I’m really excited about this but I’ll probably wait to demo it until it’s $79 or something in a couple of months. Hope they optimized the oversampling or, better yet, added an offline OS option. Speaking of that, did you see the latest DDMF Metaplugin has increased its IIR/FIR OS options - adding 16x and also offline OS up to 64x? Could be interesting/useful Does it have an ultrasonic filter like the old TDR plug VladG made? doesn't seem to but it is a 'chainer' so you could add one theoretically. I tried using that old TDR plugin but it's not compatible with Catalina. Airwindows has one called ultrasonic but it's not the same as the TDR plug (it's just a steep 5-pole lpf at 20k not linear phase like the VladG one) Wish Fabien would update that. |

What about the Acustica Acqua stuff? Some of their channel strips even have multiple preamps of the same type sampled to recreate varying tolerances. Yeah, their stuff sounds great for this, but it obviously murders your CPU. Gold (Neve), Pink (API), and Cream (EMI) are especially good at this b/c they have a lot of different channels/pres sampled. But again, impractical for most of us (unless just pre-processing all your tracks through the various pres/line amps). I agree the Acustica stuff can be used as a good 'Mixing Tool'....(if you have a super computer, and watch out for the many unadvertised quirks). But a terrible production tool as it requires a high buffer and many other issues. In general a console emulation 'plugin' (as you are describing) is just something to add distortion/frequency response/etc...? If so there any things out there for this. But I find the best is just to record your tracks into the DAW with this analog-mojo already there. Then you don't have to add it later. For Console Emulation.... (as it relates to the real thing, which gets you very quick workflow/eq/utility functions), I find Softube Console pretty good. Looking forward to trying LUNA. |

You can build up an insane glue that you can’t get for things not recorded in the same room to a console. We’ve had fake rooms for decades. Then we received fake tape. Now we have fake consoles. I haven’t found any straight “console” plug that can do it all. The Lindell 80, Britson, and SDRR 2 desk came closest but still aren’t there. The ones with stereo crosstalk fill out the image nicely as theshea pointed out with SDRR2. The ones that don’t, don’t have this effect.

Dan has it nailed. No shitting on plugins, I use them, but Dan's in search of a sound and that isn't going to happen magically from a console plugin. |
