Conclusion is Carlos , Piotr and the team .... tools are crucial when you know when and how to use them , what prupose they will serve and if they gonna be usefull in the specific type of process , Production (i mean all phase from pre prod to mastering) is composed of several phases and each one needs a specific procedure with tools that serves different needs , and differents ways !!!
If you don't feel the need for something :
1) you're already covered
2) you don't know what can be its utility witch means work needs to be done to master your craft
By the way mastering the craft is something we all do until the end !!
If a tool makes you gain some time : Buy
If a tool makes you inspired : Buy
If a tool sounds killa but is a pain to use : ditch
If a tool in any sens makes your work more solid (cpu hit , stability ect other another one ) : buy
If a tool you don't know if you need it : not buy !!
Love it. Specially when Zo calls me by my name (it warms up my heart... hahahah 😆😅🤣😂

True, haha.
I only visit KVR now to see if someone pm'd me about my IKM Total Studio Maxgrade (I am giving an amazing deal!) -

Just discovered something is going on bad on most high buffer sizes with sound when applying AA
Sorry ;(
I like AA quite a bit but it feels we need a whole building full of computers to run them at lowest buffer size (I can run as low as 48 samples!)

I like purple but still anyway believe what top mixers are saying the only real gamechanger is not any particular plugin but our skills
But my GAS mind is whispering also 'but they help make it easier....'
Speaking of skills (and thanks for reminding me AGAIN of this, lol), I found a very good video (with the one and only Kush guy) where he talks about EQ'ing vocals (and I feel it applies to everything) but not in the typical way, finally someone who gives a good insight and different approach other than "cut here, boost there, compress here, this ratio, this fast attack, this slow release" (which every single youtube video says, lol):

Right now I am seeing AA as a coloring tool, because even now with my Babyface PROFS (review coming soon Piotr, I have a GIANT list already of first impressions),
on the lowest buffer size AA provokes playback crackles (even ZL versions).
And one thing I don't like is having to add something AFTER the fact, I wanna hear how it sounds while recording.
(and GOLD adds this je ne sais quoi to guitars (EQ) that to me makes them sound thicker without losing the guitar essence (metallic barely fretted string sound).
Compared them to Softube Tube-Tech EQ (which probably is my "best" EQ) and Purple and Track5 Pulteq's and Pink.
But since now I got Vol. 4 too I don't know what else I would want (or even need, lol).- 1

Grr, been playing with Gold and Purple... idk if I need them... comparing with Pink and other stuff... sounds different, yeah, but I don't know if they would be my endgame or if I already have them.

Love it (I mean the OP's joke)

Sounds pretty decent at least, right? Will try to play with it more (I just listened to the demo)

That code doesn't work at JRR...where is it for?
MAYBE here: http://www.pspaudioware.com/plugins/reverbs/psp_2445/
Didn't try because I don't have an account nor want to create one. -
Now I remembered why I let Overloud die... it's been a year or more since this issue, every time I want to login I get this message, and I have to reset my password... I hate time consuming protocols...
The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later. -

The 25-, 37-, 49- & 61-key intuitive MIDI Controller.
Unrivalled access to Ableton Live.
Custom Modes: Control anything.
Velocity-sensitive keys and pads.Wow, I like that it's cheap! Finally! The 61 keys' price is less than the double of the price of the 25 keys'

Ah yes, I've heard that Reaper is ''probably'' the best in handling and distributing the load on DSP (sorry CPU) hungry plugins!
Yeah, that's the ONLY reason I stayed with it....... 😆

PC or Mac? channel insert or Group/Bus insert? What Daw?
PC. Reaper 6. I can tell right away looking at the Performance Window. I tested several Acquas.
Inserts. -

What is destroying me now is what you and ZokZTM stated: Nebula is providing better quality than aqua plugins
Just checked your updated form, mate you really improved it. Thanks so much!

N4 brings lots of interesting possibilities to the table. You can load (the N4) version of your Acqua plugins within N4. This opens up the ability to create your ''setups'' - like presets from multiple sources etc. Also N4 give additional DSP buffer size option (in addition to your DAW). N4 has it's own S/R conversion and it will run properly at 384kHz as well (for those demanding mastering sessions :-). Also 3rd party N4 libraries are indeed great. Tim Petherick in particular. Apparently N4 Acquas versions loaded inside of N4 will for all those reasons sound ''better'' than their Acqua counterparts. Haven't tested this myself but trust the source very much (mastering engineer).
For those who are considering purchasing Acustica Audio's stuff. Please test the workflow properly before parting with the cash. Especially if you're on the Mac. There you might look at the Modula lite purchase to come to the rescue.
Also on the PC, do your testing guys - first. As the plugins look great (and sound very nice for the most part) temptation to purchase is indeed very high, BUT stability can be an issue, also CPU tax has to be taken into account. I use them less and less in the sessions as they were not worth the trouble. I'm primarily on the Mac. Got the Windows PC server setup just to try to run those Acustica plugs I've got.
So, installed some Acustica stuff on the brand new PC, and it isn't really a smooth sailing. N4 lost it's Repositories the very first day... still can get it to work.
Just my two pennies
On my end using Purple or Single parts of a Strip (like just a preamp or just an eq or just a compressor) barely uses CPU.
Versus using a Chain it goes for 3 to 5% cpu usage, no matter what. -
I am sad coz this thing is fugly 😂🤣😅

yes...the upgrade from 1 to 4 is $$419.16 with code GROUP
https://www.jrrshop.com/softube-volume-4-upgrade-from-volume-1
Thanks so much.
Although I can upgrade directly already in the Softube's website for 499.
So I would save at least $224 but not the 499-419.16 .
Thanks again King.- 1

Does this help to upgrade to Vol 4?

Mate, you're awesome. I read the file now. My suspicions were right. I guess I will (.... confidential .... )

You need Libre Office or Open Office, I am afraid. But I can convert it into xls format and resend it to you if you have only MS Office
Nope, it's ok, just downloaded it and installed it.
