Audiority Space Age 555 v1.0.3 - Vintage Tape Echo / Chorus / Reverb (AAX, AU, CLAP, VST3)

[heyheycnv]

This was an ever-increasingly rare "no demo, instant purchase" from me. Glad to see new emulations of old gear [that haven't already been modeled to death by every company and their mother].

And not obnoxiously expensive either, particularly with the discount. Been seeing a few obscure 2 and 3 band EQ's for too much money from some other companies lately. This ended up costing me $29.

I love Audiority but Im not using this on multiple tracks or busses like those "obnoxiously expensive" plugins. Apples/Oranges.

@Luca: Sorry for being that guy that always asks for more, but... Do you think you could add volume and pan settings for each head? I guess these settings will only apply in Full Stereo mode, not in Fake Stereo mode.

Just got it

Thanks Luca

This is really nice. Love the way the age control affects it.

I'm surprised by how loud the noise is on the delay even with the noise at zero, is that how the original unit is? I checked some videos and they didn't seem to be anything like as noisy.

Are you sure it's on zero and not on 5.0 %?

Yeah, it's on zero. Have a listen:

Noted. I've adjusted the compander to have a better SNR. The noise floor on the hardware is around 60dB, but on the plugin sounds worse than that. Will be fixed with the first update.

An "extras" panel would be nice, but will see the light with v1.1 rather than v1.0.x

Cheers,

That would be great. No hurry!

Looks very good, already got the Nembrini Audio 501 echo, but will give it a go

I’ve found Audiority modeling to be more accurate than Nembrini.

[mi-os]

Pretty cool it's a 501 for a change. Might be well worth the asking price.

I prefer the original pic by the way - looks quite a bit more tasteful to me tbh...

There's one practical thing about the GUI I'd like to request. When you turn Repeat Rate with Sync on, it shows the delay time signature. When you turn Repeat Rate with Sync off, it doesn't show the delay time (ms). You need to move the cursor to the Mode Selector to see the delay time. Below the Mode Selector there is room for a display of the delay times. This would also make it instantly clear which heads are selected. Or if you don't want to mess with the design, you could add the heads delay times in the footer on the left or right side of the FULL STEREO button.

Minor nitpick, btu I still can't quite understand why this UI decision was made: why do the knobs on some Audiority plugins have no shadows? It just looks a bit strange.

Because I suck at 3D?

EDIT: found a way to keep the shadows in the bg render. v1.0.1 will have the updated UI.
