I really liked this thing. All the Channel Strips have functions I don't like and when that happens I just add other plugins to complement. But I think the Eq, THD and compression are really cool! Great Review! Cheers!
A note on the low end boost: Tobias Lindell excluded it purposefully so there wouldn't be a boost every time it's added to a track. You can bring this back by adding 2.5 dB to the low end and saving it as the default preset.

The only plugin alliance channel strip I'd love to see in the future is one done similarly to Scheps omni with modules that can be reordered and inserts for other plugins. I think it would also be sweet to be able to combine different modules from their different consoles into one plugin like an 80s series pre with a SSL eq and a 50 series comp then put a SPL transient designer or DeEsser in the inserts.

@@whitenoisestudio i mean i am doing mostly real instrument recording kinda tracks most of the time (edit: peoples mileage may vary). Anywho... horses for courses i suppose.
I haven’t used this plug-in, but the curves on the eq kept me reaching for the waves version back when I used their plugins. Was a constant go-to for guitars.
Wow, another channel strip. Been waiting my whole life to add one more this to my 40 other channel strips collection. So i can forget about it and continue using ProQ3 and Pro C2 like i do everyday
it cost me 30 bucks because i still have forever 29 and to be honest its nice to have a helos native. UAD has yet to port the one they make. I do love the eq but totally agree with all your points. the output gain is clean the eq can crunch easily and the bus section is dumb lol
A lot of people are bored by analog emulations - I am able to get excited about analog emulations, when they either push analog modeling technology forward, or emulate new products. I dont know of another manufacturer (outside of perhaps UAD) who have modelled this compressor specifically. We are a long way off from perfectly emulating some analog devices, anything that pushes us closer to that goal is interesting to me (though Brainworx don't comment too much on this particular objective - they just make their products). All of that being said, this sounds very good - wish they would have maintained the integrity of the circuit in their emulation with regard to the low band....who really knows how extensively devs try and "model". Sadly, these days - I think a lot of them slap a fancy GUI on a set of old algorithms, add a little saturation and a default .5dB volume boost when instantiated, and call it a day....not saying that is happening here, but analog emulation is a can of worms
Hahah, that 0,5 dB of gain at the output is absolutely a thing. For me it's a bit scammy since you can easily be fooled that it sound better because of that. By th eway, this plugin is coded by LSR, not brainworx. Waves Kramer HLS channel ( HeLioS) is also based on this type of console, the one from the rolling stones recording truck specifically if i recall correctly.
@@whitenoisestudio Yes thats true - Lindell are pretty good usually. And I do find the Waves version very useable. They’re unbelievably hit and miss but they do have some good emulations- that and the PIE compressor are fabulous. I’m sort of waiting for the next big innovation in modeling technology to come through. Acustica are getting close with their newer products specifically (like straw). That one is absolutely incredible and may be basically 1:1 for all I know. Hopefully we dont have to wait for quantum computing for this to happen, and then I can finally sell my hardware.
Acustica is usually great. My complaints aboit them are that often the guis are cramped, their product naming is confusing as hell for an old man like me and I can't keep up with their release schedule ;-)
Great review! I like the AMEK 9099 as far as channel strips from Plugin Alliance, and the Lindell 50 and 80 Series work well. I usually turn off the TMT features because I don't think the differences add up in the end. Lately, I've been using Eventide's UltraChannel, which is ancient in comparison, but it has pretty much everything you would need without all the fancy modeling stuff.
Vintage plugin! If yoiu already plan to use TMT , you should enable it right at the start and never touch it again later in the mix. It can throw off your setting too much.
TMT is nothing but a marketing gag. Your perception is absolutely correct. The thing is - and most people do overlook that - most of the time there is a whole different signal on each channel. Which means you wouldn't notice any interaction with the channel right next to it. If you have let's say a synth lead on channel 5 and a bass guitar on channel 4 your mix doesn't get miraculously wider or "deeper" just because the synth channel high shelf starts at 10,1KHz instead of 9.98 KHz. That just isn't the case. It simply doesn't matter. That is the reason why the audio inddustry didn't care to eliminate those little differences, because they just don't have any major impact. The only situation, where such tiny differences do matter is when you have (almost) the same signal in two channels. Only then you would hear slight phase-related and amplitude-related effects but they would be so subtle that it would get lost in a full mix anyway. The main effect of making things wider comes from placing your stereo mics or ERs. The technical differences are way more crucial than any difference caused by TMT could ever be. And before anyone comes up with "He doesn't know what he's talking about": I've been an mixing engineer for 23 years, been mixing on a 48channel Neve VR Legend. There is one thing that hasn't been modelled yet - that is the bleeding of loud signals onto the next channel of a console. I believe this would have way more effect on a mix than TMT have ever had.
I feel we have reached the end of the road with these type of plugins. Now all that's left is an EQ that looks like Fab Filter with the analog sound of Acustica Audio. But again, people are still better off with something as simple as SlickEQ. Reverbs are an exception because they can still scale more in 'realism' and 'other worldly beauty'
But the thing about the Plugin-Alliance SSL strips is that they make the E, the G, and the J. And each letter brings you closer and closer to Z, and of course Z stands for impedance, and impedance is a big part of audio engineering, which is how this Helios channel was created - with engineering. So that you don’t have to be the engineer. You can take a break and rest and let someone else be the engineer who steers the train. This way you’re not always training and overloading your brain, so your brain can breathe and work properly. Your brain will work, so you see it is called “Brainworx” for your brain and my brain and all of us working. Alright!! 😎👍👍
Really good point though....Do we really need more of these? They're not really the hardware. They go for this hardware replacement dream thing.... We don't need that. We have so many of the warming etc available already. We can get the curves that don't good and The compression styles that work..... We know the general things we want in a mix. I say develop more new innovative pligins. Plugins that aren't pretending that they're not digital and take advantages of what's possible to do as a plugin.
Yeah I don't know. I don't mind channelstrip plugins, but for me, hardware is still more grabby which hasn't been emulated yet in channelstrips. Some more specific plugins have managed that already.
@@whitenoisestudio I don't dislike them or anything..It's the do we need more that are basically trying to emulate the specific board, question? And not doing much that the mixer couldn't do.... When it's a plugin. Doesn't need to have the same limitations
Good run-through, as always. You didn't seem to 'bash' it all, lol. I was expecting worse, as I rather like the 'sound'. There don't seem to be any videos of the hardware anywhere, which seems really odd. Any idea why Marlon?

