Jaycen Joshua's The God Particle plug-in

Wasn’t able to comment when this thread was originally made since I was banned but now that I’m back I just wanted to come here and say that this plugin is absolutely incredible and is now permanently the last thing on my master bus at all times, and that includes when I’m composing as well, I’ve never turned it off since I bought it and I can also confirm that it does work VERY well for orchestral music!!

Seriously, if you’re looking to streamline your workflow and have your music sound better instantly without touching a thing this plugin is absolutely a must, I will be singing its praise for a very long time I can definitely say that much

I got to Beyond the Super Analog and closed the webpage. I can't with nonsense.

No such thing as one size fits all when it comes to mixing.

The marketing is a bit cringey but I promise the product is amazing, and it has a free trial so no reason not to give it a try

Apparently this is based on his Ozone 4 preset, there's a free v9 "translation" available here:


Here are the details of the ozone 4 preset, for anyone willing there are tutorials out there on how to get Ozone 4 working on a current system.

Yeah I have the Ozone preset as well and it’s well known throughout the industry, The God Particle is basically his Ozone preset in one plugin and I think it’s much better

"By default, The God Particle’s settings are exactly how Jaycen has them set on every single one of his mixes since 2021."

That seems an odd statement to me!

I wouldn’t say it’s odd, he uses a top down approach and his philosophy is that if things aren’t going into The God Particle the way he wants them then there’s a problem with the mix that needs to be addressed, not the plugin. Makes a lot of sense to me

I don't think it's that odd, several famous mixers are known for having outboard gear chains that stay at fixed settings and get used that way on every mix, this seems to be the plug-in equivalent of that philosophy.

Do you use any other plugins too, I guess you still do some EQ and compression at least? (Just asking since its marketed as only plugin needed).

I have an instance of Gullfoss Master as the first thing on my master bus which is what I use as my eq, and then I have the Slate tape for some color and saturation, and then The God Particle is last (it has multiband compression built in so that’s why I don’t have a separate compressor)

So this is just like the good old "impress your client"- preset from the old Ozone but now in a plugin form?

Here‘s the Gearspace discussion:

My only issues with this plugin are 1. It’s not Apple Silicon native, this is just unacceptable for a brand new plugin, and 2. There’s no oversampling, I emailed them about this and they said they’ve received many emails about it so they’re considering it in a future update

Also, if you want to hear The God Particle doing it’s thing on 20 minutes worth of film music, then look no further:

If you’re embarrassed about the name, I suppose you could run the plugin inside a wrapper, like Blue Cat's PatchWork. This would hide the plugin within a plugin and only display the name if you opened the wrapper.

Best,

Geoff

I think this plugin is too good to not use because of the name, and personally I love the name, it’s very hip and just sounds cool

1) It's named that way because Jaycen has a sense of humor.
2) It's not the same as his Ozone preset, and that's not a substitute.
3) It's not meant to be a last-minute bandaid for a lacking mix, so demoing it as such won't give you the best impression. Mix into it from the start and be aware of how/where to hit the meters.

FWIW, I used it on this new Sonokinetic demo (which I had nearly zero time to mix)
