Actually I didn't do a side-by-side comparison, so I can't really help in that regard. For what it's worth I plan to use Capital Chambers exclusively as a send FX to add a subtle amount of space and depth. I currently use IKM Sunset Sound Studio Reverb and Waves' Abbey Road Chamber Reverb for that job, but neither gives me the sound I'm looking for. My short 15-minute demo with Capitol Chambers enabled me to get much closer to the sound I want for drums, vocals, and guitars. In contrast I plan to use Sound City Studios for more dramatic effect processing to create menacing guitars, monster drums, and epic backing vocals. Cheers...

I just bought and finished demoing Capital Chambers, and the CPU usage on my system (7-yr old HP laptop / Win 10 /Focusrite Scarlett 4i4/ Cubase13) was fairly modest. So now I can use all the Sound City Studios modules except its Chamber and then follow with Capital Chambers.

The Native Access Q3 Update notes (linked above) are encouraging. I just hope NI can deliver at this point...

Having watched Sound City (the documentary) many times, I had to try out Sound City Studios (the plugin). I really like the sound, unfortunately as others have noted, the CPU usage is very high. However, I noticed that most of the load is due to the Chamber module and, since that's not used in many of the presets I like, I decided to buy it for the other modules. I'm jazzed that for just $34 I can add a bit of that Sound City vibe to my music.

Now if only I could play well.

Same here. 🙂

For those who missed it the last time ... and actually need yet another LoFi plugin. Review: https://bedroomproducersblog.com/2024/07/20/karanyi-sounds-lofi-lite/ D/L: https://karanyisounds.com/product/lofi-lite/ref/tomislav/

I'm obviously a human (see recent photo below).

Plugin Boutique must be experiencing a severe robot infestation. I had to click through three I'm-not-a-robot buttons. WTH?!?

DDSP morphs audio into a range of different instruments. Unlike MIDI notes, DDSP preserves the nuances of pitch and dynamics for expressive neural synthesis.

Well, at least they don't require you to re-install your entire operating system.

When I click that one, I get the following warning:
