Hey man, nice video! I'm assuming this is a PIE Comp Emulation. By the way what frec. analyser are you using? Thanks!
Thanks a lot! Yes, it is a PWM Compressor, like the PIE. The analyser is the integrated visualisation of Samplitude Pro -The DAW I'm using for videoproduction.

For these tracks only in terms of sound, in isolation in this way with these exact settings, I liked: - Rev E for drums (warmer, rounder, punchy but not too much) - Rev A for bass (midrange presence, more attitude, nice pluck) - AE for vocals (clear, smooth, nice tone, sibilance pleasant) - AE for guitar (if it should be in front of mix) or Rev E (if guitar should be more in the back of mix).
Thank you very much for your detailed comment! I really appreciate it.
Thanks for the great demo!
You're welcome!
Good job man! I believe the valve button makes this pluging special. Its a cool one. i really dont like the previous model.
Thanks a lot!
awe my bro <3
Solid video. So far, Bettermaker is a standout on PA, as far as consistent quality. And, as always, nice to see demos that don't start and end with "... and we'll use this drum loop..." like everywhere else on YT. 😏
Thanks a lot for your comment! I really appreciate that. I'm glad you liked the video!
This beat slaps
Nonetheless I love and appreciate every plugin from BM, this one definitely deserves a comparison with BM EQ232D. Clear and useful video, thank you.
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you liked it.
Might join the alliance again.
Nice video.
Thanks!
Nice. What are the drums and rhythm?
Thanks! Drumset: IK Multimedia - Sampletank 4 ‚Acoustic Pop Kit‘ / Rhythm pattern is ‚Soul 2‘ (Verse1 + VerseFill2) found under Groove Players in Sampletank.
@@ColorfulTonesStudio Ooh! I've got that. Will check now! Cheers!
@@MPHORROCKS Great! I'm glad I could help. Cheers! 🍻🙃
General consensus is that Kiive Audio's XTComp is, if not the best, very near the top of Distressor software emulations. It would have been nice to see it included.
Yes I was hoping that the. Kiive one would have been included
Many thanks for your comments! I have already made a comparison with Kiive's XTressor: ua-cam.com/video/ACzZLrJqZPI/v-deo.html There will definitely be another one with the XTComp soon. Addition: I have just realized that I accidentally wrote XT-Stress instead of FG-Stress in the video title. This of course led to confusion, sorry for that!
@@ColorfulTonesStudio aah thanks I missed that video. Will check it out now. Thanks and keep up the good work 👍
@privca9037 Thank you!
If I had to pick between the EV and the EV2 I’m going EV2 all the way. Real question is EV2 or G-series? 🤔
I see it just the same way! When it comes to the E-Series, I would always go for the EV2. But I've always really liked the sound of the G-Series. Maybe the “GV2” will come soon😁
Thanks <3
You're welcome!
@@ColorfulTonesStudio I bought this after watching your video <3
I'm glad that my video left a positive impression! I always try to remain as neutral as possible in the videos so that everyone can form their own opinion. Although I think Relab plug-ins are always a good investment :-)
AMAZING COMPARISON VIDEO! You killed it bro. Thanx so much for this.💯🔥🔥🔥. Got my like & Subscription.
Thanks a lot for your motivating words! I really appreciate that and I'm glad you like the video so much. Have a great day!
Can it be used on vocals!?
@@derrickmusisi6089 sure, it works great for vocals!
You can clearly hear even with phone 📱 speakers G-series distinctive push on the high mids. EV2 and E-series sounds the best. EV2 would be my first choice. 👍🏻🙂 Thanks for the video. 🙏🏻
Many thanks for your comment! I'm glad you like the video.
The Empirical Labs version sounded best on all the examples, in my opinion.
The SSL EV2 does it for me! What meter are you using in this video?
Thanks for your comment! This is the integrated visualisation of Samplitude Pro -The DAW I'm using for videoproduction. I love this metering, it's very versatile.
I really like your demos
Thanks a lot, I'm really glad you like my videos!
Can you compare with Logic Multimeter ? Thx
should do this again and include the nebula library Tim P SSL bus. it would win.
Hello and many thanks for the hint! I will make a new SSL Bus Comp Comparison soon and try to include the mentioned nebula library.
I love it the Kiive Xtressor. Great video comparison, thanks!
You're welcome! I'm glad you like the video.
Hi, I sent you a mail several days ago and used the blog contact form without any reponse :)
Hello, I apologize for the delay. I have just replied to your email.
Hi , worum habe ich es gekauft aber arbeitet nicht im Nativ und sieht es nich als bei dir? Danke
Hi und danke für deinen Kommentar. Leider kann ich dir da nicht wirklich helfen. Versuch mal in UA Connect den Refresh-Button zu drücken, oder die App neu zu starten. Ansonsten den Universal Audio Support anschreiben: www.uaudio.de/contact.html
Ich bin eine grosser weisser hunde scheise
Does it limit too?
I don't think so. It's been a while since I last worked with this plug-in, but if I remember correctly the compression was rather subtle. Even if it had high ratio values, I wouldn't recommend it as a limiter. I would rather recommend an LA2A emulation, of which there are many good ones (e.g. from Waves or Universal Audio). The LA2A offers very musical compression, which in my opinion comes closest to SoulSquash.
