FINALLY!!! It took over a decade to fulfill this promise, but better late than never. Nothing could match how loud the original could make a master, but the sonic quality was kinda nasty. Hope this changes with v2. Thanks… downloading now!!
Great review. Funny because I actually emailed Slate a couple weeks ago to ask when they would be releasing FG-X2, and to make some feature requests more suited for mastering. They said it would be out soon and I'd be super happy with the update. Looks like they kept their word...and its free for all FG-X owners (which is respectable given how long they made us wait).
Cool vid, I"m a mix/mastering engineer. I love the Slate Limiter but I never use the compressor, I don't care for the compressor and choose to use other compressors and or parallel compression befpre the FGX 2 like , SSL Bus, Fairchild etc...But its worth it just for the Limiter.
Nice demonstration! Constant gain seem to not really work 100% well enough, imo Fabfilter limiter works better with that, but also not perfect. FGX2 seems to add a db or or loudness according my analyzer. I understand that as a plugin company you would err on louder than quieter of course. But I would only rely on offline lufs integrated normalization to A/B loudness, because it's kinda impossible to A/B if the plugin is not taking the whole song from start to finish in consideration, and what the tweaks would do to the whole song.
Im very curious what you think about the FG-X-2 vs your Bettermaker Limiter. This plugin seem to have a bit from al the popular limiters as the Fabfilter Limiter/Ozone 10 the Loudnessmeter looks a bit like the Nugen.
Question, inside of Studio One, if you’re mastering a project. Would you put this on each track or on the master channel ? To get the project to sound cohesive ?
Very nice indeed but it requires an iLok USB dongle for lifetime license.....that really sucks in 2022 and I hate subscriptions for VST plugins, when I really like then as my Go-Tos e.g. for my mastering chain
@@TzoHill From my perspective, In Ozone it is hard to get a good sounding. It offers really nice Dynamic EQ's and limiters but compared to FG-X2 the difference between these two is immersive. If you love to tweak your track a bit more you can stay with Ozone but I can assure that you have to know what to do in it to not sacrifice any transients or witness any distortion related to the Loudness.
@@TzoHill It seems like that so far. Just try it and determine what you need. If FGX benefits the way you want, use it but remember that even if you use it you need to make in-depth tweaks and adjustments to your track to make it better. Unfortunately mastering process isn’t easy 😂😉
I think you are hurting your audio...seems like you are beginner and dont know what are you doing...or what to do to make the sound more ummppphhh....its hurt...😂
