Thanks for the review, Weaver. I already copped Smart Comp 2, just wanted your opinion on it. Now please make a video Waves Harmony and Antares Harmony Engine
Have you ever tried Fircomp2? It's the cleanest compressor I ever tested, I compared to a few comps I have here (Pro-C 2, Smart:comp 2 btw, etc) and it had the lowest noise floor and distortion BY MILES. Also, it costs like 12$ dol or something.
@@remixedcat That's cool, then you can test it yourself. The main difference I found relates to latency, harmonic distortion and noise floor. It's basically the cleanest digital compressor in the block and basically works at 0 latency (unless you enable lookahead). It's the ultimate digital compressor imo. Could have more features, like Pro-C 2 or Smart:comp 2 have, but it is superior soundwise. Of course it isn't a gigantic difference tho, the aforementioned compressors are obviously awesome choices nevertheless.
you're expecting a bit too much from the autogain feature. for simple distortion algorithms it's easy to autogain the thing pretty much perfectly, but anything where stuff evolves over time, like a compressor with its envelope follower, can't just autogain based on the input parameters to yield the best gain. but if you start measuring the input signal's rms or lufs you get subtle volume fluctuations on the entire output and they are not even coming in time with the parts where they are needed. that's why no one is making autogain features that are as accurate as various loudness meters you can use to check your levels for spotify and stuff
I agree with you, but then you have stuff like Presswerk (from U-he) which is capable to gain match perfectly and instantly. I have no idea how, it just works.
Can you not delta mode plugins in other DAW's? just curious because I can do that with any plugin with Alt+left click on a certain button on the main plugin window in the DAW i use.
Hot take, its your moral obligation to use cracked versions of plugins that use ilok. Ilok does NOTHING expect make it harder for legit users, every single plugin that uses ilok protection has been cracked, so what is it doing besides being a pain in my ass? Nothing, that's what, I have quite a few plugins that have the license stuck on another computer and it's a huge pain to transfer them, so I just crack those plugins.

I watch ur stuff cause your a cool dude and you seem like a human more than a producer. Keep doin your thang
finally, this is my next plugin for sure thank you for the review. hopefully i can save up before it goes back to normal price

I use harmony engine often. Haven't tried the new waves one yet though. Maybe soon?
YES!!!
You did the "black and white dry mix" meme!!
Now all it needs is Mangler
Ohgodno
Gengar is prolly gonna mangle the unison audio hq
UI was way too complicated for me 😵💫😵💫
Nah it ain't that bad, if you can figure out how to get 800k subs this shouldn't be a problem
@@Weaverbeats 😂
@@Weaverbeatslmao
Yikes 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Tone Projects Unisum is still the best.

Gotta check that one out. Haven't heard of it tbh.
How is fircomp2 compared to this?? I got a Linux beta

Good point, it isn't a big enough deal to make the plugin bad though. Just think it could maybe be improved a bit.
"Read from the website Beats"
Sometimes you gotta read it verbatim 😂
Damn that beat is ♨️
thank you man!
Beahahaha, thank you for your review. Definitely good explainer bro!
Paramedictr8ckd the what now!!?! 🤣😂👏🏿👏🏿
Really wish it had a Linux version!!! This looks awesome!!!!
Being a Linux user is masochistic 😵
@@Weaverbeats it can be sometimes 😿😿😿
30 day trial you say????? Def checking this out
smart comp looks insane! too bad i'm broke af :P
30 day trial, or you could sail the seas
@@Weaverbeats true, but ofc you don't condone that 😉
Smart limit is the 🐐
What was the CPU hit like? Or did I miss that bit of the review?
Didn't talk about it but it seems pretty minor to me. I had like 10 instances of it running at once on my computer with no issues.
@@Weaverbeats Thanks.
@@RJ1J Thanks.

Is that Cubase? I don't think any other daw has that option. Ableton definitely doesnt.
@@Weaverbeats Reaper, I just looked it up and Cubase does not have this either. They added it to Reaper around 1 year ago.

Wait your not hating was you paid to make this video lol Nah just playing good video bro.
They paid me 3 dollars 😎 ill be taking this to the bank. Cya later suckers 😎
The hating didnt feel as massive for this vid...
i tried, but it was actually a good plugin 😭
@@Weaverbeats Its ok, next time just hate twice as much and itll even out! ;)
Nooooooooooooooo. Whyyyyyyyyyyyy.
No mo comp, limit. Eqs. Kick rocks
