everytime I think I'm gettin close in my mixes to you guys' level of quality i watch something like this and when you play it all for a few seconds I hear all this body and warmth and detail and presence of every instrument and I pick up on some game... keep it lit.. great review
My goodness Matty. That sounds amazing man. Even on small speakers, you really get the bass to hold down the track with the weight. And the small car speakers don’t crap out! How the heck do you get that right ?
mixandmastermysong.com yeah it’s definitely a big deal for a lot of people but acustica plug-ins just sound so so good and in my opinion they’re worth it. Like you said in the video you can always just freeze the tracks. Tried to stay away from acustica plugins for as long as I could but I can’t help myself anymore.
I think these plugins will only become usable when quantum computers become commercial lol... I can't even run 5 instances on my iMac with the highest buffer rate
Dillary Clump I wouldn’t doubt that within 10 years quantum computers WILL become commercial and when they do acustica will probably become the new waves when it comes to the most used brand of plugins. Unless other companies get on the same page. But as of right now yeah most people they will be totally unusable and that’s understandable forsure.
Hey Matty how are you getting acustica audio channelstrip plugins to be the right size in studio one. I just purchased a few and when I open the channelstrip plugins they become way oversized to where I cant even see the bottoms of them. Thanks
I can't tell any difference when you click to turn off the plugin processing - I think you don't wait long enough for the latency delay to kick it - so yeah no help really
Is it possible to have a slave computer with Ethernet, using something like Vienna Ensemble handling all the CPU for FXm leaving the main computer free? (I used to do this with sample libraries before)
I think the only DAW that supports that is Reaper. I have a feeling acustica has some sort of hardware coming out though. I think the Modula that's dropping this year will. I have zero inside info on this though. lol
I use Vienna on a secondary comp when I need to offload acquas from my main gig. It works fine, still on v6 though. Any daws can do that, vienna comes in the form of vsts.

Hey! We all learning! That’s all that matters. As long as you better today than yesterday you are improving! :)
Very true. I still need to hire you for a song or two. What’s your normal turn around time?

My goodness Matty. That sounds amazing man. Even on small speakers, you really get the bass to hold down the track with the weight. And the small car speakers don’t crap out! How the heck do you get that right ?
very solid review. Thanks matty!
Thanks for demoing this out on DRUMS
Would you say it nails the "glue," smearing and compression real tape provides?
The
B
Tapes….MCI Tape and A1
The ATR102
And the C2
Studer 820
Those 3 essential for Mastering
Nice review, thanks for that. I love Taupe and AA.
Cool video man! Thank you for sharing. Btw Acustica trials are always 30 days 😉
Yes they are!
Are you still using Taupe in your workflow?
Lol “the cpu isn’t that bad. Oh wait.... yeah, yeah it’s pretty bad”.
Haha! I got a iMac Pro so I don’t usually check. But I do know that’s a big deal to many users.

Hey Matty, the artist name and song, “Georgia” by Phillip Bates???
Switching the settings yielded major changes in the sound, but your bypass sounded identical each time. What gives?
Im buying it today BLACK FRIDAY SALE!! %35 off!!
Hey Matty how are you getting acustica audio channelstrip plugins to be the right size in studio one. I just purchased a few and when I open the channelstrip plugins they become way oversized to where I cant even see the bottoms of them. Thanks
Nice Matty, thanks!
Where did you get the cheat sheet from for the presets on this plugin ?

@@mixedbymatty Thanks bro !!
I can't tell any difference when you click to turn off the plugin processing - I think you don't wait long enough for the latency delay to kick it - so yeah no help really
Peace Matt. Do you have preset files for sale or for download for the acustica plug ins by chance?
I don’t. Maybe I will make some though.
Do One On Their New SAND 2 !
I use Sand 2 and Taupe Together....Magic.... that's all I can say
Acustica better than UAD?
BY FAR!! Use the 30 trials a see for yourself. I own UAD PCI Octo card and it barely gets used
@@Geedygeedy amazing plugins !! i try the compressor El rey and the taupe
Acustica need a beefy CPU, UAD don't. Have both and be happy :) Excellent plugins from both...
@@zanza_the_rewolverine I have both..
Geedygeedy 👍
Is it possible to have a slave computer with Ethernet, using something like Vienna Ensemble handling all the CPU for FXm leaving the main computer free? (I used to do this with sample libraries before)
I think the only DAW that supports that is Reaper. I have a feeling acustica has some sort of hardware coming out though. I think the Modula that's dropping this year will. I have zero inside info on this though. lol

Do you have any problem with cpu using Acustica Audio plugins?
yeah, it's solvable by upgrading CPU... or freeze tracks.
Dope!!!
"The CPU is not that bad...No it actually is pretty bad." 🤣. Listen, man, with Acustica you gotta print as you go. Well worth the CPU.
Hi Matty, thanks for the video...Please can you give me the unofficial acustica web address?
