Does anyone (still) use the Antress plugins?

[Robmobius]

I bought the Anteras warmer while it was on sale and I like it A LOT!

Antress plugins are freeware... Did you mean Antares?

Agh yes!... Sorry, my bad. I was referring to the Antares Warmer.

My eyes are not what they used to be.

Cheers,

I don't use them anymore... but IMO they are still usable... especially some of them.

If I didn't had some commercial and "better" alternatives, I'd still probably use some of them!

firechainer is a 660 'emulation', not a 670 anything, so it should sound different.

i liked seventh sign and firechainer, i never really used any of the others.

Does anyone still use them, has anyone gathered some special experience with them? Can you recommend me any of them which are extraordinary??

I still use them. I like the compressors more than the EQ. The Fairchild 670 'homage' and the Manley Vari-Mu 'homage' are the best imho. Also the Urei1176N 'homage' is great. And his very own Vacuumer I like a lot too.

If you have FLStudio you can load up Synthmaker/Flowstone and look inside - he has the source code on his site. You can change the graphics or steal his graphics - there's a readme file with it if you are unsure. I understand bootsy is busy working on something along the lines of the Vari-Mu also.


Here is a list of what .dll corresponds to what 'homage'. Obviously they aren't 'clones'. All trademarks and copyrights are property of their respective owners.

Feel free to correct me if I got any wrong. Some you'll have to track down, they aren't easy to find. Some will be incompatible with your OS. Some won't be very good. Others are outstanding.


ModernDynaKiller can work as a 0 latency limiter btw, and has its own charm.


Don't forget to download the zipped pack of the plugin source code. All offending graphics or claims have been done away with, so there's no point in beating this old horse to death. Anyway, most people say they are a load of crap, so why should anyone care? Nevermind the politics, here's the information.

Might be a good place to learn about Synthmaker/Flowstone DSP stuff if you're into that kind of thing and starting out. I'm really looking forward to see what bootsy is going to come up with in his 'Variable Mu' experiment.


And obviously, if you like and use the software, go out and support the hardware developers. I liked Antress's ModernVRME so much I went out and bought two! Only cost me 10 grand! Still half the price of what you can pick up a 670 for these days, so I'm told. Do the right thing...