Acustica really does some great plugins, only their Guis are often very cramped. And I cannot keep up with their release schedule. It's also a bit weird when you get a plugin, in 3 weeks they will have the new greatest ever. I'm just afraid they go too hard right now and that somewhere it will break down..
@@whitenoisestudio heel eerlijk. Dat dacht ik ook. Echter, Ocean en Straw zijn van een ander kaliber. Verder is Frost, Pensado2 EQ en Magic Flow te gek. Maar ben het met je eens. Wat moet ik nu met al hun andere plugins lol. Die hypermode is wel echt waanzinnig.
boosts of eq are really smooth; similar to la2a compressor,...you hardly destroy the sound; for the bus thing you mentioned,....look at robert babicz tutorial when he inserted plugin on every track without applied any settings....and then he did a/b ...it's really nice sounding....so 69 is the same,....i wonder why you didn't test and comment on that ?
The “fader” transformer that is totally transparent is a bit of joke (if it is actually true). Although, boosting the EQ into a saturated input gain is how most channel of a desk react. It actually is very similar on an SSL desk for example. A thing that I haven’t noticed at all with PA SSL channelstrips and that only UAD emulated properly (to my despair). So it’s def not something wrong here. I don’t know if you worked on analog desk long enough, but if you did you’d have maybe noticed that. As much as PluginDoctor reviews are super useful and I thank you for doing so! I think it is important to have enough experience with the original piece to review a plugin that emulates it and be able to know what is to be expected from it. Otherwise it’s almost like tasting chicken flavored crisps without having tasted chicken in your life before. And saying in a review online "These crisps have a weird taste, not like all the others, that's weird.". No it's not, it's how they are supposed to taste, if yall see what I mean :).
You can easily abuse plugin doctor, but it can be ok to show what is happening. i disagree with your statement about having used the original hardware. You can judge a plugin on it's own merits and come to a conclusion.

I couldnt be arsed to review their latest amp sims, they did nothing for me either positively or negatively.
hehehe
Better to learn your stock daw plugins than waste time and money deciding whether a plugin such as this is worth your money..
Of all the channel strips plugin alliance offers that I like, this isn't one of them.

Lame plugin
Another boring emulation
What are they thinking
Companies should be driven by money, better innovative plugins would sell better
You'd be surprised. A lot of people still hang in the '' old = good'' vibe.
