N4 Setups
Re: N4 Setups (in development)
Thank you Francis for the video. With Nebula Setups you can make an eq with all its frequencies with a single instance of N4? I do not know if I explain too well. That is, with an N4 it claims multiple instances? I know that the video speaks of multiple, but my English has some limits of intelligence, lol
Thanks
Thanks

No, with setups you can not make multiple instances inside single Nebula plugin.Jordi wrote: ↑Tue Feb 06, 2018 3:02 pmThank you Francis for the video.

The main "trick" of the setups is to create/derive multiple separate instances of N4 plugin with custom/limited preset list (library, processing type ...), custom skin etc.

Re: N4 Setups (in development)
Really waiting forward to this!
Re: N4 Setups (in development)
Finally we have nebula configurations, thanks for the effort Zabukowski. I would like you to give me some advice to optimally configure my presets for mixing. Kernels, buffer, etc ... to enter them into the tweaks department. I would also like to say if there is a difference between local tweaks and global tweaks.

Re: N4 Setups (in development)
Local tweaks are the ones which are applied to the current setup only. Global tweaks are applied to every setup, when you save it (they are not a part of specific setup). When setup is saved, global tweaks are applied first and after that, local tweaks are applied. If no tweaks are defined, original values from base N4 plugin are used.Jordi wrote: ↑Sat Mar 31, 2018 11:09 pmFinally we have nebula configurations, thanks for the effort Zabukowski.

It is good to know, that tweaks always override previously defined tweaks, if they have the same name. Global changes override original values. Local changes override both original and global values.
Example: N4 base plugin contains parameter AHEADLENGTH. If you tweak this value in your setup, it will override/replace the original value.

Hi Zab ! About the tweaks, well we have a scrolling menu like before with the list of all possible tweaks ?zabukowski wrote: ↑Sun Apr 01, 2018 2:37 pmLocal tweaks are the ones which are applied to the current setup only.

Re: N4 Setups (in development)
I've used N4 VST3 Version
just tried to create a VST2 Setup - i can't
can I just install N4 VST2 and use VST2 and VST3 at the same time, or will they interfere?

Re: N4 Setups (in development)
In some cases like Cubase/Nuendo, only VST3 will be visible. In Reaper, for example, both can be used.XanomalieX wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 5:19 pmI've used N4 VST3 Version

"I can't" isn't really helpful

I wasn't really surprised, thought it's normal cause I did not install VST2 yet!
I wanted your blessing to install them both

Or should I ask: Is there any benefit using VST3 since all the aquas use only VST2?

Re: N4 Setups (in development)
N4 is the first Acustica VST3 plugin, so this is rather new territory for us.XanomalieX wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 5:29 pmOr should I ask: Is there any benefit using VST3 since all the aquas use only VST2?zabukowski wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 5:24 pm"I can't" isn't really helpfulFor a start, please check this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmeEKE_VW5k&t=1s
It works fine i think, but currently there are no real advantages over VST2 in everyday's work.
We have plan to support native VST3 sidechain in the future, which for many could be the advantage.

Re: N4 Setups (in development)
So I just install VST2 over the VST3 installation, or should I decide myself for one of them?zabukowski wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 6:36 pmN4 is the first Acustica VST3 plugin, so this is rather new territory for us.

Re: N4 Setups (in development)
It won't install over it, but alongside it....you can usually have both installed without problem (other than those issues mentioned by Zab already)XanomalieX wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 8:26 pmSo I just install VST2 over the VST3 installation, or should I decide myself for one of them?zabukowski wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 6:36 pmN4 is the first Acustica VST3 plugin, so this is rather new territory for us.

Re: N4 Setups (in development)
Keep getting error trying to make setup in pro tools. When is this manual gonna be available. I bought n4 when it first came out and it's just become so more fucking confusing.
Re: N4 Setups (in development)
Also I thought setups would give us the availability to create from one instance if nebula a total eq or console
