Api 550b nebula version VS Api 550b waves

prosodio · 15th June 2008, 06:50 PM

Hi! I send you this little test, it´s a drum kit mixed with nebula compressors and api eqs. The only difference is that one of the files is mixed with waves api and the other with the api nebula version, the settings are the same, the volumes are the same and, the compressor settings are the same too. Nebula seem to tame the transients in a way very similar to the hardware... hope you like the test.... The nebula compressor are from the retro library: CD Sound Master Mastering Engineer Michael Angel Angel Lofte Studio it has a 1176 with I love for drums...

Nebula Version sounds louder, brighter and more 3D.

I have to add information that prosodio's audio example is using the low latency but limited version of Nebula.
If he had used the "Nebula Reverb" version of the plugin the results would have been even better!

prosodio,

i'm confused about the use of the nebula compressor on this track. Are you saying that both tracks share the same nebula compressor? If I'm not mistaken the retro library doesn't contain an API 2500 equivalent.

BTW, the Nebula one sounds better in my opinion.

api (and neve) programs are available from nebula-programs (the user community)

This is the good one:

Without compressors, only waves and nebula api:
