UNCLEAN MACHINE Review - Is Spectrasonics new Sonic Extension worth your money?

[@afroham]

I was not as excited when looking at their own walkthrough when it came out. but your video made me really excited about this! Great job :)

[@VultureCulture]

I'm glad I could inspire some excitement, it's really awesome!

[@broketunez]

Just noticing how hyped you were when you were playing the 🎹 keys was awesome-sauce! Definitely going to invest into this and expand my library looks super sweet.

[@VultureCulture]

Awesome dude!

[@afmajorbeats9931]

Right his expressions were priceless

[@HNMusicVideos]

Purchased all four with a 30% discount and they are worth every penny. I have a ton of VST's, but Omnisphere is my main synth. I really don't need anything else as far as synthesis goes. The Unclean Machine sounds are actually good several genres. This was probably my best purchase in a long time. I'll get a lot of use from these extensions.

[@VultureCulture]

I agree! Omnisphere is so vast and essentially the SE's make it easy to get to where you need to go quickly.

[@Drfresh1402]

Every single sound this man just played is sick. Wow.

[@VultureCulture]

Outta control!

Big thanks! Didn't see the need for it at first, but this lovely review has got my wallet burning :P

[@VultureCulture]

Hahahaha glad I could help!

[@DavidCicero]

Nice review thank you.

[@VultureCulture]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for commenting 🙏

[@Sol_Keez]

I really hope they keep that discount into place. I'd definitely be able to get all four. I have Keyscape, Trillian, and Omnisphere. When they came out with Bob Moog's Tribute library 2.0 I purchased it right away and I'm still having fun with it. With these Sonic Extensions I'll still have my favorite go to sounds from other plugins but with these I'm sure I'll rarely use anything else. Omni will be my main sound as it's starting to become now. This will drive it over the edge!

[@VultureCulture]

I'm sure they will. One thing I love about Spectrasonics is how consistent they are with pricing.

[@haro82]

Been looking for good omnisphere sounds for lofi. This might be it. Sounds great. Thanks.

[@bluehoursongs]

At first I was dubious, but this extension sounds like it would be a great tool for our dark ethereal sound. Thanks for the overview.

[@VultureCulture]

This is the dark ethereal machine! You won't be disappointed. Also I'm doing a Livestream on Undercurrent tomorrow (Wednesday) at 9 est if you want to check it out 🌑

[@derekbaker3279]

As is the case with your reviews of the other four Sonic Extension plugins, this is a fabulous review with an amazingly detailed & unfiltered (*) assessment of the usefulness & quality of this particular extension! You even answered a question I was about to type (re: using these Sonic Extension effects elsewhere in Omnisphere & outside of Omnisphere).👍👍Thank you! 😀😀 (*) For the life of me, I cannot remember the name of the philosopher who said the following...it wasn't Whitehead, but is often attributed to him...I'll paraphrase it... ' The only men who are unbiased are those who wear tombstones for hats.' i.e., your reviews are fantastic & "unfiltered", but not "unbiased". 🤓

[@VultureCulture]

That is definitely true! In a hurry to record these videos I misspoke. I am biased, I love Omnisphere, and even buying the products probably changes my opinion in subtle ways (sunk costs fallacy). What I mean to say is you're hearing what I think is true, even if I'm delusional 😆

[@derekbaker3279]

@@VultureCulture lol 😂 You certainly are not delusional! You are extremely perceptive, intelligent, knowledgeable & well-spoken. And my comment re "bias" was meant more in fun than a serious criticism. Just keep doing what you're doing, as it's enjoyable & very illuminating (even with 'dark' music 😉 ) 👍👍

[@garychase9882]

i’m sure they did it cause omnisphere is so big it’s hard to fit into the mix. with this thats no longer an issue. i’m in!

[@VultureCulture]

It's really great!

[@mark35mi]

At $49 per extension I might have been more intrigued... especially after the $499 mandatory investment. $149? Ugh. The sonic extensions are a swing and a miss for me.

[@VultureCulture]

Spectrasonics has never been the cheapest. They're about $100 a piece if you buy three or more, which is less painful if you already have Omnisphere.

[@armandocardenas5029]

But like other romplers like Nexus 3 is $249 with basic content no xps the xps are $65 with 130 presets if you make the math you get more with ominisphere plus 2 Fx and the end of the day you are the producer and sound designer.

[@humansrants1694]

Can the effects be used outside of Omnisphere?

[@VultureCulture]

They cannot currently.

[@BobMcCarroll]

@@VultureCulture That would be great if they did. It'd be a nice added bonus for the $149.00 price tag.

[@KenshoBeats]

Dang, there’s not a sound that’s not dope in this extension. Enjoying that face you make when you dig a sound, legend 💢👊🏼💢

[@VultureCulture]

Yeah it's truly insane how much value they build into these!

[@hostilesavage4299]

This is why omnisphere 2 stays at the top reigning over all other vsts... it is still a beast...

[@VultureCulture]

It is absolutely insane.

[@djGreenALERT]

My hard drives wince every time Spectrasonics beef up Omnisphere!

[@VultureCulture]

Hahaha I just had to buy a new one

[@djGreenALERT]

@@VultureCulture Ahh yes, that never ending cycle of buying a new one and thinking you'll never fill up, only to find yourself back in the same position, straight after seeing the Trade Marked Eric Persing grin!

[@yanivhe]

This is incredible I wish I have omnisphere :/

[@VultureCulture]

It's a shame there isn't a stand alone version. I see why though, considering everything runs in Omnisphere 's engine.

@@VultureCulture I been using Spectrasonics for 2 decades and they always make you jump out of the chair when previewing the presets 😁

[@VultureCulture]

The best!

[@studioblogic]

Not buying. I already bought Omnisphere three times... (Atmosphere/Omni1/Omni2). I'm tired of buying the same product over and over. This would have been a huge success if it was simply an addition to Omnisphere and provided at no cost. Just my opinion, I could be wrong. Your mileage may vary.

[@VultureCulture]

I hear you. Spectrasonics have never been the cheapest on the block. For me these purchases at $100 a pop feel pretty reasonable, I didn't begrudge Omni2 because of how much was in it, and all of the free updates we've had since.

[@SpectrasonicsVIDEO]

This bizarre comment really makes no sense and needs clarifying to set the record straight. At Spectrasonics, we’ve had very reasonable paid upgrades from the original Atmosphere (2002) to Omnisphere (20008) and from Omnisphere 1 to Omnisphere 2 (2015). NOONE had to buy them new at full price multiple times! In fact, Atmosphere (2002) had only 1,000 sounds…Omnisphere 2.8 (2021) now has 15,000 sounds! (most of which we have added for free btw). The list of new features, new FX and support added in the last 20 years is also a mile long. So saying that you’re buying the same product over and over is frankly inaccurate and extremely misleading. We have been and will happily continue to be very generous with our users. :-)

[@Rio-uv1gs]

​@@SpectrasonicsVIDEOI appreciate the free updates. Oh for hiphop/trap/lofi and rnb which sonic expansion would you recommend?

Probably Unclean Machines - maybe Seismic Shock
