Just a heads up that I think these are really useful. Snapback ($29) does something where it really gives the drums more punch and also creates more space for everything else at the same time. Pretty easy to use too. I've been testing Process Audio's Ripple Delay plugin too ($50). Tried it against all sorts of stuff. Soundtoys Effects Rack, Echo Farm's various modes, Cooper Timecube, EC-300, Ultrareverb, Bucket-500, UAD Precision Delay, a lot of the best stuff out there. Ripple is bigger and smoother than all of them and fits into a mix about 95% as well as Echo Farm. Could be 100% if I tweaked it more. Also tough to match it adding different plugins for phaser, flanger, etc. This plugin in so deep. You've got all these extra fx you can add plus layers of menus to tweak on top of that. The presets are very usable too. There's a phaser, flanger, ensemble, chorus, reverb, eq, and filters. Then you can arrange them in any order you want.

I downloaded the Cableguys Snapback demo afer watching Dan Worrall's enthusiastic review on his YouTube channel:
I initally thought it might be useful, but that I'd probably find it too fiddly and time-consuming to use in practice. However, when performing the final tweaks on a track a few days later I thought my electronic kick sound could benefit from a harder hitting attack, so I tried Snapback again, and within a couple of minutes it proved to be perfect for the task. So much so that I subsequently added Snapback to my snare and hihat sounds on the same track, which added depth and extra detail to my mix.
It's a clever utility that's proven more versatile and quicker to use in practice than I was expecting, so I bought it at the current bargain price of $29!

Once you figure out the right settings to use on one track, you can then stick it on everything and it works. Even on mixes where all I have is some karaoke file or some instrumental lossy thing someone downloaded off Youtube, it can be really helpful if you set the threshold high enough on the trigger. |
