No win situation around here, I'll just stop wasting my time posting actual professional advise and opinions.

Best of luck to you all in your emulation search.

 

Spend some time and test for yourself, as EVERY pro does.

 

For what it's worth, I appreciate your posts here.

 

I am a pro.

And of course I test stuff.

I'm not testing Access Analog, as I don't have the need for it myself personally right now, nor desire to sign up and install whatever, as I thought it would be easy peasy for you to post a "before and after" portion of 'something' as you are giving continual testimonial to it.

I'm not writing it off, I'd just like to hear what you hear in it, and how it works for you. Fair enough right?

 

It's someone actually losing something if they were not given something that they didn't asked for?

You never searched? That means a lot about your opinons on digital audio.

 

While it should be easy for someone to just post raw/unprocessed stem and then processed, it would also be just as easy to add "that missing 10%" using other plugins and gear like we all do in our chains anyway. The difficult part is trusting someone to do something straight up, when they already know it is possibly going to disprove what they have been saying for however many pages now on a forum. It's easier to just pretend to be such a busy pro to not have time for such things.

Snake oil does not always arrive with separate hiss and rattle stems. This is the problem with obvious shills.

 

agreed. I was being "nice" and trying to be open-minded even in the blowback mist of sailing into the wind and cresting waves... ;)

If someone wants to slip out back with the Irish goodbye after spending enough time s̶h̶i̶l̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ recommending a product or service, I think it's fairly safe to call it as it is...

 

i admittedly have zero clue about access analog, so bear with me here, but doesnt that sort of service require extra digital steps? Bounce, send through the computer somehow, then converted to analog, and back to digital. I vaguely remember hearing something about offline processing, where a 3 minute file would be processed in a minute. IDK, the whole thing seemed a bit gimmicky to me hence why i never really looked into it and never tried it. I also own most gear i want, as well as every single plugin ever released (lol) , so don't really need it.

 

Im a fan of many Acustica plugins, and do think R2R did a favor for them inadvertently. Its been a slow process, but since release of R2R, they have actually been removing the bloatware, as well as fixing many of the bugs. His attitude on GS has also changed. He's still often times defensive, but much less so, and Acustica has done a fairly decent job at implementing requests, and fixing bugs on newer plugins almost immediately. His marketing nonsense is still ridiculous, but i guess that's to be expected from most dev's.
