Well I wont make any apologies for trying to state that that Varimu is NOT
a shit compressor, or, is easily bettered by an avalon or the like. If people are don't take the time to learn how to use this gem or are trying to compress the **** out of their music, then of course you're gonna get crap results. the VM is not a slam bam thankyou mam type compressor, however it seems like people are always asking it to be so.
as for a the GML's top end sounding like' shattering glass', well I'm sure that's up for debate as flocks of the new generation eagerly buy the digital plug in of this classic eq.
I'm pretty sure the countless masters this eq is, and has been used on, don't sound like shattered glass either. It astounds me that peolpe could downgrade either piece of gear. |
Yeah I think you were paying out on that guy. I haven't seen that many GML 8200s in mastering rooms. If you're talking 9500 then you have a better case but it still doesn't change my opinion that it too would be a fine accompaniment to the 8200 as a boat anchor. Surely an expensive one but nonetheless a worthy one.
Judging by your defensive reaction I can only assume you own one?
Funny isn't it that one half of the genius behind Sontec, a REAL mastering eq couldn't follow up with an equal or better eq.
As far as your plug-in argument goes, people who think they are getting the real deal in software are misguided and foolish even if it is a GML.
Yeah I'm in a fighting mood so bring it on girl dog.
