Isn't this just AUX mix renamed? Or just use 'Group' channels on your DAW mixer? The point of this device is..? I'll give it the 5* anyway: it's a good device.

This Plugin is by far the best summing mixer for free. If you understand routing and usage it's an absolute game changer for your mix. I use it in on every bus and send the busses to a NCAR in the master bus. Results are amazing. Your nix become glue, depth, space and warmth. The filters are also very helpful. Unfortunately this plugin is no more supported from Analog Obsession.

For some reason Cakewalk does not recognize channel number 1! :(

I put this in my master channel and it just really gives it extra. I actually like this more than the LA esquire limiter and the j37 abbey road and everything else I was using like limiter no6, this is simple and just makes stuff sound better.

NCAR works best in a Modular App such as Minihost Modular or Element. In Element, the following I/O configurations are available: Mono, Stereo, LCR, Quadraphonic, Surround (5.0, 5.1, 7.0, 7.1), Discrete #9-#16 (#16 = I/O x8). But it would be nice to have a Channel PAN knob.

Try NCARSE (Single Edition) from the developer's site.

All your plugins are superb... My only concern is that it takes more CPU (I mean all your plugins except few).. sound quality wise they are as gud as any commercial plugins out there...
