Customer Reviews
I am doing my first ever mix, and was agonizing about the flabbiness of my kick. Now my song is of the Afropop RnB genre, with a 90s/2000s RnB vibe. This made finding the appropriate kick sample difficult hence me ending up with a sample that was flabby and jowly. Long story short, I was online researching for a technique to tighten the low end and was getting all sorts of suggestions, including, to cut at 30HZ. But you do this and you loose the body of the kick and so it was frustrating. Then Streaky's tight arse came up. Initially i was sceptical because the name sounded funny, but then Streaky's name was attached to it and he is a respected mastering engineer in the UK. Besides, there is this youtube channel that reviews and rates plugins and they are so candid about it - they will says it is sh*t if its not good. I watched their review and they said it was good but feared that it would make up and coming mix engineers lazy about learning how to tighten their loose loweneds manually if they use the plugin since tight arse will do it all for you in minutes. I was convinced and placed my order.
In my country, we were having elections around the same time and i was caught in it because i work with a CSO and so didn't get to try it until later, and when i did, oh my goodness! so simple, so easy, and so effective! within minutes i had gotten rid of the jowls and tightened the kick to taste. GREAT plugin!
I still vow to learn how to do it manually too, but even when I do, i still will use tight arse. Now the improvement i see Streaky adding in future is a palette of saturation/distortion condiments...wel i am just being greedy, but yeah, it would be nice!
5-stars (*****) for me!
Gives a good lift to the sound to your basslines and drums 👍🏻
Love it ,grabs hold of the bottom end lets you shape it uniquely. Thanks streaky.
Subtle but a huge difference to the final mix. Does what it says on the tin!
Love the look of it too.
What a plugin!
It keeps the low end punchy but at the same time is balancing the volume of the low end with the other frequencies, all of this with just a few knobs!
The only thing that I would like to have is a linear phase mode that prevents phase shifting while applying the eq's and the cross-fade point, sometimes I have these issues when I apply the plugin in the kick-bass group
Easy to use and a great compliment to my plugins. Tried it in various situations... across my Kick, Snare, Toms, Drum Bus and with the Bass, it works a treat, lifting the feel and sound of the tracks to another level. WInner...
I use Tight Arse for my Kick & Bass and the result is amazing. Put the plugin to my Kick & Bass Bus and the song goes crazy!
This thing is pretty cool to mess with. Upon my first placement with it, I used it on a pretty fat kick that had enormous low end sonics. I was impressed to hear it reasonably tame but yet give it punch nearly turning it into a new kick. I still have more to work with on it, but this is a great tool to have ready on drum work. I already know it. (Dave from Tritonal)
I was really happy that it does exactly what it’s been advertised to do. I used it on both a bass synth it helped control the bottom end. I put it on a kick & it controlled the bottom end. I used it on the master buss & it focused the bottom end. I love its ease of use, the way it looks as well as the results it gave my project.
Simple Straight forward results, saved me so much time ,literally replaced many of my pluggins and processing tools to get a clean/tight low-end
Thank you Streaky loved it ...
