Not sure why this wasn't on my radar. Great sounding synth. I was just looking at this yesterday, but balked at the $199 price. No brainer at $29.

Absolutely!  Agreed 100% great sounding synth!

Both have uses in music production, but Windows operating system (be it on the PC or on the Mac hardware) is better for music production if over 96kHz sampling rate is desired. This is due to the sample buffer capped @ 2048 samples on the Mac OSX operating system.

Personally I use Mac for composing / arranging @ 96kHz 64 bit float (Cubase Pro @ 2048 buffer at mixing) and PC with Windows for Mix capture and mastering  (@ 384 or 192 kHz with buffers up to 16384 /  8192 respectively).

And MacBook Pro M1 Pro is a beast for Davinci Resolve 17.4.3 and Monterey OSX

I avoid in the DAW summing by a big margin! The hardware summing always sounds better to me😀

PM me ... first comes first served

I'm tempted by this.  Is this an unusually good price?  Also I'm just dipping my toe into orchestration, is this overkill?  I have BBC Discovery right now which is nice but feels a little limited.

Hi Lee, If starting out there's a lot to be said for the Orchestrator itself. Depending on your orchestration knowledge-level you can possibly learn a great deal from it if you are a beginner even more so.

I would also consider conposercloud plus subscription especially if you qualify for the educational discount!

Bravo! Was just talking about it with my spouse! Brilliantly put and well done!

Of course I don't know for sure but if it's a plugin from '90-ties then my best guess is it has a bland sound but good coding... as opposite to today's competition  

... that may well be the case... still sonnox plugs from those days are still very good and respected!

Mac only. Also requires ilok dongle. Did I mention mac only?

 

I remember using DUY plugins  in the studio in the late nineties  (Shape and DaD Tape) they sounded good and were one of the first guys on the block. Digital was hype, so that might explain (not justify) their hyped-up prices... These days even 96 bucks for a Tape sim is a hard call - due to the vast competition.

I also do wonder how does the DUY stuff compare sound wise to the other players...

This looks like the same package they have been selling for ages and it is a frigging mess. It's just plainly bad. Save your money for something else. This is a POS library. Avoid it at all cost.

This actually is the library that turned me totally off from Aria Sounds. 

Kiitos Tapsa!... thnx for the insights!

This one looks interesting... anyone tried it out? How does it compare to Tantra 2 and Cable guys shape?

Uad and softube on top for me , waves eqs are also really great. ...i fire the the 2 first on vip s in the mix , waves is all you lll need for the rest ...

Great thanks!... strange though as Lindell as developer is really on par with Softube...

So don't get it lol .... only thing i found great is the cpu hit * .....  api is punch and clarity in my book , booth are absent from this ...really strange 

Thanks Zo, was thinking about it, but not interested now... UAD and Acustica Pink will suffice...

worth $29? I may use my $50 voucher on it...

I think so Walter, but I would quickly  demo it just to be sure it is something you actually need and will use 🙂. Neold stuff sounds great the 76 and Big Al... use it all the time here

nah lol it's a way to tell Larry "29 $ , only 29 $ deal !!!!!" ahahahaha

was thinking the same @Zo.. Nice tool this Warble but still bit pricey, although I love all Neold stuff so far!

It’s cold around here at this time of the year. A De-icer will be handy to unlock the car if necessary.

Funny I was just thinking about it.... was driving 4 hours through blizzard today and was just defrosting the car after journey... it was scary and was thinking about de-icer.... or de-froster 🙂

Put it in the cart. Price was 29.99, added the bx_tuner (on sale for 5 dollars today), added the generic $25 voucher, price dropped to 9.99 and thus a real No Brainer.

Hi Bapu, do you have a generic PA $25 voucher? Cheers!

To compare...  If you have used the VLB902, the Lindell works a lot harder than the LRS version, so you'll have to dial back the mix knob on the Lindell if you want similar results.  I like the Lindell better.  The VLB is slightly smoother on the super top end (like, beyond the threshold of hearing).  If you listen to the detector on the Lindell, the volume will change if you adjust the range.  This doesn't happen on the LSR Audio version.  

The Lindell is much more like the hardware in my experience.  Simple, quick dessing.  

It does work at 384kHz, if you are a psychopath that works at that sampling rate.  There's stupid "noise" feature I quickly turn off.  It oversamples to 16X.  You can resize it, sidechain into it, and change the calibration of it.  

Thanks for the insights e-cue! Appreciate it!

Re psychopath: Do yourself a favour and capture your mix at 384kHz - 64 bit float and then whatever you do normally, (presume 48kHz 24 bit (?). 

Then do Mastering @ 384k and 48k... then convert that final master to the final delivery format.... Then call back and call me psychopath 🙂

This is how I work in mixing where tracking out the stems through my analog gear and analog summing is a part of a workflow.

With few additional precautions, nothing comes closer than this to the analog sound. 384k (and 192k which I sometimes master at if I need UAD plugins) give you resolution, it is as simple as this... same as in video production when you capture at 4k, 6k 8k you get better detail... same is true for the audio world!

Meter on this thing can hit your CPU harder than expected.  I only use the meter when I need to.  

Sounds like a DBX902 to me.  Slightly improved on the VLB 902 from LSR sonically, who must've done this version, and the added features are welcome.  No brainer at $29.  

Thanx for the insights e-cue! Did you perhaps try it in a mastering? How transparent is it? Does it work at 384kHz? I'm away from my worstation for a few days, just curious... cheers 🙂

Thanks Larsy for everything you have done for us in this CW community in the past years!

Happy  New plugin Year 20'22 gals and guys! Stay Finspired!
