Acustica Audio Diamond Dynamic Saturator 2023-R2R screenshot
Team R2R | 25 Nov 2023 | 147.1MB
Studio DMI and Acustica Audio present the Diamond Dynamic Saturator. The newest addition to the Diamond Series of plugins perfectly emulates the color and tone combinations of Luca Pretolesi's favorite hardware saturation units, all in a single plugin.

This brand-new Acqua plugin (VST/VST3/AAX/AU) is the latest in the Diamond series. It’s a powerful saturation product that was carefully designed for a fast-moving workflow, based on our Hyper saturation technology.

Details

This high-performance plugin is the perfect choice if you’re looking for an innovative saturator with a distinctive sound and an analog feel that is, above all, easy to use. It fits perfectly anywhere in your mix, and is also great for master bus applications.

Thanks to its special features and intuitive design, the plugin is on track to become an industry standard: a state-of-the-art tool for the pro audio industry, providing the most accurate digital representation of the Studio DMI signature sound. It combines specific features hand-picked from a range of top-of-the-line hardware devices into one single, groundbreaking product, delivering excellent performance and sound quality every time.
What You Get

Diamond Dynamic Saturator includes the following functions and more.

Dual saturation stage.
Cutting-edge Hyper saturation technology.
Top quality linear-phase filters.
Mid-side mode.
Expansion with 3 levels of density (bypassable).
High quality low-shelf filter (post-saturation).

A witch says,

Library is completely decrypted, decompressed, DRM related bloat removed, and built to the clean one.


One of the typical mistake of Acustica, is mixing retail files and trial files. Since retail and trial files are protected by different licenses, it can't be mixed. When they mix, the product will not work correctly (file decryption will be failed). It crashes the host, or plugin will be muted.

Sometime, issue happens only in one sampling rate. It is because Acustica product does not use same file. If you have problem with one rate, you can try another rates. Their mistake tends to happen in 48kHz and 88kHz.

They should develop automatic file verifier to test all files at one. R2R actually developer it and it catches many errors. We fixed many :)

Diamond Dynamic Saturator (18.5) - Endorsed by Luca Pretolesi. Features Hyper technology and two saturation modules. Possibly a Black Box Analog Design HG-2 and Manley Vari-Mu.

This is a classic SCAM plugin by another "developer". If you match the OUTPUT with the INPUT of the sound before plugin hits, there is no DIFFERENCE in sound. your stock saturation or free plugin will ACTUALLY change the sound! This is why there no gain compensation button on this plugin, everyone would hear there is no change. Worst of all it uses too much CPU for what it does even at 1X oversampling!!!

your stock plugins. any daw you are using. stocks plugins even in Audacity, Garageband or Bandlab will sound better than Acustica Audio Diamond Dynamic Saturator

Totally incorrect. PLease link to something you have mixed, you comment for the sake of being negative like what you are saying is fact. Show us what you do.

This is clearly a very good plugin.

You're entitled to your opinion, it's just amusing, that's all,
but I highly doubt that every single stock plugin is better than Acustica.

not every stock plugin. for this saturator plugin try comparing it with your favortite saturation plugins. after matching settings and output see if you can tell the difference. your CPU will be able to tell difference 🤣

Ooooh baby! Been waiting for this one in particular. You can do some awesome things with it. Thanks R2R!

After reading the R2R message addressing Acustica's bugs, I can say that it's still buggy. Changing settings sometimes nixes the output, forcing you to restart the plugin to get the output back in order.

I'm on an M2 Max.

Potential Problem

- Selecting any preset in the "Massive" folder will mute the plugin

Thanks for your enlightenment about which ones work in 41 and your contribution for making them work in all SRs.
But I think the difference is not That HUGE.is it?!

I already replied to your question in the other post but to clarify 41 vs 96kHz different is not that big at all. it's pretty much perfect to the limit of each sample rate.

48kHz without the OS is the real problem here, apart from the weird curve, the preamp impulse also stretched and produce a different sound altogether. think of it as reverb IR that's been stretch to extend its length. it sounds different.

I'll see what I can do for the missing sample rates. I don't have all of them. But I have most.

there are 3 4 people that are willing to share their files if anyone can remove the protection here. not sure if R2R already doing it but if you can do it too, it a good news for everyone that is waiting for it before abandoning the legit.
