This is not a rant against you @allank, I'm just commenting on the point above as it's central in the video:
My biggest issue with this video is that he's missing what the parts of the plugin are about. The one knob (actually three) action of the compressors is a selling point. He also judged the leveler by listening to drums, which is ridiculous.
And about the EQ, one of the points is the dynamic Q when you gain up/down a frequency, making a sharper Q. This EQ has a completely different philosophy when it comes to how one find and correct frequencies. And IMO, the hi-pass filter is great, it's so easy to get a clear mix in the bottom because of it.
IMO, when I judge by the video contents, he has no idea about why the compressors, filters, and the 32C EQ are designed the way they are and he just wants them to be like the stuff he's used to. The way the compressors and the 32C EQ are supposed to be used can not be compared to the other stuff he prefers in that video. When he is unsure what kind of channel strip the plugin is for, he clearly shows that he does not know what he's reviewing.
