I got this after seeing a lot of top engineers and even some EDM people use this. And it does work some magic. Super super transparent. Edit: gotta commend you. Usually when im watching plugin reviews, i have questions as the review goes on, you always seem to answer all the question + the extra tid bits like the size apply after re-opening the plugin. All good to know stuff!
Greg Wells of course has a great reputation, so that would help in other engineers to use this plugin. And many thanks for your kind words! I do my best to be as informative as needed :-) Cheers!
Is the transient smearing fixed? Not that it was terrible but it could impact transients in a much bigger way than real tubes do. There were some good A/B audio examples against the hardware in a forum a while back. It does sound really nice on that vocal. Listening on my phone right now so i can't really listen properly. Nice.... acoustica has been cleaning up their aliasing act. I'm not sure about using it on the master bus for material that needs to really pop if transients are still getting a little smeary. On some material It would probably sound great anyway.
Gosh darn and tarnations! Can't you make more videos that make me NOT want to buy things! Actually, I didn't know before now that the El Rey was ultimately inspired by the Fairchild. Hearing it here, it comes through very clearly. It's a sound that I love on pianos and spoken voice - yours included here, as per your demonstration! - so I'll be trying it out while the version 2 introductory price lasts. Now, I have the strangest feeling that I should be using DistroKid...
it's still not finished, it's mainly for videos but I want to upload it to streaming services when it's done. No real plans to do anything else with it and frankly I dont think i can because of the licenses that came with some of the samples in the track I used.
El Rey is a fantastic Compressor for sure, used the original version a lot and am more than pleased about this free Update.
It’s a great sounding tube compressor plugin, and they did address some issues in the previous version.
It's not a Fairchild emulation, they emulated the Ra6 Compressor/Limiter.
yup, read the second line of the video description. I made an oopsie.
@@audiotoolshed no worries. I only know this because I own the Tim Petherick version:)
:-)
i own the nebula 4 version by Tim Petherick its very smooth and suuuper warm
FAIRCHILD should be RCA BA-6A !! I made an oopsie.
Which punishment do I deserve?
Which punishment? How about removing the video and reuploading the corrected version?
Nah that will spoil the fun.
@@audiotoolshed The worst punishment I can think of is subscribing to Waves. ;p
@@Czyszy absolutely hahahaha
Punishment = upload everyday for a week😌

2:49 10 points for the De-Bumpify naming 😄
What i heard was "Tampons for the naming of that one"
Great video! "De-Bumpify" sounds like a Red Hot Chili Peppers song where they say "flibbidy jibbidy" a lot.
Humpify de bumpify

On the master it's all realtive. Usually someone slaps a limiter behind it, and that does some transient murdering normally ;-)
FREE is how you do updates
Ideally, yes please.

Yeah the Fairlight should be RCA BA-6A, i made a mistake there, but its tube for sure.
@@audiotoolshed Right! I missed that in the text! But it's in the same territory. It strengthens and tames in a similar warm way.
That for sure :-)
Hi, Who is this track by? Thanks
By me :-)
@@audiotoolshed is it a finished track I can download/purchase or just for your examples? sounds super cool I'd like to hear more!
it's still not finished, it's mainly for videos but I want to upload it to streaming services when it's done.

@@audiotoolshed cool! well if you do release it somehow at least make a short vid about it so I can get a heads-up about it
Thanks for what you do!
Good idea. Can make a sort of tutorial of it.
Sorry, but El Ray is not a Fairchild Emulation. Its an Emulation of the RCA BA-6A !
As I already corrected!
