ADPTR Sculpt from Plugin Alliance. Is it a GAME CHANGER for mixing and mastering? PART 1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- "Game Changer" is my least favorite phrase at the moment. But is ADPTR Audio's Sculpt a game-changer?
In this video, I very briefly go through the new ADPTR Sculpt to give you an idea of how the INDIVIDUAL MODULES actually sound and a rundown of the functions. No Plugin Doctor involved.
It's been a deep learning curve for me so please feel free to add any tips or tricks you have discovered yourself, or any corrections in the comments.
In Part 2 I will be looking at the plugin using all the modules together in a mastering session and in the mix.
Disclaimer:
I am obviously aware that my comparison with an SSL Buss Compressor is a little unfair as the compressor in Sculpt is not modeled on the G Buss or a VCA compressor. Also, in combination with the other modules, the signal can be compressed, and then the transients are introduced or re-introduced using the transient module.

I’ve got this all over the place, channels, groups and master, it’s the tool I’ve been looking for since plugins started, a real game changer and ass saver, get a lot of dodgy old and new stuff to work on and it brings things out that are a lot harder to do with mixtures of plug-ins, I love it!
It's definitely a great plugin, and I agree, for me, it is also a game changer. I love it. Thanks for watching dude.
How do you deal with all the latency ? I cant use it do to that. I'm looking for a Waves MV2 replacement
Thanks for this video...very informative...I also got the Sculpt just recently and cant wait to tweak it...I like that song youre using in your test...sounds like an 80's classic
Hey buddy, thank you for watching. The track is actually something I wrote and produced in 2013, but never released it. I use a lot of my old unreleased productions to avoid copyright strikes. I was going for the 80s vibe when I did it. Perhaps I should consider releasing it now as that whole 80s sound seems to be en vogue.
Interested on your thoughts...picked this up a few weeks back but haven't deep dived as of yet
If used properly it can be great. If it’s abused it can sound terrible.
Thanks for the review. I just got a copy of it and it's a massive plugin. Use it to enhance for some older songs
Awesome man, enjoy the plugin and thank you for watching. Stay safe.
29:00 great to say that cuz it can also make lots of damage if don´t know how to use.
Thanks for watching dude. Yes you can definitely do more bad than good with this plugin if you are not careful. It definitely needs to be learned properly to get the full benefits.
thanks for the video
Thanks man and thank you for watching.
This is a great review on this innovative and not easy to operate plugin. The level compensation is indeed phenomenal.
The use of the upward compression makes more sense on a bus and not so much on the master bus. It's sucking out the dynamic of your drums and the bass attack of your track. But nevertheless is great to have it in the plugin.
As far as I understood this plugin, with the tone (EQ) function you can manipulate the character of the compression. Like on denise audios plugin dragon fire. There it is called a push-pull EQ. It's pulling or pushing the Eq into or from compression.
Hey buddy, thank you for watching and thank you for your kind words. To be honest, in almost all of the examples, I do push the plugin a little harder than I would in an actual piece of work for a client. The trouble with YT is that it is not always easy to hear the "before and after" so I often find I have to over exaggerate settings to enable people to hear the results on their phones or laptops.
I love the Dragon Fire plugin especially the push-pull EQ function.
I subscribed. I am curious to see more competent reviews from you. Yes, dragon fire is really unique. 😊
@@NikolausBrocke Thanks Nik. I try and keep my reviews simple and to the point. No fuss or fluff, so hopefully you can take something from them in the future. Thanks for subscribing, I appreciate it.
Great review thanks man
Thank you and thank you for watching
Ummm, arent tilt EQs and transient designers largely mathematical (adding & subtracting according to parameters)? Isn't this plugin neutral of non-linearities? I'm not sure how these are so natural and amazing sounding without any kind of special sauce bejng added. 🤷🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️😂
Thanks for watching. I am not a massive fan of tilt EQs to be honest and I am not that fond of the transient designer in this plugin. For me it is all about the compressor. That is what I use most in this plugin. But to have them all in one plugin is handy for sure.
@@TheCratesMotel interesting. You gush about both in actual video. Good to know your opinion has changed. What's the reason for that out of interest?
@@marshy_moo I change my mind every day dude 😂
@@TheCratesMotel lol, a timely caution for impressionable people watching YT vids 😂
@@marshy_moo Haha. What I really mean is, I try out/demo and use so many plugins, I chop and change what I prefer etc. I guess I have my go to plugins, but the peripheral ones change quite often. Thanks again for watching and commenting. Have a great weekend.
