Paul Third | VARI MU COMPRESSOR PLUGIN SHOOTOUT || Acustica Magenta, SPL Iron, Puigchild, Magic Death Eye & TIMP! @PaulThird | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
VARI MU COMPRESSOR PLUGIN SHOOTOUT on mixbus || Acustica audio Magenta 5, SPL Iron (plugin alliance mega bundle), waves Puigchild, ddmf Magic Death Eye & TIMP vari level v2 & timp ra6
My name is Paul Third and this week on mixing wednesdays I have a mix bus compression vari-mu plugin comparison with plugin emulations of manley vari mu, fairchild 670, retro sta level & BA6A compressors to see which audio plugin compressor is going to be the best choice for our mix bus compressor. As Tim Petherick has been getting asked about more and more after my 'truth about audio plugins' reaction video I decided to use 2 of his sampled convolution plugins (you need acustica nebula 4 commercial version to load these plugin libraries) so more audio engineers can hear more of his compressor emulations.
The waves audio fairchild plugin has been oversampled to 192khz via ddmf metaplugin and the timP libraries have also utilised metaplugin to load them in one instance.
I have also included ddmf plugin doctor analysis where we look more in depth into music production software and compare linear frequency response, THD and aliasing. In the blind audio tests I am using HOFA blind test 4u.
