Yeah, I was thinking it would have been nice if they had done an A/B with the volume leveled between the tracks. This plugin is a subtle effect as it is. With the volume not being leveled, most people that get it will be disappointed...even though it actually is helping the track. But...marketing gets in the way of demonstrating the actual effect.
Thank u for the gift, highly appreciated. There's a knob for leveling/compensating gain. Folks, watch the whole video, it is not a plug-in that only raises volume, it adds harmonics that's why it sounds louder. Simple, and great job Waves!
To those here who think they know what this does only by listening to a video: 1) It doesn't just make things louder - after adjusting the output gain, the tone is still different (and better, to my ears). 2) Auto gain compensation sounds like a nice idea, but personally I'd rather adjust that myself rather than assume an automatic method is doing it in the way I'd like. 3) It's free! You can test it yourself and see how you like it. Through actually using it, I am impressed with it and can see myself using it a lot.
It's called marketing. They could add this. But the way the volume increases when you use the plugin makes you automatically think that it sounds "better".
@@TinoSchulz1990 Yes. Just tried it. It can noticeably increase or decrease the loudness. I'm sure @Waves already has code libraries to add loudness compensation, I hope it will be added in a future version of the plugin.
This looks useful. Thanks and also thanks for showing (at 4:00) how the saturation effect increases presence and even perceived loudness, but doesn't really impact Peak & RMS Levels. That's great. Can't wait to try it out.
Nice demo, with all those guitars in the background would have been nice to hear it on a rock track or something different to the style of the 3 tracks in this video. But can't wait to try it out. Thanks.
Matching loundness is essential. Anything other than that feels like an attempt to cheat. Of course peak levels don't change as the plugin gets engaged as its compressing and saturating. But lufs and rms does rais. You need to level match.
There's no better. They both do different things. If you put it at first you'll eq and compres the saturated signal, the tube sat will react differently to the audio. If you'd like to first do some surgical work like cutting away some frequencies, you can put the tube sat after. I use both ways.
when making a tutorial video. it's better to use a musical style other than hip-hop. The over use of electronic instruments will make the the effect of plugins unrecognizable.
Too bad you cant link the drive and Output knob…Well, actually you can by holding cmd/ctrl but then they turn in the same direction making it even louder 😅 I found that approx Value 1 on the Drive = -1 db gain reduction on the output…. Also i feel sad you dont have low/high pass filters in the plugin :/ Am i asking for too much? 😂
@@jeremylarue4503 we may not be on the same page here. What can you do in reaper or any daw? I spoke about plugin features, not daw features. I spoke about low/high pass on the plugin. I am aware you can always do parallel processing. But they gve away this plugin for you to feel how good it is, so wave can sell another bbtubes plugin that obtains all features :) marketing…
You can link plugin parameters in reaper. You can create auto gain by linking drive to output, and reverse it. And anything else you can think to do with linked parameters. That's what I was referring to. Feel like a fanboy bringing Reaper up all the time. But it can do a lot of super useful things.
@@jeremylarue4503 interesting, i didnt know about that. Its ok to mention Reaper, i moved from Cubase to Reaper because i really see t as superior comparing to Cubase. I needed some time to get use to it and customize everything, but after that…o boy, thats what you call a proper daw! And for what money!? Silly…
Already have a Gain plugin as stock. Gonna have to pass on this one even tho it's free. Looking forward to Dan Worrall to put this under the microscope.
It saturates too. Not just gain. But since it's waves it aliases quite a bit at higher settings... not very audible on low freq content, but not good for cymbals etc. Not bad for a free plugin.

nice! finally a plugin that makes everything 5 db louder !!!!

yes, a good way to make music more unlistenable on the ears. well done!
Add some in parallel and blend in to taste. I think its just another tool in the arsenal 🥸👍🏾

Everything sounds better louder . The active/bypass comparison whould have been level macthed so we can really hear what the plug in is doing😔

Agreed, warms things up nice on "Soft" and adds little bit of color otherwise. I like it. Quick & effective
Right on!
The unbypassed segments are louder, because of the added overtones. You have to level-match the samples first, before you can make a judgement.
Thank you for big help! Free plugins are always great! And plugins of waves are just always great
Great, but what's missing is an integrated loudness compensation.

are there any plugins that integrate loudness compensation in the market?
Use the output
@@s.r.b.4582 yes. Of course.

