"The Curve Bender and Zener Limiter are my go to drum parallel devices for drums in all my mixes. They are both here in one plug-in. The perfect combo for piano sounds. From lo-fi to hi-fi and open, it’s easy to achieve in this all in one plug-in. A great combination for backing vocals as well."
Joe Chiccarelli

"I finally can marry these two plugins into one instance on my master bus. Just going through the Zener adds a nice warmth and the smoothness of the Curve Bender helps get me that fat low end and sparkly top end."
