Thank you! It really means a lot. I have been trying to make it as honest a comparison as possible (without talking,) it might not be perfect but it was also my first video and you just reminded me that I should be doing more of this! So thanks twice :)

@@gottafunkyfize This really good comparison! Appreciate that it mean a lot to you and yeah, you help me a lot to pick one. I think people really don’t know what audience want.Sometimes they just speak too much and don’t realize no one wanna know them. ( Sorry to be meant but it’s a true. ) the audience wanna get straight to what they seeking for. And finally! Guess what? KZbinr Video maker who’s not talking any more in the Video. Get a good comment ( and I also get the good details from you too, appreciate! ) and talking in a comment with me and make me want to know and support your channel more! Sorry for being talkative guy, Haha

What does the oversampling do?

Agree and disagree... Yes these are just tools that won't be of any use unless you have great music and performances to start with. However they are tools to add to your colour palette which will make a big difference in the end sound and character depending on how you decide to use them. Also we're talking plugins emulations here, not real hardware, in case one was thinking of picking one of these options depending on taste and budget

@@gottafunkyfize they dont add anything that is audible dude. If you crank all the knob sure. But you dont emulate a preamp with a plugins its snake oil. Even the real hardware neve is pure snake oil. Build on ensorsment by legendery musician and. Do you know that even in blind test engeneer couldnt even fucking tell between a mxl micro and a 4000$ u67 by neumman... lol Its like these converter. Any converter that does 96khz... will reproduce without coloring the source. People have test this 4000$ rme vs cheap scarlet one... without a blind test everypne choose the RME... in blind test not so much. Its all subjective. Modern equipement offer transparacy...and clear tone. And the human hears cant see the differebce in most case. What makes the biggest difference is the source... the instrument. The compression and effect. And the room. This where most of the sound come from. In 30 years of doing this iv find that what people call now auiofool....has invade the recorsing industry. All that tube shit....vintage ewuipement... Etc etc... all snake oil. I started recorsing on a studder 24 track years ago...with a all vintage analogue studio. I wouldnt change my current logic x with digital interface for it. 70dba of headroom with hiss and shit... And people make plugins to put back the hiss and shit in our ultra clear recording... the irony. My nugget.

agree to most of it.. but look at the plugins as a color palette.. they can be used to color the sound to your liking.. you can achieve whats in your head :-).. that was way harder in the analog days! (been recording since 1984), All i can say is: when I apply the VPRE-73 (Black Rooster) or the Lindell Series 80 to my drum tracks they sound BETTER that without them.. whether they make it sound like a neve well... I could not care less.. as long as it sounds good! And they do.. btw: the Arturia rocks too.

Distortion is snake oil?

it would've never been closer since the slate digital is modeled after an 80 series and the plugin alliance one from vxs or V series totally different beast the 80's has more vintage tone but can get muddy quickly that why i use waves xls nevo or bx console when i want that more updated neve sound the xls nevo is from 5112 and the plugin alliance one VXS

compared to what?

u should not be making music

😂

Yes it does

You're right, it does. Which does make it the least accessible of the lot

@@gottafunkyfizeThanks, Just so everyone is aware. That means you either need a UAD interface that has a DSP processor, or you need to purchase an external, USB connected DSP processor from UAD in order to use the UAD VST. You can't just purchase the UAD VST and use it. Same goes for all the UAD VSTs, they all require an external DSP processor. You CAN just purchase and use the other ones as a straight VST.

Not anymore. :)

Chuck Juice. With a name like that we'd expect nothing less than the JUICE! Real Talk.

precisely!

You're absolutely right. No one listens to a song on the radio and thinks to themselves "Ya know... it sounds like they recorded that on a Trident console..."

Yes, there are better of worse plugins. As there's better or worse programming, understanding of circuitry emulation, filter programming etc.

salute for this comment bro...i was stressin whether I needed the UAD version since I'm on the Waves version and for some reason I think the UAD is better...but thank you, you freed me from my overthinking! lol

it's probably the closest you can get to the actual thing, although two real 1073 compared won't sound the same anyways... I love the way they break up when pushed hard and UAD really seem to capture that

I would say that UAD is the closest most authentic to the real preamp. but even in real life those Pre amps sound slightly different from one another. For sure I wasn't able to get any of the other plugins to break up and saturate like the UAD (or real transistor)

There are some great plugs from Waves! Also rediscovered RCompressor recently and it's just great!

80% of the modern(digital era) songs you love was mixed with 80% waves plugins

Electrocyde it’s still the only one meticulously tested and certified by Neve and the closest in behaviour and texture. Not personally sure about Slate… you could argue it’s a tool with its own character and has its uses but personally, I never found it very useful as it doesn’t really sound like the way it looks (like a neve preamp). To me these plugins don’t make much sense if used subtly, I’d be after the tone and breakup of what their trying to emulate. Slate does better plugins for other jobs

Amen

EXCELLENT analogy bro!!!!!

Thank you!

Thank you, just realised I'd replied from the other account lol

Thank you, Yes they're all great. They all have a different character specially when pushed hard. I like the texture of the UAD distortion the most, Love that Slate is modular, easy and versatile, and the waves is great for mid side and has a lower hit on the cpu.

@@gottafunkyfize I agree with all you said - I like the UAD best, but the modular aspect of the Slate is nice. I didn't really like the Waves very much, but for lower cpu usage, it seems ok.

You will pay more over time with those stupid subscriptions. I’ve own my Neve Plugin for 10 years and trust me you paid more for yours.
