Still loving your Bricasti M7?

not sure on that jk, according to them anytime you deviate from their sample points it's an approximation that introduces aliasing(if i remember correctly?). I can tell you i've heard some things and and not heard things when i deviated from, so 🤷🏻‍♂️(you could always gate down a longer tail if hear a problem or you don't want to mess)
Its a great plug imo and i rarely use anything else itb beside it and fab filter Pro R, I don't have a HW Bricasti yet

Yeah - it's a perfect thing for you and your music because there's so much space. I'd LOVE to have one of these and dial up a room and track something like this...There's something magical about room sounds - makes you feel more realism...like you're there in the room.

using it as an artificial room.....(when I use it) then the bricasti as the verb in that case.

It does what it does very very well....

Before the bricasti I used to always use 3 types of verb

1.   Something to act like a room.  Everything got some of that, it made close mic'd things sound like everything is in the room you create.

2.  A plate verb , which acts like the back wall....so varying amounts provide depth. Placing things closer or further back (as close mic'd everything sounds like its next to you)

3. A hall verb... this gave things height....and special sauce...so say the main vocal, lead guitar , percussion etc.


That always worked for me....and all the stuff prior to Bricasti was done this way.

The Bricasti sort of takes care of 1 and 2 for me now...and does it way better, when used as a room.....and does 3. when I use Sound City


cheers

I sold a lot of hardware moving over to ITB, and my M7 was a part of that.

Now that I'm mostly ITB, I'm figuring out that there are a few pieces of gear that I prefer in hardware. 

In my experience, in an A/B sound test, differences are small...but while performing, there is a difference in feel. I find tracking with Seventh Heaven on a send, does not "feel" as good as the hardware, or meld as well. So the hardware inspires the performance.

Same reason why I prefer to track through hardware compression if it's inspiring the "feel" of the performance, and allowing me to interact with it in real time.

When it comes to mixing though, the differences don't matter to me as much, as the performance has already happened, and often plugins are more convenient, and inspire my creativity by being able to experiment with more processing, while also sitting right in the sweetspot while tweaking settings. 

In some ways I guess I could say I prefer hardware when tracking, and software when mixing; with some exceptions of course

This is how I mostly use the Bricasti. I have a very small and dry tracking room. I’ve placed a single mic facing into a corner, away from the kit/source. I send that one to the Bricasti preset of choice.

Instant great room sound.

I mean.. you’d need a stellar sounding room with a lovely tail.

And then you’d need one room for each such preset you like on the M7

please post up some samples!
I have a vintage king card burning a hole in my wallet! I've thought about one of these for years

is there a difference between older and newer models of the Bricasti? If i go used is there anything I should watch out for?
thanx

Personally, I would prefer if a used M7 had already been updated to V2. The vents are on the side and back but as always, I prefer gear that has been racked with a space above and below. Other than that, just condition.
