Having talked to Andrew and been in a masterclass with him, can confirm that he uses his omni channel strip on every track. Pretty sure it loads by default on his tracks
This is amaaaazing that Mr Scheps & Waves still working together and brought us Omni Channel 2. One indeed if NOT my Favorite Waves plugins period. Kudos
The original is probably my favorite waves plugin. I am excited about the ability to host 3rd party plugins, it's something I've wanted for a while. I wish you could have multiple inserts, maybe up to two or even four.
Here you go, buddy. Try these two: Waves StudioRack or BlueCat PatchWork. And go as crazy as you want inserting additional StudioRacks or PatchBays into the inserted Studio Rack or PatchWorks. And the PatchWorks will extend your ability to insert any additional 3rd party VST3. FWIW, Scheps2 hosted in StudioRack seems to no longer let you select 3rd Party VST3s, but you can still add most Waves plugins ... but not StudioRack. So your most flexible path if you start with Scheps2 is to get a hold of PatchWorks and then do anything you want. Still, to be able to have a rack full of extra waves plugins by starting with StudioRack, hosting Scheps2 in the first slot and then a collection of effects that you can bypass and call up at will is pretty awesome.
WOW. Waves gave this update for free for all V14 users whether they have WUP or not. Thank you Waves! I had the chance to use it in a mix last night. It's fantastic. I love the crush setting, adjustable resonance, and especially the new compression mode. A great product just got even better.
In most of my tracks your Omni Channel is both my first and last insert. That de-esser finds it way between like 180 Hz and like 500 Hz, perhaps more than the in obvious sibilant frequencies, and that's a complement! If I had to recommend the most useful plugin ever it'd be your Omni Channel.
I'm not interested in buying more third-party plugins but this video features so many incredible mixing tips that I'll be sure to recreate! It sounds amazing.
Dude is awesome. Omni Channel is one of my favorite plugins and is such a powerful tool. Andrew just made it even more incredible with this update. Just downloaded the update and can't wait to give it a go. Thanks Andrew!
This is the best plugin by far I just re purchased Omni 1 I wish I would have known this was coming out If you can think of a sound you can find it with this
Hi there, if you already own Scheps Omni Channel v14 (as a single plugin or in Mercury, Pro Show, or SD7 Pro Show bundles), or have current Waves Update Plan coverage for the plugin or the relevant bundle, you can get Scheps Omni Channel 2 FREE when you update your plugin or bundle license here: www.waves.com/account/get-latest-version If you need to renew your Waves Update Plan, you can renew it here: www.waves.com/account/get-waves-update-plan
Wow, this was unexpected! This is a nice update to the best channel strip. Sadly I just missed the 25% WUP sale but count me in for the next time around.
🦉👍The Grand Master @ work! I've got fonder of the Omni in the past 6 months, particularly for kick drum, snare, vocals and stereo guitars... Works very well in the Studio rack too, in the middle of the various chains. Can't fault it. Looking forward to spanking the crush button✌️😆
I am PUMPED and appreciative of this update to a wonderful plugin. There are other MIXBUS plugins out there that use wonderful emulations of well known gear, but few will be able to compete with this well thought out new Scheps Omni Channel 2. Now, how 'bout a Scheps LA-2A ;-)
I love all his plugins, instead of updating the current ones. Can you get him to make a whole new set of plugins for Waves? This would be a huge incentive for me to sign up for monthly subscription. I actually will if he puts out new plugins with Waves again.
Scheps Omni Channel oversamples beautifully in Reaper! Well... Only 2x (at 44.1/48khz) because the plugin maxes at 96k. Still, that's enough. Come over to the dark side! (Reaper!)
Love this plugin!!! Woulda been even much better if not perfect if yall gave at least 2 or more insert slots and/or the ability to parallel split, somthing like StudioRack... or fuse this plugin with his parallel particles
Did you happen to add an auto gain compensation button to the mic pre sat? When you are wanting to use this on 100 trx independently it’d sure make a difference. It’s the little things.
Did they forget to add a gain control after the saturation ? I remember one of the flaws of the plugin was that he saturation knob affects the level quite dramatically and that it affects the reaction of the compressor afterwards, it also makes A/B-ing more of a pain.
@@ethai1Maybe, but the update was mostly about his channel members and mix reviews. His videos are scripted, members videos and reviews are unscripted and more personal.
The question I would like to ask, as extra distortion has been added, is, has oversampling been implemented? It is sadly lacking from most waves plugins.
You're not wrong, but it's 2023 and any decent DAW should handle that internally. Scheps Omni Channel oversamples beautifully in Reaper. Come over to the dark side! :-)
@@CyanideLovesong well I do have metaplugin, which will allow me to oversample, but a channel strip plugin is likely to be used a lot in a session so it’s not exactly a great way of doing it. I use logic and protools, still running Mojave so even if daw is updated to include O/S it’s no go. Also the max sample rate for the plugin, limits the O/S somebody said 96Khz which is deffo not enough for heavy distortion. No chance of me moving to reaper.
After updating Waves Central I pulled up a session in Reaper where I had two instances of the original SOC and the original wouldn't load. I had to put the SOC2 on and re-do the settings from memory. *sigh*
Sir could you do a demo using omni-channel on a sample-based hop track i use the omni-channel method using stock plugins in Ableton live it sounds pretty good thank you
@@fuserproducer That's a weird conclusion to draw, I'm not endorsing any company. I just wouldn't call update summarized under two minutes as being "insane".
Congrats, i have the original version (V 9.2) , what are the options to upgrade to Omni 2 ? is the best way to upgrade the original to V14 and ill get the SOC 2 ?

