One of the easiest installers. Choose a plugin, install vst2/3 and you can already work. Fast, no problems.

 

Do you really want we sign or notarize a folder with 380 vectors? And forced to download it again and again when a single vector is wrong?
Btw aquarius is handling incremental downloads

Yes there could be an optimization moving vectors to a single repository. Anyway it would not work for many customers, since they are running different releases at the same time.

I've always liked acustica audio plug-ins. But they take a lot of cpu at least in my case. I have a phenon x4. Anybody tried this vst? Do you know if it take a lot of CPU?

 

All I get from it is crunchy noise, it only uses 3% CPU doing it, so it's not that, but noise is all it produces

Many have been optimized with the latest core, some like Diamond, Celestial, Crimson take a lot of cpu power, especially Crimson and Celestial.
Your phenom was a good cpu ten years ago, but not today, even AA plugins lighter on cpu would bring yours to its knees.
If you can afford to upgrade go with the latest powerful i7/i9 or a powerful Ryzen.
But even many of us, who have powerful systems have to mix Acustica plugins with light algo plugins, a wonderful match.
If you work with only small projects you can stay exclusively with Acustica plugins, for mastering as well.

 

and wonder reaper is so cpu efficient with acustica plugins , feeled like having multible i9 runnin in compare to other DAW's

its not cpu power.....its lack off efficiency of DAW inner workings

 

Realy? I try whit reaper.

 

That's no exaggeration.
I got Studio One to fall down dead with six stereo tracks with Crimsons (everything on) and a Celestial on the Main Out at 4096 samples latency.
CPU meter banged up full and no audio output.
I set up the same thing in Reaper and it played perfectly hitting well under 40% cpu.

 

I wish Studio One would behave the way that Reaper does with regards to CPU. For me, Presonus Studio One would be the ultimate DAW if this were the case.

Now that I'm mostly Acustica for ITB, I almost feel like for me, its mandatory to switch to Reaper.

 

well yeah, but Acustica could optimize for certain DAW's to match those inner workings.
however, I do understand that there are different priorities.

 

When I think that it's only in the last couple of years that computers have been good enough to run Acustica plugins (almost) comfortably,
it makes me realise how far ahead of his time John Charles was when he started doing this all those years ago.

That was just a reference to something he said to some berk the other day who was making an arse of himself.

 

Try increasing your audio interface latency as high as it'll go.

 

Several UAD users have said they have nothing like the El Rey in their offerings, many, many are buying it, no hype, honest truth people.

 

indeed some indicator there..

does acustica plugins sound better at -18DBFS ?

 

When I was going through some tracks doing the final polishing, I went ahead and gainstaged everything going into Aqua's and Nebula to be -18dbfs using Hornet's TheNormalizer (versus my guessing on VUMT's meters), and I got some additional clarity, weight and depth doing this. I don't think I'd worry too much going through the mixing process, making adjustments, but I do it prior to freezing or bouncing the track.
