• the preset I tried was Clarity—just played a mix through it
• and straight away I knew that inside it was a 1973." Brian Transeau "This is a beautiful and thoughtful capture of the essence of the Drawmer sound. Punch
• clarity and character for days. A new go-to for drums. Fantastic." Axwell "It's a very nice better-maker plugin. Great to slap on the master to get your writing session sounding interesting
• but also great for individual busses that needs some life and also in the mastering stage."