I have and use a lot of Waves plugins, but if you're actually unsure, it's because of their upgrade program trickling in features for money, and then they suddenly removed the ability to buy plugins at all and briefly replaced it with a subscription only model, until the backlash got so big that they reversed the decision. So people don't trust them.
Their plugins are mostly pretty standard offerings these days. Some are good, some have barely been updated since 2004. Sure, there is some "bandwagoning" when it comes to the blowback in the comments after their braindead subscription-only update plan a few months back, but I wouldn't say Waves is the "best ever" either.
@@jorgemartinez42069 lol 2004 i see what you're sayin ,but you know what they say though the older the berry, sweeter the juice! who else does multi-band splits, macros etc. if people knew the power and how to use them they would the understand and not complain! !aside from analog, I have all the plugs you can think of and and i always come back to waves! and not to mention customer support , at least they have a phone even during pandemic while other hid behind emails! Cheers
Anyone knows how accurate this 'frequency creation' claims about the resonance filter are? I don't mean to be disrespectful, it's just not what I thought it was.
does anybody know how to deactivate a module in the channel and not just bypass, so you can have an optimized overview? I saw this in a attached preset...thx, already!
Hi there, when you instantiate Scheps Omni Channel on a track, all processing modules and all sections within modules are switched off. A module that’s off does not consume any CPU power.
I was excited about this for a second there... then I read Waves' summary of the new features, saw that they have only changed 3 things - of which one is the ability to USE A DIFFERENT PLUG-IN!? Folks this is snake-oil of the highest degree - if you want another plug-in on your chain then add another plug-in, you don't need to pay Waves for the privilege lol! Always makes me smile to see Mr Scheps though...
Hi there, that's part of the Focus mode. Focus mode highlights the go-to controls best suited for the loaded preset. This points your eyes and fingers in the right direction and helps you learn how the modules work together.
Why didn't you add some contrasting shades for the GUI, if you went to the trouble to make an updated Omni? The mainly black look is not that easy on the eyes, especially the EQ section. I did quite like the first Omni though, sound-wise, but V12 took forever to load with lots of instances in a Pro Tools session. So I don't use it anymore.
@@BR_READDY225 Of course people care about the gui, especially if it's a plugin like a channel strip you're going to be using on a lot of tracks.

