Some purchases are associated with hardware ("I don't want to buy a dongle just to demo a product"), and listening to samples necessarily leaves out some of the touch and feel and performance issues, e.g. There might be things you didn't notice in the demo like CPU usage that when used in a big project cause problems (although it would be smart to test this too, realistically, sometimes people don't) Sometimes you can't hear major differences and want to know what to look for It makes sense to compare your notes with others That said, I see no problem with seeing what the consensus is within the audio community, especially for beginners (whether or not you are one). It gives the forgiveness of tape–unlike other emus that most model the wow and distortion of tape–particularly on the G9 modern tape formula, this just sounds “the same but better”.So, I agree with with /u/fuzeebear: you should try them both and see which you like better, there are definitely demos you can download. That may be a better buy for those “unhappy” with their mixes. If you gain stage that like you actually did tape, I’ve yet to have anything sound worse. …now the virtual tape machine may be different. To be honest, this is advanced stuff, IMO-if you don’t already produce good mixes and have good enough monitoring to judge the subtle differences…it’s not like it’s something you strap on and everything sounds better. That might have a cumulatively cool effect–sticking with one console, but choosing the channel model that best suits the track at hand. NLS is also “neat” in that they have 24 or so channels of each board, which ARE variations on a theme, so ch2 might have a midrange bark that ch1 doesn’t. Their Neve is less caricature–Slate’s unwieldy bottom–but, also not modeled after the same board. They did a nicer job on the SSL, for sure, even though I still never prefer it. Less nuanced than Slate…which isn’t necessarily a bad thing–but it’s three very distinct console colors, where Slates’ 5 are much more like variations on a theme–the three in NlS sound completely different from each other. However, I did activate the NLS demo today. It’s a little silly to put a plug in on a track that makes it sound worse because Steve told you to…and then use EQ and what not to “fix” the issues it causes… The plain fact is sometimes they sound worse on a given track. I gotta check out more of Slate’s stuff…like the new TM. U ever try Stripbus or Satson? Literally a FRACTION of the cost too. I also just got VTM, and that in combination with VCC is quite amazing! While I don’t have experience with hardware gear to compare to, I will say after doing so much mixing digitally ITB for the past 5 years…it wasn’t until last year and this year I started using VCC and it has really helped me improved my sound without trying so hard with individual EQ’ing and tube and saturation use…and while being done so subtley…or at least I try to keep that. If you don’t want so much color, you can adjust the drive and input levels accordingly. VCC is quite subtle, but from what I’ve experienced it does add a nice gluing effect. And you want to use the grouping functions, but don’t forget you can have multiple groups. So yes, you do want to mix into them because of the effect they add, but if doing so, you do want the channel inserts as well as the buss insert on the master because they work together. **this is Steven’s rec…why? Because if you slap it on everything…and it sounds like it does, you make all mix decisions based on that…so, of COURSE then bypassing it makes the mix “suck”–that doesn’t actually mean VCC is making the mix better-it means you mixed in the context of it’s color. PhaseBug (freeware-should be built into a DAW, but isn’t). Aether&PCM Native (though hardware still owns it, so I didn’t buy). Waves API, CLA, Mastering, and JJP bundles. There are very few plug ins that have added much useful, IMO.
Welcome in Android NFC phones compatible you will find a NFC compatible phone list Android that work with the FMT application, contactless technologies for NFC devices developed by Freemindtronic Andorra. Do as little as you need to.Īnd go get his new VTM…and FXG…OK…I’m indeed a fanboy. Android NFC Phones Compatible with FMT Application. While it may seem obvious, you only leave it where the first is the case. That’s the thing–three things happen when you put slate on a channel–it sounds way better, it sounds worse, or it just kind sound different. If you can’t hear what it’s doing, leave it off. Now…don’t take that wrong–Slate is the game changer that has gotten me to move to Cubase as audio platform…but, my experience has been it’s best selected on a per channel/bus basis. Not used NLS…but, I’ve tried that with Slate…as much as I like the product, absolute BS that you should “mix into it”**…and set it on everything…there are nasty side effects on some tracks, that while you don’t notice it if you just plaster it across everything, are quite evident if you solo and toggle the bypass.
