I remember buying Acustica's Titanium, my first Acqua plugin, which is also the SMC-2B. It has been around since 2015 and I'm still using it all the time.
I have the mastering version of the hardware unit as also the master buss processor , yes, these units are giving very professional sound I was unable to reach only with plugins. I will compare the HW with the software, let's see how close they came.
Sold my PoCo pcie with VSS3 and CL-1B for 100 euros back in Crete some 8 years ago! Hope the guy who got it still has it working. Incredible sound! You also reminded me of how much I miss filtroid. Anybody out there! Is there a direct substitution for filtroid? Great review as always!
Thanks for the video, very helpful. I am surprised you didn't appear to change the attack and release knobs and just kept them at 12 o'clock. For mastering most use slow attack and fast release. Then fir a 2 bus a faster attack and med release
@DomSigalas did you compared it with your HW unit? if yes how you feel the plugin reacts to the parameters changing? i remember the HW has the ability to raise up sound details into a complex dynamic passages without the need of punching the gain too much. PS: i think the Portico MBC is sampled into the Acustica Audio SNOW suite
Hola y gracias!! Podría hacerse un compresor óptico multibanda con el studio rack de waves dividiendo el espectro en multibanda y poniendo cl1b o la2a en cada una de ellas? Funcionaria? Puede ser?
I respectfully disagree. I have the Waves C6, and the one in Cubase and they are very flat sounding compared to the Tube Tech. I also have thr Drawmer 1973 from Tube Tech. That one is great in making a 2 bus mix punchy like a API bus compressor. It however does not have the finesse if a opto compressor.
Just a while ago there was the Softube buss compressor with the glue, and now there’s this multi-band compressor with the glue. So much glue, I’m ‘stuck’ for choice…😅 Great review.
Beat Designer need an upgrade. Needs to be more accessible an easier to use 🙈 Now its quite difficult to copy a drum loop to a track without it keep looping through the whole track. FL Studio got that right
the times four is shown around the knob but they did not succeed to show multiplied value in the pop up readout. Missed opertunity to make these details show as well.
I love it when that first track of yours hits the chorus. Great modulation and production...the plug in is good too.
that song is absolutely a fabulous tribute to 80's....i love it so much
You look so happy using the plugin - I would buy it just because of that ;)
Marketing victim.
Excellent video.Really sweet track, beautiful melody, so well produced !!!
I was waiting for the “Oh Henry” eighties commercial “ohhhhh yeahhhhh” voice to kick in with those eighties drums Dom!
I used to own a Powercore (and a UAD lol) that was so cool at the time :)
i still use my powercore for mastering. MD3 is unbeatable and RNDigital D4 too. I havent heard anything like thees plugins yet
Oh yes, I used to have a TC Powercore in my PC :)

Waves C4 and C6 offer Opto option - not sure if they emulate tubes or not.
Bought. Exceptional plugin but really cpu intensive.
I had this unit it was a BIG sound.

Hello DoM

It is good but there is not something that blew me away, the Mix sounds good, so any other good Multiband Comp would make it better too

@@glennbucc7107 try opening the attack a bit if you are finding them flat sounding...
