| I'm not in anyway affiliated with the company. I love it. I'm almost evangelical about it to my friends. I think the some of the EQs are the best computer based EQs I've heard. The combination of the commercial Neb3, cdsoundmasters retro analog suite, and nebula-programs.com downloads are a fantastic value.
For a total of $150. Great support team. Great small company and customer based support.
It doesn't do everything, and there are some criticisms that I take as valid.
What I love:
Struder Tape I, II, III
Doc Fear EQ
Neve 1073 Pre
Neve 1081 Pre
Neve 1073 EQ
Neve Summing Mixer
Needed Improvements:
Compressor Emulation
Preset Management (there are some things people could consider low-end and want to remove)
CPU Resource Killer
All of these improvements are being addressed by the end of the year, including an advanced envelope sampling engine for compressors.
The interface doesn't look like the original unit, and most EQs allow one band per instance of Nebula. I believe this is being address early next year.
The best thing to me in the involvement of people around the world creating libraries and the potential for an ever expanding palette. It feels like a community.
I don't know if the IR tech leaves artifacts like the Liquid Mix. Someone like Peeder would have the skill to test that.
Sound on Sound did a recent unbiased review. I doubt that Acoustic Audio is throwing much advertising money around, so that may be a good source for you. |
