![]() I have both, and both are fine for most people, but AD is the one I ended up committing to (i.e. ![]() give us importable noise samples, everyone else has it, heh. That being said, RC-20 has been actively updated to fix issues with macOS Monterey and such, but I josh the team time to time for some big-ass new features. If you know another plugin that operates along a similar "master morpher" principle, please let me know! I've looked at various RC-20 copycats and they do NOT have Magnitude. The tilt EQ inside of it is pretty sweet and simple, too, along with the filter for tone-shaping. This is also great for DJ kill switch-style stuff, where you have your whole mix (or a submix like drums) going through RC-20, then you automate a whole bunch o' stuff with Magnitude. ![]() ![]() Or if you want your mix to go to hell and get all warbly and mangled during one section, before resurfacing to full strength again. It also means that RC-20 is superb for doing artifact-free transition effects, like if you have bandpassed tinny drums that gradually grow beefier over time - just slide Magnitude. Again, more transparent and smooth than mere wet/dry, since it's actually morphing between everything. This also means that it's really, really simple to make a "heavy distortion" effect a lot milder proportionally, just by moving Magnitude to the left. Which means that it's SUPER-EASY to control everything at once with one slider - which can be mapped to a macro knob in Ableton or whatever. So, you know how a lot of effects plugins have a wet/dry knob that just crossfades between signals? Magnitude is NOT that - rather, it interpolates values smoothly for about every sensible automatable parameter in the plugin. Read on and you might get some ideas of what it can do for your production workflow - for me, it replaced several lesser tools that were more unwieldy to use. XLN RC-20 isn't just good at "oh makes stuff sound old and vintage" stuff, but the Magnitude slider is truly one of the MOST VALUABLE AND AWESOME aspects.
