IMHO one of the best bus comp, as any new born have some issues that Acustica sure can solve/fix in future, the CPU load it compensated by quality (record some real drums, bass, guitar etc [not plugs please], mix and after put the TAN on bus)... The sin it's haven't the auto release but (as free release) thanks the same... Actually the best free bus comp for Rock/Metal... \m/

The IGS seems to be a take on an SSL. The plugin holds together really well when pushed hard, it definitely sounds like hardware to me in that regard.TheoM wrote:PS i have no idea what compressor this is modelling. could you let me know, so i could head to head it with other plugins simulating similar models? Thanks!

I guess it was around 20dB GR. Hard to tell with that meter. I was using it on a drum buss, that's usually where most compressors fall apart for me.TheoM wrote:what sort of reduction are we talking about here Eric? I mean, i have pushed some algo plugins (uad and native), the better stuff, to 15 db reduction and it sounds great.. some fall apart and the quality ones just show how well they hold up.. are you talking beyond that sort of GR?

For this compressor you can push even 50 dB (an extreme test) and it still sound natural. If you don't engage the makeup gain you can see reduction directly in your output meters (output levels) Extreme tests can give an idea about implementation limits: aliasing, transparency, stereo field, distortion and... compression itself. At extreme settings you can mix the dry source and you get still a good compressed tone (several good compressors are using this trick in hidden ways).
Our meters are very slow, I confirm it. I remember I was checking pink compression and comparing it with arousor and for the same tone/tail of the snare our 7dB were translated to about 20dB. I'm sure our meters are slow, and several other product is implementing even too much fast ones (maybe they are integrating the amount)

Just lovely. One of those good but bad moments. Good because it sounds amazing, bad because it makes almost all my other comps sound shit lol. I'll be making a lot of use of this for sure. I'll have to do a fair amount of freezing but it's totally worth it.

A little bit OT here but on Gearslutz there was mention of a possibility of a DSP card for Nebula and Aquas. I got to say that this would be very good and i would sure get this for Acustica Audio plugins.
Something that could run a lot of channel strips or EQs and Comps without straining of the CPU or constant freezing would be fantastic.
But isn´t DSP low on RAM? This plugins take a lot of RAM also.
Would´t something like Waves Soundgrid with an actual CPU and RAM be better for this?

Some previous plugins also used graphics card chips as dsp accelerators. I don't know whether this is something that the Nebula guys would want to look into or have already explored yet?NNevez wrote:A little bit OT here but on Gearslutz there was mention of a possibility of a DSP card for Nebula and Aquas.

Acustica tried the GPU thing before. Ask them about it, maybe they'd consider giving it another shot if there is enough interest.
