Great Job over all and again!

Hey durfnap,
thanks a lot for your appreciation, you’re welcome .)
Best, Markus.
Since I use Qtractor I use the CALF plugin suite. The graphical user interface is not only eye candy, it helps a lot to set thresholds in compressors and limiters.
CALF EQ and multiband limiter replace now JAMIN completely. They add some sparks and decent loudness without changing the overall sound.
Thanks for this great plugin suite!
Regards
Holger
Hey Holger,
I’m very happy to hear that these plug-ins obtain such a lot of acceptance.
Cheers, Markus.
Me too…ahemm..mooo too!
Congratulations on this release! I love Markus‘ demonstration videos on YouTube, and I think the Calf suite is really among the best LV2 plugins out there. Really inspiring for musicians!
Looking forward to meet you soon in Mainz :-).
Thanks,
Frank
One more happy camper here! It seems that most people are bitchin‘ around with positive feedback being a scarce resource on the internet… therefore chiming in with durfnap and Markus – CALF is awesome and a pleasure to experiment with and especially look at! BIG Thanks!!!!
Hey Frank, hey eggsperde,
vielen Dank! Seriously, the acceptance of our software is worth a bazillion bucks.
Looking forward to meet you @ LAC 2015 – Chrischi and Krzysztof will be there, too.
Best, Markus.
