When it comes to genuine sound, I guess you can generally say Acustica Audio Aqua and Nebula because they are 'the originals'. I guess the UAD should be very good too but didn't have the opportunity to measure them, even though the studio had all of them.Ĭlick to expand.are two completely different questions. These are the results : Teletronix LA-2A : Black Rooster VLA-2A/IK White 2A (against Waves, NI/Softube, Slate, Presonus, Overloud, AO) Urei 1176LN : Arturia Comp FET/Black Rooster VLA-FET (against Waves, IK, NI/Softube, Slate, Overloud, Presonus, AO, Softube) (the hardware measurements was kind of a mix of the two) SSL 4000 E Rack : bx_console SSL 4000E (against SSL Native (lol), Waves, IK, Slate, Sonimus, AO) Pultec : Black Rooster VEQ-1P (against Waves, IK, NoiseAsh, Overtone, Presonus, AO, Kuassa) Distressor : Slate FG-Stress (against Empirical Labs, SKnote) I kept the data and did measurements for every new emulations that came out since and that I could get my hands on. Keep in mind that all the hardware units of one specific model will not sound the same, and some emulations are based on different revisions of the same model.
I brought my laptop with pretty much all the emulations I could find of those (except UAD, I don't have the cards), and measured them in PluginDoctor with the hardware at the same time. I was in a school last year where we had the privilege to spend multiple days in a studio with a lot of classic gear. Preamps = probably Soundtoys Decapitator (as it includes 5 different preamp types), but recently I've been using quite a lot of Arturia 1973
Roland Tape Echo = Arturia Tape 201 (although Audiothing's is probably more accurate, it's too aggressive sounding for me)
VCA comp (in general) = Plugin Alliance Vertigo VSC-2 - got it after disappointing bx_townhouse buss comp, now I use it pretty regularly Teletronix LA-2A style of opto-comp = although I hate Waves, so far I liked their CLA-2A the most SSL channel = definitely brainworx_SSL 4000 E (not tried UAD though) What are your absolute favourites if you want to get closer to character of a specific analog gear? Here is my current "best in slot" list of plugins I have and enjoy, I'd be happy to find new tips on plugins from you:ġ176 = Softube FET compressor, best fet compressor period. massive discount of Softube plugins, it reignited my interest in hunting down best legendary gear emulations as, softube recreated a lot of the classics and many other companies as well.
