Summary - What I Think Of The Waves Scheps Parallel Particles Plugin

To be honest when I first started playing with this I thought it was a little bit gimmicky, I suppose it's just the graphics that caught me off guard a little bit. I sort of thought they were a little bit unnecessary but to be honest but the more I'm using this the more I'm really liking it.

If I had to find fault with it it's with the fact that I have to level match the output when I'm increasing things like the byte particle.

Now for a plugin that's been set up in a way to make it very easy to use it sort of feels like the output should have a feature that can automatically compensate the level. It would be brilliant if the output could duck down a little bit so our ear is just listening to the effect rather than the increase in volume.

Go get yourself the demo. Have a go of it in your tracks and let us know your thoughts on this very unique but very cool Waves Scheps Parallel Particles plugin.
