Sonimus Satson (Console emulation) ready to buy now :)

Terry West neither confirmed nor deny that his stab on a "console suite" is a SE creation.

Actually, more:
Slate VCC, SATURN (Terry West, initial release), Nebula (e.g. AlexB), Sonimus Satson, SoundToys JUICE (in development), Sknote StripBus (in development)

So I count 6, not counting the "channel strip" suites that came before the "console wars" plugins (UAD, URS, Waves, McDSP, MAGIX, dlM, TeamDNR, just to name a few).


Competition is good for businesses - I hope this applies here as well.

"Sknote StripBus"?? How is it I'm behind the news always on Quinto's plug-ins?

Can't wait to try that one!

seems it goes a little bit off-topic again...

please discuss about Satson and not all alternatives which are or will be on the market, soon.

It's kind of inevitable to draw comparisons, I think, especially if there's no demo to try out! But I would like to see it stay civil...(but wouldn't we all?)

This thing sounds great for crunchy drums, especially kits with a lot of metallic overtones

Now that is a perception that I can use to help with my decision to buy or not........thanks Apheleon!

No prob. So far it seems like I can get the kind of crunch/sizzle that you I get from say Feric or Magnetic, without that squishy tape type compression. The drums stay punchy and don't seem to loose dynamics as drastically as a tape sim. The fat switch seems to be tuned nicely to beef up the kick and lower freqs of the snare, at least with the kits I have ran through it.

Sounds

Are we talking individual kit elements per track or stereo full kit?
Most of the time I treat a kit as a whole, adjusting levels in the instrument itself, then running it as a stereo track,
but occasionally I'll track kits as individual parts.

Thanks again.

Earlier I was running a full kit through the chan version used as a buss plug, instead of the buss version, but it was a kit that had some comp and sat already on it. I found that I needed the gain knob to get the proper gain staging in this project.

Disclosure: I like my drums dirty, think anything from 70's funk to 90's east cost hiphop to industrial, to hard breakbeats/dnb.

For Mac, is this truly Intel only or is it universal binary? thanks.

I'm going to be criminal here.

Had Satson since release, VCC since Jan 2011 and Nebula since last year.

What I have found using Satson is mainly using it as an eq filter on each channel and Nebula/Satson Buss on the Master. What I find is the channel will be around 0db but the final buss will be maxxing out at +3db, no distortion or clipping audibly though.

First time last night experimenting with VCC channel as well as Satson on the channels and buss (just to see what happens, VCC post satson in both cases). Lowered all the Satson channels to bring the master to 0db and found VCC lifted the mix and created the space. Some bongos on the mix started to lift out more with the VCC on. Still experimenting and comparing the results (not being an engineer) to see what I like.

Still undecided but I do feel, for me personally, I will be using Satson as a channel filter/eq and VCC for the console emulation. Fire me bad if it sounds wrong

I'm with you on this one........even when I want to use a clean sound, I have this urge to put Decimort all over it
