Cymatics lures you in promising "Free Plug-Ins & Sample Packs," and then uses this in their live streams for more views, along with using this to their advantage to advertise their paid deals, even though they promise that things are going to be given out for free. Sure, they do give you free plug-ins, but you have to sit through HOURS of them yammering on & on about all their stuff, and they can literally just probably do everything in an hour or less, I have to say. I didn't mind at first, but then once I noticed that they were basically just forcing everyone to listen through a big advertisement after telling them that they would give their plug-ins away for free for a lure of sorts. I've even seen Thumbnails that say "Everything Free!" But then once I went to the page where they actually give their stuff away on that particular Stream, I could clearly see at least one deal that was a paid one. The last straw was when a recent live stream a few weeks back advertised free giveaways and whatnot, but it seemed like a more-than-usual amount of deals were paid, and then I saw probably the worst thing I've seen in a while; one of the deals was literally them trying to charge you $250.00 for a song feedback, only available to 5 individual people. What the hell?! That's obviously a really questionable idea. You can literally just put your songs that you want to have feedback on onto a major website like YouTube or Soundcloud, & ask for feedback on that song. Ever since then, I don't RVSP for their live streams anymore. If you're not only going to waste my time for hours on end, but also try to scam people & avoid their feedback like I've seen before, that's a red flag to me. Then lastly, there's the quality of the plug-ins. I do have to admit that I could be wrong on this, as pretty much every artist has their own unique opinions, so I'm going to start out saying that I like being an experimental ambient artist. From what I've used from Cymatics (Mainly Pandora & a Compressor named something like CL-72A or something like that, I don't remember) The compressors do sound relatively good, but it seems like I can easily get another better Compressor for free somewhere else easily. Also, from what I've heard from Cymatics, they say that it's been "Made by professional people and used by famous artists," but I doubt that. To be honest, their Samplepacks & Plug-ins sound very cheaply made, & all sound like the average free Samplepack or Plugin. Besides, you can probably find something sounding even better with most DAW Stock Files. I'm sure that other people have their opinions varied on Cymatics, but my experience is mostly negative. I've even seen their bulk offers getting more expensive than Omnisphere, even when it's a deal, if I remember correctly. Also, I'm pretty sure that some of those even takes up more space, along with the demos sounding worse than what I can get with Omnisphere.. For those offers, just save your money and get Omnisphere and/or Kontakt, if you don't have those already, if you were thinking about buying those things. If you do have them already though, see what you can do with it first before making up your mind getting any of the big packs from Cymatics. I wouldn't recommend Cymatics; I'd give it a one-star if there wasn't so much of a variation in between every music producer & their works. If you want to make cheap-sounding Pop and Hip Hop songs, consider Cymatics, but I have to say to look for any better alternatives to it. For music producers like me though? Don't even bother.

I discovered Cymatics through Bedroomproducers.blog and created an account out of curiosity. After downloading their "Hub" software, their downloader app, without having paid a penny or subscribed to anything, I already had over 50 packs added for free! You need to search under the "Vault" tab, click on the ones that say "free" and they will then appear under the "collection" tab for you to download. Sure, I get emails every other day, but I could stop them if I didn't want them. Give the guys a break! They are giving you quality free stuff. Sooner or later I'll buy something just to pay them back for all the freebies :)

The constant "free" ads should not be allowed. They just tell you to come to their upcoming livestream where you wait 5+ hours before they give you access to the "freebies." Don't sit through that. Find the downloads later online. Terrible misleading marketing, it's sad to see how greedy they've gotten.

The filters do not work properly. On some presets they affect the sound, but on others they seem to be completely bypassed. For example, moving the filter all the way down does not always change the sound, even though it should drastically affect it. Changing the filter type can also result in either no sound or only specific frequency ranges being heard, while the frequency display still shows the full range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. There is also an inconsistent preset saving issue, where some sounds show “overwrite current preset” while others only show “save new preset”. Customer support is also very poor. Darien replies instantly when the question is simple, such as asking how to be removed from email subscriptions, but as soon as you ask a detailed question about actual plugin bugs, he completely stops replying. Judging by other reviews here, this does not seem to be an isolated experience. Overall, do not buy plugins from Cymatics. If something goes wrong, you will be left alone with an unfinished and unreliable product.

You're getting spammed with emails and ads saying plugins and sample packs are up for free, all you need to do is enter a link. After a quick look at the website the link refers to, you start to notice a pattern where they want to claim a lot of money out of you. Like, at this moment, they market how to get 10 free plugins from their website, while also pushing out a lot of FaceBook posts about free stuff. When commenting the posts or trying to get the 10 plugins they offer, you notice you have to wait until they make it available on an upcoming streaming event, where you need to attend. And, if it's like last time, the live stream is 4 hours of non stop talk about nothing related to music and download links not working.

This is a follow up on my previous review. It's been 10 days since I've reached out to them. I've made 4 attempts. Still haven't gotten a response for any of them. And I still haven't gotten my $50 store credit that was advertised for making a purchase of $100 or more. They've made no attempt to rectify any complaints from other reviews. It's obvious they just want your money and care nothing about the customers. Stay away from these crooks

They scammed me for 29 dollars.. they had this 1 dollar plugin that i bought. And after the purchase there was this 10 day free trial that came with it.. after the 10 days i got a paypal notification that i just bought the Cymatics ULTIMATE???! This company just scammed me.

I bought a $1 product, and they quietly signed me up for a 10-day free trial of their most expensive subscription. Without warning, I was charged $30. They only accept refunds in store credit that expires after two months. They will spam you, often with the same tagline "we don't do this often," even though their sample packs are all recycled, decade-old samples. If anyone has had this issue after buying the $1 dynamic EQ (VELVET Lite), I would suggest uninstalling it (along with the Cymatics plugin hub) and getting Robbert van der Helm's free spectral compressor, which does the same thing (with more control) and is open source on GitHub. The general trend is that they put all their effort into making the plugin UI look good rather than doing anything new. Their army of paid reviewers will rave about their "BRAND NEW" plugin that does what free plugins have been able to do for years (and what you can likely achieve with stock plugins with some ingenuity). If you're considering buying a Cymatics plugin, I seriously suggest researching free alternatives. In all likelihood, they will not just be cheaper, but higher quality too.
