Version 1.3.7 RC [to be released on monday]

Post by **richie43** » Mon Mar 31, 2014 10:27 pm

The last I heard, the success or failure to mesh with ProTools is up to Avid to cooperate with Acustica. ProTools is so proprietary and almost cryptic, they don't make it easy for other developers to make software that works on it. Who knows, they may even invent yet another new ProTools only plugin format......

There are so many great DAW programs these days, and many studios (even bigger studios) are either migrating or at least considering migrating out of a locked down DAW system. Not flamin' anyone, just sayin'....

I hope those great improvements be in the cpu consumption, or we will have to wait 5 years till we have more powerfull pcs to handle a decent mix project without render 10000 times xD.

There are some great improvements coming for CPU optimization, but realistically, Nebula/Acqua plugins will always be heavier on CPU than standard plugins. I don't think we will ever see a time where many people will have the system powerful enough, for instance, to run large and complex mixes with hundreds of heavy Nebula instances all in real-time..... rendering/freezing tracks will most likely always be part of the work-flow, in my opinion. BUT....I see this as a good thing because since Nebula is hardware emulation and for any of you who have worked with a choice piece of hardware (and remember that far back...

) also remember rendering/freezing/PRINTING to tape that unit so it could be used elsewhere in the mix. This need to "print" the Nebula instances forces decisions to be made, and I see that as a good thing.

I can do Massive mixes at 48khz with nebula!

Bragging is not nice, Tim.......

Sorry

I guess I'm happy with the improvements!

But I guess I'm not using many Pre's and stuff of that nature.

I was just kidding. I was just defending he users that don't yet have a "nuclear" beast computer. I run some pretty large mixes, but I also render Nebula instances very early in the mix, often I batch process to make the decisions and move on. But yes, the new "engine" is working much more efficiently than even the last stable release. I am excited for people to get this and start working with it.

Sure....

I think also I was trying to say that the lower sample rates do me fine for mixing in most cases, I like the quickness of it.

I'm not saying what is right or wrong but for me I like 48khz!!

Indeed. As much as I might like higher sample rates, most of my work is still 44.1 believe it or not. I love the lessened CPU load for sure, especially with Nebula doing better and better overall.

...but 96 kHz is hard with nebula...
I believe more and more for mixes without rendering to use UAD and nebula "only" for special jobs like the mojo of real or other unique tasks. but yes, to do mixes only with nebula and without rendering is a dream and will be a dream for a long, long time.

dropouts, loading time, preset loading time, background processing... everything improved a lot. Still betatesting, fixing issues, but 1.3.7 will be really a revolution.

sounds good! sorry for posting here

but I was wondering if I buy nebula 3 ( I need au64bit for logic so its kind of useless right now ) can we upgrade to nebula 4 for free or do we have to buy that completely apart? can someone answer to this?

starting from today, when you change a preset you don't have dropouts or silenced audio any more. The audio simply goes on, without a break, anything.

AWESOME! At first I thought "April Fool's Day was yesterday, maybe he's joking" but you posted April 2nd

Probably the wrong place to say this, but my birthday is April Fool's Day (true).

starting betatesting for mac osx too.
Mac osx was NEVER so good. No dropouts, incredibly fast, reliable
