Brainworx bx_console AMEK 200 - Walkthrough | Plugin Alliance

[@PluginAllianceTV]

To demo the bx_console AMEK 200 for 30 days, start a MEGA Bundle trial here: www.pa-megastore.com/mega?

[@brianlespoir6287]

Now make a midi controller that looks exactly the same and where done. Seriously, some kind of fancy midi controller like softube did would be great. Put Native Instruments to work and I'm not kidding.

[@BlackGhostAudio]

This is a cool idea. If you could use something like this to control every bx_console plugin, it would deliver a ton of value.

Wow - I'm really loving this. Really is clean and precise!

[@renebrossard]

Your detail and audio examples are spot on. Hats off to you. Great explanation.

[@critical-thought]

Thank you Charles for another excellent introduction to yet another amazing plugin from PA. I look forward to putting the console through it paces.

[@saxmanash]

I'm actually excited about this one. I love the mastering compressor and Amek EQ's. what a treat!

Welcome to Season 10 of Console Emulation Channel Strips by Plugin Alliance.

[@HoldMyBeerFam]

Looking forward to season 69

[@Todzuum]

I’m all for it.

[@murraywebster1228]

This and my MPMidi are going to be big friends!

[@waynebo248]

This is why I have the MEGA Bundle!! 😊 Now I don't even have to lie to myself and say I'm not buying any more plugins. Let the gearlust continue... 😂 I have a track to mix this weekend. Guess what new plug-in I'm trying out? 😁

[@leblebist]

Best review and tutorial of the year, in my opinion. Thank you.

[@PluginAllianceTV]

Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers for the great feedback!

[@douggroulx1525]

Amazing!! What a great surprise!!I can totally see this being my go too for sure. Thanks again Brainwork’s, your always innovative and creative.

[@gearforest9746]

Yaye! Perfect timing! Will use it on my current mix of two just recorded tracks. I love the amek 9969 and I am super curious to check this one! Loving my mega bundle! Thx PA!

[@PluginAllianceTV]

That's great to hear. Thanks and enjoy your sessions!

[@marcosilvestreb]

Great plugin! Just tried the demo, the only thing that im worry about is the cpu usage, is way too heavy for having an instance of the plugin on every channel 😢

[@PluginAllianceTV]

Thanks for sharing!

[@Lostbot]

I tried it today and I'm still surprised at how much CPU it consumes, it's my main factor whether to use a plugin or not

[@daynidnb3251]

Love all the Amek stuff. Def check this out

[@Davidvs01]

Woow!! Realmente está increíble!! Lo acabo de comprar!! Y WoW el sonido de mis instrumentos y la mezcla! Cambiaron por completo!!☺️☺️☺️

[@PluginAllianceTV]

We're glad to hear it's working so well for you. Thanks for the awesome feedback and enjoy your sessions!

[@lewisknudsen1]

Thanks so much, I really enjoyed this. Early in the video you mentioned setting it as a default audio track preset...do you know if this is possible in Cubase? (11 pro)

[@Joelfrancis]

Great… this will be my new console all across my tracks

[@JoshuaDalviken]

Trialling it at the moment. Incredibly transparent, versatile and hi-fi, however CPU usage seems too heavy to use multiple instances of it across a project (compared with your SSL console emulations, for example).

[@PluginAllianceTV]

Thanks for letting us know!

[@darkcharmrecords]

Yes! Well done guys. Instant buy. This is gonna be too good across the mix. Thank you

[@jamb700]

I used this last night on my master channel. First preset. Hard Knee. I was amazed. I am impressed, not that it matters. The headroom....How?

[@PremJHans]

Does this work with Reaper daw? I'm using amek 9099 with reaper and vst3 amek 9099 sidechain doesn't work so always I have to use VST Amek 9099 when I prefer VST3. Downloaded bx_Console Amek 200 and when I m checking it in Reaper daw for compressor side chain feature Reaper Daw crashes. I love Amek 9099 and will request Plugin Alliance and Brainworx to test their plugin in REAPER DAW as well. I was about to buy Bx Console Amek 200 but this crash thing is holding me back. I'm using Reaper daw 7.17 version.

[@WayneDawkinsThePartyMan]

The EQ module alone is worth it. Just the ability alone to turn on and off different frequency ranges per module.

