Produce Like A Pro is a website which features great tips to help the beginning recordist make incredible sounding home recordings on a budget.
What factors do you consider when deciding on new gear to purchase?
The sound and my wallet 🙂
The main factor is how much I "need" a certain plug. The Dynamic EQ I purchased some years ago was my first and thankfully I'm happy with it. If I wasn't I would look out for a new one. Yet, the Acustica plug is more versatile and appears easier to use!
Whether Warren uses it :D Kidding but, honestly, price is a factor. Am I going to get a return on the investment.
The main factor is actually how hard it is for me to me to come up with a fake reason to convince myself that I absolutely need that thing. It should be how disappointed I will be if my music still doesn't sound any better after I spend a lot of money for it. I guess I will never learn.
Price used to be #1 factor. Now my #1 is user friendliness
The punch of the bottom end had me at hello!
The most interesting thing is,that that i use about half of all plugins,that i have. It means,that it is more important to discover the favorite plugins,and use them. On the other handl- the plugins are like spices in the kitchen,- different music,- different spicies.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
@@Producelikeapro Thank You,Warren,for this great plugin review. I love the Acoustica Audio plugins. I really love TAN Compressor, Celestial,Silver,and other pligins. Thank to your review now i have this new plugin and i really wanna test it in my new productions:)
Even if Acustica is heavier on the CPU for me than the other brands I use (Waves, Plugin Alliance etc); there is something to their algorithms and samplings of the hardware that appeals. They have character.
They certainly do. Which is your favourite plugin by Acustica?
@@Producelikeapro their delay unit called Lemon has a sound like no other. Cream for Bass Guitar. The Howie Weinberg mastering plugin is great sounding. All of them do have amazing character.
Waves is more than enough to get pro sounding tracks. So why deal with the cpu
@@Ozfish75 when it comes to sampling algorithm of hardware unit, Acustica eats Waves for breakfast. Which is why in a mix situation I would render or freeze tracks just for the sonic luxury. But Waves and Plugin Alliance are used a lot here in the initial recording.
@@Ozfish75 a lot of pros use Waves.
For anyone getting into Acustica Audio plugins, it's very important to note that the presets window that pops up at the bottom, is like changing the sound of the entire plugin! The reason for that is they sample "Real Gear", so each preset is of a different setting on said gear, or a different piece of gear. So when you change the preset, you'll get an entirely NEW sound many of the times. So with Acustica Audio plugins you really have to go through and learn each preset and what it's strengths and limitations are! Can take a lot of time fore each plugin, but it's equally important to benefit fully from them IMO. And yes they DO sound better than any other plugin, however they do use significantly more CPU than any other plugin, and I really HATE their GUI's, and their customer support is not very good IMO. But they can basically make that analog gear in a plugin format, that's closer than any other plugin I've ever used! Try to use busses if you don't have a HUGE CPU! And if you have 2 computers with 1Nvidia GPU, and another with an AMD GPU, I've read that they are optimized for Nvidia GPU's to offload some of their processing power. Not sure if they still do that, or how well it works(as I read it in an update a few years ago), but it would be interesting to know for sure if this was true.
🤣 I must be so dumb but I don't get the preset stuff ? Isn't that just different settings ? I know they have different preamps choices and stuff, maybe are you talking about that ?
I read the magic word "FREE" and here I'm checking the video out! Seems very cool!
haha! Welcome!
A GREAT synth eq! Often "analog" eq's/compressors reshape synth sounds until they loose their personality IMHO. This only fattens it up, smoothly. My new synth eq from now.
The main factor for me - is to think : how much do i really need this or other plugin/ plugins. Do i just want to upgrade my plugins collection without visible reason,or : if this is the plugin,that i will use in every mix,and its possibilities shows to me: yess!!! This is what i was waiting for in a plugins world!!! Yes,the price matters,but if i really need it- i will buy it. No doubt.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
I love Acustica Plugins, they work so well on various instruments! The team behind creating the plugins is truly doing a great job, thanks for the review!
Couldn't agree more! Thanks Ady!
I produce Drum and Bass and I'm so glad after watching you for a long time, I see someone else using your techniques with the music i make!!! Thank you 🙏
Fantastic! Thanks for sharing
I love Acustica plugins! This one sound pretty good! Yea could be cpu heavy but with Cubase and my AMD 5950x i have no issues loading all plugins i want. Only latency is a problem sometimes but cpu never exceeds 46% but crackling start because latency and buffer size. But then i have to load more plugins than I actually would use.
