this plugin is a winner it adds harmonics and does a very unique thing when used on a vocal it can bring out frequency's without needing eq or compression on drums it can act as a transient designer it is extremely versatile there are 9 algorithms right now to choose from and each one has a very different response and curve one very cool feature is the ability to mix or blend the wet to dry so you can strap the plug across the channel and blend to taste as an rtas plug i found it efficient (enough) this plugin is well worth your time to demo and try i do not think there is another out there right now that does what this does

i have found the same thing ross.
i am new to mixing totally in the box...and have been searching for plugs that can give me the gunk that i get on a desk.
like the mcdsp analog channel....massey tape head...and the crane song phoenix...all do cool things.
this urs things does stuff nothing short of a tape, or good analog gear does.
i have been loving the plug on damn near everything. always have it on my stereo buss of late.
REALLY like what it can do to a vocal track....love the mix control....i just dial in the amount of saturation that sounds cool...and play with the mix control until the vocal pops out in a cool way.
this thing is also insane for distortion on drums, guitars...etc. if i want something really extreme, i will use a sans amp, my culture vulture...or even a pair of overdriven daking modules...but overall...this plug is knocking me out.
i have not had any power problems...using it rtas on a digi le rig. mac g5 computer...but then again...i dont use alot of plugs.
last mix was 32 channels....had 14 tracks of drums all with a urs saturation on em...as well as 3 drum busses, guitar buss, bass buss, ld vocal, bup vocal buss, and the main mix buss.
its a great plug....hate to say it...and pardon the lame use of the word...but its VERY ANALOG sounding.
really.
just my 2 cents.
best,
