Put a mix knob slider to bring out the effect of the limiter (should not effect the output gain) I like what he did for the first track but would be nice to dial down the effects
Not needed.. if u Need that comparison mean you dont actually understand what the plugin was doin, maybe Is Better if you use stock plug-in and learn more before searchin the "magic plugin solving problems"
@@Il-Cane As it's a VERY simple thing to do that won't even add more than a couple of seconds to the video while giving people a chance to learn something, I don't understand your point of view at all.
@@Il-Cane What are you talking about?!? It has been proven that our audio memory is extremely limited, that's why every mix or mastering engineers use reference tracks, cause even the best of them loose the sense of how a descent recording should sound like. And in this case with this new plugin we haven´t even learned what it actually does, that's why there are demo versions. Do you actually think a few minutes with a new plugin will leave an solid pattern in your brain of what it does, what it sounds like, what's the artefacts, and so on? No, not you, not George Martin, not anyone in the world can manage that and that's why it´s important to bypass so our ears at least have a chance to notice the difference of sound, treatment of transients, harmonic content and so on.
@@gutterg0d He doesn´t have a clue of what he just wrote. In all music recording history the engineers have used bypass to reset our brain and that's why every single hard or software products have that feature.
Looks matter to some people. I need UIs to inspire me, if it looks janky I don’t want to use it no matter how good it sounds. That said, I do like the look of this plugin. Probably won’t get it, but I don’t mind it.
That's what I thought until I gave it a try. Love the look and feel of it after using it. It's not trying to be hardware, or emulate hardware like every other plugin. This thing is a wild beast, very coloured and full of character. Much like a Tarantino movie, exaggerated but good. The look of it matches the sound of it. These plugins are different to the crowd and the look matches that very sentiment
@@glowaves there is no typical saturators, everything with no dynamic modifications that generates 2nd or 3rd harmonics can be called saturators. This one they chose to generate 3rd harmonics only like the transformer saturation from other plugin manufacturers, only the amount and intensities of the 3rd harmonics are different. For me this one just simply sounds good.
I too thought it was a gimmick by the looks of it. Love the look and feel of it after using it and buying the bundle. Safari plugins are not trying to be hardware, or emulate hardware like every other plugin. This thing is a wild beast, very coloured and full of character. Much like a Tarantino movie, exaggerated but good. The look of it matches the sound of it. These plugins are different to the rest and the look matches that very sentiment. About time somenody made plugins full of colour aoundwise and GUI. Well done Safari, im a fan
Good review. I kinda like the Safari Pedals plugins. And ironically, I first paid attention to them exactly BECAUSE of their graphics. I figure that any company that's willing to have some fun with the looks of their product has the confidence that the performance will stand up to the test. And they sure do. 🙂
If they would have sold this as an ultra transparent limiter with musical program dependency, and a more serious UI, it would have been taken well, more seriously. However, considering that there are tons of limiters marketed exactly as such, it would be guaranteed to be “just another limiter”. Although gimmicky, it does stand out. Im surprised how transparent it is considering how absolutely frenetic the meter is. Perhaps an alternate UI would give the best of both
I’m a fan of the fun - all their “pedals” have the fun factor to go along with how good they sound. That’s why I got into making music to have fun. I crack up when I open them up - and clients love them. Fun and sounds great is a combo that has been missing in the plug-in world
I agree, they should package it differently. I do exactly what you said, and dismiss plugins based on their looks, as if they are doing all this crazy graphics, I automatically think it's because they are trying to make up for a lacking somewhere in the sound. This to me looks like a guitar pedal, not a super musical limiter! It actually sounds really nice. It's not particularly clean, but then what it does add, is really pleasant and musical.
@@safaripedals Yeah it doesn't look bad, and I'm sure certain people prefer colourful plug ins like this. It's just a preferance thing, and some people will like something, and others won't, and things the first person does not like the second might. It doesn't make it right or wrong, just diferant, and I suspect that was what you were going for. 😉 Mby I'm just too boring haha. 😅
@@akagerhard Pretty much. He’s doing an amazing job with his reviews. He deserves more credit cos i grew up with major engineers/musicians and worked with some household names as well. His knowledge shows me that I’ve got a long way to go.
Hmm, yes it sounds alright - I'd prefer a NASA approved functional interface as well as the graphic dreams skin, which should only appear when the turbo button is activated - no turbo button? Why? - still in the real world this could be a serious useful piece of kit
Seems a waste of good review time on something this infantile. Aren't there better/serious plugins one can review? Seems like yet another "tool" that will allow the not so skilled to make mincemeat out of more audio mixes.
You couldn't be more wrong. Demo it and see, it sounds fantastic and I'm comparing it to Fabfilter, Goodhertz and PSP Xenon. It stands up well and for me has more character. :)
Thank you Wytse for the in depth review and for your honest opinion! 🙏
In-depth?

That's actually a fantastic behaving limiter. colour me impressed!
Thanks man!
this gui makes me happy it's not depressing like as majority of plugins and sound great 👍
thanks!!!
Love the look. like the old days of 32 bit independent plugins
the design looks like a pedal, therefor safaripedals, pedal interface, makes sense? i like it!
Thanks man
Would have been cool to hear the bypassed version a couple of times in comparison - otherwise nicely done as always!

I kinda like the stompbox feel it has. Going to download the demo and give it a go. Thank you for the review 😊
Thanks! 😅
Ive been excited about this one...Ive been seeing it all over the internet. Thanks for the info and good fun!!!
Thanks!!
Been using this bundle lately and it just sounds amazing, the limiter just replaced PRO-L for me when mixing rock music.
What‘s wrong with all of you complaining about the LOOK of a plugin? Take your ears, demo it and have a listen. :)

@@svenmifypeople don’t look at your plugin while they listen to your songs…
@@SuperBen35 obviously. But why would I care about what other people think or do? For me it’s about the process
@@SuperBen35 No, but you do look at your plugin while you work with it and that matters.

I love the GUI!!!
I think more people would dismiss it if it had NOT looked like a toy and instead looked like every other compressor out there.
As a pedal lover and mastering engineer I approve this plug-in entirely.
Hehe thank you!! 😅
As a plugin* lover
@@taxmoneyyy Wut?
Thanks for the honest review, like usual. It looks like a pinball machine, but sounds like a boutique effect. 👍
The saturation on this thing is the best sounding pure 3de order harmonics generator I've used so far.
Thank you. !! 🎉
Hi, what makes it different from typical saturators?
@@glowaves there is no typical saturators, everything with no dynamic modifications that generates 2nd or 3rd harmonics can be called saturators.

I had the same face when you started messing around with the Width parameter around the 3:00 minute mark lol😹
Looks like a pinball machine
This must be the stompbox plugin version of the FMR RNC! "Is it it on?" :D
I Love the interface. Getting it.
I'm still kind of confused on how the CrossOver works in relation to the LF/HF Gain, can someone explain it to me?

Didn't expect a limiter with attack and release but it sounds really good.
Also beautiful track as always, anybody knows the name ?
