Buy the rumour...sell the news. Interesting. I feel that there's not much difference between rumour and news. And buying the rumour almost sounds like selling the sizzle. Not the steak. Some of you probably spell rumour, "rumor". Deal with it.
I've tried the demo and really like what it does to put things "in the pocket" for lack of a better term but being the way I am I just gotta know how it's doing it, this video sheds some light but I have a couple questions: At what level of gain reduction does the frequency-dependent compressor morph into limiting? (Does that just mean switch to infinite ratio beside the attack and release times you mentioned) What are the attack and release times before it morphs into a limiter? How much gain reduction is it doing to the frequencies below 5.7k on average with the input meters lighting up about halfway on a balanced mix with the Serban settings for example? Would you consider adding metering for the different modules so we can see how it's affecting the signal at different stages?
I'm no professional, so I tried SO hard to resist but ... ,when you find the right settings, it just makes sounds glow, especially the low end on drums, ... and synths, and basses, and mixbuses, and .... , lol.
Test driving this lil red corvette at the moment, and I have to say, me likey. I freestyled a bit before going to the presets, which are very good, in my opinion. Everything he is saying is what I discovered, just tinkering... wasn't concerned about the signal flow, but I quickly discovered that the input, drive, and output performed some sort of ballet. One reacts to one another. I currently found a home for it post fader after a clipper and limter( pre-fader ). The sound it produced was amazing, with little volume boost, just MOJO! Still tinkering, so... don't qoute boy, cuz I ain't said shit!
I’ve been watching all the videos crapping on this plugin and the one thing no one says is that it sounds bad. Most of them didn’t even seem to use it in a real mix. They just use plugin doctor and try to null the presets with free plugins. Idk. It sounds good and it’s wuick. Just what a working engineer wants.
@@davidasher22 Hey David! Thank you so much, we really appreciate the kind words and we feel the same as well. It’s fast and easy to use as well as sounding great.
control-shift on input or or output gives inverse linking. That said, it is broken in Pro Tools in the current build. It will be fixed for the next update.
I think I should buy this... Heard about it today for the first time, checked a couple reviews, read some pages on the Serban gearspace thread and this looks almost to good to be true. No difference in A/B tests with the hardware. Lets test this thing out!
It has been in development since February. As far as how much they were using it I cannot say outside of that I know it was being utilized for some of the specific use cases they were needing it for. 96K and Atmos
A cool update would be a mix knob and a link knob for the input/output or better yet a separate knob that simply acts as a linked knob without the keycommand
@@makebelievestudio i don’t do much: just a little drive, a little HF Adjust (for bringing up cymbals) and setting the tape to green light brings me a nice omph to the kick and glues all together. cheers
The original unit has two 66Mhz Motorala DSP chips inside. It's completely digital. Does this plug-in incorporate a 1:1 model transfer from the hardware?

Hey Rick I was wondering if you have any videos or info about that mod. I would love to try it, do you need to change anything on the cabinet? Thanks for your responses 🙏🏼
No. Not at all. The core dsp comes from our library that we have been building up for the better part of 27 years. But that doesn't mean that you could make MixHead with what is available in, say, our +DSP graph which exposes most of that library as building blocks. There is unique processing in MixHead. You know, when you use an analog device that is built from components that have been around for 100 years (in the case of tubes) or 80 years (in the case of transistors), does that mean that the new design is the "old stuff"? Of course not.
I requested the trial which you kindly sent me, but then I see it's iLok, I didn't download the trial. Anything that requires multiple plugins to run is not okay, it takes up space...
When Rick talks, you listen. Awesome video, even cooler plugin. Am loving using it so far,
Thanks so much dude we appreciate that!
This plugin is unbelievable. You guys really crushed it!
Thank you so much we 🫶make pop music!!!
Well ever since Colin showed it on NTM I've been waiting to use it. Great work guys!
Same same Same 😅

Hear great things about this, looking forward to trying!! Great video!!
Hope you enjoy it!

day 5 of demo im buying. nothing like it out there hope you have fun in your lamborgini after this one you mad man.
What is the reasoning behind stacking the two gain controls? Wouldn't one gain control do the trick then?
Its how the original was designed.
Fantastic plug-in - loving it so far. Any chance we can get in/out linking or gain compensation for quick a/bs?

@@MetricHaloAudio awesome! Thank you! I almost dirty deleted cause I saw that in the help tips.

Let us know what you think!!
Thank you so much everyone! Sale ends on JUNE 15TH 2024
Can you elaborate on how Serban used this in his signal chain? And why he used it in that particular order?
You can find that info around page 216 of the Serban - Itb? Thread on gear space!
@@makebelievestudio tysm
Fantastic breakdown!

The reminder about polishing turds on the desk! 😄
Amazing!!! What an amazing box 🟥🟥🟥
How long has this plugin been in development for? Was Mixstar already using and testing it out while you were developing it?
It has been in development since February. As far as how much they were using it I cannot say outside of that I know it was being utilized for some of the specific use cases they were needing it for. 96K and Atmos
i just used the plugin and im blown away. it made the sound expensive
@@caincain3640 thank you so much!!
Great Vid Rick! 😃
Any chance this could be incorporated into the Mix FX engine in Studio One like how Softube Tape is?
A cool update would be a mix knob and a link knob for the input/output or better yet a separate knob that simply acts as a linked knob without the keycommand
love it on my drum bus!
@@felixdorn21 Thank you so much! How are you using it on your drum bus?!
@@makebelievestudio i don’t do much: just a little drive, a little HF Adjust (for bringing up cymbals) and setting the tape to green light brings me a nice omph to the kick and glues all together. cheers
I am so convinced with this plugin - actually everything that MB x Metric Halo puts out. I just dont have the $$$ to buy this hahahaha
The original unit has two 66Mhz Motorala DSP chips inside. It's completely digital. Does this plug-in incorporate a 1:1 model transfer from the hardware?
The plugin is not a 1:1 port but a remake of the code the OG code only goes up to 48k this will go up to 192

What are the drivers on those make believe monitors?
Soundscan pro ac studio 100 woofers. The good ones
Are those ns10? I’m super confused. Can I change my ns10/ with proac drivers?
@@romanx3267 They are ns-10's. Yes you can and they sound great.
@@makebelievestudio o wow that’s incredible. Thanks. I love the plugin I’m glad you explained the way it works

“It doesn’t have a threshold, you drive INTO the box.” Wtf does that mean?
@@jayjones2821 there isn’t an adjustable threshold. So you have to push into it with the input gain to have it react to the saturation and limiter
“Doesn’t have a threshold” is wild
Ooh. Send it to me! :) LOL

So it’s basically old stuff in the metric halo plugin sold as the new sh*** 😮
No. Not at all. The core dsp comes from our library that we have been building up for the better part of 27 years.

@@MetricHaloAudioGreat analogy! I might have to borrow that on occasion.
Basically a waveshaper
…did you watch it? Or use it? You can hear it doing everything described in this video which is very much not basically a waveshaper
Nope.
@@trojan16 Maybe you should watch Paul Third's video as soon as it comes out. And yes, I also bought it as soon as it came out
No this is incorrect.
