As soon as I demo this plungin I copped it right away. What a nice smooth sound and texture
Yeah, instant silk
One of the best Plugin suite from AA. Big love to that italian stuff.
After having demoed a lot of AA plugins, Erin is their best imo. AA's compressors seem to get better with each new release. Unbelievable great results on drum buss, vocals, acoustic instruments and master
I was wary of this one because of some things I read on forums about bugginess but this thing sounds fantastic =0
the compressor is pretty incredible and under appreciated in my opinion. probably because it’s a bit finicky to setup with the sides not linking properly. sidechain filter is a must on anything fast and bass heavy and even with short attack times the envelope of compression is very smooth and classy sounding.
One of AA's best compressors imo, maybe not for every genre, but adds that little extra that makes it sound better
Perfect for ballads. And I used the mid EQ based on your suggestion to warm up 1 master. Thanks!
Use Reaper for Acustica, you can run many more Acustica Audio plugins with Reaper - assuming you have a relatively recent computer.
Thanks for the review. Thinking about picking this up on the release sale - I think I read they're going to push out an update that should improve CPU usage soon too. Good to hear this in action.
The update is out today
Great review Matty, thanks.
sounds great, but i'm having a lot of cloks and dropouts on pro tools (12.8.1) and LPX, i have to change buffer size everytime it freaks audio engine :(
Where are you using the Avalon 747 in your chain? Would be great to see an updated video of your analog setup. Seems like you've added/subtracted a lot over the past couple years.
Another great review. Thank You
Nice track by the way
Acustica plugins being CPU intensive is an understatement.
You’re spitting talking points. If you don’t use Pro Tools, the performance is significantly better. No DAW i use barfs and crashes playback (Bitwig, Reaper, Mixbus). It happens all the time in PT with many different plugins. Part of the criticism for AA plugins is because of ProTools dodgy engine which crashes out pretty frequently with many plugins that are doing serious modeling work. Maybe Avid needs to fix their product… but they won’t because they have a captive audience who are Stockholming so hard they’ll defend it to the death.
Aa stuff is also getting legit less spendy with the new engine, including a new version of this plugin. They’re going through and updating all their stuff with the new engine. Like one update a month.
Damn it sounded good.
They just released an update. But still, those are CPU hogs. You should have pretty power cores to be able to use them all on the same channel. You could chain them, so the load is split over few cores, since all plugins on the same channel must be processed by the same CPU core.
Thanks man! I will have to download the update for sure. I was thinking about thinking about chaining them as well.
@@mixedbymatty In Reaper it's easy with folder tracks. Buffer increase might help too. Cheers
thanks for the headsup. but funny what kind of bugs passed through and werent noticed by QA
Sorry to chime in but could someone explain the process? How do you chain them so their split on different cores?
@@Espresso101 Basically each channel in a daw uses only one core. 99% of the time that's why you have cpu spikes. Cause one channel has a ton of stuff on it and the core can't handle it. So what you can do is create a aux to a aux for example. Put half the plugins on one aux and half on the other aux. That way your taking to load off the cpu
hope that makes sense.
Still one of my go to compressor
titanium too ?
@@MELOPSMUSIC Titanium is my soon to demo again list, haven't got it because already have Purple but want to give it another try
The 50hz boost on the EQ is incredible. The compressor doesn't do much for me though
Song fire
What's your spec I'm thinking about upgrading my intel icore higher I'm on a i5 right now
I'm on a iMac Pro 32 GB or ram. 3.2Ghz 8 core intel xeon w
Brother just grab a AMD Ryzen 3900xt cpu and a good motherboard waaaaaay better than Intel way cheaper better cores more hyperthreadding better for gaming better overall
@@bighousemusic628 good looks highly appreciated it. So you saying I can swap out mother board causebibgot that creation station 400cs from sweetwater. So can geek squad swap these components out or I'm have to find a pc builders. I never put together a whole pc before. But can I still use these chassis and having a newer motherboard well help the situation. Drop links to pc buildings. The motherboard is a 1st gen h170 pro asus
Do some research. Sell your computer and do a new build. It's very easy.
@@ezrashanti I sound 1800 on that pc I shouldn't have to do a whole another build I'm swap out a motherboard and chip can I do that
What do you think Ivory vs Erin for Techno / EDM music?
I tried Ivory and its pretty good. Try them, you have until the 6th of Jan to buy them on sale.
Bro you have inverted ATC :D
says who? They sound better in my room this way. You can use them either way. :) Check the manual.
@@mixedbymatty I have the manual, and have scm25 as well. The only mention in the manual sasy "Monitors with an asymmetric (offset) driver array should be positioned such that the
midrange driver and tweeter are inboard" . YOu can find it on page 3. BTW if sounds better inverted, just place inverted. From what I see from video you are a bit on the wide side of stereo axis correct placement. :D But yeah, i love wide too
But after your review i BlackFridayed Erin and Pink4 :D