Thanks for sharing!
Very good to do the review on two different music genres.
Thank you very much. This means a lot.
I have the full suite of Tokyo Dawn plugins and Nova (there is a free version) is a fantastic multiband dynamic eq with every feature you could imagine and personally I would say it's gui is more intuitive than the Jet.
Thanks ever so much for sharing!
I recommend this to everyone who needs a dynamic EQ. It look and feels like the Fabfilter PRO-Q3, but at a much more affordable price, and yeah there is even a free version that would do the job for most people
You'd be saying wrong then because it is its GUI and not it's gui!
talk about transparent sounding. Amazing sounding on my JBL's. I haven't heard of anything else like this before in the plugin market.
Thanks for flagging this, Warren. Very nice.
Thanks ever so much Mark
Sounds WAY smoother and more even than most compressors.
Brilliant!
(I came up under Bruce Swedien. 🤷♂️)
From this video, the plugin sounds great and I am impressed! It is a shame that Acustica requires the installation of their "Aquarius" software to download and install these plugins. Plus, it looks like your DAW needs to be connected to the internet for the plug-ins to work. One of the pre-requisites in the manual says "Fast and reliable internet connection (offline mode is not possible)." We all sometimes lose our internet connection, and to have that happen in the middle of work is frustrating. Plus, it is another external party connecting to your computer and another path for someone to potentially hack your system. That leads me to not even want to try the free versions.
No, no need for your DAW to be connected to the internet. Only during installation you have to be online. And Aquarius is just a download- and installation manager, no need to be afraid of it.
@@ohmcustomguitars5752 and thanks to that Aquarius Acustica plugins a rarely seen on cracked plugin sites..
Aquarius is actually great, keeps things very simple when keeping your plugins up to date
The low end eq got my attention!! 😊❤ I had this video playing in the background and I heard the difference , like WOW!!!
Love this, forcing you to use your ears more than other dynamic eqs. Does a great job! Free! What's not to like?😃
Thanks ever so much!
Love seeing the Betty Davis vinyl back there. 😘👌🏼✊🏼
Thanks T T! You have great taste!
@@Producelikeapro Thank you. Likewise. And still makes me happy, every time I recall you agreeing that Steve Hillage’s album Green is badass.
You don’t want to be in Acustica rabbit hole it’s addicting.
Ha!
Downloaded the free plugin and it sounds great on some material - I fixed a dull vocal in a few seconds! By the way the available presets in the free version is not what you see in the video between 2min 35 sec and 2min 39 secs. That is the full paid version. The free version only has a digital and EMINENCE option... But then again it is free!
Thanks for sharing! Maybe because I had the paid version the free one gets extra presets? Thanks for letting me know
Great plugin! Thank you. I should be able to use it more often after this weekend. Maxing out my RAM should help. Never had to worry about this with Tape or even ADAT.
Agreed! Growing up with tape was lovely! However, even at the best studios I’d be lucky to find a console with more than 4 or so auxiliary sends and maybe three or four reverbs etc. so now we have unlimited amounts of multi effects, compressors, multi band compression, dynamic EQs etc.
@@Producelikeapro Yes sir! I was thinking the other day about how I use to mix with a luxury of 8 busses. I recently did a mix here in Nashville with loads of tracks and had put them through 12 busses. Times are good for mixing and recording.
that first before and after is so nice on the kick, didnt like expansion on snare but the comp was so nice! fun stuff for free
Glad you liked it! It may not have been the sound you wanted to hear on my snare but you can definitely try it out and see what you make of it!
Thx Warren. I'll go for the free version!
Check it out and let me know what you think!
@@Producelikeapro I will!
@@HACKED_TH-cam_ACCOUNT marvellous
Right off the bat, I like these styles of plugins, because they force you to use your ears, instead of looking at a graphical display. I learned that with using plugins, for instance in Reaper the build in EQ looks graphical, but you can put these away and use only your ears. Which is in my opinion a better workflow. Without staring your eyes out.
Marvellous! Indeed, it seems that a lot of people are suggesting an alternative manufacture that may not have. A better sounding plug in, but yes gives them the ability to see over hear. Maybe for beginners they like the ability to see the sound and it can help them.
@@Producelikeapro of course, I started the same way haha :)
Sounds bloomin amazing. Phenomenal tech. Great video cheers
Thanks ever so much Joey
Great great mastering plugin
Thanks for sharing Francesco!
