What are some of your favourite digital emulations of analog gear? Share below!
Bettermaker EQ232D
True Iron, True 252, API 550 B (Waves), SSL G compressor (Waves)
AA its very good. With their latest release, I realized that they are no longer only "emulations. It's no longer about matching the hardware, but matching ideals we have.
thanks!@@bradashlock
For now, my go-to emulations are Pulsar Massive, Mu, Smasher, and Relab LX480 Essentials. Not at all saying I won't add any more to that list. This Avalon is very special, final polish just by adding it in.
Honored to have my song featured, guys ❤️🔥 Love you Joe, you knock it out of the park every time my friend.
Right back at you MiZZZ Mackenzie!!!🎉
great track, thanks so much!
GREAT TRACK!!! Joe was bragging on ya.. and rightfully so!!! thank you :)
brilliant tune
Thanks ever so much for providing such an amazing song!!
Thanks so much, guys ⚡
Thank YOU! Fantastic.
Never buy this product if you are also a mobile producer. I have a paid product, and my account has been locked because I used it in my semi, and then I used it again on a different computer when I got home. Extremely poor customer service on behalf of a company.
Wow this is awesome, Shane "Kazrog" McFee has been an online friend of mine since the late 90s! Back in the ICQ instant messenger days. Great to see his company get some props on this channel!
What's up man! 🤘
Thank you for watching!
Dang, I didn't think I was going to be able to hear it at the beginning because eq stuff never translates well over youtube... but i could hear that 32k right away. I own the hardware version and do all my mix downs through it on the board but might have to get this just for individual tracks or when I'm traveling. I make techno and house but sure do appreciate good production of any kind. Nice video guys.
Really I m hesitating selling one of my Distressor to get a real 747...would you encourage me to ? I love the plugin, but you think the real one is a step ahead ? Thx
@@MELOPSMUSIC IDK that I would do that. I worry about the 747 being out of production and eventually these things will age and require repairs etc. Its a great unit, you can feel the warmth, the air in the EQ etc, but the plugin does a good enough job replicating especially if you are going outboard saturation or warmth in other gear.
Epic! I picked it up because of this video. I'm happy to slam drum and bass into it 😊
I’ve used it on my masters, I want my next step to be on solo instruments. Any settings you’d recommend? I’m using the stereo 747 (can use it in dual mono too) Thank you
Great I always love an UNBIASED video of a product ...LOL
No bias but I definitely won’t apologize for being a BIG fan of Avalon hardware 🎉🎉 Love their stuff and love seeing ITB versions of that sound. Thanks for watching.
Glad you liked my preset, Joe! i have a couple videos with Warren, as well a phase and drum recording class on Pro Mix Academy. Great track, btw!
Nice to meet you JJ!!
killer preset!
You’re the man JJ!!
I just love any videos with Joe. He's everyone's buddy and I'm sure we all want to hang out with him (AND Warren!). Great partnership here. Marc Nelson really rounds out the "package," as well. Much love to Warren, Joe and the gang!
Thank you man. Love talking shop with peers 100%. Have a great week
I love this plugin, it immediately went into my master template. Between this and True Iron, I'm in analog emulation heaven
Just finished the video and I have to say that , as Joe said, it’s like sitting with friends, being honest but sympathetic to the music and the intentions their in, explaining all the moves and why, retracting some of them when needed, he’s a scholar and a gentleman !
More of the same please 🙏
Thank you 🎉
Excellent demo gentlemen. What a great way to get the polish. Kazrog did a wonderful job. Kudos.
thanks, again!
I love True Iron, Kclip 3 and True Dynamics... So I am sorely tempted! These Kazrog plugins make my mixes sweet and downright CRISPY! Pretty amazing stuff.
I am so excited for this! I own every Kazrog plugin. they are absolutely top notch!
Thank you so much! Enjoy!
thanks, we appreciate you!
I’m thinking about their Klip plugin but I’ve got the Waves L2 limiter - what are your thoughts on it? Thanks.
@@bradashlock so 2 very different plugins. The L2 is just a brick wall limiter. It's a great plugin and has been used by many over the years. A great choice for sure.
Klip3 is way more than just a limiter. It's also a saturation and coloring tool. So you can use it for a lot in a session. You could throw it on a sub group of like guitars or any instrument and give more life and vibe. But you can also use it as a good limiter.
