Plugin shootout in 24 bit 96 khz wav format
Just did a quick and unscientific shoot out between AlexB’s MWeq against the super expensive new release by Steinberg.All of this is subjective of course and what I call nice may be another’s poison.
The coding is exceptional and those Yamaha tech heads know how to make good algorithms. It was Close close close.
I have one portico 5033 and of course passing audio through even just with the bands engaged is an experience and I use it exclusively for vocals at mixdown.
My subjective feelings as far as ratings go are that obviously first is the Hardware – then Alexb’s version, then the plugin. I also did a quick shootout with Q-clone and the plug and q-clone were similiar although Q-clone gave a less zippy high end. The low end was much nicer with Q-clone as well.
After all has been said and done – Alexb’s rocks and is a fraction of the price. If people knew more about Nebula they wouldn’t shell out close to half the value of the harwdare for a plug. It does have a couple of advantages though – the plugin is CPU light and has all the bands available at once.
Guess if you want clean transparent then the plugin will make you very, very happy ………and a little poorer. If you want a little more warmth, depth and less clinical – Nebula.
Just my two cents but perhaps others may wish to chime in. 😀
