Ah so like the SSL G bus comp that a lot of folks mix into for glue, this Iron/Shadow is a glue comp during the mixing process as opposed to the mastering process which is where Ozone would come in (?)..

Ozone , is more like a fixing tools for me , it really lacks style , but it's not what it's here for ... if you reach the mastering stage happy with what you giot , ozone is the thing .... just enhance stuff smoothly when need , reduce dinamic and gain loudness if neeeded ....

Shadow and iron are more like "vernis / patine" to make the whole mix sounds cohesiv and dance the same dance

To me rectifying diodes and corresponding capacitors are no mystery. Only one thing that really bugs me about labels - shouldn't microfarads be labeled with u, e.g., 1uF, 2uF, etc.? 1mF is perceived as 1 millifarad. Other than that, this compressor is the best I've heard in PA range.

During the last sale I was on the fence of buying Elysia Alpha Comp, but came across this video and changed my mind.

 

Never had one issue with both, try it by yourself ...

Hey friends sorry for the delay , sunday is alwayz rock n roll here with kids ....

spl iron versus sh ? 

Well as always it mainly depends on what you have already , spl iron has more vibe and more tones , shadow while precious about your material , is really printing by its personnaly the sound specially his ability to glue and even merge kick bass ect ... pretty unique ... i remeber prefering the iron versus green shadow witch is by the way more vibey than the red , but man the Red has a fuking class , pedigree .... 

So for mastering or to slap post mix : shadow hills winn

to use during production or mixing : iron 

Now , notice several things: the shadow is cleaner (aliasing wise ) has a big interface and can do more compressionsince it has 2 compressors ... the spl iron : hard to make it sound bad in anybsetting  ... less clean , gain stage a pain sinçe its 2db steps (we asked for a linear output ...wait and see) sio it can easily treak people during

Conclusion : if younown vibey compressors and want sole for the master bus : shadow 

if you want something  vibeyband and atvthe same time for your master bus , but don t mind some dirt ... : iron .

I knkw it doesn thelp dat much , but it s all subjectif and based on my style /liking/ and finding .

I think i bougth it at 75 if i recall well and i was happybbout it lol ...

Yep Larry is right , old stuff but half of my students gobfor that systelatically , quality edge well !!

Demo is over , should i retry this ? I ve found it flateterring , like too much sugar on a cake to make you go mmmm

Really good and in depth video Zo. I like how you kept the same music going throughout most of the video. That allowed me to really concentrate on the reverb itself. Nice choice of sharp transients in there! : )

I like how you went through each room, then each chamber, then each ISO Booth! And you also let the reverb speak for itself. 

Also liked the pace of the video. Nice and relaxed. I didn't get the sense that you were trying to shove a lot of info down my throat in a short period of time! As it goes it develops, allowing me to think while watching. Nice! : )

And boy did I get some ideas from that!! Thanks again Zo.

Grem i did the video really like i do when i test stuff , and like you hate guyz going fast , making ab in diffrents parts , multipliying sources  ... great sometime but a lot of time it deserves the goal ...

Lol sorry for gas guyz ... but for real this is imho one of the very best release from ik , better than the tapes overwall mainly because usuability and interfacing .

soundwise it s like having a vet by your side , feeling confident that he will make the right choice letting you focus on art , not anything else ....

For me it s really a fresh air , i love the slate , but like omnisphere , too much choiçe kills it ....

All good here , seems i have this issue with Mtron pro only ...gonna redo an install .... so love the new stuff added guyz !!

Guyz i noticed that Mtron Pro new version whe n you click on the browser there's easy 2 sec before it opens list , is it the same pain on the VSM update ?

Well I went ahead and bought it. I have been curious for a while but held off on price.

I like it. I have some other options like Arturia's Solina V, Hollow Sun's Prog Pack and Soniccouture's " The Attic 2" 

The Attic 2 is probably closest in range of sounds available. I think the VSM has a certain immediacy that makes it easier to layer different sources together and shape the results. The filter and envelope options for each layer give a lot of scope for editing.  Being able to control the filters with after touch is useful too.

That said The Attic, being a Kontakt (player) library does leave you the option of building layered multis far beyond the two sources available in VSM and It has non- string machine instruments. VSM has way more presets.

I am pretty happy with the purchase even though it was a non essential for me given my other options. 

These things take me back to the days when as a spotty student oik I got to try a Solina in a local music shop. They had the amp up loud as all it took was for me to play a few block chords to bl-ow me away with the power.

The big difference for me is Fx , the flanger , chorus , ensemble ect in geforce stuff are just authentic versus uvi arturia and Ni stuff 

Thks Matt for the details ... this is my most used uvi library .... last video on the chandler , the sea sound you hear with the brushed drums comes from it ... 

Any words on attack ?

All I can really think to want from PA is to get rid of the minimum spend on the codes but of course they just got done shaming us on how we were abusing the codes and their system and all that so that ain't happening 

True at least for licence transferts !!  I had a 50 euros vauchers and 62 euros for 4 licences transfert znd no way to use it , vaucher went lost ...

The weak point for me is browsing ... and interfacing , with the amount of expansion , still some work. To be considered even after rescent updates imho ...

When i need strings machine this is it , and not only !! @simon yep still after those years , i do think gforce stuff are highly underrated , mainly due to no hype and few releases ... 

Did ya guyz tried it ? I know a lot of you use acoutic based drums , this thing is just a beauty on those ...

NB : Add to cons : No A/B  and not easy to master / find the sweet spot / better mix in ...