Klip3 is way more versatile than the L2
@@kyronnewbury Interesting- thanks!
Awesome review Joe! You sure make the case that every studio could use one of these. Thanks for the whole process of your review here, working in process!
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for watching Doug. Have a great week 🎉
i'm mixing with it right in my small home studio sounds great
Great to hear!
🎉🎉
thanks so much!
That sounds pretty good woah. Great review Joe, there's a little sometin somethin in the sound of that plugin for sure. Big thanks to the PLAP team
Thanks so much for watching!
thanks!
Thanks for watching Joey 🎉
Really good to see them do what they do. Could learning my Monitors really came alive for that one. Worked them and heard its true potential.
🎉🎉
Kazrog plugins have consistently proven themselves to be of the highest quality. Their dedication to crafting exceptional audio tools is truly commendable. The attention to detail and the commitment to producing top-notch sound is evident in each of their plugins.
Thanks for sharing and for watching!
Agree: top notch but still quite affordable.
@@bradashlock Absolutely, I couldn't agree more! The quality is truly top-notch, and the fact that it remains affordable is definitely a winning combination. It's not easy to find products or services that strike that balance so well.
thanks for the love, we appreciate it!
Thank you for watching!
Love Avalon. Purchased the 737 in 1999 and its still used on vocals for all my tracks. The 747 was always on my radar, I’ll get this plug for now but the hardware will eventually make it into my rack. You know Avalon is a great company because they only make a small amount of gear but its all top notch.
appreciate you checking out the plug!
Thank you for watching Ernest
I've been waiting for this for years.... finally.
enjoy!
Really great video and great plugin. I already loving it after one day of using it.
I have a lot of analog emulation plugins that I never had the opportunity to use their true analogue circuits , Avalon units where highly praised in the mid ‘00 s when I started working, so I had the opportunity to use them years ago and I loved them . Those highs are beautiful, even passing the signal through an Avalon it shines
That’s a fact. Thanks for watching 🎉
🤘⚡
There are so many fantastic analog emulations, UAD's reverbs, eqs and compressors are super. Also emulations from Softube, Arturia... But now i am buying hardware for recording the way in, that makes a huge difference for the plugins in mixing fase. A good source makes all the difference, starting with the musician. Thanks for the tip for home recording gear for the BAE 75EQ, this one is superb. Sounding much thicker then the Rupert 551 now use on the mixbus. Greatings from Belgium
Thanks for sharing!
I haven't pressed play yet, but I will head over to Kazrog and buy this plug-in just like I've done with all their other offerings. be right back
😂😂 just push up that top band when you want a little sheen and I don’t think you will regret the purchase whatsoever
we truly appreciate you, thanks!
I own a gazzillion compressors but I was excited to try this out when I heard they were going to release it. After 5 mins with the demo it was an easy choice to buy it. Not just for the quality but because it's literally so good at tone shaping with Comp, De-essing, EQ, sidechain and boost, all in one, you don't need much else so it's a time saver as well.
Plus I have always wanted an Avalon unit hehehe
Thanks for watching and congrats on your new toy
thanks! hope you get some great work done with it ⚡
Real talk, I purchased this plug the moment it dropped. Something I've been looking for for a long time... IF you are doing RnB vocals. Unless you are using a 1083, There is no reason you shouldn't have this tool. It IS the sound you need.
It is special for sure. Thank you for watching!
thank you!
First blind test Joe did, straight into Kazrog's site to get the 747 and a few other bits from them too. The top shelf genuinely adds air without creating a busy, fizzy top-end that most people would just immediately EQ out.
thank you!
Thanks for watching Derek. Congrats on your new toy!!
Great as always Joe! Love this 🤘
Glad you enjoy it!
Thank you!
!!!! Oh damn! We had a 747 in our university studio's, I miss it!
Give it a try!
They are monsters for sure. Thank you for watching
I really, really dig the sounds they're getting in the vid, so I bought it! Good marketing job there, Joe 😉 So far, it sounds brilliant.
Glad you’re loving it too! Best wishes
thanks so much!
This one is revolutionising my mixing customs, hence my sound. Apart from Kazrog True Iron, K clip, El Rey from acoustica, and Saturn (fabfilter) I've never heard any plugin drastically improving my sound as this Avalon emulation does... Kazrog is the real deal...
thanks so much for rocking with us, we appreciate you ⚡
@@KazrogPlugins What's next?
