Dear friends,
As stated in our product pages : Once you have purchased or upgraded to V.I.P. Bundle status, all subsequent plug-ins released for the V.I.P. bundle will be free of charge ! In 2012 we will expand the DontCrack V.I.P. bundle to over 40 plug-ins - and as you are a V.I.P. customer we won’t ask you for any more money. Therefore, if you have any suggestions about new plug-ins you'd like us to create, please let us know. Keep in mind that DontCrack plug-ins must be simple and quick to use. So don't ask us to create a new DAW or a complete multi effect plug-in. That is not the point... We look forward to completing our DC V.I.P. Series bundle with nice & easy plug-ins that inspire creativity, not restrain it ! Thanks in advance for your collaboration. Kind Regards - Peter -------------------- Eric Nolot

Hi Nick,
a couple of suggestions for improvements in your existing plug-ins : Octaplexer : could we have a 3 pole switch added, giving the options of the regular 2 octaves below (sub-octaves) mode, 1 octave above / 1 octave below mode, and 2 octaves above (would that be sur-octaves?) mode. Ambiosoniq : could the throw of the graphic EQ faders be extended / enlarged. Whilst the current design is adhering to the general aesthetic principles of P&M, the faders are rather bunched up, which makes them difficult to use when subtle changes are required. I'm slowly getting used to the oblique naming conventions for some of the plug-ins (that's all part of the charm), and I'm gratful that you've taken the time to tag the plug-ins in terms of functionality, or I'd probably never find some of them in Pro Tools. Please don't go too way out there with the names of future plug-ins, as I do sometimes find myself hunting around, and auditioning several of your plug-ins, whilst trying to find a specific one which isn't immediately obvious in terms of it's name - that may just be me, but all those minutes add up at the end of the day, and considering the manifesto of Plug & Mix, it's a little ironic that whilst the plug-ins themselves sound fantastic, and help speed up the workflow, finding the right one can slow things down because of something as simple as the plug-in's name. Love the product though, and really looking forward to the new additions. Cheers! |

Hello Carl, With the Octaplexer, we thought that having the 2 octave spread would be enough as a lot of the instruments that would be treated would into go into a region where they would be conflicting with those all important Bass Drums and Bass guitars and synths. Going down another octave would also put a lot of energy into the sub-sonic range that can cause compressors to react in a way that causes all kinds of weird behaviour and should be filtered out. Most of the instruments we all use are in the lower end of the spectrum and would fall into this category. Yes, Ambiosoniq has a tight arrangement of its faders, could suggest automating them with your DAW? I sometimes do this with other plug-ins that have a busy interface, using the DAW interface to enlarge the parameter in question until it is on a large scale that I could do microscopic edit if I want to, listen back and adjust till its exactly what I want. I'll pass your suggestion to see if there is any way to make it more comfortable. With ProTools now there is a way of grouping the effects according to their "family" EQs, compressors, etc on the inserts, maybe your DAW does this as well as it really helps sorting out your plug-ins when you have a lot. So when you have discovered what they do you can put them a "family" with all the similar "brothers" and "sisters". The good news is that there are another five coming very very soon Stay tuned. Best Regards, Nick |
