- #1 - Ian Pooley - Hands-On - Karacter - Culture Vulture SE - Analog Heat - VSM-2
Ian Pooley takes his turn on a selection of unique sounding saturation & distortion devices:
- Elysia Karacter 0:20
- Thermionic Culture Vulture Special Edition 1:53
- Elektron Analog Heat 3:54
- Vertigo VSM-2 6:25
A big thank you to the manufacturers as well as Apke Tontechnik and DA-X Digital Audio Networx for lending out the gear.
All processed signals have been recorded with an Universal Audio Apollo 8 in 48 Khz 24bit, except the signal of the Elektron Analog Heat has been recorded directly via Overbridge/USB in 48khz 24bit.
Ian Pooley - a living legend !! The absolutly Master !!
What if videos like this replaced product names with their price. Guys just say: "I just loved $7,200. To my ear, it's got something special that $800 lacks, though $800 is pretty nice itself. Frankly, I was expecting more from $2,400." 😄
Haha good way to look at it!
Vertigo sounds incredible. I'll swap my car for one and will go eco-friendly. Mother nature would approve, I'm sure.
You're so right :) Mother nature want you to have rollerblades, cassette player and recorder + Vertigo of course
Advice for folks. Behringer synths.
They all have external in so you can use them as filter modules not just synths
I saw that paranoid london run their drums often through a korg ms20 filter so i got the ks20 by behringer and run my drum machine through the drive circuit . Sounds fantastic .
So you get a great cheap bass synth but also access to an abalog filter circuit for colour and saturation of other instruments using the external in. I also send my bass vst from ableton and through the filter circuit on my pro 1. Much cheaper ways to get analogue vibe on your tracks tgan using dedicated distortion / warming units etc
The Karacter and Culture Vulture were really good!
It’s like a fight between boxers in different weight classes!
Vertigo VSM-2 has no equal, period. Well worth the money if consider all that it does and how well it does it.
Ive spent two hours in a shop playing with AH, plus watched too many demos. I want to love it, but it just doesn't sing to me. I think Elysia is next closest in my price range to give my ideas some sparkle and I love the sparkle it gives! One lotto win and a Vertigo... the Vertigo sound is just sensational!
That's exactly the conclusion I came to as well. Not bad, but in that demo, After the Vulture, I quickly jumped from the Vertigo to the Heat, and... it wasn't good. Heat sounds like a plugin. A good plug in, but not sure it's worth the cost. It's just lacking the dynamics and detail. Start saving!
Fantastic first video! more please! keep up the good work!
I really enjoyed this video. Great sounds as well ian . Much love and respect from Chicago
Ians face when his track passed through the vertigo is priceless.
Hahaha yes, too good
its bedazzling with what ease the vsm smokes them all.
Vertigo VSM-2 is the GOAT
Complex material. The more complex it gets, the more difficult it is to add saturation/distortion without issue. They’d all be pretty close if dealing with single source sounds, but a full mix… you need some $$$ for the classy sound if you wanna had some flavour.
Inspiring and calming music, lovely!
Vertigo VSM-2 and Elektron Heat - good choice!
Culture Vulture was head and shoulders above. The others weren’t as complex, the presence and grit just weren’t there in the same way. When I want distortion, that’s what I’m looking for, the little fluctuations too, I want some jagged edges. The Elektron sounded the worst to me by far, the Elysia didn’t go far enough and the Vertigo seemed nice overall but also glossier than the Vulture.
1. Vulture
2. Vertigo
3. Elysia
4. Elektron
Considering the Elektron is 10x cheaper…..
One of my favorites!!!
The Vertigo VSM-2 is £6,750.. For that money it better make sunday dinner and re-decorate the hallway aswell.
I love these videos. Please do more.
I keep coming back haha!
@@Duskmos same!
Thanks for making these videos. Exactly what i needed.
It is lovely you demonstrate the differences of these units with such a nice vibe... That Vertigo is incredible... What price am I stumbling upon?
6k :/
Very useful video! Sold on the CV! Would have loved to have seen the evol fucifier but, ey. Would be great to see the Compressor/filter/multi version of this sick studio
A whole documentary in under 9 minutes
the karacter sounds bloody goood. It gives an edge to everything. Same as the vulture but in a ruffer way.
Vertigo is in another league.
I'm not really fond of the heat tho.. A tad sad but it's not giving compression while the others are ?
thanks for this video. imma listen now
Thanks!
Cool test. Doesn't look like he tried the Triode mode on the CV which seems to be the best for a whole mix, not the P3 which is a sharp boost filter effect. I think partly why the VSM sounded so good was because the Heat was pretty flat before it.
does anyone have more thoughts about the Karacter and Culture Vulture? I'm interested in these units, but after this video I can't tell how these two compare...
i wonder how much the band-limiting has to do with the vsm-2 being great. with some simple pre-emphasis and post-de-emphasis EQ in the computer, maybe a simple tube gainstage would be even better.
VERTIGO smokes them all
How is karachter for tracking? Or is it a mixing tool?
Will there be more videos like this? Please say yes.
Just watched this and own a Heat and owned a CV. The Heat in this instance sounded terrible, The CV is let down by manual L/R adjustment. I thought the VSM2 sounded the best
Are you happy with the Heat? How does it stack up for you?
Elysia for me
is this his prior studio? I follow him on IG and his current studio looks more like a country retreat?
This is someone else's - if you check out the channel there's another comparison with a different artist as well.
Culture Vulture is literally 6db louder than every other demo
Thought he used the mpc 3000 as a centerpiece, I see push and jam looks like he expanded.. Maybe finally found that mpc swing emulation lol.. (wich I found was bs, you can make any groove in ableton just resample the swing and save the groove as a preset)
This isn’t his studio man he’s just doing a demo.
How would the "karacter" compare to the "aphex exciter"?
Are these units for distortion or compression?
yes
What is the name of the track, we are listen to ?
"Mudou (Dub)" by Ian Pooley
analog heat didn't compete with the culture vulture or Vertigo!!
Oh thank you Captain Obvious! If something cost 2x more must be a higher quality product ?
Really, for the money and how versatile it is, I’d say it held its own pretty well.
Do these guys know how to use a bypass button?
I don't think they really know what they are doing
What's a bypass button?
Elysia is the best considering cost. Vertigo you’re paying a shitload more for marginally better
sounds good....8000 dollars....ok...not that good.....
