#Slate vcc and ssl duende together free
I was a bit skeptical when I heard some audio demos (I didn't have an iLok by that time) but I bought it anyways (they started offering free iLoks which made it even more appealing). I haven't regreted it a single bit, that plug-in sounds great in my opinion. SatSon wasn't ready by that time so I had to purchase VCC. I needed to be quick and deliver good results so I had to look for second options and VCC, and SatSon, were on beta stage when I started looking around. The whole freeze/render before mixing paradigm just doesn't cut it anymore for me because I can't spend time on that while having lost of clients waiting on the line for their songs. it's hard because I can't use it like I want, "live", right there in my tracks while I'm mixing from start to end. For me it's hard to be a Nebula user and know the power of this plug-in when it comes to consoles emulation. That's why I tend to dislike any console emulation that's "easy" to hear that's not how great consoles work.Īnother vote for Nebula here. Honestly, it's console emulation if the consoles you were wanting to emulate (the greatest desks ever made) made night and day changes to your audio they wouldn't be considered the greatest desks ever made. Satson - I haven't used it (much), I don't have an opinion. TB - quite impressive little thing! SKNote - nice but use with caution. NLS is fine, but don't drive it too much - it can ruin your mix if you overdose. and this vision shines.īut If I could advise - Nebula sounds great, but it will eat all resources you've got. They were made using some not-the-state-of-art compressors and eq, but there was a vision. I have lot of mixes that I love and they were made completely ITB without those plugins. It's in the melody, emotions and composer's vision. And I have one conclusion: the MAGIC happens way before those plugins. I used NLS, used TB, I have also Nebula and many others (like SK). But as I dig deeper into StripBuss, it blows me away. Not the best tool to "show off" if a paying client is looking over your shoulder, and in a hurry, pinching pennies. But as a guy who used to do all analog and hated what I was hearing coming from ITB (Yes, even the good stuff), Nebula restored my excitement for ITB work. Like Ngarjuna said, it is a complete shift of what work-flow means. It's not like slapping a flanger or delay on a guitar and going "WOW", but it is more like tracking a whole song on all analog consoles, preamps, tube gear, tape.
It shines when you use a bunch of Nebula all over a project. And in regards to it's flavors, it can be pretty subtle, but it IS all about analog emulation. It brought my quad core to a halt, but that WAS a few audio engines ago. Is the non-free version simply the worst demo version imaginable? Can anyone point me to an audio demo of, for example, overdrive that holds up against the UAD Minimoog Multimode Filter (even at static settings, disregarding the tweakability factor)? I keep hearing recommendations from very enthusiastic Nebula users though. I tried the free version, and found absolutely nothing interesting sound-wise (and a terrible UI). Waves has a new cloud installation/registration system which is easy enough to get through.ĭid you try the UAD Studer A800? They snatched a TEC award for it this year, so I guess some people must really like what it does.Īlso, anyone using Airwindows plugins? Any opinions as to how they compare?Īs for Nebula, I still don't get it. Satson runs on the honor system, and I like their philosophy. It's $39.īTW, I can't speak to VCC, but the ilok2 dependency is a real deal breaker for me. I can't be bothered with it even on my i7 with 8 gigs of ram.Īnyway, I think between these two plugs, you can't go wrong, but if you're strapped for cash (or dislike waves), definitely go with Satson- you won't be disappointed. It can stand on it's own, and when combined with the NLS channels, it also sounds great too (and vice-versa).ĬPU usage is negligible on both (I have 10 instances of the channel plugs and one instance of the buss running). Basically the combinations could be limitless. The 3 emulations all sound different, and the individual channels also sound different from each other. Just don't abuse the drive features and it will give you a nice, round, even sound. People don't seem to care for it because they think it's too extreme. However, both Satson and Waves are great sounding tools to have if you do everything ITB. People's music, eq's and systems differ, etc. Answering "what is best" is always impossible.
