was about to write same thing :lol:
just skimmed through Accurate's video and it just blew my brain out how bad it sounds.
I mean, didn't expected fireworks show, but this is really bad :Sigh:
I think that devs didn't have too much wiggle room but had to release it anyway to avoid backlash - it's kind of sad really.

Accurate review is definitely showing there is a big difference in sound quality. IMO no matter how much you love the idea of 'stems on the go' I am absolutely not seeing how anyone can use this for anything other than some very limited edge cases. It mostly just sounds like an mp3 encoded at 32kbp/s, very metallic, no warmth, thin, brittle etc.

Hopefully it will be worked on, but ultimately it's using a dumbed down algorithm and just like standalone warping, they haven't seemed to have made any improvements on that either.
