Stillwell Audio Plug-in's

Post by jbyerly1 »

After going through the website from seeing them mentioned here I must say they seem very cool for very little money compared to some of the name brand options.

Do they sound good? Work well? Does DP play nice with them?

The latest versions work in Lion.

It is nice to be able to try them all and buy only the ones that are useful to you.

I've got the Rocket compressor, and use it a lot. Might purchase the Vibe EQ at some point. I tried some of their other stuff as well and it all seems like quality stuff. Price is right. Sounds great. Go for it.

Like others, I use The Rocket a lot in my rig. Works well with DP.

The Stillwell Horizon plug is outstanding when mastering. Beats most others IMO.

+1 for Stillwell. Bomardier works great here. Looking into the Transient Monster and Event Horizon. and their Neve emulation looks to be to pretty cool too

I like the way they work and sound, but I find they hog CPU power, and can drag a DP session down on my system if I get too many going. If they would do away with the eyeball porn graphics and give us 'just the facts', they might be a lot more efficient.
