Flux:: have published a very informative videoof what can be done with BitterSweet Pro.

"With BitterSweet Pro v3, Transients and Sustain can be amplified or attenuated simultaneously or individually, and it can process either all components (Main) in one, or process the Mid (Center) or the Side (Stereo) parts of the sound independently.
With the Mode parameter you can adjust this, and how BitterSweet Pro is processing the material. In this first Video Tutorial we’re doing a walkthrough of the different Mode settings and how they work."

Very cool video. Thanks for pointing it out. I'm not sure this should be moved to the top of my list, but it does sound good.

You should get a commission, Piet. wow, sounds great!

Yikes! I did the demo and then forget and never tried it. Hate to waste $100 but there's nothing better out there should I just go for it? The example video was really good but you never know.

Sonnox has something similar called ENVOLUTION https://www.sonnox.com/plugin/oxford-envolution. However, it does cost quite a bit more than the intro price on BSPro.

What's happened to Flux? This Flux Center thing is a nightmare. It keeps telling me I'm offline when I absolutely am online.
No way can I trial this Bittersweet Pro plugin and I'll just have to revert to the legacy versions of the other Flux plugins I have already.
Oh! I'm on Windows 10

Anyone using this regularly? I missed out on the intro offer for their studio session pack ($150) but I liked some of those plug ins enough to pull the trigger at double the price. Just checking to see if anyone uses them...

I use this quite a lot and love it. I've basically ditched other transient designers after getting this.

Thanks. Bought em today...
