I like your reviews a lot. The enthousiasm is wonderful to see and even your hand signs are instructive. Besides you really learn us to listen, "You hear that? Shelving EQ". I just bought this EQ and this review made me very happy about it!
Been waiting on this. I only just discovered AA Scarlet4 Classic and it became my favorite mastering eq. I knew this Soma was on the way so I’d been getting excited as hell. There is a ‘depth’ 3D factor w/ the Scarlet 4 Classic that amazes me (it is a curiously absent quality on the ‘home brew’ and their Ivory) along with the Scarlets curves, too - so this Soma is gonna get put against it. I can’t wait!!
@@DomSigalas oh I did it was amazing. Just turning it on was magical. I was hype from the starting of the download. And after turning it on I just couldn't believe it is that good. So good! I need to get the preset folder so I can see all the starting points but to be honest sometimes it's solid right from the starting point. Mine didn't show up when I downloaded it is empty so I'm trying to have PA send me it so I can manually add to my vst folder.
I owned a Soma for about six years before I sold it. PA got the dry character of the boxtone to some degree. But the real unit is a bit cleaner and not as woofy as in these demo videos. Also, I agree with the comment about how it handles transients. Its an amazing eq but its one where you would want others because it doesn't work on all material. But its just another plugin at the end of the day. That's what they all are, whether pure digital or emulation. Just plugins. I'm okay with it. I have the sub so I'll be able to get it and use it if needed. Still rolling with my Sontec and 5500.
Really great explanation on this. Very insightful on the passive EQ stuff. It's like a silky waterfall EQ! Plugin Alliance seem to have come up with something pretty amazing
if you knew how honest i am about everything you would appriciate this .... this song is INCREDIBLE!. I COULD listen to her voice all day long .... wow wow .. wow ... release this song!
Please release the song soon! And BtW you picked a very nice copyright free piece of music! And the song sounds quite complete to me! THanks en keep up the nice videos!
Dom you are a beast!!! I love your work and you have done a great review as always... i will add this plug to my collection for sure!! p.s. when i heard this song again i was ready to ask you where i can find it .... please release it..!!!
Hey Dom! Sorry for asking an off topic question but can you suggest me the best way to connect my moxf with cubase elements 11 for live sequencing so that I can use both VSTi and moxf presets simultaneously? Please reply!
This everything I wanted the SPL Passif to be but it was not (except maybe the low end.) Great review, you sold the product, and the moment which I've waited for has now come - so off to Plugin-Alliance where I can now get this for $75!! Woopy-doopy!
Hi thanks a lot for the video, yes, great plugin and it is a joy watching you having fun with. Please, can you say what Earphone are those? I did not understand when you mention them, please, name and model of ot, many greetings from Germany!
Oh wow Wow WOW!!! Sounds flipping gorgeous! Definitely going to get the plugin version from Plugin Alliance. (PS - I do love all those tracks you use too - will try to be patient until the time you can make them available! ;)
I compared it against the Azure2 EQ from Acustica Audio (which is the Soma EQ of Zirko Mikorey) and the AA Eq wins all the time, It has an analog feel and 3D depth that this digital sounding version from bx is lacking, unfortunately. Especially when boosting the highs, the curves of the bx eq tend to affect the midrange in an unpleasant way.
You can't expect PA to compare to AA in sound quality, but they are easier to install and use, cheaper, and you can run a lot more in a session. For this plugin and mixbus/mastering, AA worth it.
When you solo the MS information on both tracks the left and right are almost completely out of phase to each other. They almost completely cancel in mono. Don't know if this is an issue in the plugin or somewhere else in your chain.
Before you buy it, test it out against Azure 2 by Acustica audio which is made from samples of Zinu Mikoreys own soma Knif , you can trial them both and see which you prefer , azure 2 uses actual samples of the hardwares curves
@@DomSigalas Thanks. I see you have a video on it, I'll have to watch it later. Also I was wondering; I know there is a way to view the latency for each channel in the MixConsole, but is there a way in Cubase we can tell how CPU intensive a plugin is..? Thanks again.
Not to take away from this EQ, or your excitement about it.... but man, if I watch one more video about a software EQ that, at most, is 2% better than the best one I have, and say, 10% better than the worst one, I think I just might explode. Hey, just tell me what the very best software EQ is, that EXACTLY emulates the best hardware unit there is. I'll buy that one, and use that one exclusively on every track.
I love how visibly happy you are showing off this awesome EQ!

Now it seems that this eq is the only one that brings life to the mixes. We never could do it before. Wow.
Just got mine today thanks to the Plugin Alliance summer sale. Loving it so far. Great video as always Dom!
Sounds so lovely 🎼🎵🔥🤟🏼💯. Thanks as always Dom 🙏🏼💙
Maravilhoso esses plugins da Plugin Alliance. Tenho vários e amo cada um deles!
Bro your celebration o how great these plugins sound is amazing😆
So much fun watching your vid, Dom. Will give the Soma a try.

