API Channel Strip Shoot Out | KIT BBA5 vs Universal Audio Vision

[@kobitimmons7874]

Great video, I like the Kit API I can freely do so much more with that top end being so open on my mixes.

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Thanks for watching!

[@SevenSinsChoppers]

You have the master button engaged on the KIT. Doesn’t that put the plugin into the mastering bus style mode? Doesn’t this change the A5 sound a bit for a slightly compressed more subtle sound? I wish they would have kept the API style buttons.

I'll have go back and watch the video. Thnaks

[@martijnvandongen]

I thought I preferred the KIT Plugins but it's clear I prefer the UAD version :). Thanks for the comparison!

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Thanks for watching!

[@SevenSinsChoppers]

I wish the A5 would give you the option to use the API style knobs as the original plugin had that is in this video. I use both plugins. Both sound great.

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

That would be cool!

[@amazeus1980]

Lindel 50 is also APi strip?

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

No Idea

[@franciscopacobarreras9270]

It is

[@agoogleuser7832]

Instead of using the UAD to have the 'Finished' Sound (and I love my UAD API Vision Strip)......Instead use the Lindell50 API Channel strip to have the 'Swedished' Sound!😁
Anyway, I think the KIT might have a more slight open transparent HI End however, the UAD takes it in the low and slightly more forward category...at least on my Mackie HR824 and Tannoy 5 Gold. I have to hook up my NS10M and give it a listen. If it were a price of maybe $49 USD I might consider the KIT but not at $149.
Too much competition. Which leads me to wonder how the UAD Compares with the Softube 'American Class 'A' Channel'
Thanks for another GREAT video!

Thanks for watching1

[@marksaxon]

The BB lacks the mids too. Throw on top of that, the UAD strip has dynamics making it the better one. Each to their own.

Thanks for watching

I would like to remind you that by default, the kit has a bell shape for high and low frequencies. Only when the small button next to it is lit and turns green is the shelf

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Thank you

[@chandlerclement1365]

Thanks for doing this comparison, I’ve been trying to decide between the two! Still not sure I can decide though 😂

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Go demo them for yourself. :)

[@stefanhagel8496]

To me it sounds, as if these plugins were emulated from completely different console types. I personally would prefer the KIT API for THIS type of music. The midrange sound punchier (API like) and has a more lean and tight low end. But that's all a matter of taste. Thank you for the comparison.

Thanks for watching!

[@benbenzon]

try Acustica Audio Salt

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Im not a fan of Acoustica pluings

[@jordibuch]

SALT is not an API emulation. AA API emulation is PINK.

[@Rantila718]

listening to this through my home studio monitors, its a night and day difference IMO...the UA sounds waaaaay better to my ears.

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Great! now you know which one not to purchase for yourself

[@rickski1970]

I initially liked the KIT but in no time it started to feel sterile and bereft of heft. UAD for me.

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Great. Thanks for watching!

[@nocuelatio9798]

UAD is better, period.

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Well, ok then

[@MikeVlcek]

UAD wins for me…

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Thanks for watching!

[@mrmorpheus9707]

Imo...uad wins this 1

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Thanks for watching!

[@pjlira]

UAD has more clarity and definition.
