How many people for/against Platinum Notes

[Jester]

don't use it on new/ hq tracks. its great for old tracks and tunes in the 192-256 kbps range (in my experience)

For me, one of the best things about it is that it "repairs" clipping. You can really tell the difference before and after. After running it through PN the kicks sound so much cleaner and undistorted. It definitely helps with ear fatigue.

For me it depends what type of tracks I put thru it. Hip Hop I don't like the sound of it. Some electro or really hard house music I think it cleans up the distortion and gives it a warmer sound.

Not convinced. Glad I won a copy rather than buying a copy.

My copy was gifted, I probably wouldn't purchase this with my own money. I think $98 is a bit steep, certainly has its uses though.

deviantdj,

i really like this idea. blind tests are a good thing. however, there's a problem with how you set it up: you need to make the files downloadable in high quality. streaming from soundcloud is always using 128kbps MP3. They re-encode whatever you upload. So the streams are lo-quali (due to low bitrate) and suffer from generation loss (due to re-encoding).

Good to know, if you want I can whip up another test if you guys want. Thanks for the tip.

The fact it supposed to adjust key's that are slightly in correct is a massive no no for me also I've spent years learning how to use eq's properly I don't want a program to do it for me. Another thing about auto programs like this is the fact that sometime's it will improve things but other times it'll just make things worse. Personally if I come across a tune that needs some twiddling I'd rather do it my self in Ableton or Audacity.
