    Now, algo companies have also done a big step up.
    Softube, SSL, Korneff, TDR, DMG, Fabfilter, Overloud, PA etc.
    But Acustica has also stepped up its game with the latest Howie Weinberg Mastering Console, Silver reverb and other newer releases.
    Silver is something truly unique in the reverb world, one has to try it to see the new technology.
    Not only is the technology closer to analog expensive units but it is also opening new possibilities, an upgrade to analog maybe, truly opening up different possibilities that other companies have yet to follow.
    Your thoughts?

    I've been a big user of AA products for a few years now. And with HWMC I'm in love. I love the sound from the preamps and all channels how they gel together.

    Saturation is getting better. But as a daily user,
    I Don't like the compressors on all Acustica plugins, and it got to be addressed.

    Legend says that Greg Wells when made the El Rey compressor convinced Serban Ghenea to make some presets. At the present time El Rey is still not the goto buss compressor plugin (his assistant said is used only if the session they receive contains it). That says a lot about Acustica: snake oil to the moon and back.

    Yup. Just recently for my instrumentals I've either been using Snow or Blonde for each individual channel. Then on the mixbus it consists of Purple, Coral Baxter EQ, and HWMC for my latest chain I'm working on.

    The thing with Acustica’s own aqua plugs is that they are super CPU intensive and can’t really be used as freely as most algo plugs (meaning it kinda goes against the digital ease of use imo). Nebula libs are a bit better in the usage. I think until their plugs can be used as many times as algo plugs (that are very good too) such as Softube, PA, etc they are not a true revolution in plugins

    True, aqua, on the contrary, loads the processor less, since this is a version with fixed capabilities.
    in N4 you can squeeze out the maximum quality)
    You need to study first!
    (Have you ever read what I wrote earlier?)

    True. I’m waiting for that N4 price to drop back down to $99 if they ever do it again. But I missed what you wrote earlier. I’ll go look for it.

    Your heart
    HWMC sounds incredible, that EQ and ADC combination is sooooo good, specially if you need to add some agressiveness to the sound, really a step forward in terms of sound....BUT

    First, i think this is the largest AA GUI i've seen in vertical terms, which i pretty bad if you're running it in low resolution screens. Yes, it's stated in the requirements that you need full HD minumum, but most of AA releases can fit just fine in resolutions as low as 720p, so if anybody is running an older rig expecting it to work, it won't.

    Second, (and i'm going full snake oil dude for this one) A modern day plugin layout, even if analog inspired, should be self explainatory at this point. I'm not going too deep into this, but it's bad, and confusing as hell, sometimes even contradictoy even after reading the manual, and god have mercy on your soul if you tried it the first days since some labels were even more f****d up.

    I'll probably gonna buy it anyway since i've tried it in a few masters and i think i got the concept of how it works and i liked the results, but i think those drawbacks will add up with the typical AA ones and keep quite a bit of people away from it.

    ADC in digital form sounds pretty crazy.
    But it actually becomes clear as you delve deeper into the topic.
    In one of his videos, Giancarlo said about the use of different methods and equipment for removing impulses.
    (He also noted the strong influence of various ADCs on the quality of the resulting material)

    In these issues,it remains only to agree with him, since all this really affects the result to a large extent.

    But commerce more and more covers their territory.
    You will probably be able to see them release a ton of footage soon.
    Everything in order not to solve really difficult problems!

    For 10 years, you have seen the same algorithm from different angles!
    This is one of the most successful And one of the dumbest companies I've seen ever)

    (Well, as you understand,
    Such an impenetrable defense cannot be cracked! This is the most advanced technology)

    Therefore, you just have to get heavenly pleasure from installing these wonderful plug-ins from Aquarius, and also do not worry about problems with the incomplete work of their resources, Everything has been taken care of for you!
    If something goes wrong,
    You will be told that you yourself are to blame!)


    Sincerely Prinz Eugen :"D
