- Is the 10X price difference worth it?!? You be the judge! Finally a level matched shootout between the Silver Bullet MKII Hardware vs the Plugin with Electronic Music House Techno & EDM. Hear level matched examples of how this amazing (virtual) processor sounds for electronic music. We have used both on many tracks and the result will surprise you! Enjoy! Collaboration with louderthanliftoff.com/
Track used for this demo: sine-music.lnk.to/eh-paradigm

Both are Bangerz:))
The plugin seems to make things a bit more 'gluggy' in the dynamics, the hardware maintained the dyamnics better IMO, but it could just be settings discrepancy
Great video, I have been eyeing this unit since it first launched but don’t have the budget for it yet. One day I hope to get one ❤
My ears prefered the hardware by far.
Didn't heard this hw or plugin before.
That's because you have dumb ears. I have the hw and the sw by the way.
Why is the stereo field always more dynamic and less flat with hardware? I don’t understand what causes this
That s a great question. Think it might be something to do with L R signals being physically split in the converters to the Hardware...
@@RapidFlow_Shop yep. In future tests, run a D/A-A/D converter loopback before the plugin.
@@RealHomeRecording 🤫 the analog enthusiast will hear the sonic differences are immensely similar. Making the plugin better 🔥
The hardware has that extra 3D analog thing.... But the plugin is very very good. You have the oversampling cranked?
All settings on plugin were shown at the start of the video. No user tweakabls oversampling to my knowledge but not sure what s happening under the hood…
The sides are quieter and middle is louder in the hardware version -- that's pretty much how most analog hardware sounds compared to their plugin counterparts; and this can be offset with some simple mid/side volume adjustments. I would still prefer the hardware version if I could afford one since there seems to be more transient depth and low end.
Thats a really interesting feedback, will experiment with this a bit....
@@RapidFlow_Shop Well, also take into consideration, the audio from your video is being converted to a 160 kbps Opus stream (because of TH-cam) so there is some extra compromise to what I'm hearing. But yes, over the years, I hear analog hardware that way -- more solid/louder center, quieter sides, better transients and depth, than their digital versions. This is only if both versions are very very close to each other, and the differences can be quite minute (tenths of a dB). Sometimes the difference is just obvious the digital version is worse. Note that if both the hardware/digital versions are using widening or is in dual mono (or stereo is unlinked) -- then this becomes harder for me to differentiate between the two. After that, the difference might narrow down to just which has better transients and/or depth. From what I've seen over time, about 66% of listeners prefer the hardware over software when they can hear a good level-matched comparison between the two.
@@Jrel thanks for your interesting comments, I definitely need to wrap my head around mid/side more to fully understand the principle. Work to be done ✔️ 😊
Software sounds a lot better. Great job on the emulation.
???? Better? I didn't experience that! They were closer than I expected though!
@@ramspencer5492 I have the MKI, but the software sounds at least as good, wile offering more options. It's more useful than the hardware.
Or I could be the usual douchebag and say "hardware is a lot more warm, with better transient responde, more 3d and with more width". But that usually means nothing, so I won't do it.
