Uniq plugins with a special character.

After installing the plugin, I tried it on a mix that was already finished, but I reset it back to the gain staging point so the balance was still in place. Using this plugin, I discovered colors and textures I had never considered before. With just a few knob turns, I can easily shape the overall tone of a sound, and the results are often surprising. I’ve had lots of “happy accidents” with it and I’m glad to have it in my collection. Another real MixLand highlight – thanks! (;
