I assume SoniMus is American.. plugins that look like the hardware instead of embracing their digital nature and use all possibilities a digital interface offers as a European always puzzled me... but I understand this is the American way of selling them and the UAD ones 4 ex. (their tape and channel strips in particular) sound terrific so hey. This is 149 dollars.. the UAD strips are around 200 - right now they are on sale at like 80 bucks! - so the point is, is this better than the UAD ones?
All I can say is that I'm a big fan of Sonimus plugins. Like I said, they keep it simple and just focus on analog console emulations, eq's and compressors. I also own UAD plugins (and they are great). Really just comes down to what works for you but I would certainly recommend Sonimus. Smaller company that focuses on quality.
Interesting that you associate the Analog Emulation vs Proudly Digital divide as an American vs European thing. From the Analog era until today we Americans always covet British Consoles EQs etc. (Neve, SSL including the Satson emulation here)
Is there an objective test that shows this is the best?
Wondering what the test criteria is, which plugins have been compared, and how they ranked?
in comparaison with the SSL 4KE what is the best? or the same?
