AlexB V2 comp

[cps418]

4kd with proper compression would sell like hot cakes.but it's probably a hard one to come by, as well as all the mixing boards.

So please don't look at upgrade-sales right now while you've only done a few of your presets. I think your 'popular' stuff is yet to be done. I didn't buy MF-console for instance because I'm still happy with using the old VBC / CBC (and your Sidecar for the 1081's ). Now if there wasn't going to be a CLCv2, I Would buy MFC instantly .

Indeed.

Plus, none of the compressors have been updated if I'm right. All the eqs are already fantastic, even in V1. I agree that it wouldn't be a priority for me to update them. But for compressors (I own MWD, 4KD, FNX and OTD) I have the tone color but not the correct dynamic behavior. I can't use them (unless I need only 0,5dB of GR...). I think that it would have been a good idea to start with compressors and not eqs for V2.

Maybe.

I agree ... the original releases are excellent. I've been fine with the dynamic release ... up till the Titanium release The new Nebula 'engine' is the compressor game-changer.

But wait till you hear the v2 EQ's

personally I hope the mastering console, EQ, & dyn are to follow ... well actually, there is quite the list I'm looking toward.

I'm mainly waiting for upgrades to the compressors as they would truly benefit from latest Nebula release (and will benefit even more once Nebula 4 is released).

Which AlexB libraries have been updated to V2?

[AlexB]

Actually the V2 are: MTC, VMeQ, MPeQ.

The new compressors sound a lot better than old, even without the new technology which is exclusive for acqua plugins and it allows to control the fast transient only, but the sound...

[hwasser]

The thing apparently is Alex, a lot of users are willing to pay the $5 upgrade (or more) for V2-upgrades (specially after using the new V2 libraries like the MF eq / dynamics) but they aren't here yet for most of the users.

Agreed. I'm not interested in the MFC though because it sounds to modern and too less colored for the kind of music I record and mix.

Moog is synthstuff. Enough said.

I'm very interested in the v2 VBeq and MBC though!

Btw, the v2 versions are also in 44.1 kHz. Does 44.1 use less ram and cpu usage than 99.6 version when used in a 44.1 project?

I think your focus was not on the most popular items. MBC, CLC, BMQ, PTQ etc. are the ones I believe people would jump on, not the Moog eq or the tube console.

As for the compressors, I'd really love to have a proper Phoenix, maybe in an Aqua interface. That's a tool that's worth being done right. The S*L one too.

AGREED!!!

Btw, the v2 versions are also in 44.1 kHz. Does 44.1 use less ram and cpu usage than 96.0 version when used in a 44.1 project?

Not while running the project. The 96khz Nebula data is resampled to 44.1 _on loading_, and from that moment on is just like a 44.1 program.

So it saves time _on loading_, not while running or using the project.

Maybe it saves a bit on RAM to use native 44.1 programs but I'm not sure.

A lot of users find it a nicer idea to work with programs which are sampled - or at least processed - in 44.1khz instead of having Nebula resample the data.

So, it saves on _loading_ time primarily, and people might like the sound better of a native 44.1 program.

The new releases, new libraries and v2.0 upgrades, are sampled at 44.1kHz and 96kHz. The 44.1kHz sounds a lot better than any Nebula internal resample process or the library resampled by SRC. Native 44.1kHz preset uses less Ram and CPU load also.

The improvement in sound quality of the new A*I and N**e libraries will leave you with open mouth.

I've been awaiting true 44.1 awesome

- Hi! If I purchase Sidecar81 today, will I receive the V2 update for free then? Or will the update be a set price of 5 € of each library?

Whoa, whoa, whoa... wait just a second there... hold the phone...

You are saying that the programs sound better when used at their native sampling rate?

I was under the impression that there would be no difference if Nebula was to resample to another rate - especially if resampling from 44.1 up to 48 where there should technically be no loss of information whatsoever.

Can you please give a technical reason as to why it would sound better at 44.1?

obviously I'm not alex but consider this general truth: any time you can avoid conversion, you are getting the best fidelity. Plain and simple. Conversion is another process after all. In fairness, the Nebula conversion, comparatively speaking, is indeed really good. The sentiment there is "no difference" is always a bit loaded versus native rate. But it is based on the implicit fact that yes there is a difference with any additional process involved however it is a comparative idea that does involve understanding the quality you get in the compromise of conversion . So all things being equal, no conversion means removing just another process.
This isn't about which rate is better, so consider this as well: working at 44.1 is better to use 44.1. Conversely at 96, it's better at 96...etc
