It doesn't seem too bad, but it's not worth $70 to me. I will just build my own fx chains/presets in Reaper for free.
Now if it would let you go in and tweak the built fx individually for advanced users and cost closer to $30 then I might consider it.
But... it does do what they designed it for, which is a fast and quick way to audition how a certain mix will sound like without all the hassle of setting up tons of chains yourself. I just don't like how it's tweaking is limited. Because of that it seems it would be more of a headache to even use it. It seems very likely that you would get a sound that you kinda like but needs a bit of tweaking. You then would end up trying to make a fx chain to get the sound you want. It's seems like a huge waste of time.
Although the presets might actually be good. Who knows it could be chromed out with all the sounds your looking for. From a good bit of experience most products presets aren't that good, but considering this is a product that is basically like presets then they might have put in the effort to do 'em up right.
I'm a little divided on it.

Hmmm, i just watched the demo vid and i think this would be a usefull tool for a person who is more musician than engineer/producer, i know i have friends like that, they can really play but have absoultely no interest at all in learning how to use a compressor or EQ etc in a mixing enviornment.
So for people just doing quick demos of there songs this would be usefull in getting a better finished demo, i think.
certainly not for everyone though.
Cheers

Exactly, I'd use it myself as I'm hammering out demos and ruffs for artists. No one wants to spend their hard earn time tweaking shit for no reason.
Enter Waves signature series, which this toontrack thing seems to be VERY similar to.

I want to know if it actually works with reaper (x64) and what the cpu usage is.
I have no issues with doing things the "old fashioned" way but there are some aspects of it that are really good. If you can add multiple instances without it raping the cpu it could simply be a very nice addition.
I don't think 70 bucks is too bad.

It looks like a nice and useful tool for those who are not interested in learning how to mix or need to get 'results' fast (whatever it might be). Saying that, I won't use something like this, it's just not for me I guess.
Good luck with their sales, Toontrack seems to be a nice company.

like tracking to mix, so that you're 90% done when you bring the faders up? printing effects? committing? working within the "restrictions" with the tools you have?
