    Nomad Factory Bus Driver Free

    [​IMG]

    Nomad Factory has announced the release of a very special product, Bus Driver, that will be available ‘FREE’ of charge on the DontCrack store.

    For a limited time, we will let everyone have a voucher, covering the retail price to be able to have it for FREE! Keep an eye on your e-mails for details. Bus Driver is available for FREE on the DontCrack store HERE.

    Please visit the BUS DRIVER Product Page for details of this excellent Optical Compressor, follow the purchase link and use the following Voucher Code to recieve a 100% discount on BUS DRIVER.

    VOUCHER CODE :
    freebusdriver

    We have also decided to lower the prices on all Nomad Factory products to allow everyone to have a chance to pick up one or several of Bernie’s great products in order to appreciate his work. It will have the added benefit of helping his family with the unpaid hospital bills and other expenses that have accrued during his illness since the ‘fund-raiser’. Another positive aspect will be the help it will give to the continuation of the Nomad Factory company that we are determined to keep running, to honour the life and commitment he had for producing high quality plug-ins for the audio community.

    Thanks for the heads up. It looks nice. I'll give it a try, but...

    ...Is it just me who thinks most Nomad Factory's plugins sound really harsh and generic?

    I mean, their GUIs are mostly very nice (if you dig skeuomorphism), but they don't sound right, in my opinion...

    I think the same about Melda's stuff.

    That's a big problem regarding plugins, by the way. GUIs can be very deceiving. Great looking GUIs are often used as some sort of makeup for not so good algorithms.

    It's a 1176 compressor. If you own a different emulation (Wave, NI etc) you can make a comparison and decide what is the best for you.

    Never used them, but they also make Plug & Mix I believe, and yeah, they definitely wouldn't be my first choice for... say... anything, really :rofl:

    I used a lot of P&M stuff when I was starting out because the interfaces revolving around one or a few big knobs were great for just getting shit done. But once you get used to things like Soundtoys, PSP, Cytomic, etc... you realize how "cheap" some other plugins sound :dunno:

    Or maybe it's confirmation bias. Who knows

    It says it's an optical compressor on the product page. 1176's are FET.

    Anyway, judging by what's written on the GUI (Model 1176 LA2), I guess it's some sort of blend between an 1176 and an LA2A.

    I'll give it a try later.

    I hear you, I used to use the BT Stereo Imager and was never really convinced.. I really like their ' Analog Chorus CH -2S ' though, very sweet sound, great for background vocal fx:cool:

    Yes, mix of 1176 and LA2A, because they can't emulate something one very good, that's why they made slow optical and fast FET and they get "something between")) Next probably will be "VCA Vari-Mu" and "Solid State Tube" with transarent tubes and cleanest aliasing :D
