SC has a lot to say about the Ursa Major Space Station comparison: He doesn’t see Supermassive as having a Space Station sound, but thinks Valhalla Delay can get really close
In terms of using R2/Nimbus/R4/Symphony reverbs, I think Michael Carnes is a brilliant reverb designer, I like how all his reverbs have surround sound support, and I think he has every right to protect his intellectual property with iLok, but for my setup, an iLok doesn’t make sense. Also, Carnes comes from a “one perfect algorithm” mindset; Costello comes from a “dozens of different algorithms” mindset. Both are good mindsets, but I prefer the larger number of algorithms Valhalla products have.
