Addendum

3.1. GETTING THE MOST OUT OF IT

Use the device as if you would use the good old console to drive a signal into the sweet spot 
where it gets fatter and more focused. If too much boosting is applied, just back it off with the 
MIX knob.

ThrillseekerXTC is heavily CPU optimized to allow high instance counts in a mix. It's good 
practise to use it in varying, slight doses on each channel instead of applying just one instance 
on a bus and expecting miracles.

3.2. KNOWN ISSUES

Known issues in version 1.0.0:

Automation parameters don't show values.

If MOJO is activated, switching the section (or the complete plugin) on/off can cause 
crackles in certain cases.

Using the plug-in bridged with Samplitude's x64 integrated bridge, bypassing causes 
problems.

3.3. UPDATES AND FURTHER INFORMATION

Refer to my Blog at http://varietyofsound.wordpress.com for some additional information and 
updates on this plug-in, or leave a note there if any issues did occur.

Peace,
Herbert
