It's your thread, and as a Mod, I said it's ok for you to ask advice about which plugins to use...

Forget about comments that are discussing the content of your thread. Or your attitude , some people have to go the personal level always... ignore them, and do what you have to do.

 

Huh? I know. haha. What are you trying to say? I don't get you.
Why are you tagging me?
It's fine to ask about plugins! You seem to have misunderstood something again, because you aren't making sense.
Please re-read #10 Oly...Try and make sense of the subtlety here...
It's called 'projection', but you are taking the op too literally! haha.
And he's done it twice, he's so good at it.
You have fallen for it, I'm afraid to say.

Let's get back to this tread's topic.

OK, so I'm going to tell you some plugins I think you should try:

Solid State Logic SSL Native Plugins v6.5.30
Empirical Labs Arousor
Softube Harmonics Analog Saturation Processor
Oeksound Soothe2
Softube Drawmer S73
Softube FET Compressor
Softube Harmonics Analog Saturation Processor
Softube Summit Audio TLA-100A
Fire Sonic Fire Presser
Slate Digital FG-X
Slate Digital Virtual Bus Compressors
NEOLD V76U73
Mathew Lane TiCo
If you play guitar and or do reamping, look at Neural DSP and see which ones fit for you.

 

I'd like to add:
Weiss stuff,
Chandler Limited,
Kush Audio Omega Transformers
Pulsar Mu
Softube Amp Room has some good reviews and ofc
Softube Tube-Tech CL 1B

 

Pianoteq (instrument as a plugin)

 

Hi all,

I was wondering the same thing. Running win stuff in parallel will be a pain ass, dealing with I/O latency with your sound card. The boot camp is the best solution.

 

Hi @garfinkle , I'm not a mod but as an old fuck veteran here I can also tell your question is legit. Also, as a geek-nerd-techie wow, I don't know how did you do that lol. But congrats

For the moment I can suggest you to try some Softube plugins that are like more complete versions of some of their classic hardware. The "MK II" ones:
Softube Tube-Tech Classic Channel Mk II
Softube Tube-Tech CL 1B Mk II
Softube Tube-Tech Equalizers Mk II



Have a blast trying Win plugins and if you like it you may consider to switch to run Windows natively (bootcamp) in your slave Mac. Like others have been said, but no hurry. Cheers

 

Please can you tell me if it’s possible if there’s a way to open a pc plug-in on your Vienna slave and route a logic track to vepro to it ? Thanks

 

No, I have a legit license. I find VEP incredibly useful.

Thanks Oly. I assumed my OP to be fairly benign and straightforward. Im a little confused by some of the responses.

And yes, Im running Parallels because I only have one Slave license and often have to jump back to the Mac version of VEP depending on the project. So far it all seems reasonably stable.

 

Cheers. Yeah, it was the latest batch that in spired me to hack around with a Windows version of VEP on the MacBook. I still can't believe I got it working, not because it isn't possible but because Im a totally analogue guy.

 

YES!!!!!

Thus my excitement in my apparently naive and anger inducing OP.

 

Ahh yes.

Excellent. Thanks

 

Anyone compared Vienna Ensemble to audiogridder? I was hoping there was something more 'pre-ready' and audiogridder feels in the beta stages still (and I'm too impatient and want to use everything now lol). I'm gonna make the change to a host/slave setup instead of Parallels; the ram usage is just too high before even getting started. I have 24gb on my imac and it still struggles to run 1 instance of Gullfoss, the VM that is. Would like to know how VE fairs up on this setup. Would definitely be interested, gonna go check it out

 

Again, nobody was angry. You are projecting again.

How angry is that? I'll tell you: it's not.

 

Yeah. I had zero luck getting Audiogridder to function onMohave or Catalina.

 

If you say so...

Whoops. I quoted you again.

Sorry.

 

Haha. Yes, I do say so. And everybody else can probably ascertain the same.
And I only said:

So you obviously took that onboard, thanks.

 

No wuckers.

 

I did only some brief tests, and it seems to me VEP offers way lower latency for playing virtual instruments live,
on the other hand AudioGridder transmits plugin GUI from slave to main DAW which makes it more convenient workflow imo,

24GB RAM should be plenty, unless using heavy virtual instruments, 8GB ram is enough for slave,
my advice for Windows build to run those on (no matter if Parallels or physical PC) is probably "Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 1809.1131 LITE by oprekin"

 

G'day, down under!
