Giancarlo answered very thoroughly. The old Acustica is dead. Nebula technology has improved tremendously even in just a couple years. I think all of the issues with EQs are solved and now compression + metering are left to be tackled.kvaca wrote:theres huge amount of digital artifacts tied to algo plugin world...and theres even bigger amount of digital artifacts tied to Nebula sampling approach - only these artifacts are new and very different and it takes a lot of time and pain to realize this fact...nebula church doesnt want to hear thisAudioGuy720 wrote:. It's those pesky low end microphone, low end instrument, low end preamp, low end converters, and low end room acoustics tracks that really benefit from Acustica Audio plugins.
I never said Acustica plugins would turn crap into gold. Just that this is where the big difference between run of the mill algorithm EQs are concerned. The extreme cuts/boosts and that "3D effect" most of them add...like real hardware does.kvaca wrote:but crap in crap out rule still apply here so you simply CANNOT expect to record with low end hardware and use Nebula as a fairy dust to make resulting mix great...this snake oil kind of marketing is silly in the long run and even the most stupid person in audio world will - in the end - find that buying decent hw for tracking is much more preferred option than spending crazy amounts of money for some "magical" but useless software...
Had you quoted me fully, you would see that I agree. Better hardware matters. If you can find a place to buy an API 550a, 550b, 560, 5500 and 2500 for $200 please let me know!
