Acustica Audio Ch3rry screenshot
Ch3rry Equalizer is the first Acustica's mastering 4-band hyper EQ, super performing and super light on CPU, available in VST, VST3, AAX, and AU formats. It is sampled from two notorious mastering EQ devices and its magic lies in the curves and low frequencies, which are highly defined, bringing them closer to the original hardware.

The tasty Extra-Light mastering EQ:

Ch3rry Equalizer is the lightest EQ ever created by Acustica, based on two sampled devices and built on the 'Hyper' engine, offering an unprecedented experience that is both ultra-lightweight and supremely powerful. Designed with speed, precision, and performance in mind, CHERRY is poised to redefine the very essence of your audio mastering.

An expression of simplicity and innovation:

The vision was clear from the start - to craft an equalizer that stood out from the crowd, not just in terms of sound quality but also in its design and user experience. We wanted CH3RRY Equalizer to be an embodiment of simplicity and elegance, offering you an interface that is visually appealing yet incredibly intuitive to use. In our pursuit of simplicity, we faced challenges that demanded creativity and ingenuity. We carefully curated each control, ensuring that only the most essential elements were included, giving you the tools needed, without superfluous options.

Taste it to believe it.

The Ch3rry EQ is the epitome of transparency, providing an incredibly smooth and seamless sound.

Ch3rry's savoir-faire lies in its perfect curves, meticulously crafted with high definition in low frequencies, bringing them closer to the authentic hardware experience. Its low-end definition is second to none, granting your audio signal a new level of depth and clarity with natural warmth and presence.

Hi. Sorry, this is just a request post. There is nothing to install at the moment. Hopefully R2R will see this and add it to their list of upcoming releases. In terms of installing any of the R2R Acustica Audio releases please refer to the R2R Acustica framework release and Fire the Pump release. There's more than enough info in the Comments section from the community on those releases to answer most of your questions. I hope that helps.

I wish R2R will crack everything!
All Acustica garbage,
All UAD Snake oils,
everything!

So that people can finally close their gestalts and finally understand that this is all nonsense. These are not silver bullets, but a simple ploy to scam you out of your money.
And in the end they just started making music using the instruments they already had!

I will respectfully disagree with you. Yes, I too would like R2R to crack and deploy everything, but I don't agree that everything AA does is garbage, nor UAD. Like all things in music production, it really depends on the style of music you create and what the end purpose is. For my style, it wasn't until I trialled and bought a number of AA plugins that I started to get the sound I was looking for on my style of music and on the types of instruments I record. Having said that, I have done trials of a number of plugins from them and for sure quite a few did not work, but the ones that did work I love and use on all my sessions. The ones I didn't like I'm sure work for others, depending on the type of music they do. This is true for all plugins from all developers - some things work, others don't, and sometimes ones work for one song but not another. That's why folks try different ones. In this particular case, the copy of Cherry I was trialling has just lapsed and I really liked it - it worked for me - so I'm hoping it shows up here at some point, now that I'm off of Aquarius. In the meantime I'm perfectly happy to use the Weiss EQ instead, which sounds great and works for me too. I found Cherry to be equally nice but much easier to work with - again, for me, maybe not for everyone. I found particularly that the bottom end on it to be smoother, rounder, and have more depth than most plugins I've used, sort of 3-dimensional, to use a bit of a music production cliche. I can't seem to duplicate the same sound with anything else. That just might be my own failing, but I was happy to have found something that could do that easily for me.

I do appreciate what you are saying though, and I do try to stay away from every shiny object and work with what I have. But, at the same time, I don't think my request - or anyone else asking for AA plugins - is an unreasonable one. Cheers

You just don't know who i am and what experience with AA i have.
I know Nebula and VVKT inside out. It's a waste of time.
Unfortunately, i lost 7 years on this Acustica BS.

And it's a myth that AA sound "more 3d" etc.
Make fair ABX type blind tests.
TDR EQ's crush AA EQ's.
All Nebula and Acqua EQ's are garbage. Complete waste of time, money and CPU.

I sample 3 EQ's for my own Nebula libraries that i post later.
All sampling process is one big compromise.
AlexB EQ for example is so lazy sampled so i delete them all after one day of my own sampling. Trash!

For complete and precise sampling something like low-end EQ band, you need at least 10 Hz step for each run. One sample lowest knob value. One at center\zero EQ. One at highest position.
Low band from 0 Hz to 1000 Hz with proper fade from one frequency to next it's something like 300 sampling measurements. 300 if you sample as i said only 3 positions. But for better results, you need more than just 3.
What will you do if this band have variable Q knob? Multiply 300 measurements even more.

Nobody who sample for VVKT plugins do that shит!

A more relevant way to do this is interpolation on this band.
Yes, NAT software what make all sampling, have Interpolated presets.
But results are unpredictable or just bad.

