www.arturia.com/products/software-effects/preamps-bundle/overviewThought this was worth checking out because The Softube trident is so expensive and I never really took to any of the previous 1073 emulations I tried. I like these so much for my rock and metal stuff when followed by Kotelnikov GE that I don't feel the need to get the Azure or Weiss anymore. Excitement, clarity, cpu efficiency, ease of eq moves, and turning the input up to get a bigger and tighter sound are all there. Stuff could still be iffy using the Azure and Weiss. And their cpu usage is really high along with their price tags. I'd definitely recommend trying this Arturia stuff and Kotelnikov before throwing down on those expensive plugins.

They look very nice. Arturia's VIs are great, so these ( should ) be good.

I don't get it - how can software be a preamp? Does it have an XLR connector?

I tried it and was...not overly enthused.

I guess it's just one of those saturator color tool kind of things? I'll have to demo...

It's kind of bizarre to me that Arturia made a whole page about these "preamps" and did not even MENTION the EQ section even once!!
I would have called them channel strips, or something.

My guess is that Arturia includes a gain control with some pseudo-analog "color" bs along with the EQ. I'll pass - I have a thing about misleading advertising. Most likely this is aimed at bedroom "producers" who don't actually use microphones. More stuff to play with instead of concentrating on the music. |
