I'll beat you to it Chris : " performative hubris" - My girlfriend accuses me of that (at least if I had one she might - maybe that's why I lost the last one!)

Reason number 1 is they’re clones but not really clones. They’re just cheap FET, opto, vca compressors, pres and binned OEM Chinese mics that use similar model numbers and controls to confuse people. The functionality and sound might not be there but they’re trying a lot harder than say Behringer is with Klark technics. Art gets more of a pass than Warm because it’s cheaper and they’ve made some good stuff like the MPA II Gold and the Dual Limiter Meh. I've used their take on the 47, the 3124, their 1176. I have also, in each case, used the real thing in a real studio as well. Warm has more than respectable value proposition. I suppose Bryce is laughing all the way to the bank, and I certainly don't see it as my role to defend or impugn any brand. What it does do, is shit up the discourse with what is essentially politics. Glad we don't do it much over here, and Dan I do appreciate your thoughtful response. I get it, but I'm annoyed by the needless repetition on other boards. I have the same issue with clones that I do with emulation plugs or this shit with a million parameters: make something new for god fucking sakes and make it work. Yeah that shit is cool but there is so much stuff that an LA2A, an 1176, an API pre, or an SSL Bus comp type thing does no favors to. There is some really good more modern stuff and maybe half of it is discontinued because guys wanted to relive the 60s. Then in the digital realm: guys who use waves whatever will dismiss any analog gear including Warm, guys will defend cheap reverbs to the death that sound worse than almost any Lexicon or even Alesis product, and guys will praise plug-ins that sound like a Alesis 3630 or dbx 160 at best. Then there are the talking heads who claim all you need comes with your daw and their productions of course sound like a plastic recycling process. |

I should actually add that to the rules: “threatening to leave without just leaving results in automatic ban” lol It’s the passive aggression that drives me nuts. Similar to the philosophy, "The time to fire someone is when it first crosses your mind.". If I followed that philosophy my band would never have a keyboard player  |

Forum retirement speeches are both hilarious and annoying. In my opinion the person making them is just hoping to get a lot of people to say, “oh no, we love you, please don’t leave”. Just STFU and leave. |

The cheap clones are: All clone, no tone. |

Then there are the talking heads who claim all you need comes with your daw and their productions of course sound like a plastic recycling process. again, we're sharing the brain. And it is the philosophy of 'Make it as if the designer was allowed to do what he wanted without restriction and had time to evaluate it and fix the things overlooked" that led me to join in with Audio-Scape. I'll leave it at that, don't want to start shilling and get a banning! But you all know where I am. if I can ever help you. There IS a better way. Just like RGO is a better forum. This place is a TREASURE! |

Of course "Banning" is not only a concept. It's a city in California!
Imagine if they "all" had to move there?
And must I remind you guys...
My beloved Nanocompressor (no matter how much John Eppstein or Hudson want it) is still NOT for sale!

Chris I *would* consider selling on of those guys my 1988 Alesis Micro-Limiter if the price were right. I've had it long enough. Time to pass that joy on to someone else. |
