As a sound engineer, I’ve tried countless plugin hosts, but LiveProfessor 2 really stands out. It feels stable and responsive even under pressure, and that’s exactly what you need when the lights go up. Setting up chains is quick, routing is flexible, and the CPU load stays low - so I can focus on mixing the performance instead of worrying about glitches. The sound comes through clean and full, giving me confidence that the audience hears exactly what I want them to. It may not have every feature under the sun, but what it does, it does exceptionally well. For me, that reliability is gold.
