We can do HD, but it seemed a little overkill for a tutorial.

Come on guys, 360p???

SoundToys' plug ins are just amazing!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!

@soundtoys Well audio sounds crap at 360p at least do 480p so you can hear what it sounds like.

@soundtoys Then do it! If it's overkill for someone, he can lower quality.. but even on 360 still sounds ill ;)

I want the video in 1080p but run the video frames through decapitator and Devil-Loc please because they add colours nobody has invented yet.

I'd like to see some videos in HD also, at least 720p.

Are you aware that everything is over gaining? The hi-hat and snare starts sounding shit when you turn the drive up so much, it just sounds crush and bitty, are you using a limiter? Because when you do put the drive on, the dynamics completely disappear..i think its really important to show possible customers the best possibility quality of the sound, because it can make a big difference.

@soundtoys In my experience one of the biggest benefits of uploading HD video for audio-centric content is that your video will be encoded with a different profile that includes much higher quality audio (on the HD versions). Sometimes it makes a big difference for pro audio stuff.

Thanks for all your helpful vids, I use Soundtoys on almost every track I've done since I bought the native bundle.

Nice, but can't get it to work in FL Studio 10 :/
