can they just strip down everything to just a one knob 25/32kHz shelf with tube preamp saturation stage ?

no cuz thats not what this plugin does?

missing the point here but okay.

the only thing people use on this hardware unit is that high shelves, this is a stereo bus unit and opto compressor for stereo bus will destroy the mix more than it enhances it. Mixing through opto comp on the stereo bus will smooth everything out and one will overdo everything and also destroy the mix, also fuck up the stereo image real bad. People buy this hardware unit for that shelves only, it's what it's famous for. Everything else is average on the hardware and it becomes twice average in plugin format. Usable but overkill with the amount of CPU it needs, a slider with no freq selection and Q in digital format. zzz

discontinued in 2018 for that reason.

Good to know πŸ‘. As I mostly master. It seems however your mostly forgetting about stem processing especially vocals.

I see... but anyways. It doesn't even use that much CPU, you should try the demo before trashing it, would be appropriate and you might be surprised.

<<Mixing through opto comp on the stereo bus will smooth everything out and one will overdo everything and also destroy the mix, also fuck up the stereo image real bad>>
Nonsense. Ever heard of the Pendulum OCL-2, the Maselec MLA-2, the Gyraf even the Millenia TCL-2 all used in top mastering facilities over the world. Where do you get this stuff?? geez ...
And Avalon didn't discontinue the 747 because it sucked - that's bonkers. They built the unit for 20 years and then the shame just overwhelmed them or what? It probably has to do with the cadmium issue. Do a search regarding opto compressors, especially in the EU and California. Google is your friend.

"mixing through"


#facepalm

-----------------------------------------

"yeah, we discontinued the product because it sucked, and the sale is low,"

- no hardware company ever

----------------------------------------

stereo opto comp uses M/S method on its signal path because it's impossible to have two opto lights that react the same for L/R for compression (gr, speed etc) and if they were to do it, it will need calibration everyday, temperature/time will mess it up too, so it's not practical. Gain reduction is done in M/S before the sginal decoded back to L/R to output. Having that on the stereobus during mixing while you adding delay/reverb or doing panning will 100% change the whole balance and the side will start reacting differently and it will undo all your previous doings, everything will change, that's why smart mixer doesn't mix through it. Sometimes you just want to check/hear a track sound by pushing the fader up, and with Opto on stereo bus, the track that even slightly panned you'll get funky result right away. Opto comp is in L/R mode in digital domain only because it's doable to have same "opto light" coded to L/R that react similarly. Another thing, mixing goes for a long time, 4-8 hours and the Opto comp will mellow out because of heat and overworked, so you'll overdo thing too. The next day recall will sound weird when the comp is at optimum. That's not even considering how the tube stage react which also a big problematic mf on its own. So a big no to mix through. VCA solid state comp is often the choice for its consistency.

Maybe you should try it ? Don't use plugin though, it's not the same. Your best friend google should tell you that.

Ever heard of Stereo LA2A or LA3A ? me too, it's available in plugin only. 1176 has stereo version, the 1178.

All the stereo opto comp that's relevant these days all are the "mastering edition" with stepped knob, switches etc and this Avalon unit isn't that level. So the design sucked a bit. In mastering all the competent one only use the high shelves. My mastering engineer agrees, all the videos I watched also like that. Not a single soul use the compressor section or other part of the EQ, never seen one. Mostly because it can't do precise recall, 0.1 move is big in mastering.

Mastering is a totally different stage where everything is already in place. Compressing in M/S mode is one of mastering thing anyway.

What you are describing is all in the analogue domain, this is a plugin digital maybe they've managed to do away with some of the analogue side effects in this digital replication. lol

On different sample rates it has different curves, so it is buggy. If it is famous because of curves, as said above, it is too early to request it with buggy curves....

Have it and enjoying it.
Some things need to be tied up so waiting for an update would be a sensible approach.

Purchased this on the promo price and it is a bit buggy. Might be good to wait for a little while.

I've been waiting ages for this plugin!!! I literally check the internet every half hour to see if someone has already managed to crack it!!! Am I going crazy? This is a fatal attraction!! Wait... It's been half an hour now, let me Google it again...

There's no patching needed. Kazrog's newer releases are DRM free.

Several members in this thread have it, so maybe they'll post it.
