Comparing 2 Pultec EQP-1A plugins - one from Universal Audio included in the UAD Spark subscription, and the new SD-PE1 plugin from Slate Digital included in the All Access Pass.
Pultecs are one of the most legendary EQs about. They're also incredibly versatile but where I think they really shine is on the mix bus! I've been using the UAD EQP-1A Pultec plugin for over a year and it sounds great! However, how does it compare to the new Slate Digital SD-PE1 plugin?
In this video we listen to both plugins on the mix bus of 2 different mixes - a pop/punk mix, and a softer pop/rock ballad.
Let me know what you think - does one of the plugins sound better than the other?

I love comparison videos like this. So glad to finally have a Pultec from Slate! And the mix sounds killer!

Thanks dude. And I agree. Upto now the UAD Pultec has been the best plugin option by far IMO, but now it’s equally matched with the Slate EQ. The low end from the Slate version is astoundingly good!

Thanks for the video. I have the Slate All-Access deal, and didn't realize what this new plugin even was. Just adding your settings and tweaking slightly for my project, it's like magic. This is the exact tiny push over the top that I didn't even know I needed.

Great video. I’ve been using the SSL Violet EQ, which is kind of a Pultec I dare to say. It sounds brilliant on most songs, but lately I’ve been using the Pultec on songs where I want a more rough mix. It adds a lot of depth to the low and high end without any harshness whatsoever.

Thanks man! I was so close to getting a hardware SSL Fusion with the violet but saw too many QC issues. I do quite like the plugins though!

@@adamfiascoVEVO I love all the Fusion plugins and use them all in the Mix Bus. They give a nice polish to the mix. The only plugin, in my opinion, that can be problematic is definitely the Violet EQ. Sounds great on most mixes, but in other cases it can ruin a mix, that’s why I sometimes replace it with the Pultec. Cheers.

I have both. I agree the warm sound of Slate felt very professional. I believe the Air EQ at 12-14khz 2-3db after slate would soubd great Then do NOT forget about Audio Acousticq’s stuff. I think they ROCK and so close to the hardware ”sheen”

I haven’t actually used any of the Melda tools but have heard they have some great plugins, including a bunch for free. What’s your thoughts on them?

so the Apogee pultec has been considered the Holy Grail of emulations so it would be interesting to hear a comparison

That's just marketing. It changed my perception for good when I learnt - thankfully in a young age - to not care if a plug-in emulation sounds close to the original and just use whatever works in my mix at the time.

the Apogee one is the best emulation there is.

Yet there's other videos that say, and one that even shows UAD nailed the hardware, so not sure how much better it gets if that's the case.

The Apogee one is even better.

The Slate Pultec sounds wooly. It should sound much better than an OLD plugin, but it actually sounds way worse. The UAD one is not that exciting either compared to Apogee and Noise Ash.
