    What if videos like this replaced product names with their price. Guys just say: "I just loved $7,200. To my ear, it's got something special that $800 lacks, though $800 is pretty nice itself. Frankly, I was expecting more from $2,400." 😄

    Ive spent two hours in a shop playing with AH, plus watched too many demos. I want to love it, but it just doesn't sing to me. I think Elysia is next closest in my price range to give my ideas some sparkle and I love the sparkle it gives! One lotto win and a Vertigo... the Vertigo sound is just sensational!

    • @zerorossing207
      @zerorossing207 7 років тому +2

      That's exactly the conclusion I came to as well. Not bad, but in that demo, After the Vulture, I quickly jumped from the Vertigo to the Heat, and... it wasn't good. Heat sounds like a plugin. A good plug in, but not sure it's worth the cost. It's just lacking the dynamics and detail. Start saving!

    Culture Vulture was head and shoulders above. The others weren’t as complex, the presence and grit just weren’t there in the same way. When I want distortion, that’s what I’m looking for, the little fluctuations too, I want some jagged edges. The Elektron sounded the worst to me by far, the Elysia didn’t go far enough and the Vertigo seemed nice overall but also glossier than the Vulture.
    1. Vulture
    2. Vertigo
    3. Elysia
    4. Elektron

    does anyone have more thoughts about the Karacter and Culture Vulture? I'm interested in these units, but after this video I can't tell how these two compare...

  • @medwaystudios
    @medwaystudios 6 років тому

    Cool test. Doesn't look like he tried the Triode mode on the CV which seems to be the best for a whole mix, not the P3 which is a sharp boost filter effect. I think partly why the VSM sounded so good was because the Heat was pretty flat before it.

    i wonder how much the band-limiting has to do with the vsm-2 being great. with some simple pre-emphasis and post-de-emphasis EQ in the computer, maybe a simple tube gainstage would be even better.

  • @telkmx
    @telkmx 7 років тому +1

    the karacter sounds bloody goood. It gives an edge to everything. Same as the vulture but in a ruffer way.
    Vertigo is in another league.
    I'm not really fond of the heat tho.. A tad sad but it's not giving compression while the others are ?

    Thought he used the mpc 3000 as a centerpiece, I see push and jam looks like he expanded.. Maybe finally found that mpc swing emulation lol.. (wich I found was bs, you can make any groove in ableton just resample the swing and save the groove as a preset)
