A few words about Tritone plug ins.

[delcosmos]

Hi, after testing the colortone pro, valvetone, and hydratone demo plug ins, Ive decided to buy them all!!

Seriously, I found these plug ins awsome, Ive put hydratone on vocals, acustic guitars and bass and not only fits perfect, it bring life to my digital recordings, some kind of edge, I love the fire-blast feature, the valvetone is very usefull when you have some thin sounds, like those created with a Pod, the "Valve tone' makes them shine and cut,
And the colortone pro sounds great on everything it makes exactly what it's name says, it Color the sound( in a good way ), it's a great concept and I really hopes this guys will continue that great work developing more interesting and usefull tools.

For me, all Tritone and URS (N,S and A) are the only plug ins that makes me think twice about turn it on all my analogue stuff.

Best.

I like it too! I think it adds life and harmonics to the track. Pretty cool. It was hard to match up the levels because it has no Q on the bass. I also clipped the track but you get the idea.

For vocals, I think Hydratone makes a perfect combination with UAD LA2A, I first try this after reading some post from Steven Slate (Bang) and was very happy with the results I got with his tips, If I can remember he use to put a valvetone after 2 LA2A, any way for me, a good ITB vocal chain is Hydratone, La2a some times 2 if Im after CLA sound and deesser.
For acustic guitars, the URS neve is always on my tracks.

very excited about colortone here. i was just finishing mixing an ITB record, when tritone released colortone, and it's amazing how many instances i ended up quickly slathering on these mixes. hope it's as good as i think it is! it feels almost revolutionary. it enables me to get smooth hi's, unique eq curves and overall character that i cant come close to with anything else.

also have been using hydratone for a while and i love it.

I don't know why but the sound of a vocal track recorded through a Geffel UM900-> Chandler -> 1176 ->Hedd 192 and then mixed ITB with Hydratone, UAD LA2A (X2) and waves deesser always put a smile on my face!! I mean the Hydratone was the missing link that I was looking for to get close to a sound that I can only get with analogue gear.

Well I am not Armando but.....

1) I LOVE Colortone Pro and Hydratone, love love love.

2) Can hardly use them on my mixes. They are so freak'n CPU intensive. I can't use them in mono with Samplitude because it shifts everything to the left and no output on the right. In stereo mode I get about 3 instances in a mix and that's it. And my computer is new and rocks.

*Sigh*

I honestly feel that I could ditch all my outboard EQ and use Hydratone all alone and be completely happy if I could just get a few more channels working on my machine.

Hey Michael! sounds good but how come can be so CPU hungry? do u think I will be able to use many on a Mac pro? actually run on a Mac Pro?

Thanks!

I honestly don't know about the Mac business Amiel, it might be better but I think that has more to do with what sample rate you are running at.

As far as why it is so CPU hungry, I belive that Hydratone is convolution software. That means that they "record" each setting on the EQ they are working with and use that for the plug in. Very hard on the CPU but it sounds great. They say that they are working on a less CPU intensive version but I have been hearing that for a while, I guess we will see.

Thanks! I just confirmed that they don't run on Macs with intel processors! to badd but I am sure will be all cool very soon!

mmm... not at all, that was a year ago!!!

I wrote those words before I got my Pultec EQP1a but...
Im still using Colortone pro a lot!!!
A cool trick is to use any sterile delay plug in through the colortone with it's spacey echo preset and it sounds amazing!!!

So sad they haven't upgraded to Intel.

Im still on 10.3.9!!!!

Best regards.

Hydratone's the ****ing shit. Pardon my french.

People don't believe me, as they haven't heard of tritone. But it is.

So is colourtone. I've not tried the other plugs - i'm looking forward to the compressor...

I think Damon and Savator, the guys who make these plugs, both have intel machines as their main machines, to a universal binary/intel compatible version should follow very soon...

Their forum is excellent, they answer everything personally.. and aren't arrogant at all.

The company rocks. My kinda guys

Hydratone rocks, I just wished it didn't use Pluggo .........................

i dunno man... i have ea dualcore g5 2.0ghz and can run a shitload of them... they aren't the lightest of plugs but i never have to check my cpu meter when i'm adding them

check out the tritone forum and file it as a bug report... assuming you have a half decent pc

cheers

peace

I love the Tritone plugs. Been running them on my Dual 1.8 Mac for a while now without any problems. Highly recommend them.

i like tritone stuff a lot but this pluggo thing turns me off really!

i mean the reason to go for pluggo was that they would not have to
programm each version of th epluggin.

but now they have to keep on programming their plug ins again for
every ****ing pluggo update so they dont have time to move on
and develop new stuff.

it really pisses me off!

i'd love to use more of theirs and would pay more if it wasnnt with pluggo.

[AMIEL]

You are right! to be dependant from the pluggo plattaform must be a pain in the butt!! and if u like pluggo and also us tritone plug ins youhave to wait until tritone have the update to be able to use both!! that is insane!l