@@Producelikeapro i had the pleasure to beta test it and get a preset with my name. Now it gets used in every mastering session 😉
Thanks!
Thanks Audrey!
Very informing review. If the different variants are as good as they look, they‘re very good. Who wouldn’t like to have them? Well, in any case I go to the „want to win“-Link.
Thanks ever so much
That's so very good. Thanks for this!
Thanks ever so much
I'm not sure if you got it wrong, or if you just stated it in a weird way, but the ones that say "ZL" at the end of them, in AA's vernacular, stand for "zero latency". They are the exact same plug-ins, but use a ton of CPU and provide significantly less latency. (for use w/recording through them instead of mixing onto a dry signal) The free versions have the ZL ones, too. The difference BTW the free and paid versions, and really what is cool about the plug-in, is that they have included convolution sampled eq emulations. The free just has the emulation of the 'Eminence' eq; Eminence is another one of AA's free offerings, so its nothing new there except using it as a dynamic eq. The paid volumes include emulations of different classic eq's that are mostly part of the other AA channel strips and eq's that they sell. Except the Mowtown eq. That's new to them. The video helped me understand the settings a little better, but I would have like to see you adjust the attack/release/threshold/sensitivity buttons and talk about why and when and how to use external sidechaining w/dynamic eq. Especially when mixing vocals and kick/bass. Thanks!
Super bueno amigo, muchas gracias por tu trabajo
I just got Acustica’s nebula 4.5 plug-in and I’m using it for post production mixing and it’s absolutely leagues above everything else in sound quality. The CPU, interfaces, pretty much everything else is leagues worse but hey, if sounds good, it is good!
Best review and explanation yet. Thank you very much.
You are great! Thanks a lot for your channel...one of the best!
Aw schucks! Thanks ever so much
I have an older PC (which isn't Windows 11 compatible to illustrate how old) I have an i5 CPU running Studio One 5. JET MIX one instance no problem, JET however as the ONLY plugin loaded massive CPU hit. I tried JET Mix because I had just been using Plugin Alliance bx_dynEQ V2 today so I thought it would be interesting to compare. I liked the sound of JET MIX but for my poor PC the CPU hit of JET is too much. I have other Acustica Audio plugins e.g. the original Pensado EQ which I hardly use because of the CPU overhead - I'm just not up to playing with the Big Boy toys I guess - I have too many plugins in any case so I won't loose any sleep over missing out on this one but the free Jet Mix I'll probably use again.
Thanks for sharing!
These really do sound good!!
Thanks a lot! Hope you get a lot out of it
All algorithms don't seem to come with the free version though. Two digital algorithms and one sampled. You guys probably have more since you also had the full versions.
the ironic state of the tech though is, this is gonna have to go some to beat Tokyo Dawn's Free Nova EQ
Is that an old pair of Genelec 1029's behind you?
Yes!! Good spot
Love Acustica!! Yes
Thanks! Which is your favourite plugin?
@@Producelikeapro I haven’t tried them all, but I use the Blond eq/console to shape sounds. The Ivory suit for mastering. For the master bus (actually, on every track as well) I use the Verona tube console (London Acustica with N4). There is no better plugin than that, if you want tube.. get Verona! :)
ZL is just a "zero latency" version of the normal plugins
Thanks for explaining. Yes, they have ZL versions of others. Unless you're tracking with EQ, perhaps the non-ZL version is more appropriate. What do you think?
@@Producelikeapro I agree. The issue is the damn cpu load. But they sound magnificent
I think if your 2bus is going to an analog summer then select ZL. but otherwise I suppose just use the other. Also if you use eg. cream comp as side chain comp I like to use ZL also.
@@Producelikeapro well the zl have a quicker response time, but are even heavier on cpu. I guess it depends on your system. But after using Acustica plugins for years i never find i need to use the zl version, but i don't track that much
💯
Free is always good! But wait!? Is anything really free? Great work here, thank you!
haha - good question. It definitely wasn't free for them to create it, haha!
There are a lot of free plugins by Acustica that really sounds great..
@@CharLessMajor7Music marvellous
Thank you, Warren! Really nice review!
WOW, this vocal sounds like Living Color...
Acustica Audio is one of those companies where we have to render the tracks with their plugins first.
So, bye-bye automation changes...