sounds great and scheps is an amazing person. but cmon, 1 new saturation mode, 1 new comp mode, and a 24b filter with res. this is version 1.1 and not 2.0 lmao
Hi there, thank you for reaching out. Scheps Omni Channel 2 supports sample rates up to 96 kHz. This is noted on the Sample Rate support page for the product: www.waves.com/plugins/scheps-omni-channel#tab-tech-specs|tab-sample-rate
What saddens me the most about a lot of the tutorials on any kind of VST plugin on RUclips is that most of the videos are about focusing on aggressive distortion or weird sculpting directions. When in reality those kind of approaches are more for Rock music and not the rest of the other tons of music genres from around the world. In the U.S. alone, there is Jazz, Pop, Ballads, Country, Rap, Trap, Classical, Acoustic, and many other types of music. Yet, on RUclips tutorials focus on music that died in the 90s called Rock. Yes, I know who Andrew is. He is a legend and has worked and works with all the greats. But, come on try using Pop music for a change on one of these DAW tutorials. Not cheesy drums from the 80s for a better perspective.

This is potentially the only channelstrip you will ever need!
Andrew is a living legend. He knows his stuff!
Man Scheps is great! Always great mixes ! Definitely a genius!
Who's here hoping Andrew implemented all of Dan Worrall's suggestions from his Omni Channel v1 review? 😊😊
🤣
Came here to make the exact same comment.
Dan Wirral has major TDS

Love version 2, literally the only channel strip you need.
Love this guy.

Andrew Scheps is king
With third-party VST3 nesting within this plug-in, it's an absolute killer. Wow.
It would be great to have macro controls for the third party plug-ins. Having to open a plug-in window breaks the workflow of a channel strip.

So host Sheps in Waves StudioRack and build your own.
This is the best plugin by far I just re purchased Omni 1 I wish I would have known this was coming out

One of my favorite plugins. It has that fantastic analog sound.
Great channel strip and the new features are on point! Would love a UI update on the next version.

Swap close for hold on the gate, and add a out volume control on the preamp section, and you'd have me truly excited. Great plugin nontheless.

But it looks like they missed the mark on OVERSAMPLING options
Scheps Omni Channel oversamples beautifully in Reaper! Well... Only 2x (at 44.1/48khz) because the plugin maxes at 96k. Still, that's enough. Come over to the dark side! (Reaper!)
Does this finally have over-sampling?

The vu meter alone in this plugin is so sexy
Missed opportunity to add oversampling options.
Waves, please add autogain and oversampling!!
Did you happen to add an auto gain compensation button to the mic pre sat? When you are wanting to use this on 100 trx independently it’d sure make a difference. It’s the little things.
17:43 my dude was scrolling down with fear
😂😂😂
Probably when he realised «Plugin Alliance» was on that list Wave’s biggest rival 😂
@8:19 "I call it good" 🤟
Did they forget to add a gain control after the saturation ? I remember one of the flaws of the plugin was that he saturation knob affects the level quite dramatically and that it affects the reaction of the compressor afterwards, it also makes A/B-ing more of a pain.
Looks like they did. Guess we’ll need an Omni Channel 3. I wouldn’t complain.
As long as it doesn't use more CPU than the first version, it could be a good update.
3rd party plus new sub harmonics like crush with new octaves including 4 compressor choices..its going to suck the shit out of the cpu lol
It now goes to eleven
need a dan worrall vid on this lol
True
He has already made video about Scheps Omni Channel. There isn't that much to say about the update.
Looks like they improved the plugin based on some of Dan's suggestions!!
Considering Dan's last update I doubt it'll be anytime soon

Still no gain after the saturation to allow for gain-matched A/B testing; and still no oversampling to improve aliasing from the saturation.