[@OverdriveMusic]

Legendary video

[@Audiojunkk]

Love using the hardware on mixanalog. The plug-in sounds great and the thd actually does something. It’s so subtle on the hardware it’s almost pointless. I wish it got a bit more edgy would be a perfect hw unit if that was the case

[@IAMCORNHOLIOINEEDTP]

Come on Brainworx, you can do better. 10x more CPU usage than brainworx Console SSL E, G, Console N 5x more CPU usage than brainworx Focusrite, SSL J, AMEK 9099, Lindell 80 3x more CPU usage than Lindell 50 2.5x more CPU usage than Lindell 69 2x more CPU usage than Lindell Channel X

[@stallmak8]

Wow fantastic, so I guess this means I'm not done buying plugins.

[@projessi_]

Should we expect an update with better CPU usage ???

[@yungbevvo]

I love my Amek 9099 😌… but I’ll check this out

[@PluginAllianceTV]

That's great to hear. Let us know how it goes!

[@yungbevvo]

@@PluginAllianceTV we will see! I will say it’s hard to top the Amek 9099.

[@VULUFS]

Sounds good

[@HoldMyBeerFam]

This is a little off topic but, with TMT technology does switching channels result in a random algorithm or if i find two channels stereo that I like and thinks sound good, will they always sound the same or will it be random the next time I try and use those same channels in a different instance of the plugin or new session project in my daw? Simply put are the TMT channels the same throughout plugins or are they random variations on the sound for basically that one particular instance of the plugin

[@brianwalton2602]

Not random, channels are always the same. Just like if you worked on a console channel 5, 6 sounds the same each time, not some variation of circuitry that changes each time. My question is the THD just the same saturation they put on all their plugins instead of being unique to each strip type, seems a major shortcoming on these strips in the PA stable even though they are the best on the market, which improvement could be made .

[@HoldMyBeerFam]

@@brianwalton2602 I agree I would like to know that as well. Thats kinda why i asked this because i was curious

[@PluginAllianceTV]

@@brianwalton2602 The THD algorithm used in each analog-modeled plugin is unique, based on the hardware components that have been modeled. The level of detail and precision that goes into our modeling process is something that makes us stand out from many other plugin companies.

[@MaartenFranken]

30minsof my life and not a single question answered... Pretty much everything you told is what I can see just by looking at the interface, while what I cant see could have been summed up in a few minutes. But the things I need to know to convince me this plugin can replace the 9099, like how this plugin is compensating for the missing functions, like seperate knobs for attack and release, the lack of notch filters, or the missing glow and sheen, is still not explained. Can you do another video explaining how to achieve uneven attack/release settings, as well as how to mimmick glow, sheen and notch filters?

[@thekeefer690]

Nice!

[@nkosinathindala6862]

Wow 👏👏😮👏

[@hisroyalsucculence]

This looks great! Although I really wish V Gain was removed from all of your plugins 😬

[@PluginAllianceTV]

You can turn it off if you'd prefer not to use it. An even more efficient solution is to save a new default plugin preset with V Gain disabled. Every time you load the bx_console AMEK 200 onto a track, V Gain will be deactivated.

[@hisroyalsucculence]

Yeah, I just wish the default was that it was off, but certainly I'll continue saving it in the "off" setting as default. I just don't enjoy getting the end of a project and wondering where all the noise is coming from 😂@@PluginAllianceTV

[@PluginAllianceTV]

@@hisroyalsucculence The good news is that there's a "V Gain ALL" knob that allows you to adjust the V Gain in every instance of the plugin at once! Even if you find yourself in that situation, it's an easy fix!

[@HoldMyBeerFam]

How do you do that? Is it simply the Vgain all up top its that easy?@@PluginAllianceTV

[@PluginAllianceTV]

@@HoldMyBeerFam Yes, that's it!

[@bubyoz]

its a beast of a plugin, but eating the cpu like hell

[@projessi_]

As much as I'd love this plugin, it has a crazy CPU usage .. thats a downside for me

[@maxmileski1248]

With more and more compositional production tools available, it is stunning to me how redundant …banal … derivative ‘contemporary’ electronic music sounds to me; not another programmed ratchet/insect hihat! Sorry, a critique that is NOT on the product here but rather the edm groove based sample material used towards the front of this video. I wish there to be a collective aesthetic turn elsewhere. Not only does the entire genre of ‘mass appeal’ music ‘sound’ vacuously un-original but I’m so inundated by it, it is starting to invoke a visceral irritation. I can’t even focus on the product they are promoting at this point.

[@guthhalf5484]

Please never use that song to demo plugins ever again....
