so i am glad i gave up my stigma.Waves are the latest manufacturers to try to package the sound of large-format mixing consoles in plug-in form.ĭownload Waves Mercury V11 Full Bundle Over 165 plugins and more than 400. they are arguably the best plugins on the market and in my opinion surpass the ones you don't need an iLok for. it is clear as night and day why they put them only on the iLok. but i have to admit once i started using iLok Only plugins.
#Waves nls vs slate vcc free#
buy a nice plug and get the free ilok as opposed to thinking i was buyin the ilok and getting a free plugin. i was very adamant to never use iLok like Jemusic but took the plunge with the RC-Tube. the RC-Tube by Slate Digital (just one of the VCC package which emulates a 1950's RCA radio desk) is a fine fine console and sells ALL the time for $49 and comes with a free iLok2 ($5 shipping to lower 48) it is the BEST way to try out the iLok2 and it's plugins.

it is a GREAT buy for low budget minded to get good analog type console sound.īut as i tell everyone. Mixbus is sweet sounding and if you can grab on sale for $39. I use the VCC mainly and sometimes stem out to use in Mixbus. Sonimus Satson (mentioned, and is only about $39)

Other console-like models perhaps worth investigating: That's also going to take a little longer than a day or three to truly find out, but trialing the NLS should be interesting. If the results produce something that are really satisfying, I'd be thrilled.
#Waves nls vs slate vcc software#
I'm a bit on the fence with software summing emulation, as I'm not sure how it would stack up to true outboard hardware summing mixers. I'm going to try the NLS out if I can tomorrow, so I'll mention any findings if the results prove worthy. There are hundreds of preset variations of each board to choose from. It models three great sound consoles including the SSL, Neve, and a EMI TG12345 Mk IV (out of Abbey Road Studios). Waves currently has the NLS Non Linear Summing plugin on sale for $99. It involves the summing as a mix plugin, so you you can channel individually, or bus multiple channels right within the plugin, and S1's busses as well. The other option(s) below would eliminate the need to stem, and work outside S1. Just a heads up that may be of interest, though the Harrison solution sounds pretty nice. The Mastering compressor and EQ is also excellent too. You have variable control over tape saturation and that sounds pretty sweet and of course that whole Harrison console sound too. The EQ's on the tracks, buses and the main stereo buss are all different. Now this really sounds quite special and has a real smooth Harrison console sound and I just love it! The best way to use it is to do almost all your mixes in Studio One and then just export a bunch of stereo stems and import those into Harrison Mixbus and just bring the final stems together there. What I am actually doing right now is using another program alltogether and that is Harrison Mixbus. I have also got the SDDR from Klenghelm and that has a really cool console feature setting too. Slate Digital are into this type of thing as are many others. But in a way I think that is a good thing because it gives you many more choices if you really want to get into that.įor me I have got the Sonimus Satson plugins and they do quite a nice job and are quite affordable. No, Studio One does not come with a console emulator standard.