...that's the price.
thx
You’re welcome
Yes Acustica's plugins are CPU hungry, so as many other with high oversampling. But have you guys considered how much does your DAW allow you to harvest the whole potential of your CPU? We expend 100s or even thousands in a CPU/machine only to find out that although the DAW CPU Meters states100%, that isn't the real CPU usage. I did test all the mayor DAWs, and was really surprised with which one can really use the all 8 cores of my i7. I passed from using 5 Acusticas to round 30.
What DAW are you using, I use Reaper and love how light it is on the CPU
That's incredibly interesting! Perhaps we should investigate this further and share our findings.
Tell us more about your daw and how to extend cpu usage
@@Producelikeapro Definitely an area to expand on.
@@Producelikeapro Yes, for sure we can exchange results! I'm now a Reaper user! It claimed the price for the best multicore performance, allowing me to use 100% of my CPU. I was, and still am for some projects a Pro tools user, but I was getting frustrated to get the Dae CPU errors mixing and mastering ITB, just to realize that on the task manager performance meter was at 50/60% max. So I decided to check how where the other Daws doing on the CPU management, tried Cubase, StudioOne, Ableton, Reaper, and Cakewalk. I also tried the demo of PT Ultimate just to be sure that it was not my regular pro tools. The typical benchmark test with a same plugin in 100 channels doesn't really tell the truth, because in a real mix you tend to use many different plugins in a channel, maybe specially in the mix buss. I made the same mixing session to use the same routing and plugins in all daws mentioned. This took me a couple of months by the way. And Reaper took the 1st place.
Great Review You should do more Reviews on Acustica Plugins!!!!!!....hey,,,,,,, does this plugin work in Logic Pro ?
We did a review on their Silver Reverb which is amazing! We should do more - yes!
Acustica plug-ins make my 2010 cheese grater beg for mercy
Haha mine is from 2009!! Finally upgrading soon
This is so helpful! Love this video. I was curious, what do you use for screen sharing for you videos? All your tutorials are so high quality and very helpful. Thanks!
you know for that issue at @24:06 io would just bring the track in to spectral layters and extract it out and any others and be done with it and not have to use a resource for fixing in the mix, Yes?
I love acustica but the cpu load is crazy
just use splitEQ on that guitar finger nz .... 2 secs. done. jet is cool tho. i just stuck it on an archival 2 trk recording ... and started fiddling. WOW. powerful.
I don't mind cpu load if it's using cycles to sound better. I'm all in for some next level processing. Extreme oversampling rates have my attention.
Thanks J C!
A A's strenght is not oversampling, it is overcpuing ha ha
@@danielwetzs9317 Lol. I can't find anyone even mentioning the type/level of oversampling. Personally, it's necessary for digital compression.
Whaou it's great
Thanks ever so much
Georgia Mud by Robert Jon & The Wreck is actually my favourite track from them. Would love to have the multitrack you're using here...
Hey Warren... quick question about your BLUE headphones. I own 3 pairs and one pair of their Ella's. Do you have probelms with ear cups coming a part? I'm wondering if it's a California weather thing but every single one of non-Ella's have completely lost their "faux" leather covering WITHOUT fail. The Ella's are actually leather so they've been lasting. Curious if anyone else has the same issue. Love your channel...
Hi Robert, yes, we've been having that issue too unfortunately!
Thanks for the great content Warren. So, on their website, it looks like I have to buy the paid versions to get the free lighter versions? Is that right or did I miss seeing it?
HI Marcel, you have to download Aquarius for free and then get there free plug ins. The link is below the video, here it is as well:- www.acustica-audio.com/pages/aquarius
I used to be of the mindset that I did not like or rather did not need the graphical interface referencing when using Dyn EQ, {the C6 days from waves} coming from an analog large frame console era, Dating myself here, But then oh around 15 years or so ago I had really started to become not only appreciative of the Graphicle UI while using my ears, so I became pretty much demanding of it for me to consiuder the plug iun for purchase, Except about 8 years ago I started to use Plug-In Dr, I started to realize the far out of range some eq were are from the what the data says 10K and the Dr says OH NO that is 8K so I have come to where I am now and that is liking the graphical reference and then depending on it once I know where it is according to the Dr. so what am I saying in all this? I am missing the graphical reference, would be nice if it was an option to turn it on or not in these.
Hi Warren. Thank you so much for all the Info you share with us . Do you know if the free EQ versions of this are compatible with WIN7 ? I know , I know , I need to upgrade. LoL
Hi Rik, I d0n;t know that unfortunately! Being a Mac guy for music (I do own a lot of PCs, but not for music) I'm not able to clarify
@@Producelikeapro Ok. I think I'll download it and try to see what happens. Thank you for responding so quickly , Warren. I hope you and your family are doing well and staying safe.
