Arturia Bus Exciter-104 and Bus Peak Demo (from FX Collection 5)

Arturia have just release FX Collection 5. In this video I demo 2 of the new plugins from the collection - a Bus Exciter modelled on the Aphex Aural Exciter, and a new bespoke clipper/limiter module called Bus Peak.

About me:
My name is Anthony Chisnall. I'm a musician & songwriter.
My channel is these things:
1. A place to share my music - both songs and instrumental pieces. Much of the music I write features in...
2. Tutorial videos about music composition and production
3. An outlet for me to discuss all things musical - including technical break-downs of software and tools that I use, as well as more wide-ranging discussions of topics that interest me.
I play the guitar (electric, acoustic, and bass), and record all of my own synth-based sounds myself too, but I can't sing very well (huge understatement!), and so my wife, Pauline, who has a lovely singing voice, has come to my rescue. You'll hear her on all of my songs.
All of my music is written in Steinberg's Cubase (currently Cubase 12).
I try very hard to make my videos PRACTICAL and no-nonsense - if I don't use a feature, I'm not going to waste your time trying to sound like an expert on it! This is the stuff I use day-to-day, so I think that's also what you'd like to hear me talking about.

Extremely useful as usual. Clear and detailed.

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Glad to hear that, thanks for the feedback!

[@jaypkock]

I was actually looking at buying this collection just because i like the Arturia V Collection X so much - and now they launch a version 5 and have a intro sale for old customers? Yes pls - i really like the Arturia plugins

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Me too :)

[@francoisguillaumegiroux1186]

Very clear, thank you very much

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Glad you thought so, thanks for the feedback :)

[@CrisPearson]

Nice. Dig the track too.

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Glad you like it, thanks!

[@triplebeam23]

I really dig the exciter

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Agreed - immediately made its way onto my list of hot toys :)

[@QWLMusic]

Seems a bit underwhelming with only 2 new plugins. I know it's technically 4, but the other two have been out for a minute.

[@MayzMatthiasYzebaert]

Agreed, but the price reflects that (Only had to pay €49 for the upgrade). Also, how good are these FX?! Love it.

[@ChristianSurieux]

Thank you for this video. Just a small question : do these effects support 'Constrained delay compensation' in Cubase ? I think that very few of Arturia's vst3 instruments or effects support this Cubase feature ?

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

I just added both instances to a track, engaged CDC, and they both greyed out.

[@ChristianSurieux]

@@OneManAndHisSongs great but isn't it the default feature? On many Arturia vst3 instruments I found no Delay Information in the VST Manager.

[@poltergeist_16]

Bus Peak better than Ozone Maximizer what you think?

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

The one feature that Maximizer had that Bus Peak doesn't is the ability to loudness match the whole song. (Ironically iZotope removed this feature with v10, and when I asked them why, their reply was 'you're not supposed to use it for that purpose'.) So... these days, maybe my answer would be yes - if I didn't still use Ozone 9 for the -14LUFS level matching I might very well switch to Bus Peak.