Personally, I think Rev E is suitable for drum.
"Secret" Weapon ; ) .it sounds so full and rich. Amazing plugin indeed
Waves I think I like better
Holaa! Que version de virtual mix rack es??? Muy buen video 👌🏻
Muchas gracias! Debería ser la versión actual del VMR. Grabé el vídeo hace unos dos meses. Thanks a lot! It should be the latest version of VMR. I recorded the video about two months ago.
How can I connect mursk Onton
A lot of Reverbs seem to have small sweet spots where the sound is how I like it - without the sometimes 'metallic' sounding tones etc. This one sounds nice whatever you do and wherever you move the sliders and other controls. That was really noticeable. Nice move doing that 10 second dry countdown!! That really makes a big difference in the listening experience!!
Hello and thank you very much for your comment! I completely agree with you, this Reverb has convinced me all across the board. It was fun to tweak the sound -I'm glad you liked my settings!
I very much like this style of video. Thank you
Thanks a lot! I'm glad you like the format.
That clean tone guitar was one of the best clean tones I've ever heard! What were you using for the original sound?
Thanks for your comment! I used Session Guitarist - Electric Sunburst from Native Instruments. www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/guitar/session-guitarist-electric-sunburst-deluxe/
My go-to mastering eq at the moment. I swap with the 200 or knif soma is really nice to.
Excellent plugin
Can You Track Vocals Real Time With This Like Studiorack ?
FUCK WAVES just get soothe. Way better company.
Lindell isn't quite on par with NEOLD for me, where it's an automatic buy whenever something drops, but despite that, I demoed this thing and ended up grabbing it almost immediately. 💯 (A suggestion/request: This video is largely an overview+walkthrough with an A/B demo throughout; the talking distracts from the nuances of how it's affecting the tracks. These type videos are helpful to some people, but maybe in these cases, you could add a second, strictly A/B demo video, or even just remove the voice-over track from the walkthrough.)
Many thanks for your comment and the tip! I'm always happy to receive feedback like this. :-) That's a great idea and I'll see how I can realize it. I will try to remove the voiceover from this video and recut it a bit. If that works, I'll upload it. Thanks again!
Neold stuff is great, but I like the additional functionality like m/s and multi band. Neold doesn't even give you an output trim they stick to the original hardware design a little too much in that regard
@@danceswith7wolves Good point. I think advanced functions for some Neold plug-ins would be a great thing.
@ColorfulTonesStudio I take it back, I love Neold the way it is. The LA2A has a gain input and a peak reduction. That's the way you drive it 🚗💨 they did add age and drive controls which was a nice touch
@@ColorfulTonesStudio . . . Yes . . . I just watched your version with no talking . . . And I enjoy Both. ! . . . Yet the version without talking , allows my ears to Stay In Tune with the Music and the Processing . . . ! . . . A potential compromise would be . . . Briefly Run through the GUI layout and Controls . . . ! . . . Then be silent through the sound examples . . . ! . . . :-) (-;
They all sound good, but the IK multimedia doesn’t sound like it’s doing as much compression as the other ones even at the same setting.
Solid video. 🙏 Being a fan of the AMEK EQs and Compressor, I grabbed this when it dropped, and was immediately disappointented. Straight away, it started spiking like a mf'er in both Studio One and Reaper, from about 18%-35% CPU usage, even peaking at up to 45%. This obviously makes it utterly useless as a channel strip, besides being unacceptably optimized. And the only thing that I got from PA support (technically, NI fielded it,) was questions about my rig, after I'd made it clear my machine wasn't choking, not with an i7/~4.2gHz/32GB RAM. A few forum searches found a lot of people having this same issue. Again, disappointing, as I dig the AMEK sound.
Many thanks for your comments! I really appreciate that and I'm glad you like my videos. The problem you describe sounds very frustrating. I'm also a fan of the two AMEK EQs, but admittedly I've hardly used the Channel Strip so far. I'm glad that you've drawn attention to the problem. I'll keep an eye on this with my computer too. Thanks again and have a nice day! Michael
Solid demo-I appreciate that not every audio source you applied it to was a drum break/beat/loop. 💯 No One: YT Plugin Reviewer: "We'll just try out this plugin on a drumbeat I have here..."
I wish everyone would make videos like this without talking
Hello and thanks a lot! I'm glad that you like the format.
Waves sounds a lot brighter
Nice saturated and nice breathing
Thanks for the review. What is the analyzer plugin on the right?
You’re welcome. This is the integrated visualisation of Samplitude Pro -The DAW I'm using for videoproduction.
My current fav EQ for acoustic music
Black Rooster
Actually, this compressor is real and NO, it is not inspired by the 160VU. This plugin is an exact emulation of the DBX 118 dynamic range enhancer, in fact that is its real name. I have one right in front of me in my studio. It's from 1972 and sounds amazing. This plugin sounds very similar but it still lacks a certain aggression, it is still super interesting that they have made this DBX 118 plugin, it is becoming more and more popular. not many people know him.
Hello and thank you very much for your informative comment! I was obviously so biased by all the 160 emulations that I didn't even think it could be a different model. Thanks again, that was really helpful!
