    This is a great review. My experience... I have all of the TC 6000 Native Plugins and 3-System 6000 MKI's and one MKII! All of mine have Mastering, Stereo and Multichannel Reverbs, and the incredible Massenburg HI-Res MDW eq. The Massenburg sounds much better than the plugin I have also. I think TC discontinued the Massenburg for the System 6000. Comparing the plugins to the 6000 hardware, the hardware wins for me. There's a gentleman that has done a comparison like I did and also agrees that the hardware wins. You would not know this unless you have used them both. The Native MD4 does add a couple of other controls but...not enough for me to dump my hardware. Also, the MD4 and VSS4 is a processor hog if you want multiple instances. It's sad that BEHRINGER.... has abandoned the 6000 Hardware development and maybe the plugins too. I've dove deep into my hardware and have come up with some ways to make mine fairly future proof. As far as VSS4 HD Reverb in the hardware it is great. But, I have a Bricastic which totally wins for rooms and vocal reverbs. MD4 for mastering with my hardware unit is a straight up WINNER!! Good review!

    i think it's time for a TC Electronic - VSS4 HD Native Reverb versus Relab - VSR REV6000, and a LiquidSonics - Cinematic Rooms as a runner up maybe. Would be a banger comparison of the most real-life sounding reverbs ITB.

    Ahh! I'm so happy you're bringing attention to these! I found these a couple years ago and kept missing the summer sale. Last summer, I caught it. I bought the whole bundle, which is overkill, but I use md4 with a fixed preset often. It just works and sounds incredible. The reverbs are GREAT. As you say, smooth is the adjective for all the TC electronic stuff. If you catch the sale, you can get "everything" for $695 (if I recall correctly). BTW, that's an AMAZING song....

  • @jamespingel8730
    @jamespingel8730 Год назад +1

    Oh yeah, it's so rare a master needs some reverb. But when it does and you can pull something high quality out of your toolbox to do the job, you'll be glad to have something like this around (I'm an SP2016 man myself). I've mastered probably close to 500 songs at this point and I think I've added reverb on two or three, for reference. And one of those it was automated out, so it was only on the intro before the drop.

    Funnily enough those are some of the least talked about but best tools ever. I almost feel like people wanna keep them a secret! I got all of em and love em. Also the VSS3 is great it's not such a resource hog while still having the classic sound and even more flexibility when it comes to room shapes etc.

    Hello David! Thank you very much for the deep dive in your videos. I’m watching a lot of your episodes. But today you picked very much interesting thread for me - tc electronic stuff… I was recently comparing a quality of compression&limiting up to 8lufs by plugins and tc finalizer… and to my big surprise - Finalizer processed track with a headroom and breath in a sound, and plugins made track squashed…and that made me very curious of what the exact heck is goin on ))) I was literally asking myself if I need to continue investing in other limiters… I do understand that it’s very subjective comparison, but … that outdated box by tc electronic made -8lufs sound very good. And I’m very curious about tc software for mastering, they definitely know about this sphere a lot…😅

These are not cheap plugins, if they are tagging it on the premium side they can't give excuses like mac is terrible this n that. Do others also complain?
