The old TDM MDW eq was a great tool. I wonder if this is the same one.

Apparently, GM says that a great knife is useful in the hands of a great chef but not in the hands of an amateur. (Check out the video) WTF does that mean? This only for professional engineers?

nice new plugs and the Massenburg eq !
props to UA the sound clips for vari mu use 3 formats raw and a direct comparison between the HW and the plug !
think they are pretty confident on this one !

Interested in trying out the MVM...want to see what it does differently than the Fairchild. Honestly, I don't reach for the DC nearly as much as I thought I would after demoing and buying it. I think the headroom knob throws me a little. Maybe I'll start just keeping it all the way up so I have a basis for every parameter.

In the examples even the dry tracks seemed to be compressed not making for great a/b'ing against the HW/SW.

those clips were done by Gannon, I doubt he fudged them ! I was more interested in comparing HW and plug .

Just started demo and put it on a drum bus. Just slapped on the JJ Blair Drum Bus preset...I'm buying. Immediately.

Keep us posted: I felt the same way but actually held off still paying for my 47 Thiersch work !! The guy who bought my dbox has $150,000 grand of gear, runs a beer outlet in Quebecx must be nice to have that cashflow and gear appetite ! |

Yeah - listening to this plug really makes me think the hardware must be awesome. I absolutely couldn't match the sound on the drum bus with the Fatso or the Fairchild. Really gave the snare some bloom.

i know people complain about the $299 price, but i they are missing 3 key things : UA plugs are getting better, they need to pay royalties and you can wait and buy when its cheaper.
I like the vari mu a bunch but still digesting 47, I bought the new eiosis air eq at 99, that is a very good price and versatile eq encourage people to demo while on sale

I love this compressor and the Massengerg EQ. Probably the eq a little more!!

At fist listen this Manley plugin seems to have a very similar mojo to the Shadow Hills. I know they are fundamentally different but I can't help think you'd be reaching for them for the same tasks. It's definitely pretty, but I'm not quite sure i'm sold yet. All the stuff I tried it on was recorded live mind you, but I don't think it was a better-maker. I'll have to explore it some more before I pass final judgement, but I think that rmx16 will be edging this one out for my next plugin purchase.

The VM struck me as better than the SH's...On drum bus, I really loved the way this thing brought out the snare - made it bloom...I thought it made the whole kit expand.

I pulled the trigger on this one. I'm actually using it in series following the SH's VCA comp on the mix bus with superb results...it's cliche, I know, but it adds a nice polish and sheen, and I've actually replaced the Slate VBC in favor of this setup on a current project.

Yeah - listening to this plug really makes me think the hardware must be awesome. It is. Plus, it does a bunch of things the plugins can't do - like it can double as a hotplate to cook scrambled eggs on, and it can singlehandedly keep your studio warm in the winter. Good stuff!! |

Anyone using this on a regular basis? I'm gonna re-demo. I'm being tempted by the Quad offer...although I'm reluctant to buy more plugs