@@RikJSmith yes, just try the demo and see!
Just tried it on my M1 Mac Mini 16GB in Logic and it immediately overloads CPU. WAY too heavy if it can’t even run 1 instance. This is the only plug-in that I have tried that killed with a single instance. Crazy! I guess it may have a problem with Logic in Rosetta mode. I’ll try without Rosetta and see.
I had 4 versions of the Free one and one of the ZL on the master bus. This was a pre M1 lap top with 16gb of RAM, however, it was Pro Tools not Logic
@@Producelikeapro thank you for the reply. I’ll check it out non-Rosetta and also via a different DAW and post my results. Thanks again for everything you do. Seriously, My fav channel on the web.
@@Producelikeapro Rosetta was the culprit. It would only use 2 cores of CPU when in Rosetta. Ran it natively and all cores were used and it works fine on the M1 in Logic.
@@AndrewCCM acustica doesn’t recommend running their plugs on rosetta.
Is this one of those new acustica plugins that are not cpu heavy?
Very fantasic plugins but it's unfortunate that you can't instatiate it in every track. Else your workstation will shut down. Too heavy on cpu
Love Acustica stuff, nice to see it on here. Question though: why use this over ProQ3 or Kierhoff?
The Acustica stuff is very much the highest quality, their Reverb we tested before was as close to highest level hardware we’ve ever heard. So it all comes down to how powerful your computer is to how many instances you can use and balancing that out with other products that are less taxing on your cpu but maybe not quite as transparent etc as the Acustica
I hear you. I tend to use Acustica because of the character it imparts..if I want transparency I’m going for linear digital - not Acustica or analog modelled stuff. Multiband expansion and compression are fantastically useful - but up until now have always been function over flavor pursuits. I never thought of spicing up the flavor of a dynamic EQ.
LISA, from Plugin Alliance does a similar thing; its a colored dynamic parallel EQ. Much lighter on the CPU, despite being extremely powerful. I believe it can expand as well.
Seems like the whole package here is very unique; I like it!
And that Acustica Rever - Silver, is a demon from Hell with the CPU but my goodness does it sound beautiful. Wish I could use it all the time
@@Rhuggins I just gt an M1, so I'm really hoping I can use more instances of the Reverb!
What's the secret to download this plugin ? I find nothing on the website.
WTF? I noticed no-one uses a question mark to ask a question anymore - UNLESS it's NOT a question - now every TH-cam title does this. LOL
Haha it is a question! If you watch the video you’ll know it’s not a statement
Dynamic EQ would really throw me if I used it. Feels like there's no point trying to fix things further up the mix if you can use dynamic eq at the end.
That would be the same as believing the master engineer would fix a shitty mix
You definitely need to fix the mix earlier on. The master bus is not for fixing but for finalising.
@@Producelikeapro Where's the line between fixing and finalising a sound though? If you fixed everything you'd never need a dynamic EQ would you?
@@alanredversangel you would use the dynamic EQ on individual parts leading up to the Mix bus
@@alanredversangel Someties you would use a dynamic EQ instead of a normal one. Simply because it can sound much better. An EQ removes everything in the range you want. A dynamic EQ will remove when there is a problem in that range.
I use them to control the peaks on my dynamic range on synths, it makes them sound so much more full since its not removing below a certain dB, but will only activate when needed
How does the M1 handle these plugins
I JUST got one so I'll leet you know!
I would love to use Acustica plugins but I haven’t been able to open one successfully in Logic on the M1 MacBook. They said they updated to App,e silicon but still the same problem. CRASH! Lol. Any advice?
Hopefully their support can help!
Use Logic Native only
The "Heavy" Acustica 😅
Yaahh
Indeed! Ha!
i'm sure you do... but do you use a gate on the drum and snare to isolate the signal more????
It depends on the genre, on a roots rock track like this I’m not into isolating the elements too much
Saying that Acustica plugins are heavy on CPU is an uderstatment, don't expect to use them with virtual instruments, mates. Ticks and craks are in the place even on an honestly well equiped machine, so keep in the audio track/bounced /rendered domain.
