I didn't want to take the free plugs discussion off track so am starting this one here.
I'm looking for suggestions for good plugs for nebula pro. tape and pultec eq or anything else.
while we are at it. 192khz? can I get them in higher res? |

Man, it's been so long since I've been down that rabbit hole. I'm thinking I might chase it down again, though. I think all of the AlexB stuff was good. CD Soundmasters. I think these new plugs that are actual separate plugs look interesting.

Haven't tried the new Alex B stuff, but there are so many good libraries out there. Still a fan of AITB EQs... CDSM & Signal To Noize tape libraries... Cupwise and Tim P compressors... etc... For program EQs, check out: CDSM Cooltec, Tube Trek and Peak 200AAlex B PoolteqAITB Doc Fear
For tape, check out: CDSM Apex Tape, R2R and TapeBooster+Signal To Noize Nag Tape and Stud A810
Most of this stuff is 44.1k / 96k. I've seen some libraries at 192k too, but you'd have to check availability... Some of them have demos, too... |

I started with Aquamarine...then had to try Magenta...which then led to Neb Pro with AlexB, Gemini and Henry O. libraries...it's definitely changed my workflow, it's a huge resource hog and it's buggy at times, but the sound quality makes it worthwhile and keeps me coming back for more...

I noticed on the alex b page he specifically says
"The thinking behind this process is to provide the full quality of the analog behavior, which means placing all emphasis on quality over cpu resources. The process is extremely efficient and optimized to be used on current computer technology with a forward thinking to the future of more powerful systems, but this will be a more cpu-intensive device than your typical software"
ignoring I haven't been down this path yet this philosophy appeals to me on so many levels.

In my humble experience, the Acqua plugs are where it's at. Flipping through presets in Neb Pro takes some getting used to, and it seems this app with 3rd party libraries is where the bugs hide (kernel panics aren't for the weak at heart). The Acqua tech uses the Nebula convolution engine under the hood, but it tweaks with a slick user interface resembling any other algorithmic emulation plug.
That said, I think one instance of Magenta eats about 20+% of my available CPU. But, here's what Giancarlo says of Ivory and the new Core6 engine:
"New Core6 performance: From the first measurements the EQ Acustica Audio IAE-2, that can be compared in terms of CPU load, to the Amber EQ (same numbers of bands), goes from a latency of 8000 samples and a CPU load of 14% to a latency of 2000 samples and a CPU load of 5%. Its performance was measured on a PC with these characteristics: OS: Windows 7 Pro 64 - CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM CPU @ 2.40 GHz 2.40 GHz - RAM: 8,00 GB - Using Reaper v4.77 (x86)."
Sadly, there's no timetable when/if existing Acqua plugs will be ported to the new Core6 engine...
