    Dirk said,

    AMEK is officially a Brainworx brand Now.
    Stay tuned for a press release in the next few days and a plugin launch in May...

    Inspired by my privately owned GML 8200 and SONTEC EQs. The sound of an era... enhanced by BX with filters, TMT, THD, M/S, Gain Scale...

    Are we talking about a hybrid crossover between a GML 8200 Eq and a Sontec Eq ?
    The famous 432 ?
    It is the holy grail of Mastering Eqs :beg:
    what a beauty !
    Hope to try it soon :wink:

    I dont think any current software can truly emulate the 432. Not even hardware clones have been able to to it.

    Edit: AMEK is to become part of MEGA

    Hardware clones have not been able to nail it, so what makes you think that Acustica will? Acustica has made a name emulating extremely rare, high end, super expensive hardware that the majority of its buyers didn't know existed, or never heard one nor are able to use one one to compare it to the software "emulation."
    Disclaimer: If you are an Acustica fanboi don't take what I wrote as implying that Acustica plugins are not good.

    Funny thing. DMG was talking about his compressors emulation unit (track comp 2) on GS, and one of the recurring critic from users was that his LA2A emulation didn't sound....like waves LA2A ! The clone becomes the reference...DMG who's a very polite dude and painfully modelled each part of the original unit gently answered he would check waves offering to see what he could do...

    PA is becomming the new WAVES - without the update fuckery and better quality, of course. But their release cycles are getting shorter and shorter, it is infaltionary. My advice is to wait some months until the plugins you want are on sale and combine vouchers to save hundreds of dollars.

    Mh, if they really used one to get the IRs from, I think you hardly can get closer - apart from using the original itself, ofc.

    I've meanwhile tested round about 14 opto emus that are supposed to emulate either the LA 2A or the CL 1B, and they all sounded different.
    Means at least 12 of them didn't do it properly (I wish I'd knew which did :winker:).

    Tone Projects Unisum is a versatile analog sounding mastering compressor. Gearslutz is blown by posts.

    As an Acustica fanboi, all I say is they sound pretty good once you learn to drive them, which is terribly difficult.

    And most are cheaper than PA stuff.

    The downside is you need to have a very powerful CPU, or are content with bouncing everyonce in a while.

    I dont agree with that, PA makes more offers than Acustica, they never give plugins at 49$, they only offer vouchers winch you need to spend alot to get bigger vouchers ...PA definetely wins on Acustica at sales, CPU, and maybe a few other things

    Wrong, fake news. :no::no::no:.
    Latest PA strip (9000) with my voucher was offered to me for 229$ (original price 349$), the latest AA strip would cost me around 40€ if I buy it (launch price 129€ instead of 219€, minus my 70% off cumulated vouchers (permanent 55% plus 15% since I own both blue eq and cream)).

    I haven't paid more than 40 or 50 € for any AA strips lately, and for PA it's not the case anymore since they've started their sub plans and reviewed their vouchers policies.

    14 different vintage LA2A/CL 1B emulations will all sound different. Anyway, every hardware clone of a mic, compressor, eq or preamp that I ever heard never is exact but will rather get you in close proximity with some closer than others and more an homage than a one to one representation. Age, replaced tubes, power supplies, transformer difference and a plethora or other little or big things contribute to things not cancelling out when stacked against each other. They can all be great in their own way and one person will chose one, another another to which suits their individual tastes. Modeling each little piece of the pie in software will still be another close but no cigar iteration. But I'm sure you grok this 'cause you fucking ROCK all this shit.

    Talami, man I know that, but how much did u spend in order to have that voucher? ...thats the quiestion, even PA gives you great vouchers depending on how much did you spend, you realise you are one of a kind here (please dont be offended, much respect)and not everybody can spend that much... I'm not here to give fake news, I do like Acustica plugins but practical use is pretty much hammered ...personaly i favor PA and other stuff if you ask me, maybe one day when we can afford quantum computers it will be another story

    I think it's good that they're not just churning out shite. If it takes a year from now for their next release and it's actually unique and useable then it'll be worth it.