Well, I'll try this one but I'm affraid it will not be different of its siblings. 😃
And just for your information, when a pro mixer/masterer says "it's very subtle" usualy you'll hear almost nothing, or nothing when you'ra a rookie . It's normal, don't be afraid. 😄
can we download the plug. The whole having to install Acquarius a to b to get z sounds like a bummer
You have to use Aquarius to installed the JET Player for free.
Do you think you could get the same results using something like FabFilter ProQ3's dynamic eq?
They do the same job but in a different way. Acustica audio stuff have a lot of character, so probably you'll need play with some saturation plugins in combination with it.
It depends what you are trying to achieve :) Different plugins, although they are labelled the same, have different uses.
Acustica is going for QUANTITY over quality. ALL of their plugins I mean ALL are bugged / causing delay, stop playing anytime, when change the preset. They do perfectly well - youtube videos, excellent looking GUI, etc. except the optimizing plugins for using them. I mean who could use more instances of their plugins on mixing? I have massive CPU but it already have enough, maybe on mastering, but all those glitches that it causes, I mean no thanks.. they look BEAUTIFUL, though if nobody have glitches, then I wonder why I got them since I use Windows 10 and have fast and optimized PC.They seem like a total scam to me
Am I missing something or are we still waiting for these multitracks?
Same here. It's Georgia Mud by Robert Jon & The Wreck and i would really love the multitracks.
❤
❤ to you too!
Nice plugin. Acustica Audio stuff is lit but don't believe this is free. You'll pay it with CPU usage 😂
Haha with the quality there is always greater cpu usage unfortunately!
Not if your PC is up to par !!!!!
The JETZL version deosnt work , it just keeps puttin out huge static burst even when your music isnt playing
Works for me. What DAW, OS, Mac or PC?
@@darlenesheffield9835 PC , I use Reason 11 , i downloaded all the free ones, they all work but the jetzl version
Hope their support can help you out but the Zero-Latency version is probably best used when tracking.
So this is the thing: I have 2 Reason licenses: one Reason 10 and one Reason 11.
I purchase an upgrade of Reason 12 to go towards my Reason 10.
As I have always been doing since record, (upgrading the older version).
However Reason would only upgrade my version 11 stealing away my version 10 because they are saying it is in my same account and they do not want to operate like that anymore.
This is unethical and even unlawful. Many years and $$$ investing in this platform and now they act careless with their Lawal customer's..
They have given me a extremely bad experience. I have been Lawal with this software, buying everything legit. And investing on it. I think it's time to leave it behind.
Studio One 5.x - you're welcome.
I just saw the clunky interface and having to fiddle with algorithms and what not and was like '.....aaaaand I'm out' in all productive criticism, who does this in a world where Farbfilter pro Q exists. Esp. When the exact first usecase is one, where I myself at least really DONT want any coloration. I want clear control over what to pull out. I think a lot of plug-in testers like Dan worral and witse point out correctly; the time of the slick interface has come. Analog Interfaces are made for two hands and with completely different constraints. No matter how good it sounds if it needs you to dance a raindance before you get it to work it's just not for me I think.
UI and UX is important, you are right. Different plugins may appeal to different users.
how is it on CPU?
I had four versions of the Free version and one of the paid on the Masterbus. I have 16 gb of RAM. I feel that was probably the max as the session already had a ton of plugins on it. However, if I had started with the Free version on a mix without any plug ins maybe I would have got more?
well, demoed it, but won't use it, g.u.i. is not resizeable and I have plugins that do the job better. Again no investment into Acustica Audio. Video is interesting to watch
Thanks for the feedback
AA are Best sounding plugins with worst gui, tragic workflow, and impossible cpu power.
Wow. Aquarius Acoustica's product line is the most convoluted EVER. Too many products with the same name!! Jet Volume A (tool). Jet Volume B (tool). Tool? What the hell does that mean? Coffee the Pun?? WHAT??? And why so many products? Their products may be fine, but their presentation is crap. Hope they figure out a better way. Not impressed at the moment.
good plugin but computer hog big time
the system requirements are best hidden. why is it not possible to write down , needs this OSx version and that memory for e.g. ? I have no desire to destroy my running system with such installation experiments. maybe the developers read it?
What kind of scam is this? The only way to download the "free" versions is to pay $99!
You can download their product installer, Aquarius. When you install it, you get the JET Player for free.
www.acustica-audio.com/pages/en/aquarius
You should try knowing how their installation works 1st I guess.
Sorry - I can hardly hear the instruments and have to turn your speaking way up.
So the music is too quite and also the speaking? So if they are both quite why don't you just turn your volume up?