Have you tried the Knif Soma?
@@jimhardiman3836 Not yet. I'll give it a try.. Thanks for the recommendation
@@KazrogPluginsdude the 747 leveled up my mixes, I was missing s/c compression this whole time and that 32khz knob 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The thing I remember about Avalon’s was how subtle they sounded yet they sonically added a lot. Might have to give this plugin a try!
Let us know how you like it :) Thanks for watching
Agreed! Thanks for watching
Like virtually all of Kazrog's products, this is transformative. The aggregate impression: This plugin sounds expensive. I'll leave it to the video to wax poetic about the details. Oh yes, I just purchased...
Glad you enjoyed! Happy mixing
Thank you Tony !
thanks so much!
Absolutely amazing🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, Carlos!
I went to Madison Media Institute for a while . They had an Avalon preamp there that i fell in love with , it made my bass sound absolutely amazing.
damn, the raw mix sounds much better than my finished mixes 😭
Haha. Thanks Sam. By the way, these exact multi tracks are going to be available in the near future on PLAP🎉🎉
Great giveaway boys, thanks! And as always a pleasure to see gentleman Joe!
Sounds like a song that would be a pleasure to mix….
Thank you for watching Murray. And I do have some great news for you. That song will indeed be a multitrack on PLAP!!🎉🎉
@@InTheMixJoeCarrell Thanks 🙏, still watching!
The 747 is really a dream piece of gear! Hope the plugin does it justice!
@@InTheMixJoeCarrell unfortunately I’m not a member of PLAP, it’s a little luxury that I cannot have at the moment, long story….basically op went wrong and now I’m badly handicapped, but I keep on rocking, do live sound in a small club to pay the rent and mix and master at home to help some struggling musicians
tried the demo joe and i loved it i just purchased it thank you guys for doing this video and the free trial they way you guys explained it help alot i was wanting to get the hardware one but its to pricey
Thank you for watch Rob! Have a great weekend 🎉
Thanks Joe! You Rock!
thanks so much, make some great tracks with it!
Downloaded the trial, threw it on my latest grunge metal masterpiece, and after going through a few final master presets on the plugin, it reduced harshness and helped unify everything instantly with a warm and sweet high end-ish resonance. (The Devin Powers presets seemed to mesh best with what I'm doing). PURCHASED! Try the free version - you may be really surprised how what you thought was as good as you could get, just was lacking that secret something something. Another winner from Karzog (damn them!).
😅 thanks for watching 🎉
thanks so much!
Thanks Brad glad you like my presets. I have used the 747 for many years and as a rock guy I tend to hit things a bit harder!!. All presets do is give us all a window into place to start so adjust to taste and maybe make our own faves, and there are some really great one sin there by some super cool peeps ! Have fun using our VT747.. super excited to have it and use it everyday! ! all best dp
@@powersmusicgroup Thank YOU!
Glad you dig my presets!!!! make some glorious music bro
What a sound! There's that sweet depth and fullness that I would expect from A analog . ) It sounds so good it doesn't matter - but it seems to feel pretty close to the Avalon HW, Glow of tubes. The biggest difference will be the price : )))
Glad you enjoyed!
hope you enjoy it!
Agreed! Thank you for watching
This is cool. That's something I always wanted. No one cared to make an Avalon plugin besides UAD.
Glad yo enjoyed. Try it out and see what you think
Thank you for watching!
Kazrog is probably my favorite plugin company.
It looks like unlike True 252, the Avalon EQ section doesn't autogain. Is that Output knob for the overall outs or just the EQ section? Would be convenient to be able to regulate the EQ's level especially if you're running with the EQ pre-compressor.
Sorry for the delayed response. I believe that’s the overall output of the plug-in. Have a good week.
Thanks. Sean confirmed that's what it is and liked my idea to add an EQ gain control
This is the last plugin I was waiting to completely move my workflow from analog to digital!!! Why they took so long to emulate it??? I know there's a UAD version but it takes a lot of computer resources and additional hardware to use it... Well done Kazrog!!!
That top end sure feels like what I remember from the original too. Not all of them out there do that for the very top end. Thanks for watching!
