    Great design; but save state issues?
    All of the positive reviews and word of mouth are true, this plugin does sound great, look great and offer a low cpu cost answer to metering + limiting - good luck running multiple FabFilter L2’s otherwise - however, my primary use is just that, multiple tracks needing a shiny and transparent gain control - for some reason as of my writing this, I lose my settings as they were set, seemingly randomly(?) but definitely after reloading a project (Cubasis 3) - not something I’m seeing with my other plugins so hoping it’s a bug that can be fixed on this end and not some weird unidentifiable quirk in iOS14 or Cubasis.

    Love it
    I se it with GarageBand for demos song ideas etc. as well as adding a little flavor to previous projects. Well worth the money.

    Use this on all my projects for a clear crisp signal boost with no unwanted distortion! You won’t be disappointed

    Ok, but no instructions
    More than likely it’s misunderstanding on my part. I was led to think that the program processed my iPhone iPod music. Frankly, not sure how it works and there are no instructions or helps in the program It looks like a lot of thought went into it, but not too much thought in writing up a simple help instructions Show more

    these app are all well made and stable:
    transparent when all u need is clean volume, wavery puddles if yr sends are too dry... envolver is unlike anything else. a really useful tool presented plainly. it's deep, i'm still thinking of new ways to use it. i really doubt you would regret buying, if these apps seem useful or fun to you... =) Show more

    Easy to use app to boost to your sound!! Gives life to things that need it!
    I’m kind of bad at using fancy audio tools like compression, limiters, maximizers, and all of those things. They make a huge difference if you can use them, but I’ve always cared more about other things. So, an app like Maxima by FAC is amazing to me. I have no problem using it and getting good results from it. I’ve only been playing with it the last few hours. I’ve done everything from adding some extra oomph to an old track without taking anything away from it’s original integrity, Giving my Novation Circuit and Volca Beats some extra life they never knew they had and that Volca Beats really needs something like Maxima or it sounds awful. I managed to get a really subtle extra punch on a piano sound that I still had plenty of dynamics and natural sound to work with. And since it’s AU3 you can just toggle it onoff with MIDI commands in a host app like AUM. Seriously, I bought a 6 pack of beer for $9USD drank 2 and they are gone. This app is $7USD and I’ve used it the past few hours and it keeps on giving and is going to give more. I’ll probably put it on the master out most of the time, and then if something in particular needs help there it is. Show more

    FAC makes the difficult task of not overdoing limiting easy as can be...
    For the past 2+ years I’ve used iOS for music production exclusively, putting away my desktop DAW laptop in a closet, there’s been very few desktop quality options for mastering/limiting. My main DAW is Auria Pro, so I do have access to the long time best option iOS offers, the FabFilter desktop quality plugin Pro-L. But many iOS producers don’t use Auria for one reason or another, so they’ve been shut out of using Pro-L as FabFilter’s are exclusive to the Auria environment only. With Maxima, FAC has made the kind of professional, brilliant sounding limiting/compression that pro desktop plugs like Pro-L deliver available to ALL iOS music makers using an AUv3 host (basically all the main iOS DAW’s at this point, including GarageBand). Sound quality, like beauty to the eye, is in the ear of the beholder, so for me I can say without hesitation that Maxima is absolutely in the same league as best limiters/maximizers available on desktop. Lastly, since most streaming services all have loudness level protocols, the “Loudness Wars” of the past 15 years are all but mute. Limiting isn’t about making music as loud as possible, it’s about putting a “glue” over the audio, making each frequency & instrument sit well with all the others. Having a master that sounds present & full is imperative and shouldn’t be confused with just making everything loud. Maxima does this beautifully and without a lot of hassle. Highly recommended.
