Hidden Symmetry

I agree but it's a great way to build up their product stable, especially if it's good. Many out there might be good compressors in general but are lacking compared to h/w. I like & have been using more Black Rooster & Fuse Audio plugins for a few years now, much more than say the old coded Waves.

Black Rooster Audio is excited to present the VLA-FET, inspired by one of the most famous and renowned leveling amplifiers in studio history. This plug-in allows for manipulation of the dynamics in the most intuitive but intense manner, thus giving you a creative tool with an outstanding variety of options, never being overly complex in handling. The super-fast attack and release times will shape out your signal more precisely and efficiently, for forceful drums, bass, and vocals. FEATURES AUTHENTIC CIRCUIT EMULATION Our real-time component based circuit simulation approach allows for authentically capturing the sound and feel of the analog unit as close as possible. All the crucial parts, including in- and output transformers, an additional sidechain, and audio path networks and filters have been faithfully modeled. SSE2 OPTIMIZED CODE DSP operations are pipelined using the SSE2 instruction set. This ensures high-performance operation despite very complex computations.

I'll take iLok over yearly ransom subscriptions any day. I have $35.00 total invested in the one ILok I purchased 15 years ago. The other 3 were free (from purchasing Slate products, not from subscription) plus many devs are going dongle free or iLok Cloud.

Released: "The Expanded version is free for all existing users. Once you login, you will see your download link in the download section of your account. We have released it in Single Version at 48Khz as that is the most efficient version to use and in 99% of the setups, the best version to use. The 96Khz version will be made available in 2 weeks and will be available on request only, as unless the user runs project set to 96Khz, using the 96Khz version will simply increase the memory load for no gain as the hosting DAW would have to downsample to lower sample rate at real time, which causes CPU spikes and sonically often results in worse quality then using the perfectly resampled 48khz version. Having 2 versions on downloads lead to a lot of confusion and often users ended up using incorrect version for their needs, so we have decided to keep things simple going forward. Legacy Versions have also been removed from the downloads as they often lead to confusion (especially for new customers), but they are available on request, so if you have old projects that need the legacy versions and you lose your UFS, you can email us for a download link of any version required. Over the course of next few weeks we will look forward to hearing what you compose using this evolved version and we look forward to releasing the Expansion 3 (already in works) as soon as possible. We will also populate the tutorials in a similar fashion to our Cello, to make sure you can all get the most out of the violin. We will share all our tips and tricks with you and describe each feature in more detail as there is a lot of features to go through now and the Overview is only a brief fly over We have also updated the Manual, which is now very detailed and we hope you find it helpful. Manual is available on the Violin product page."

Yep, this is another excellent one from Greg. He was one of the first to start releasing plugins with an authentic analog vibe starting with his UBK-1 8 years ago.

I lived & worked there in the 80's then moved to Cali in 1990. I went back 10 years later, stayed at the Bellagio which was nice but the whole scene changed & wasn't the same. It went Disneyland & lost all it's charm, glad I left when I did. Still I've got fond memories of working the strip, hanging with celebs, 50c drinks at the Horseshoe & 49c breakfast at 6am after the gigs.

It's a new release that doesn't have an intro sale price..

Great story, must've been nice seeing it from those different perspectives especially at those performances. I was a huge Floyd fan starting around Meddle, one my favorite concerts was from the DSOTM tour at Olympia Stadium in '73. It was in quad, the stage show amazing & they performed one of the greatest albums of all time. It sounded fantastic although Olympia Stadium wasn't very good acoustically. https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/pink-floyd/1973/olympia-stadium-detroit-mi-73d702e9.html

I'm guessing they forgot to change it, it's been 1.1 Beta 4 since they updated it a few weeks ago.

This reverb is/ was shunned by many because it's by 'Waves'. I think I've had it for almost 20 years now. Back then it was used to mimic front to back stage placement of an orchestra by using different instances of the ER only for the lengths all followed by a single tail. This & Renn. reverb were on all my early Cake projects. Haven't used it in a long time though; wonder if the code was updated?

It should be better, it was released 4 years ago. Owners get the upgrade free plus the newly added modules.

"Honey3 packs all the power and musicality of a world-class American console, highly regarded by many industry professionals for its musicality and logical layout. Since 1975, numerous top-selling records have been crafted on this marvellous piece of audio engineering, including gems like Michael Jackson's "Thriller", Paul Simon's "Graceland", as well as many hits by AC/DC, ABBA, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, and many more. We managed to find one of these consoles in stunning condition so we called up our collaborator SoundDrops to meticulously sample the console in its entirety, replicating its full sonic DNA inside our plugin suite, which you can now use to sweet up your tracks. The original console design doesn't feature a compressor though. And we REALLY wanted to include one. So we built it. We built a superb-sounding VCA unit and transformed into an home-brew processor, whose character is a natural extension of the original designs. Honey3 includes 4 separate plugins. A home-brew version of a famous EQ (CLASSIC), a faithful VINTAGE version of the same unit, the above-mentioned VCA compressor, and a channel strip that includes select modules, wisely chosen by the Acustica team."

That's probably because it's uses convolution tech like Acustica Audio. My AA plugin folder is 30GB plus the 3rd party folder for N4 is 20GB. I also put them on one of my internal SSD's. I'd would put these convo Tapes there as well.

If you use SD3 it has a filter in the Grooves section where you can isolate parts. You can play or add them into your midi track & only those parts will appear. IIRC I have some HH grooves & 2 bar drum fills that came with AD2 midi paks, can't remember specifics. I think Odd Grooves has 2 bar fills if those will work.