It's here! Hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
Thanks for the kind words, hope you enjoy!
UAD does not have a plugin for the 747, they have one for the 737
this is the only 747 plugin, thanks!@@ernestbuckley8671
Been waiting for the UAD version I already own to go native, but this sounds great, I'm a purchase this one. I put Kclip 3 on everything
Appreciate you, enjoy!
Cool machine man. There a reason why some big name mastering engineers like it
If Joe C. Is under any recording,then is a REALLY GREAT RECORDING!!!
Thanks ever so much! Yes, Joe C is the best!
@@Producelikeapro don't forget Warren Huart!
@@pablovazquez8386too kind!
Thank you Pablo! That exact multitrack is coming to the PLAP fam soon!!
@@InTheMixJoeCarrell woooooooow!!!!!!
Very cool. But damn I have bought too much stuff recently. Bad timing :-)
I own many kazroq plugins but they don't offer "loyalty customers" introductory offers.
Will have to wait.
But a very cool plugin
Thanks for watching !
our intro sale is $50 OFF on this one, a 40% discount; hope you get a chance to check it out, thanks!
@@KazrogPlugins i will in the near future I hope.
Though I must admit I am confused by the pricing cause it goes down to 73 dollars and then taxes come and it goes to 88 euros at checkout which is 95 Dollars and the initial price is 129.
Or its too late in the night here and I am confused, dunno
Thanks for the tutorial.... now im buying a new plugin haha
Enjoy!
enjoy!
@@KazrogPlugins I have been I've been playing with it like Warren and CLA like to learn things and just turn knobs and push things. Just see what happens
Congrats on the new toy!!!
@InTheMixJoeCarrell thanks it's been great to use on my projects so far. I've never heard the real hardware in person but this sound of the plugin is amazing.
Amazing!!!!
🎉🎉🎉
@@InTheMixJoeCarrellyou Rock
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🎉🎉
🤘
I wonder how it compares with the 737 plugin from UA
This is the 747. It’s a different piece altogether. UA has the 737 channel strip
Well, Joe's unmixed song sounds better than my mixed songs I think. LOL that is one well recorded song.
Joe is a beast, for sure!
Keep on going! And if you want to try some multitracks, we have plenty available on our videos and inside the Academy.
😂😂 Keep on keeping on!!! Thank you for watching
@@Producelikeapro Yes I am A lifer in this lovely academy, thanks for everything you doing for us. /Patrik Larsson
I will never give up sir😄👍@@InTheMixJoeCarrell
Acustica Amber 3 and kazrog avalon747 which is better?
Acusticas Amber is not the 747. They modelled the Avalon AD2055 eq and the Avalon AD2044 optó comp.
@@eprotz oh okay
Can use 747 for preamp alone, sweet.
Indeed! Thanks for watching
Its not a pre-amp, its an EQ and compressor
its not a pre-amp@@Producelikeapro
It's a plugin if we're getting that vague.
@@zoundsic are you being sarcastic? We’re trying to answer questions. The Avalon 747 is a stereo EQ & Compressor, it is not a pre-amp.
You have one back there in the studio! Why not doing a side to side comparison?
I’ve used them many times myself! I had a pair that I loved for EQ and gentle compression on Electric Guitars
Hey Juan thank you for watching. That wasn’t actually mine and wasn’t even patched in. My friend Devin from Kazrog brought that over as a surprise photo opp. Beautiful isn’t it!! Have a good one.
How does this compare with the UAD version?
UAD doesn’t have a version of the 747. They do have the 737 preamp though
what happened to the free trial?
It's on the page linked above. Under 'version' hit 'Free Demo. Thanks!
@@Producelikeapro thanks
“Friends", when you pushed up the air band on the singer's beautiful voice, it sounded like pulling a barb wire through her throat. Far too much for calling it good, didn't you hear that?
Kazrog generally makes good plugins and this one may be good also, but I can only judge when I test it in my studio, getting the full impression of the stereo field and depths perception. As well how true it is to the original source, how does it treat low end and transients... This will be a fun one to test.
I have become extremely picky about plugins and use only some very rare exceptions today. I wish Shane good luck, he's a nice guy and a good coder with a good ear too (what only very seldom goes hand in hand). His K-Clip for instance did convince me.