Really, man! Load AlexB GE 88RS EQ low band and raise gain with narrow Q. Than sweep this band. Do you see "batman ears dance" in DDMF Plugin Doctor? Yeeeeah, bwoooy! This how Alex gives a sнiт on results and quality of his work.
And that's just one example of Nebula dumbness.

This is how company's like Pulsar do this. And surprise-surprise - Pulsar 8200 EQ rip apart AA Green AND Tim Petherick Surge EQ.

Make your own blind tests, brother!

All VVKT compressors are junk.
I have in the past a crew of Nebula colleagues who test each and every XML line and value to fix compressors bad behavior.
DSPBuffer, PROGRATE, RTE all that stuff.
No results. They are still junk. Even with new AA gimmicks.

TDR Kotelnikov compressor kill all available on the market compressor plugins.
This is how brain get tricked by fancy GUI and fairy tales about "dynamic convolution" must sound better than anything. Yes, keyword is "must". But only in theory.

In reality, Acustica have completely no benefits.
It is NOT real analog gear and never will be it.
A lot of nowadays algo plugins sounds way better than Acqua & Nebula.
Analog modeling in algorithmic math now make a huge step further.
They are coded properly, less buggy, load faster, don't waste SDD space, work without any extra hustle.

And another thing i want to say in the end.
All this VVKT stuff causes mental disorder.
I don't sure how it starts but definitely its related to "i like analog gear but it's so pricey, and i can't afford it"
Then "ooooooh! Nebula! It's sampled analog gear. Now i'm happy!"
And only after 5-6 years of struggle with all this bloatware, bugs, glitches and broken dreams, some people start to think critical.

I personally quit all this VVKT hoax in last September and i feels like I suffered from a bad tooth for 7 years, and it was finally cured. Neva go back!

Love Nebula and Aquas. For me it's easy to hear how close it is to hardware. There are plenty of blind tests by Paul Third and also harware comparisons of Tim Petherick comps which are simply the best in the box. When I hear his comps like the Sta-Level it is perfect. It also matches up well with the Access analog hardware. Algo comps and eq's just sound cold and clinical no matter how much saturation they use. I would choose the TimP La2a and TLA100 over any algo comp and it isn't even close. But to each their own. I am an old guy who has spent my life around analog gear and the sound is familiar and personal. The new TimP Complex comp that was just posted is simply fabulous.

It is strange though that R2R chose to not crack all Acustica plugins. Not ungrateful, just find it odd that some were not cracked like this and Silver.
Think of using non periodic rhythm patterns in your music

I'm also wondering why they crack the oldest and problematic plugins instead of new plugins? Is there a reason they do this?

We are all apprehensive, but Midnight they broke in less than 24 hours... Honestly... I have no idea what the Witches are thinking or doing and how they don't owe us any satisfaction lol, but it's been torturous. The Witches broke the most recent ones too... Is it just laziness like they mentioned in one of the NFOs?

I can only suspect that they are working on a huge release and the only one I can think of that would be a huge amount of work would be Silver and some reverb volumes. It could be that Acustica has done something to stop the Witches, not sure how they would, I mean, I guess they could shut down demo downloads or something, strike a deal with Acustica, maybe let up on them to see if Acustica will now stop with all the unneeded bloatware? I know we all hope it is the first option, that they are simply working on Silver and some reverb volumes. No need to give up hope, no doubt the witches are at work and have a plan, I just wish we knew what that plan was, lol.

They were simply going to do the classics. I love the older Aquas like Coffee and Ultramarine and Pink and such. The new ones are great too but I still prefer the older ones a bit more.

demo downloads continue as normal... I'm no one to ask for anything lol, but the last thing I'd like to see is Silver. Agreement? It doesn't look like the profile of the Witches... Let's remember that they may be on vacation (more than deserved) in one of the NFOs it was written "witches in bikinis"... lol Just speculation hehehe

Silver would be very welcome for me. I love my Nebula verbs and from what I have heard Silver sounds just a good. So yeah, I am a reverb junky for sure. I also would love to have Cream, Purple, Titanium,

thats true. but you need to realize these are just tools. in the right hands those are everything. serban ghenea makes his outstanding mixes with 95% of waves plugins which are bashed notoriously here by so called experts. you also do that with your plugins are trash hardware is everything posts everywhere. but i bet your mixes wouldnt have even have half of the quality that serbans have if you had the same multitracks and a billion dollar studio full of every hardware that exists on the planet and he only had stock plugins to use. so no need to discuss all of that.
id choose the plugins that first work best for my workflow and that secondly measure the best in plugin doctor and the likes.. and (like you said) TDR plugins are there on the very top of my list.

one of the very very few (maybe 2 or 3) posts of you that i can agree on. But that it took you 7(!) years to realise that speaks bands on your expertise too..

also that you imply that nobody would start critical thinking before living in a bubble for 5-6 years is complete nonsense. took me about two weeks of testing some AA plugins against some of my other ones to came to the conclusion that its not worth it and theyre absolutely not better for my mixes than what i aleady have..
