Ich würde das gar nicht einmal so ins Lächerliche ziehen liebe Recording.de-Community. Acustica hat halt was völlig neues am Start und eine eigene Engine (kein Algo). Insofern ist es schon auch so, dass sie nun einen Durchbruch erzielt haben. Sie klingen sicherlich anders und vielleicht auch besser als UAD, fabfilter, Slate oder Brainworx... aber besser als richtig gute Analog-Hardware sicherlich nicht. Das kann auch gar nicht sein, denn wenn ein Signal durch einen Überträger fließt, passiert etwas Anderes als "nur" Einsen und Nullen
Aber ich würde sagen, dass Acustica am ehesten an einem analogen guten Klang hängt als alle Anderen dort draußen. Sie machen gute Preise und man sollte deren Zeug zumindest mal ausprobiert haben.
Diese Kommentare sind nicht nur ein "rumgehype" - sondern eben auch das, was dieses Pink-Plugin an Emotionen erzeugt, wenn es zum Einsatz kommt. Insofern - ich werde es heute herunterladen und testen...
"I have to say this in just 10 minutes of playing - yes this is the most responsive and best sounding channel strip from Acustica BY FAR - EVER"
"compressor works like a charm! instant buy! "
"PINK is clearly better than the UA version."
"This thing sounds extremly good. Compression behavior reached the next level (next next level) The equalizer is fantastic as expected. Congratulation Acustica."
"This to me is the closest analogue sound in the box I've ever heard and I've been using Nebula for 8 years now and nothing has come close to this puppy. So is the now possible to achieve with all emulations? I was so close to going all hardware again because plug ins just don't give me that power & control I desire. This is beyond a game changer."
"I agree with the people saying that this is an ITB breakthrough. I use Nebula for some preamp stuff and some EQ stuff. And I sometimes use NAVY. But PINK is beyond the usual Nebula/Aqua sound. They finally got the compression happening and it's just a whole 'nother world. The general sound of this plug-in is great and I've just barely starting investigating the EQ part of it. The preamps also some more interesting and versatile than some of their previous plug-ins. Some people are saying this might be too "grabby" for vocals but on the soft knee setting I very quickly got some great results. Also, I can see this being a plug-in where you can get a sound very quickly. That's been happening so far. Bring on the paid version!"
"I am pointing this to everyone feeling weird about Acqua plugins. Remember weird spikes when you instantiate? Weird GUI behavior? Slow GUI response and useless metering? Weird compression? Well this is gone with this plugin. This plugin actually behave like it should, it does not react in strange way. It is super responsive and people which usually complained about above mentioned things (like i did) - should at least try to demo this"
"We FINALLY have a plugin channel strip that sounds and works exactly like hardware. Do not flame me, I know my gear, I am a multi-Platinum Pro with great ears. Test it for yourself, all you will need is 30 seconds to see the future has been altered."
"Finally you guys have absolutely nailed the compression! I can't wait until you go back and fix Murano which just has never been right to me! This compression is perfect!! I own an API strip and feel this captures some of that character beautifully, It still not performing perfectly but as good as I can hope from such a quality plugin on my old macbook! once each section is engaged it is fluid as any other plugin! Keep up the great improvements!"
"Pink is stunning, and easy to use like hardware. Core 8 has finally brought analogue compression sound and functionality into the DAW world.... I've waited a long time for this. This is a historic day, Digital audio will never be the same."
"I'm waiting for others to chime in because my ears tell me it is as good as any hardware API I've ever used, but my brain cannot accept that a plugin is as good as hardware."
"om my lord, this is absolutely crazy, best compressor i have heard ever on drum bus , my slate drums sounds totally alive now"
"I didn´t want to comment anything until I get some sleep. What´s a suprise! I am impressed maybe even more then yesterday, when I heard something really magical. This comp is obviously breaking release, it´s a game changer! only I can say is, THANKS AA for this tiptop release! I wouldn´t believe that core 8 makes such a big step ahead!"
"I dont' know what to say. This is The Best Channel Strip I have Every used. I'm friggin Floored. The three flavors of pres are out of This World.. EQ Second to None. and The Compressor.......... I'm in Dream Land.. I tried three totally different Artists vocals, on different setups, mics etc. Dialing what I want to hear along with a little parallel comp added is a snap. Easy Quick decisions. "Like Hardware might I add. "
