I've heard a lot of good things about this plugin, should I get it? What are your opinions?
Bearing in mind my entire music making budget spent so far is about £200, that might be a bit expensive.Was great at first, hardly use it on anything anymore. EQ + Soundgoodizer does the job pretty well add a camelphat and/or PSP Vintage warmer to the mix and you're laughing!
Oh man, Sausage Fattener and Soundgoodizer....where do I begin on this subject?!
In my honest opinion I think they are completely over rated, and a quick fix to make something "Sound" bigger. But in reality I believe they can mask underlying issues within a mix, causing problems later on. I used to always want to use something like these back when I was 1st starting out, because I wanted that immediate Awesomeness to my tracks! But over time I've found I can get a bigger cleaner sound by use of careful EQ and level monitoring, and then get the fullness I desire with parallel compression and some subtle multiband dynamics at the end of the mixdown process.
Each to their own I guess, but in all honesty, I wouldn't use Sausage Fattener if it was given to me for free.
Cpmpletely agree with this. I've always though of sausage fattener as a lazy plugin, like soundgoodizer. There plugins bought/used by people that give instant results with no knowledge or experience needed. What you end up with is basically a saturated and compressed sound that isnt tailored to your needs and isnt necessarily beneficial to the track or your own learning experience.Oh man, Sausage Fattener and Soundgoodizer....where do I begin on this subject?!

eq post sausage fattener will not change any limiting the plugin may be doing.Yeah definitely, its well worth it for the £20 or so it is.
One thing about it though is that it limits the shit out of the sound when you apply it, but if you dont want the limiting and just want the saturation, then you can put an eq after it in the fx chain and it removes the limiting
I'm pretty sure this is Receptor's super-secret mixdown recipe.
another?And I thought this was gonna be another thread about penis enlargers..
