Make Believe Studios Make Believe Bundle v1.1.5-R2R

their Sontec plugin has weird harmonic generation that creates some sort of inharmonic feeling when you use it. Different from the usual 3rd order harmonic heavy style saturation known for solid state, which makes everything edgier and brighter, the Sontec plugin doing the opposite of warmth, cold, for lack of better word. I think it has to do with the harmonic generation and absence of filtering at the nyquist that suppose to control it somehow around the highest frequency range. It's not aliasing but just weird Inharmonic vibe. They also didn't add the noise floor, which makes everything feel static. You can compare it to the IK Multimedia version that has it, you can feel some sort of glow the moment you add the plugin without doing anything, it affects the harmonics movement to mimic how the hardware respond.

It probably wont matter much during mixing when the signal is at low volume but on mastering when everything is peaking near 0dbfs, the difference is huge. The track feels better off without their Sontec plugin. The hardware though, mastering engineers add it just for the fuck of it because it makes thing better. Quite the opposite.

If the dev cant even get their flagship plugin right, I doubt that these other plugin can do any better.
