Acustica Audio Aquamarine 5 2023-R2R screenshot
Team R2R | 2023.11.27 | 272.4 MB
Aquamarine5 is a high-end mastering and mixing plugin suite which includes a monster compressor - sampled from one of the most highly regarded units on the market - featuring a smooth and warm sounding Opto comp section and a punchy, discrete VCA-style dynamic processor which can go from a subtle 1.2:1 ratio to savage ‘Flood’ limiting.

A vintage passive EQ from the 1950s
Aquamarine5 includes an astoundingly precise recreation of an American ultra-rare passive equalizer from the '50s. And when we say 'ultra-rare' we say it for a reason. The owner of this unit, which was sampled in Berlin, explained how only a few of these beasts - possibly less than 5 - can still be found in good working order. We don't know how the others sound like compared to the one we are bringing you this time and if they present any differences due to component variations or simply due to maintenance. What we know, though, is that the DNA of Aquamarine's EQ is the same as the one found in its hardware counterpart.
We did it again
We have elevated the Aquamarine Compressor to new heights with the release of its 5th version, incorporating new features that enhance its accuracy and integrating it with our cutting-edge Hyper technology.
New features
Improved audio quality thanks to the oversampling inside the compressor.
New "Hyper" engine.
New Input - Output - GR meters with numerical values.
Numerical value parameters of the compressor.
Various optimizations and graphical improvements.
Resizable interface (for both Comp and EQ)
new additional buttons (Bypass LR and DELTA) to the compressor.
new SATU knob on compressor (Range: 0, +24). Note: input trim acts only on compressor.
added Bypass button to the Aquamarine EQ.

The scope of the EQ is limited but it sounds ok. The compressor is completely dissapointing. when matching the output there is no perceivable change to the sound

You are amazing! I wasn't able to download a single AA plugin (let alone trying it in a project and certainly not compering it with whatever alternatives might exist which would take me at least few hours) without seeing you in the comments of the particular release.
Occasionally you drop a positive word about AA plugin which makes me trust you a lot, A LOT my poor friend!!!. You seem to work 24/7, and what a work it is, congratulations!!!

Read the manual for once, i mean it doesn't work on 808, and i'm say that for you tipe of request, apart of that, matching the output...what do you use? Gainmatch, your ears, turn down the fader to same level ?
I mean, not all AA are "the plugin", i tested this whit plugin doctor, and i tested whit my ears, and it's sound nice, of course i don't have and never use a shadow hills for compare and tell "that is the original sound of a shadow hills", but between this and other brands, y will stick to other brands.
But honestly man, in all the AA post you launch your opinión, and it's fine, but if You wanna only say, dissapointing, matching output, meehh, no perceivable change, etc etc etc... At least tell your source material, explain what's wrong on your deduction about the plugin, not just throw coments. Or you can crank the input, compress, match the gain, print and compare whit other compressors.
The day that hopefully R2R brings the U and A brand, i guest that will be the same.

EDIT: Thanks for all Witches and of course Funtime.

whats in the manual that is relevant to the criticisms in my original comment? 'it doesnt work on 808' is that supposed to be a insult? so this plugin doesnt work on 808s but other plugins work on them? lol. Most compressors have automatic gain compensation. test the plugin with ur own source material. which plugins how you compared it with?

Volume or Gain fader is also quite effective.

I don't think there's one plugin you like from anything. Such a critic for not being a developer yourself.

How about you first learn how to use a compressor before you post a comment.

quote by BasedPirateThe compressor is completely dissapointing. when matching the output there is no perceivable change to the sound

To give you the feature of "no perceptible change on the sound," the developers of this formidable compressor have worked "so hard" that they also charge "so much," about $4800. Vertigo VSC-3. Just think how valuable that quality can be.

You have just proved you can't hear what's going on. As opposed to the BIG names in the audio industry who ENDORSE AA and have their names on the plugins. You are right and they are wrong? Yes or no. Provide some tangiable reference evidence to us or some mixes you have done so your 'opinion' can hold some weight, but we all know this isn't going to happen. Aquamarine is insanely good if used correctly on a master, almost indistinguishable from a Shadow Hills, reacts the same. It is a two tiered process that is designed to be used very subtly. To say there is no perceivable change just speaks verses about your experience. Stop it.

Please, give technical details, like comparison using Plugin Doctor.
Big names endorsements means only one thing<: money involved...

Not only you, all of you guys who say "this is good" or "it's bad", should give real technical proof of what you say, otherwise, all this is only blablabla.

thanks r2r for the test . . . is a good compresor, best than shadowhills from plugin alliance . . . but in my material (cinematic and sound tracks ) is not neccesary (in normal situations) this type of compresors . . .
but thanks

After reading all these nice R2R NFOs, i really start to think that AA is a scam/rip-off company

If I only work with a standard of 44.1, can I delete the 96.N2V files?
