Voxengo TEOTE

I've found TEOTE to be a very interesting and useful tool which allows me to quickly pinpoint issues within my mixes.  The configuration parameters are essential to me as it allows fine tuning my sound rather than relying on a generic profile or preset sound.

In my experience, I've found it most useful to place on the master bus after the external compressor and have it reduce problematic regions (limiting how much gain can be applied to 2-3 dB) before going into a transparent software limiter.

Voxengo have the gold standard of user interfaces in my opinion - clean, straightforward, no-nonsense.

This is the underlying magic that most of the online 'mastering with AI' uses but it gives you access to the real params, very knob is important.  Time spent here will pay off well, and it tightens everything up in a way you weren't expecting.  Hidden gem.

I thought I'd drop you a note just to say that I have no negative issues with the plugins.  I like using all the ones I have and love the sound.  I find them easy to use and understand.  The pricing seems very fair to me as well.  I also wanted to especially note the look of the plugs.  I prefer the straight forward layouts as opposed to very elaborate GUI's or emulations of "vintage" looking devices.
