Love your reviews but when comparing the 2 comps just duplicate the track and flip between the 2 so we can hear the two without blips. Great job!! 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
+Geedygeedy haha. I hear ya man. To me it seemed faster when switching parameters to not have to go over and switch solos. But point taken. 😁
Thank you sir! That was a great review. Helped me out a lot man!🙌🏾
I prefer the UAD. I feel like Acustica add a little be of low end bump, and i tend to record a lot of hip hop vocals with severe mic proximity effects.
but if someone can't use UAD, is this worthy?
@@hodshonf I honestly don't know. I'm on the fence right now. There are instances that I ended up just using the AVID stock Fairchild. Now I'm not saying that Acustica's is bad, but it has not been special. I only had this plugin for a month so maybe i need more time with it dunno
@@hodshonf I mean sure! Though I do think the Overloud one sounds closer to the UA than it is to the Acustica. Acustica adds a bit of top-end which is great but to me it sounds a bit too much just for my taste. I'd probably use the Acustica on a guitar bus to kinda charge the guitars a bit cuz sometimes the UAD can get a little too warm with guitars but for vocals UA wins and Overloud comes so close that if I didn't have UAD I'd probably choose Overloud AND it has three diff versions of a Fairchild which is super cool! Puigchild sounds deadass so good as well! It's like with hardware like no two Fairchilds will sound the same but it's the "flavor" you try to listen.
thanks for the video! uad is smooth, acustica is VIBE
Great job!!
feelings like UAD has a little bit faster release in compression
interesting plugins... more too add to my wish list! LOL .. great video!
+Shawn Melody nah. You don’t need them all. Keep it simple. I review a lot of plugins. But tend to use the same 10 or so on everymix.
What other compressors do you have to your Wish list? Which compressors do you highly recommend ! I love compressor tastes and it’s amazing talking to others with the same passionate interest
@@razzerraw1108 One of my favorite compressor plugins is the dlM sixtyfive. It's awesome and free!
Have you ever used the Comp670 from overloud? Would that compete?
+Jake G I have not. I’ll have to check it out.
What are you workstation specs? Want to know since your template is running so many plugins.
+bob smith I got a iMac Pro. A UAD octo and quad. As well as the waves server. 😬
Matty: "I don't know... I...kinda...prefer it..."
That's what Acustica does. It tears you away from all those plugins you have loved for so long and you slowly realize you have to let go.
In comparison UAD sounds just dry..! Try Ultramarine 3, it sounds different in a good way.
Ultramarine totally smokes the UAD version in my opinion. More open sound, bigger...more 3D
Yep. Used to work in a studio with a real 670. The massive massive internal components give it a really deep ‘dimensional’ sound. The Acustica is the only 670 that has it. The UAD is good too, and i use both! But the Acustica just has that original 670 vibe, gotta be because it’s sampled.
put your monitor higher if you can, better posture
UAD sounds great, but MAN... That 3D sound from Ultramarine..... Sexy
One thing I don't understand is why Ultramarine has completely different Attack and release times from the original Fairchild.
Hello, thanks for your videos, as it's Black Friday with not a lot of time to listen to all Acustica plugins, could you please give us your top Comp, top EQ and top channel Strip please, or must have Acustica plugs ? :)
Bro that spring is beautiful. But yes, springs are meant to be mono.
Dew one on that new aquamarine compressor please and why there plugins take up so much could they should had fix that by now
Anhother good review. I'm using it from 2 months ago and for me is an incredible AA plugin
Two questions: what’s your go-to spring reverb and runner up? Second, do you know you sound like Norm MacDonald? Thanks
I also heard the magic on a Fairchild is in Lat Vert mode.
+Geedygeedy ya. I didn’t go over that part. But a great function for sure.
Great on a drum buss
i guess; horizon; m and s ; mid and sides.
just amazing how UAD is losing pretty much every comparison against AA. UAD are decent plug ins, just terribly overpriced. the whole PR campaign is working great - people praise them like nothing else (if you paid 400 bucks for a little piece of software you better. i think its due to the technology - with algorhythmic plugins you can only get to a certain point, acustica is working like a dynamic multi layered impulse response thing and it seems it captures the saturation aspect of vintage units way better. and in the end its 75% about that, compression or EQ curves arent such a challenge i think.
i could not agree more with your sentiments regarding UAD's marketing and plugins. what's funny to me is it seems to be only Acustica fans who attribute AA's quality to the convolution technology and use this "algo" four-letter word hehe. I really do not believe that. if i had to guess, i'd say ultramarine smokes this UAD plugin because it was made better. i don't believe it is because the convolution approach is inherently better sounding. i actually don't think saturation is hard to capture, either. if i had to guess what makes hardware compressors sound so much better than plugins, i'd guess it has something to do with the way hardware (and tape) presents the mid frequencies throughout the attack and decay portions of sound. the gap i've observed between hardware and plugins are is not bridge-able with saturation and/or eq because there is a time-based element to the handling of sound. compressors are really showing this difference and i wonder if the leading edge of a sound being mid-focused contributes at all to this 3D thing we hear. because "3D" is absolutely audible in mono. it's not a stereo thing exclusively. but i think time domain may have something to do with it. this and cream are the AA plugins that have impressed me the most so far.
UAD is kind of a weird concept when you have powerful and affordable computers. Why do they need their own processor?
@@WillyJunior software piracy for one thing. it also seems to be hella working for them in business terms
@@dirkchurlish4074 They're loosing money by not making their plugins more affordable though. To people like me, it's really not a biggie if I don't own any of their stuff because there are so many more "dope", affordable options out there. I would have been bought a few of their plugs if they weren't so ridiculously priced. No thank you though. Not until the price comes down anyway.
@@lightafluident.9950 they do sales and they are quite affordable and being able to run off dsp is much more reliable. acustica plugins are incredibly sluggish and kill work flow and im sorry but uad blows them out of the water in dynamics plugins and arent far off in every other area. theres a reason the pros use UAD, waves, and soundtoys as a standard. its because they work, are stable, sound great, and dont take up much cpu.
Horrible review dude
Thanks dude! Sick comment!
Dope!!! You were fast... Nice review
+2F U-FLOW thank you man.
What is your name....
looking forward to sand 3 review
dam the UAD sounds smoother
dam not really
@@WillyJunior You're telling me what my ears hear?
UAD sounds smoother, no question. Absolutely no question. The UAD is also de-essing a bit like a comrpessor should, and smoothens out that uppermidrangey hardness. UAD wins here (and im an acustica fan boy)
acustica usually will win everywhere but on compressors although i do love el rey
