La Creme - Overview and Demo

[@SpaceDisease]

i gotta say, i really appreciate how you'll show settings that actually make the sound worse, instead of only showing the sound get hyped and improved. no plugin is good at everything, and this is helpful in figuring out where a plugin shines, and where it would be inappropriate.

Tone Empire is underrated

[@musiclover-r9m]

@@niklassilen4313 damn I haven't really experienced this with them - I've been a big supporter of Hornet too, but I have experienced this quite a few times with the - not so much tone empire. Which plugs gave you probs?

[@kalidesu]

@@niklassilen4313 I agree this is nowhere near the quality of U-he or DMG. He needs to fix the older plugins than pumping out the same classic compressor copy.

[@gdayal9]

Although I cannot convince anyone either way :) and all opinions are welcome.. I assure you these are not the same compressors as you can very well hear this is a clean modern Vari mu sound. As far as glitches, I think we have evened out mostly all things with our initial Neural releases, except CPU , but now you see this vastly improve in this one :) hence this improvement is coming to all our previous Neural plugins as soon soon as next week. If you really want to criticize , then also listen to what I have to say and actually check out the updates coming next week. Other than that , there are no glitches, our plugins are stable, deliver quality and we take risks with new technology ! that we will always do . Thanks again for checking our plugins and commenting. I welcome it . Cheers

[@gdayal9]

undermarketed maybe ? :) We will change that soon and thank you for the compliment !

[@levondarratt787]

they are not underrated... All major producers, and general users know them. You might be from 2010...lol

[@RayTheProducer]

Very nice. Including an EQ is smart, because it makes it more of a channel strip; I already have the Mu, but this is still attractive.

[@Taylor370z]

No Q settings and no SC filter for the compressor. How come?

[@gdayal9]

since the original unit does not have one, we kept true to it. The Eq section is supplementary for broad boost , cuts, not meant to be a surgical eq.. that one is coming ;)

[@gdayal9]

@@niklassilen4313 I was able to source the original which does not have the filter. I see that the newer ones do. Yup we got the slowest and fastest settings, we did skip the intermediate ones for now. I think we got the musical space of the compressor pretty much , I hope .. lol :)

[@Barncore]

The audio demos sound great, but i really wish you wouldn't use such processed drum loops for the demos. I wanna hear how it deals with stuff that NEEDS to be processed. It does sound really cool though, kudos. Def gonna demo it P.s. the recovery on "2" sounds awesome for that 1st drum groove 🤤

[@gdayal9]

Thank you ! next up is the PWM classic ....

[@gdayal9]

ps: send me some sounds you would like tested.. In this case I actually made my own loops with my mpc... , but lets try something you would like, and maybe I can use that in the next plugin demo :)

[@Barncore]

@@gdayal9 Any uncompressed drums is fine. And ideally not drenched in saturation Maybe you could grab some sorta royalty-free jazz drums loop, cos usually they're not super compressed

[@antoniotarizzo4563]

really agree with this feedback as well, UAD usually use good audio examples

[@antoniotarizzo4563]

or just grab a professional/finished mix project, and replace the mixbus comp that was chosen (as an example) with the new plugin you’re showing off. Love the plug-in anyways!

[@punchipum]

Hi! You have to improve the audio silence that occurs in your plugins when you bypass or change parameters. The way they work now, they are not usable for me because they make comparisons much more complicated.

[@quamagi]

somos muy parecidos ¿tengo un clon en Francia?

[@gdayal9]

haha I wish ! I love France ! What a beautiful country !

[@quamagi]

@@gdayal9 Haha, there are a number of misunderstandings that I will detail (hahaha). I thought you were French. I am Argentinean and live in Buenos Aires. OK, anyway, it caught my attention, and it is that we are very similar in that, if there are no mistakes: P A fraternal hug from the south of the world.

[@gdayal9]

@@quamagi Thank you sir ! right back at you! (hug) I 'm flattered you thought I was French! lol

[@scottyahney8565]

Manley !!

[@matttorrence2900]

I have pretty much every other compressor plugin out there... should I get this one?

[@gdayal9]

We can never have enough compressors if you’re a compressor geek like me :)

[@sabothawk]

I know the feeling! I've around [pick a galaxy-sized number] of them myself; For what it's worth, I'd advise auditioning this one on a complex master bus, an orchestral piece, a vocal and a loud percussion track, versus your other vari-mu's, such as the 670 or the Manley, and see if this adds something new within your mixing aesthetic. It also helps to check how well the plug handles foldback aliasing, plays with any plugin hosts you have, and also stacked before or after your favorite FET or VCA comps. I've bought some things just because they make my favorite plugs sound even better! Hope that helps -- happy mixing!

[@gdayal9]

@@sabothawk great reply ! Thank you

[@sabothawk]

@@gdayal9 I'm glad you liked it, thanks! I've had the opportunity to enjoy exploring hundreds of plugins while setting up my audio mixing/mastering/restoration studio (which is getting close to completion, now!), and know how hard it can be to decide what new software to invest in!

[@RJ1J]

API 2500 or Manley Vari-Mu?

[@Rhuggins]

2500 is not a vari mu nor does it utilize tubes..

[@LuisM_Piozza]

A compressor with a ‘Recovery’ control is 99.99% of the time a ‘Vari-Mu’ type compressor...🤔😉

[@hetto_blaster]

It's not the Nu Mu instead of the vari Mu, right?

[@gdayal9]

@@hetto_blaster it’s not like you said :)

[@paulmisty8998]

Tegeler Creme?

[@gdayal9]

One more guess :) it’s American

[@paulmisty8998]

@@gdayal9 MANLEY! :D

[@kalidesu]

How many times is Gaurav Dayal going to make the same Vari-mu compressor with retro 1930's radio gear aesthetics that doesn't get close to a real Vari-mu compressor?! Color box vst for sure, a Vari-mu emulation no.

[@gdayal9]

its not the 1930s one actually it is a modern one , it is vari-mu YES... , I can't get enough of the sound.. but now other are coming like the vintage PWM :)

[@gdayal9]

download the demo and actually try it :) it does not sound like any other compressor we have released . Its a mistake to assume :)

[@dna598]

Fairchild surely

[@gdayal9]

Guess again :) hint : modern American

[@axelmaldini4218]

All very nice but what average user listening to music on a cell phone will be able to tell the subtle difference? None, I'm just saying...

[@gdayal9]

I think it makes a difference vastly as to when a creator is creating, their joy of hearing the sounds change, increases their own conviction in the material so that's most important. This is the same reason artists make a lot of details and effort in any art, its for themselves first. Listeners can hear or not, that comes secondary :) A great question btw , thanks for asking .

[@scottyahney8565]

$29 would be much better G

[@gdayal9]

I appreciate your suggestion Scott :)

[@LuisM_Piozza]

Well, it's better for free...🤐😅 (PD: I was obviously in ironic mode ON. The price/quality ratio of Tone Empire is unbeatable. IMHO, already one of my favourite brands of plugins for sure.🙌🙌)
