Space Control too. I guess all the Studio DMI collab plugins will be like this.

So you should put them in a new folder called Studio DMI in VST3? apart from the Acustica folder? I put all the AA plugins into one folder named Acustica in VST3 and they all seem to work or should I move the Studio DMI plugins (MAGICFLOW and SPACECONTOLR) to their own folder called Studio DMI?

One TIp When you use AA plugins Always save your project every 5 mins. It can crash your system anytime. No matter what the specs is. This happens with legit version too.

Do we need any special emulator or such to run these?

in the release there are a COUPLE OF NFO with all the infos and instructions by R2R

ANYHOW

you should install
1. R2R AA framework (released a couple of days ago)
2. R2R AA FIRE THE PUMP (as a test plugin for your system)

wow multiband processing with no option for linear phase crossover filters! look at this phase response
more like free multiband plugins technically
BTW great work dear R2R

Is that a good or a bad thing. I'm learning mixing so I'm in the dark about this
  Member 4.05.2021 498

if you dont know "what to to do to manage non linear phase crossovers" then LETS SAY its a bad thing

but it can be a good thing if you are lucky...

when you splitting audio for multiband processing you get ripple like phase response and that ruins your multiple audio materials like when you use it on bus or drums so it is just usable with low transient single source audio maybe only vocals
perfectly suited for the leads and backing elements of your mix

but to my ears phase distortion is very unpleasant that was the first thing i heard then double checked it with Curve Analyzer

@noisia> did you enter the correct plugin latency value in Bertom?
Come back, on the fonky track

yes! this phase incoherency is nature of non linear phase steep filters
try ott with curve analyzer you get same result.

I was really looking forward to this plugin the most. I've seen so many videos on youtube praising it to the skies, but to be honest I'm pretty disappointed. It almost feels like it's smearing transients. The sound alone when all the filters and preamps are off is strange. It still boosts the low-end.
Maybe I'll have to take another approach.

it's one of the ones I've been waiting for too. I'm more interested with the Artist Series stuff from AA. Studio DMI etc.

will note what you say and check it out myself, haven't finish reading the manual and watching Josh demoing it. I kinda like the resonance taming but the plugin looks like one big box of dynamic EQ and multiband compression. It was intended for vocal processing at first but Josh said can be used for Busses too.

I played around for a while with this and have some considerations:

For a vocal processing box it really outstands. It's like a Soothe with different target bands on the dynamic EQ section, with the multiband MCDSP trick Jaycen Joshua uses for suppressing ressonances on very especific areas. Dynamics Balance seems to be a RMS compressor while the peak level a peak compressor (o rly). The EQ curves make sense in a tonal way and none of them sounded bad, just different. The preamp was the part i liked less. It sounds too bright, i thing that i generally avoid with saturation, unless i'm using an aural exciter. The preamp sounds like one.


Tried on busses also, but the compression is awful on this kind of source, lots of pumping and weird artifacts on any of them (dynamic eq, balance and peak). I would use only the eq section if i'm lazy, but i don't think it makes sense at all on complex material.

Not working. Showing Error or blank VST even after downloading Acustica Audio framework R2R and making directories.
