If this thread is going to live on infamy, I may as well repost the video in the OP

Ah come on. Give him a break.

Jim is a pretty well known and prolific poster at TOP™. I've enjoyed many of his posts over there, over many years and have enjoyed his playing on YT. I don't think he's shilling at all. It's a gear forum.

This place could do with a few more members on the jazzier side in addition to all the rock dudes.

So the UI is bad and people say the UI is bad and now the review is gone? He didn’t make the plugin, nobody said the playing was bad. A couple of knobs somehow didn’t recognize the guy’s name even though he’s been on forums as a useful contributor for like 20+ years, so yeah, that’s dumb of those couple of knobs, but this is silly.

Why delete the post?

Nothing wrong with saying that the GUI looking like a freeware 90’s plugin when that’s precisely how it looks

I don't care what people think of the UI. I believe that function is more important than form but people are entitled to believe whatever they want. I just saw the multiple ways the thread was going and decided that this was not a conversation I wanted to be a part of. This appears to a forum where the OP can't be deleted or I'd have just deleted the entire thread and the whole thing would have been forgotten but this was the best I could do. I was asked to check out the site. I've now checked it out. Perhaps I'll try some of the other parts of the forum at some point but what I've seen here feels awfully familiar.

If you don’t care what people think about the GUI, why not just ignore or look over those posts? Naive to think people won’t mention it, and honestly, a GUI like that is always going to get mentioned by someone who sees it for the first time.

If the plugin is that good, then the discussion would move on pretty quickly. Nuking it straight away at an obvious observation just screams that there’s an agenda to steer the narrative.

You are assuming facts not in evidence. Let me repeat this AGAIN ... I HAVE NO VESTED INTEREST IN THIS PRODUCT. Seriously. I got exactly what every beta tester got: a free copy of the prelease software. I have no agenda and my preference would be just to have this go away.

And I will also repeat for the third time. I was asked to check out the site. I have now checked out the site. It didn't go especially well.
