    I’ve seen posts on the “museum” about something called Nebula since there are libraries for it, what even is it and how does it work? Is it like some hardware or plugin you can make effects algorithms for or is it just presets for existing parts of Nebula? And if it is a plugin, was it even put up in the museum and when? Wondering in case it’s a crazy deep iceberg I haven’t directly observed and only know about its existence from third party extensions…

    A plugin that loads snapshots of gear. They use advanced convolution techniques to capture the gear. Many of the libraries offered by the third party dev's are incredible. It can be a pain in the ass to setup, but its worth it, at least to me it is. Yes, it was released at some point on sister site.

    You think wrong, it works, so operator error.

    Is Google closed for holidays, or you prefer misinformation?

    It's shit for nerds who don't have a gf.

    Because it is for nerds, it's kinda complicated. So nothing for people who can't even use Google properly.

    it is obviously one of these "must have"s which nobody has because nobody knows what it is.

    a quick search for a.a. ended up with a list of REQs.

    I googled it and got an answer right away because I'm the polar opposite of a nerd. They look like giant eyeballs in space, but can that really be? It turns out that they are most certainly not at all.

    "A nebula is a giant cloud of dust and gas in space. Some nebulae (more than one nebula) come from the gas and dust thrown out by the explosion of a dying star, such as a supernova. Other nebulae are regions where new stars are beginning to form".

    So, when ported to a software plugin a nebula gives one the power of an exploding star in your DAW. My guess is that gain staging is important to understand because you don't want to blow up your headphones, monitors or your fragile ears. Something like that could get really, really loud.
