Acustica Audio introduces Aquamarine 5, the 'Hyper' upgrade of the mastering compressor monster

[plexuss]

All I did was express an opinion. You don't like my opinion?? Too bad, foe me. Instead you double down on some bullshit theory of your own that Hyper is just oversampling. I'm not standing for it. Provide some proof that it's just oversampling or go away.

It's all in AA's product information. Go look on their site and on GS's new product threads for Frost, Tiger and Aquamarine as well as the AA discussion thread. It's all there.

Yet another half assed update from Acustica. No hyperized EQ or preamp. Pretty pathetic that they wouldn't update all the components.

Nonsense verging on trolling.

Still no actual information backing up your bullshit claim.
Just more nonsense verging on trolling.
You are literally too stupid to insult. From the GS Tulip thread:

Just to clarify: Are the 16 line and mic Preamps Hyper tech too, or just the 6 custom preamps?

All of them. Everything except the EQ is hyper.

Which is oversampling. Therefore Aquamarine is also "Hyper" and as I keep saying your original post demonstrates you dont know what you are talking about. That is the 3rd time I've explained this. No more. you are on your own. enjoy your plugins.

Once again no proof to back up your babbling. Who's trolling who???
I used to have some respect for your opinion and wonder why others on here had a problem with you. You've cured me of all that.

Has anyone noticed some improvement
or is it just some hype for hyper?
I am asking, because I haven't.
The improvements most people are waiting for are known, so no need to mention cpu, latency, quality of compressors (compressors that compress!), displays and guis.

Our standard compressors run at 22kHz regardless of sample rate or oversampling; this implies that the reduction, attack, and release curves are not calculated for every sample but for every 'n' samples, where 'n' depends on the sample rate. For example, on fast transients, the input level is evaluated correctly; however, the reduction is calculated after 'n' samples, so the signal containing the transient is not compressed in time, and the transient "escapes" compression.

lol


Thanks for finally (after years, now that you finally have developed better tech) admitting that up to now your "perfect emulations" were in fact nowhere near being adequate at all.

The Hyper tech applies both to the compressor and preamp, and the EQ module's preamps are Hyper too.

We have released an update today available in Aquarius: AQUAMARINE5 - rel A011 / AQUAMARINE5 (TRIAL) -rel A003

• Fixes the internal routing; now the output of the optical comp goes correctly into the discrete comp detector.
• Minor fixes on the knob reset position and input trim knob numeric input.

No Hyper is not just oversampling. And this is coming from someone who does not like AA at all but I own several products from them.

Oversampling is a new feature of the aforementioned tech, yes, but it's a bit more than that. Different compressing action altogether. With different curves, dynamic action is different. Don't feed the troll just simply try it yourself or go to Gearspace where CEO explained it in the Tiger thread. It's a different ballpark and you have to be tone-deaf to not hear it.

Unlike when you keep increasing oversampling which is usually a very subtle thing reducing aliasing due to the increased frequency range.

Thanks for confirming what I said. "Hyper" is oversampling on EQ, Pre and Compressor with additional significant enhancements for the compressor. Aquamarine is fully Hyper updated.

Typically it's the same reason you seem to have a bug up your ass: I call you guys out on your bs, inconsistencies, nefariousness and trolling and you don't like it. Too bad.

Hyper Hyper!

Come on, it's the way AA offers it,
how can a user be blamed? - - -
That's the questionable part and case
There is a trial version and there is a
full version- - - not the same!
Just pay attention to the very different
download size.
It's how they make it with perfume
to make customers buy something,
but different finally

The reply from AA said NOTHING about hyper tech being "just oversampling"
and you never said that all the parts of Aquamarine 5 used hyper tech.
Keep moving the goal posts and claiming you're right you delusional douchebag.

The new Hyper technology is being used on dynamic processes. Saturation, Preamps (aka saturation), and compression/limiting uses Hyper because they are dynamic processes. Acustica has always had issues with their dynamic processes, and Hyper improves the sound quality and feel by a huge margin. EQ is not dynamic.

I believe that the "Hyper" EQ on Frost is not even sampled, it's fully algorithmic. Whatever they mean by "Hyper" on that fully algorithmic EQ is not comparable to the "Hyper" changes they've made to Volterra Kernel sampled dynamic processes.

Edit: note that they said the EQ's "preamp modules" (saturation) are "Hyper", not the EQ itself.

The EQ's on Acustica stuff already sound incredible and don't really need improvement like the dynamic stuff (unless it's like cpu efficiency or latency or something, but not sound quality). Anyone getting super upset that an Acustica EQ isn't using "Hyper" is either misguided, or is just looking for a reason to get mad.

... you delusional douchebag.

Seems to be the case. But, glad we got closer to sorting out what Hyper actually is despite the name calling and anger from some.
