"I love my outboard BBE 482 buth this plugin is a DOG."

Feature:
The presets (bass, guitar, vocals...) are very helpful when using on individual tracks. Gives you a good starting point... Very simple interface. Easy to use.

Quality:
Its software? I guess quality was High in that it doesn't crash. I utilizes very little CPU overhead. But It's effect doesn't measure up to the BBE 882, 482 or any other outboard unit. So I guess I would give it a 10 for crash proof solid code and a 4 for achieving good sonic results. (Average: 7)

Value:
I'll use it, but it won't be one of my goto plug-in.

Desirability:
Yawn

Sound:
I use a BBE 482 in my PA system. It puts a final polish and clarity to my live mix. (Hard Rock Band) In my studio I have a full digital mixer connected via 3 ADAT light pipe connections to my computer which is running Cubase SX 2.0. The plug-in is just ok. It provides a much more subtle effect. Too subtle. I have used it on individual tracks and as a mastering tool during final mix-down. Its ok... Just didn't give me the polish I was looking for.

Support:
Didn't need support. This area should have a NA (Not applicable) although it is so easy to use I guess that is the best support you can get. So I give it a 10.

Overall:
This is a very mediocre product. No matter how good the quality and support are, if the product doesn't accomplish it's sonic mission, its a dog. Sorry BBE, I love my 482 but this plug-in is a dog.

"BBE Sonic Maximizer"

Feature:
Three knobs,but they do the job.

Value:
Could've been a little cheaper but the sound makes up for it.

Sound:
Way better than I expected.I would disagree that it's a "DOG" of a plugin and it definitely compares to the outboard versions.

Support:
Haven't needed any.

Overall:
It's a simple tool that sounds very sweet and cut's down on the need to EQ.I sometimes can drive myself nuts trying to fix muddy recordings and just end up over EQ'ing everything.This has helped me a great deal.
