a mix could be perfeclty balanced and well mixed it doesn t mean i will like the sound of it, a not so well mixed track could sound better for me if it have some colors i like .
about this debate i ll give a example with synths it s more obvious :it s like using plugs and wishing them to sound like a nord 2 ,it s possible to make great music with both but if you want the sound of the nord you need to buy one thats all, it s a personal thing, it s same with compressors ,eq...if you love the sound of a tool nothing will replace it, it s not about geting good mix or not, i don t understand why some always have to say if you can t have a good mix with plugs you sux, they just have no love for a distinctive sound, for them using vanguard or a pro one is the same maybe.

Oh I completely agree with you! People make "specialized" gear choices, be it hardware or software, because they like the thing! And there's nothing wrong with that.

Mixing and mastering for me is divided into art and science. The art part is where I define my own "sound" which again is reflected by my choices of gear. The science part is making the mix translate and sound balanced/natural, no matter how chaotic the artistic side of the project was.

How does it manifest itself ?

if you push the parameters too hard you can get this gross digital distortion crackle or something, hard to describe. i ran it by them and its definitely a bug.

Yes, the bug is confirmed and happens with Drive at the maximum setting (+12dB) only, so for now just leave it a tad below that and you shd be OK. A fix is coming up but due to some internal reorganizations we're a bit tied up a the moment--sorry for that.

Take care,

Well, take your time... I just hope it will be done BEFORE the 15th of march

Cheers, friend

Well, i've been using the Preamp on every channel while mixing my latest tune.
It' a wonderfully subtle tool that just makes everything sit better in the mix.
I love it.

Neil.

What, you wanna fight?.........I call you out. If Im not outside in 5 minutes...start without me.

Offended is the perfect word Bmanic.

I am often quite forceful with my opinions, but even when Im tame--if I correct someone...I usually get a response that is so obviously derived from bruised ego that I cant help but laugh at how significant people think they are in the scheme of things.

There was a time when a lot of puppy attitudes could be found but people have become so bold and arrogant that they only actually learn from people in secret(because to their face they already know it all)

Got a chance to demo this.. highly recommended. One of the best, if not the best plugin preamp model i have tested. Nebula performs maybe a *little* bit better, but hey, it eats up tons of memory. I remember this getting 9/10 rating in Computer Music and 4/½ stars in Music Tech.

The mid/side option is wicked too. If I was getting a preamp PI, this is probably the one I'd pick. Just loving the 112dB products.

I find that sentence contradicting in an irritating manner...

Wow, experimenting more with this.. the glowing tubes are like the the heart of the track, pumping blood to my dynamic EQ, which breathes to the same rhythm. Lowering the mid-band completely eats up this cheap sounding area in drums. Hell, i don't know exactly what it does, but sounds absolutely great.

I love it what it says in the description: "Not for novices".. haha
