Would you like dead-on analog filter emulations by UA?

[akisd28]

If yes, specify which ones you'd like to see emulated.

If you'd like to see other plugs developed first, please specify which ones.

If no, please specify why.

Happy voting! 8)

Although it is unlikely to happen soon, I'd like them to model some more characterful compressors first.

 

[taylor]

nearly top priority.... but i'd love to see first:

- 1 more EQ with TONS of character... another pultec-type of thing, but different

- tape saturation or tube character plug

Although it is unlikely to happen soon, I'd like them to model some more characterful compressors first.

Even though DBX is still around, I'd love to see a DBX 160VU emulation!

 

[mbarrs]

I voted no, because it wouldn't do anything for the type of music I record (primarily acoustic). Different strokes, etc...

If I could wave a magic wand, I'd like to see UA drop the other foot, and release a companion 2-channel mastering compressor to go with the PEQ. Just a nice, transparent and musical-sounding \"glue\" compressor. And not a multiband, please.

Tape emulation would be cool, but I have yet to see this done ITB where it's really worth messing with. It would not be good for UA's reputation if they tried to pull that off, and it wasn't any better than anything else out there right now.

I put yes but other first

my top 3 dream list is

1. a nice desser

2. Moog insrtument filers and all

3. Neve Eqs

not in any order

 

[electro77]

No, a tape machine instead.

 

[Cabbage]

It is not top priority for me either, but neither was FC, PL or PEQ...

Here's my list:
1. SPL Transient Designer (what a life-saver)
2. DBX160
3. JoeMeek SC2 or some old Altec
4. Clean compressor (Cambridge Dynamics)

I know they're expensive, but both a transient designer and an excellent ultra-clean compressor have already been released by Sony for the Powercore platform.

 

[Gippy]

Well I make mostly house/techno/breaks sort of stuff and would absolutely love to see an analogue modelled filterbank.

Though I've never used one I've heard all too much about the Sherman Filterbank, if UA could nail this particular hardware i'd buy it without thinking.

Whatever the emulation though I think a versatile filterbank would prove popular enough to warrant a release.

 

[baikonour]

yes a filter will be good but some other classic roland hardware would be cool too:

Roland filters: Sh101, Jupiter 8
Stereo phaser PH 830
Vocoder SVC 350
Stereo Flanger SBF 325

etc...

 

[verstaerker]

oh yes an filterbank (like the sherman one) would be awesome!

good suggestion

I vote no - Wouldn´t have any use for that type of plugin.

I would rather have more compressors - even though there are 4 already.
A multiband would be nice. But anything goes. Compressors of all shapes and forms.

 

[geekeye]

my top 3 wishes:

1) an analog sounding multi-mode filter with modulation
2) a clean mastering compressor
3) a analog sounding phaser with modulation

Here's my list:
1. SPL Transient Designer (what a life-saver)
2. DBX160
3. JoeMeek SC2 or some old Altec
4. Clean compressor (Cambridge Dynamics)

I really agree with 4, 1 and 2 (in that order)

I think a filterbank would be nice, but I would rather see some other plugins first...

I would love to see a great tape emulation and possibly another compressor... maybe a \"precision compressor\" with some of the features suggested in one of the earlier threads on this site... here is a quote:

I would love to see a Precision Mastering Compressor. I think it would be great to have something along the lines of the Weiss DS1 MKII v1.3... or even like the Sony Oxford Dynamics plugin. Both of these devices are extremely high quality, and extremely versatile - a bit more versatile than the current crop of compressors available for the UAD-1. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love UA compressors, but something with the capabilities of the above compressors would be wonderful...

What features in particular would be nice?

1) Parallel compression (a method by which the signal is split into two parallel streams - one is then compressed, one is left untouched... the uncompressed stream is delayed to be sample accurate with the compressed stream - they are then recombined. This method is detailed in Bob Katz's book mastering audio - you can also read more about it in the manual for the Weiss DS-1 compressor). This compression is called \"upward compression\" rather than the \"downward compression\" of most typical compressors.

2) In addition to parallel compression, it would be nice to be able to do multi-band (with the ability to solo each band)... at least with a few bands - AND to include parallel compression in this function - to make it possible to perform \"upward compression\" on only the bass frequencies - while leaving the high frequencies untouched.

3) Look ahead functionality to assure against \"overs\" or distortion.

4) Release hold

5) SOFT KNEE - similar to Sony Oxford Dynamics - but even more versatility - selectable curves (to be able to make the curve sharper at the beginning or end, rather than a linear curve. Also, selectable intensity like the Oxford currently has).

6) Expansion capability (upward and downward expansion) - for example, the ability to set the ratio to .93:1, and to select upward or downward expansion - to be tweakable into a gate, or to be used to enhance dynamic response.

7) Extremely flexible ratios - ability to do ratios of 1.02:1, or 1.03:1, etc. Very accurate.

Selectable release time constants (like the DS1).

9) Mid-side capabilities - including for each band of the multi-band! (the ability to compress only the \"mono\" material in the \"lower band\" of the multi-band if we so choose - or maybe to use the plugin as an expander on only the \"stereo\" material while leaving the \"mono\" material untouched).

10) Upsampled processing

Also, ATOR suggested that he prefers to use EQ during parallel compression, so he wouldn't need the feature built in... I think if this compressor had multiband capabilities as well in accordance with #2 above, then that feature could be used an as EQ during parallel compression as ATOR suggested.

A Line6 Pod XT engine for UAD would be cool.

That's what Nigel is (more or less).

Another vote for the Precision Compressor!