Acustica has their own Knif clone that’s been out for a while if you wanna check it - Azure 2

I bought it last week. So good!
Thank you for you wonderful video. You are awesome!
Magnifico EQ !!! excelenete review, desde que salio lo compré y no me equivoque, Gracias por tus consejos. Saludos
I just get so happy listening to your song when you run it through stuff.
Dom, have you spent time with the Knifonium synth? I love the pure quality sounds I can get. Maybe another review item?
if you knew how honest i am about everything you would appriciate this .... this song is INCREDIBLE!.
I COULD listen to her voice all day long .... wow wow .. wow ... release this song!
Been waiting for this to be released for like 2 years! SO GOOD
Men, you are so positive in this video that I have to buy this plugin :D
What is the difference to bx digital V3? How big is the difference in terms of sound characteristic and quality?
I can’t believe I missed your premiere! Please, keep Friday premieres. Great video, Dom! 👏🏻
Dios mios, I enjoy it together with you, this plugin sounds incredible! 🙃
Great video, always enjoy the energy you bring in your videos Dom. That thing sounded great!
Wow so happy to see this! I've been wanting exactly this also, so happy I subscribe to plugin alliance to get this
Please release the song soon! And BtW you picked a very nice copyright free piece of music! And the song sounds quite complete to me! THanks en keep up the nice videos!
Hey Dom! What you think about a edm- mastering video from scratch only using cubase stock plugins? Grtz :))
Nice video demo. Thanks.
Dom you are a beast!!! I love your work and you have done a great review as always... i will add this plug to my collection for sure!! p.s. when i heard this song again i was ready to ask you where i can find it .... please release it..!!!
How does it compare to the Amek mastering EQ?
Thank you sir. 👍
I'm late to the party, but this EQ sounds HUGE and still super clean! It's $50 on PA today 🤣💸
yip sounds like the acustica stuff too me, that sweet crisp top, closet thing to sweet ol tape eq those hi hats
can i get the track you play? is it available in spotify? whats the name ... her voice is just amazing ...
Hey Dom! Sorry for asking an off topic question but can you suggest me the best way to connect my moxf with cubase elements 11 for live sequencing so that I can use both VSTi and moxf presets simultaneously? Please reply!
The song is FLAMES!!!!

SPL passive is the best for low end you are right! Also you are right that the upper midi and highs are not that great. Funny eh ....
good music!

It’s the Audeze LCD-X s :)
@@DomSigalas Thank you very much, good day to you
Best mastering EQ in the game. Hands down.
How many mastering EQ's did you lay your hands on to make such a bold and slightly ridiculous statement.
You are going to release it !!! HOOOOORAY !!!!! Ok , you promised.
Thank you for Sharing !, is there some auto gain processing working on the plugin ???
I like the track as well
Amazing plug-in
Oh wow Wow WOW!!! Sounds flipping gorgeous! Definitely going to get the plugin version from Plugin Alliance. (PS - I do love all those tracks you use too - will try to be patient until the time you can make them available! ;)
This song is fucking good. Hope you release it soon. Really want to listen to it entirely. Cheers Dom!!!

I compare AA version too…. AA is better
@@ezrashanti yeah, you are absolutely right. Just wanted to inform people that there is an alternative.
@@ezrashanti PA is cheaper ? Soma is 250$ and Azure is less than 200$, but you're right AA is not possible for mixing, too heavy
@@surgicalaudio8829 Well with a good deal PA is 15/mo for all.
I use that one the Masterbus, and before I bonce it, i replace it with Acustica Azure 2.
Its good on stems too
whats the name of Song????? its dope.....the full arrangement transported me to 90s HIT POP era
I need to get you one of our new Trackballs
I would like to know the placebo effect with this EQ instead for example Kirchoff
was comparing it to the SPL PQ, the SPL sounds really muffled vs this one.
How does it compare to bax eq? Should I still get soma if I already have dangerous bax eq?
Hey do you have a Cubase masterclass?
song ID please! I hear it in these videos but Shazam can't find. Thank you!
When you solo the MS information on both tracks the left and right are almost completely out of phase to each other. They almost completely cancel in mono. Don't know if this is an issue in the plugin or somewhere else in your chain.
its like a manley whit out transformers
🔥🔥🔥✨✨✨
I can't afford the hardware. But I'm very hype to get my hands on the plugin alliance plugin version that should be out any day.

@@joshsmith7812 thank you however this has been added to mix & master bundle at no extra cost.
Dom Sigalas - Blessing, Release da tune fam!
Yeah
I need to know what desk you have.
3:30 I must say, her voice sounds alot like Grimes.
Are you aware of any delay plugin where you can set an exact number of repeats..?
Thanks.
Multitap Delay in Cubase ;)
@@DomSigalas Thanks. I see you have a video on it, I'll have to watch it later.

Well Hello Gorgeous!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I don’t understand a word you’re sayin but it sounds great !
that's the point! :)
what is the name off this song?
Looks like it's only available as part of a subscription, so nope.
It’ll be available for sale separately starting February 1st (I suspect it will start off very expensive though)
Just bought it on sell separately for $30 !

I think you sum um it all up...TH-camrs making money on products, rather than actual music.... Yappedeeyappedeeyapedeeyap!
Honestly I just use stock EQ's over 95% of the time, there just isn't a lot of point in having lots of eq's
How much is it?
Wait for about 5-6 days....
49.99 with $75 loyalty voucher
ugandan producers where are u
So another brainworx plugin that doesn't sound like the thing it's trying to emulate? 👀
Name of the song and artist please?? :)
Is that top end cramping?
Yes it is =/
