dubdisciple Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Remember when we got 3 console emulation in cakewalk like 10 years ago? Cakewalk did a lot of things ahead of it's time. I will probably snatch anyway to compare. Thanks 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cakewalk did a lot of things ahead of it's time. I will probably snatch anyway to compare. Thanks I always prefered the WAVES one (it does let you setup a bus and then easily switch between the options and make adjustments without having to do a track by track). But liked the Cakewalk idea of having it in the pro-channel with the abilty to set it up across tracks pretty quickly and no seat limits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sergio Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) I love this plugin. Already have it on my Diamond pack but an extra WUPed copy is welcome. Edited January 20, 2023 by Sergio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't have time to watch the whole thing, but I'm definitely going to watch this later. Thanks for sharing it. I find it valuable and will try out his recommendations.

Esteban Villanova Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Sounds great in the video! In Reaper the Tukan plugins can do something similar and they're free! Can anyone comment on the CPU hit of the NLS? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly old plugin at this point (not suggesting that is a bad thing) it just isn't like some modern CPU hogs. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but this is really only a saturation plugin (for lack of better term), where CLA Mixhub is basically a full channel strip The equivilant would be more like running this plus WAVES E channel on all your tracks.

For this goal the distortion/saturation of the console is the key element. IMO Waves did a great job here; I like the way the interface of this plugin works and also the sonic results. The only better implementation IMO is the Mix Engine FX in the Studio One DAW, where compatible plugins (like Softube Tape f.i.) alter the mix engine behavior seamlessly. But unfortunately not all plugins are compatible with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people put the track one either first in the chain on every track or last in the chain on every track. Then put the bus version on your master bus. After that switch between console types on the master bus (assuming you have all the tracks grouped to the same one) to see which flavor you want for your production. Unless you have it on all tracks and have more than a track or two, the effects are going to be super subtle. Each option more or less provides little variations in EQ curves/Saturation/Stereo imaging. It isn't meant to dramatically alter the sound/mix. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Derbidge Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Doesn't seem to be much difference than the v10 I had installed but I do use this one a lot so it's nice to know I don't have to worry about wup with the latest version if v10 were to ever stop working. I haven't had that happen yet since v9 with Waves but you never know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
