    This is great really close but the UAD image sounds a little better. Not sure why so many people don't address this but transformer saturation is a major part of the sound image in the (Pultec, Fairchild, Neve, Api, SSL etc.). Kazrog True Iron has emulation of transformers from 6 vintage units & wonder if that would help give this even more Pultec sound? Please don't stop doing this amazing work!

      Thanks Vince! Yeah I wrote a note in the description about adding the Kazrog. I didn’t include it in the chain to keep it all Fabfilter but that’s sitting on my chain and sounds beautiful!

      Yeah, UAD sounds a little bit more open on highs. I'm using Kiive Warmy EP1A V2 - it's amazing

      I don’t have the UAD version, but I do have the Apogee version which many say is better than the the UAD version and I also have the Analog Obsession version which features midsize functionality too. I’ll have to do a comparison. 😊

      @@ЦыхраЦыхра I'm actually not a fan of that one. I believe it's based off of the warm audio pultec clone. To me it sounds noticably worse than my other pultec emulations.

    Btw, if talking about the UAD bass boost, it cannot handle bumps in the infra range frequencies (like in original 909 kicks or d16 Drumazon 2). Or if the input signal has a DC Offset. It will have an aliasing noise, if you put a compressor afterwards (and push it very hard). UAD has confirmed it, but not going to fix it. Just said that I need to put an EQ before their Pultec.

    looks like the sound is smoothly compressed in mono section in the mid bass in uad plugin , thats why the pultec sounds a lil bit more open , anyway thank you for the effort ps i added a compressor to the mono signal with 12db threshold fast attack auto release and i getting more close result but super nice job man congrats , keep going

    Very close, UAD sounds smoother and airier to my ears, maybe it is the saturation type.

    • @pluginhoarder
      @pluginhoarder  3 месяца назад

      Yeah it’s def smoother, I like the lowend better with the Fabfilter Rack and the top end better with UAD. I suggest adding some transformer like the Kazrog True Iron for a closer sound, I wanted to keep it all Fabfilter though! 🙏

    i have hit dislike button because you talked at 1:45 while comparising between bypassed and wet versions.

    • @pluginhoarder
      @pluginhoarder  3 месяца назад

      Sorry about that, I only talked durning this section since the EQ had no bands engaged, the only difference was a 1.2db gain boost. During all of the other comparisons I played them without talking 🙏
