pseudopop Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Looks like their copywriter has just learned about apostrophes and quotation marks: 'Creamy' 'vintage' "mojo" 'Cream-style' 'Frankenstein' ‘Old school’ “rare” "Nice". 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy1 Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I guess their plugins are great but outside of that there is much to dislike such as their delivery system. I've heard more than once some of their stuff is not resource friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackson white Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) Grammar be tossed. I'm holding out for 'Cholesterol'. "Freely choke any number of cpu cores you might have and grind your mojo to special flavored dust with this mythical tool. Featuring a hyper skeuomorphic user interface inspired by vintage science fiction illustrators utilizing a plethora of ultra-rare knobs which we can't be bothered to explain in our famously 'old school' documentation. Go grab it and channel your frustration thanks to the gargantuan downloads that will probably be completed by January 7, 2022."

Larry Shelby Posted December 21, 2021 Author Share Posted December 21, 2021 You may hate on Acustica, but their plugins sound INSANELY GOOD! Resource intensive? YES... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That does seem to be the case. Recently A/B'd Ultramarine vs. the UAD 670 in a complex mix and could clearly hear the difference I was looking for, once it was done pummeling a fairly robust cpu. It's got me checking prices on the latest from Intel. fwiw, did buy the Ultramarine, just having some fun with marketing which has nothing to do with function/performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abacab Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Don't forget to "purge" the Acustica "Aquarius" installers following successful plugin installations. I recovered 3.5GB of my SSD drive space that was being used for this purpose. In Aquarius settings, Installation tab, Stage area path, "Purge" button... 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 There’s an Uninstall option in the Acustica Installer app. Would that take care of it all? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you just want to purge the installation files from the staging area, and not actually uninstall the plugin. The Aquarius app apparently doesn't drop the installers in the normal downloads area on your machine, at least on Windows, it does not. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To set the path click the gear in the upper right of Aquarius then click the Installation tab If all projects use the same sample rate, there is no need to have all the samples in the nebula repository. Deleting unused samples may shrink the install footprint considerably. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's only 7 channel strips. Not enough for a multitrack session. Just sayin' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t do this, have tried in the past and led to a lot of minor issues like plugins deauthorising, etc. Not worth the hassle. Acustica should really only give user option of downloading sample rates they want, massive bloat the current way 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acustica should really only give user option of downloading sample rates they want, massive bloat the current way This makes total sense to me. Same as there's no point installing plugin types I'll never use. I pretty much only install VST3 these days unless there's an issue with the VST3 version for some reason, or they don't have one available. Most installers allow you to select only VST3, but still, frustratingly, some don't. Acustica is good in that way at least, but I like the idea of also being able to trim them down by only choosing the required sample rate too. Great idea! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
