Wish I could like this comment 10 times! I spent 1000s of dollars on plugins before coming to the painful realization that what I needed was to learn the tools I already had and master them. Now I use a lot of stock plugins and my mixes are fine.

Hi! Bug fix coming!

Great! Emulated my carefully and anally retentively set static OTB analog mixing behemoth rig ITB to a T so I can mix in my 'virtual studio' whilst on tour. Using this amazing plugin in heavy doses to replicate some of my hardware (it does DBX reeeeally well).. It was the puzzle piece I was missing.. The FG Stress made more noise than my outboard by a mile. (everything calibrated to a T). Had to gate it. The compression characteristics of the plug are jaw dropping, but to make it do certain things with low input high output you get the hiss. Much love. [Static analog mixing chains with analog volume automation (controlled by a DAW track) at the end is the future I swear!. I'm sure this is no secret. But it means zero recall. You mix into the rig with plugins, but the outboard settings never change. I have classic outboard chains for everything, kick, snare, bass, lead vox etc, many stereo compressor busses, effects with settings that never change . Classic chains with volume automation at the end, using the computer and plugins to mix into it like holding the tiller on a sail boat catching the wind... Is anyone doing this? I always hear of the pains and trials of having to recall analog which is true if you actually have to change the knobs.. .. . It sends everybody ITB which is a shame. I fly from session to session on a whim, all through the analog rig. There are no drawbacks. Haha sorry rant over..!!

You might thing this would make every mix sound the same. Not, apparently.

It was unfortunately not. I ran the video file through insight and there was a difference of about 0.1dB of gain and the invert test showed a lot of other information added and subtracted from the file.

He was talking about the first half of the video where Slate was playing it back and switching, only to be playing back the same file. Yes, though in the second half there is a very slight volume change. They still sound near identical though.

Sam Guaiana that's what I did. I used the first part.

I already have the Fatso so I'm not sure I'll buy the UAD Distressor too but FYI it can be had for well under $100 during one of their bundle sales.

Xcarnation sorry it doesnt

This may be a bug, please contact support

Yes there is definitely a noise issue. They could not help us when we contacted support. It's a shame because I really wanted to show it to my audience. There is a huge amount of Hiss added on all my machines even checking back on different interfaces etc

filtafacta hi, the whole point is that in order to get true matched gain reduction, you cannot simply match what is happening on the GUI. Thanks for the comments!

technique!

You can currently run around 100+ instances on a modern i7 intel native processor with ZERO latency :)

🤦🏾‍♂️

Shane LaRue Josh’s Video is great but the timings were all kept on the same knob settings... Watch our video to find out why that doesn’t quite work for a proper comparison

For sure. It all sounds pretty great to me. I don't get too caught up in the officiality of tests. It sounds good so I will use it. it doesn't need to be exact to work. that being said, great job on the plugin!

It also cost more than 1 year of every plugins from Slate Digital.

Shane LaRue you are right😁 if those plugin are close or even slate is better, there is no need to make a comparison video to proof it😏

Did you listen to what he said at the beginning of the video? He made this video due to Slate users requesting it on Facebook. He even states that he loves UA... Maybe instead of buying a compression plugin, you could invest in a comprehension plugin ;)

Daniel Walker maybe you should read between the lines
