KHz conversions and easily and consistantly chose R8Brain over Wavelab's Crystal Resampler.  Just last night I stepped further to compare the R8Brain dither to UV22HR and was surprised to find I chose R8Brain Pro hands-down over UV22HR...  At least on that track I was working on, it was notably less cloudy.  You are making me look good...  I mean sound good!  Money very well spent.

Sonically I am hearing a much more cohesive "stereo image" with a more defined midrange.  The strings of the guitar sound more detailed and harmonically in tune with each other.  This being in the precise phase mode.  The "analogue" phase mode setting has a nice sound with a bit softer upper mid - top end but very good for some projects too.  Worth the $129 download cost.

You´ve got great plugins.  Smart, good looking, sophistique, clear to use, low CPU...etc. but first of all - they got unique style.  Dont´start "copy" any classic effects, tape machines, or just anything.  Just keep your own style and way to make plugins, there is so many copymakers in the business...

All the best for the New Year 2018!