Have fun, guys. 🎉
That graphic eq made into a 500 series module would be badass. Considering Avalon doesn't make any 500 units I won't hold my breath. 🤢
❤😊
Thanks ever so much!
Sounds great, but with the UI on the screen there is visual glitching in OS Monterey and in Logic overall…collapse the UI and the glitching disappears…strange.
I’m sure a V1.1 will be creeping up soon as so many are hitting so many systems now. Thanks for watching man!
If you're having issues, be sure to open a support ticket so we can look into this. Thanks!
@@KazrogPlugins Hi, I did. Most confusingly, a minimum OS 10.5 is required to run the plug-in and I am running 12.7… I was told that 12.7 doesn’t meet the minimum to run the plug-in…? … What am I missing?
my old friend Joe Carroll.
A friend to all! Thanks for watching
Thank you for watching!
Not sure if it's an encoding thing with UA-cam but I hear ZERO difference with the high shelve. Will check the demo I guess.
It’s very high frequency. You could always try a demo of the plug in if you’re curious. Best wishes
🙂👍
Thanks ever so much
This video just cost me $79!
Sorry!
Haha. Hope you enjoy it!!!
@@Producelikeapro It's money well spent!
Thanks so much! Enjoy ⚡
Hmmm... The giveaway is broken for me
Please try again! Many thanks, Warren
I don’t know if it’s just me. I think I realize the older you get the more your ears are sensitive to meticulous changes. It’s not enough change for me to believe this is better than anything else. Not to mention that protools is annoying my eyes.
Is there a place where to watch a review about this plugin without that much talking?
i would have loved to see the whole video but the commercials interrupted key parts that you want to hear the changes when effects are applied...incredibly annoying so i had to leave :(... i understand everyone wants to monetize but it is a real turn off to have sooooo many commercials....i have bee a loyal subscriber but kinda getting annoyed by the cutoffs...
Be sure to grab the free trial demo Adriana. With or without the video everyone needs to hear it in their own room on their own mixes and speakers. Thanks so much for watching!!
adblock for youtube solves that
right Away I Can't Watch this :( When Someone Talks Over or Stops and Starts Right At The A/B Listening Test...
NO NEED TO SAY ANYTHING When WE CAN SEE THE BYPASS LIGHT ON THE SCREEN -
Not hearing much difference, sorry.
Get your ears checked. Clear as day even on an iPad.
Well what he said in the video is it’s just 2% better here, then on another track 2% better there - it’s all subtle but all adds up. I definitely hear more richness, that sweeter high end, and a little more cohesion through harmonics, I guess. It seems like a little extra sparkle that will be a lot of fun to experiment with! This is a high quality company - they always stand out. I’ll be getting it!
As in the hardware it is only to obtain subtle changes but that together they all become a big difference..
If you’re really interested, be sure to grab the demo and listen in your own studio on your own speakers. Thanks for watching ✌🏼✌🏼
I shot this out against both nebula Avalon Plugin
Alex Bs Colors Pres and Saturation
and Henery Onlago Mojo , both in Avalon 747 Mode....they blew this thing away....even on vocals....really disappointing KAZROG....they should have invested in some
Convulation Live analog sampling with this and it wouldnt sound so digital and cold...tube saturation is warm...heck....Nebula's C660 Compressor would do a better job than this
Using
Amber's EQ from Acustica Audio, Alex B's Hardware run though, and the Nebula C660 together...will get you 95% closer to the Avalon Units Hardware Sound
But these Digital Plugins like this one ...suck...LOL
They hung themselves...not adding a better eq and some tube saturation emulation...like attaching a "Heater Plugin" type section to it....I think if they did those two things you could adjust this closer to getting the actual hardware sound....
Based on your post history, you appear to have very negative opinions of Acustica, so it's hard to take this comment very seriously in that light.
In any case, dynamic convolution is a poor fit for something this dynamic and harmonically rich, and our approach is better in every single aspect: accuracy with analog, resolution independence, CPU footprint, model introspection, aliasing rejection, and harmonic detail.
Snake oil. if you have the money there is an UA serious development. If you have more money, buy the hardware. I you don't have the money this won't help you to earn more.
Acustica Amber 3 and kazrog avalon747 which is better?
I have and love both!!! I’ve never compared them though. Thank you for watching Tim 🎉
