I've accumulated quite a few free Acustica licenses over the years, but have to be selective about which I install as it's the definition of bloatware.
I've tried it out here and there and found it behaves somewhat funky so far as GUI changes correlating to sound changes. Was gifted licenses for El Rey and Taupe by somebody fed up with the development to add on my license pile.
After the free Tan compressor was updated to the new 'hyper' version 2 and the 'Fire The Gold' hyper preamp was released, I decided to take the plunge when Gold 5 was released in the the new 'hyper' format and bought my first paid Acustica suite. Shortly after purchasing, 'the hyper' updated El Rey 2 was released and I've been mixing with those two all week, with the 1073/1081 EQs all over mixes and the El Rey 2 on every lead vocal. The cpu hit at 1x sampling rate is reasonable enough to use them across all my subgroups on a mix. Any other non-acustica regulars dipped their toe in these new 'hyper' waters?

i have and use the Tan 2 compressor on my mixbus from time to time. i find it good. and i briefly tried the -also free - black guru plugin. a gainstaging console channel with lo and hi cut. i can do without.
when i finally will buy a new macbook pro m1 i will demo a few new acustica plugins. for now i‘d have to freeze tracks too much.

They run amazingly well in Reaper on an m1 MBP if anyone is wondering.

Don't follow. Are you saying that there is an additional latency introduced in a secondary buffering stage outside of what you set in the preferences page? I don't know anything about that but if that is what you are saying, it's not a huge deal to me because I'm not tracking with these plugs. |

Reaper and many other modern daws process audio in advance of when it is played by default. Acustica is dynamic convolution rather than a complex algorithm so it is unusually heavy. |