Glad it was helpful! :)
Thanks for the presentation! This is exactly what I need to lift the TUBA.👌🤩
Amongst a comment section full of complaints THANK YOU FOR THE FREE PLUG IN!
I don't know y waves plugins are strong I love it keep up waves
The price is right. Thanks, Waves.
this video was so helpful and so well-made! thank you for showing so many examples!
BROOO i cant, i missed it, i was so hyped for the plugin and waited for it. Now promotion is over, i watched at the wrong mail. I cant dudeee :,)
Took decapitator off my 808 and used Lil Tube instead 🔥🔥🔥🔥much better now in my opinion
Damn need a tracklist for those tunes! All fire.
Automatic gain compensation please.
The songs in all these sessions are so dope, can we get some links ?
Nice demo, with all those guitars in the background would have been nice to hear it on a rock track or something different to the style of the 3 tracks in this video. But can't wait to try it out. Thanks.
So happy he brought up those meters. At first I was like "So It's just a gain knob...!?!?"
Look at that Tee.. That is one sweet Tee!!
Waves audio is the best🥰
Again watched it a second time ...the eq boasts are so musical

Level compensation missing AGAIN
just started working with it i love it #waves
Where's the gain compensation switch?
fire to the world
thx waves for the free love
does it have auto gain? otherwise you can be fooled by the volume difference easily
thanx for the freebie,sounds great
Awesome demo!!
this will be nice to add after all the plugins and mixes
will be god to automate the drive knob to make a creative mix
Why You did not make a level matched A/B ?
When should I give a gain stage when using this plugin.
I just got the free little radiator from soundtoys too, which ones better?
Lil - only for lil people?
Why is autogain so hard to implement on plugins??? 😤
they ignore it on purpose so they attract all those newbies who don't understand what actually is going on :D
Put span after it and you'll make informed decisions
@@Astrovic1 i think so, the industry is dumbing down for newbies
very nice sounds plugin!
where on the chains was the plugin placed first or last ?
Why am I adjusting the volume myself ? I want to hear the difference… if u make it louder people perceive it as better … Still like the plugin tho
Anyone know the song at 1:35 ?
Would have liked to hear it on a Smashing Pumpkins style track.
LIT LIT LIT 100%
Wow
On a track, At which point in the fx chain is it best to insert this, right at the start before eq, compression or after at the end of the chain?
I would say after, but try it out and see/hear out you like it better
There's no better. They both do different things. If you put it at first you'll eq and compres the saturated signal, the tube sat will react differently to the audio. If you'd like to first do some surgical work like cutting away some frequencies, you can put the tube sat after. I use both ways.
Its all about preference there’s no right answer to it
Always best 💯🎵🚀
But this can also achieved with devil lock from soundtoys
Yeah but they sound totally different. I found this one to sound much better.
David Tampong? Is that you?
Where's gain matching
А громкость после компенсировать не хочется ? Сравнение вообще не объективное.
It seems similar to Soundgoodizer in FL Studio. Or am i wrong?
Hate how companies always advertise plugins without gain staging the A/B
That beat….. !
Is this as good as Little Radiator?
na but Lil Refrigerator is cooler
good to put on the bass buss or the drum buss?
Hey Mandy, Lil' Tube is good for EVERYTHING ;) Try it out for yourself: waves.com/free
in the 60s and 70s people put tubes everywhere :) guess we can do the same now
MAYBE SIMILAR LIKE "LIL RADIATOR" BY SOUNTOYS😊😊
I downloaded that one. Sounds great but there's no way to balance the output volume. I'll probably stick with Decapitator. :)
Too bad it’s only available in V14
Is this a Kelela exclusive? 👀
For iOS ?
On that drum loop - great. Now it sounds like it’s clipping 🙄
The link hasn't come yet and it's been well past the "2-4hrs" delivery time...?
Hi there, please get in touch with our Orders department who will be able to assist with this: www.waves.com/contact-orders

That sound similar to Abbey Road Saturator
💯
Sounds louder.

You can do it in reaper. Any plugin. It has 100x the features of any other daw. Not to be one of those reaper guys. But it's useful. Worth trying.

What is that song in the beginning of the video with the female vocals? Roughly starting at the 1:37 marker point.....That song is dope.......
Midrange booster
. . .and that's it? How does just boosting the mid-range make it warmer 🤔
rip volume compensation
But Szechuan saturator is already free 😎
Yo David where is the studio located at ?? I’d love to work witchu bro 😎
Hahahaha, it just makes it Louder, the oldest Trick in the Audio Industry.
Obviously worth every penny. Though to be honest there's nothing on this planet that could possibly make that crap sound palatable.
Already have a Gain plugin as stock. Gonna have to pass on this one even tho it's free. Looking forward to Dan Worrall to put this under the microscope.
Don't you have plugins you want to donate?

Hoooooooly f@$÷ ...its so easy
No automatic gain compensation? Come on Waves, you can do better than that.
you overdo all 3 sounds too hard imo
Very unprofessional, no gain matching in the video. Also no autogain function.
very nice setup for the shoot, absolute garbage presentation. didn't even do basic leveling for a valid A B comparison as other comments said.
hard pass... my hype wasted is immeasurable.
Great 💯💪
