    Talk about a coincidence - I stumbled upon AlexB's previous release (channel strip sort of thing I think) last night - first time I'd heard of it.

    Considering how CPU intensive Nebula can be, I was wondering if/how people used them. Also, I think they require Nebula Pro, right?

    Rain,

    There's many knowledgeable Nebula users out there but at this point I don't happen to be one of them.  
    You may want to check their forums & get a feel for how it works & operates since it's not a typical setup.  

    After all I've read over the years about the pros/ cons I tried the demo a few weeks ago. I ended up getting the Neb Pro bundle, along with a few 3rd party consoles, preamps, reverbs, powered buss, eq's.  It definitely has a learning curve  but I'm not finding that it's as taxing on my system as I thought it would be.
    I usually use many tracks in a project & mix groups to submixes so I'm used to that type of workflow anyways.

    You do need to wrap your head around the way it operates i.e. using an e.q. you need to insert a separate instance for each freq.. That freaked me out the first time I heard that but now it's not a big deal, I just use fx chains..
    I do like the results that I'm getting with certain eq's, preamps, consoles. IMO the 3rd party programs are more usable than the factory ones. AlexB, signaltonoise, AITB are all outstanding.  I use a combo of Nebula & my other vsts in my projects- so far, so good.

    Typically I don't think Nebula works well with compressor programs in general so I'll be reading user comments on this new one myself.

    Thanks for the detailed answer, Carl. I appreciate. 
    I'll have a look at their forums.

    Hi Rain
    I purchased Nebula some years ago on some special deal or another - I have to say I could never get my head round it - back then it was very resource hungry and to be frank I felt I could get better results from other less esoteric programs! This could well have been user error, but I do think this is not / was not an easy package to use.
    Also if I remember correctly the GUI was a total mess as well - all in all I disliked it so much I didn't even think about loading it onto my new 64bit system. I did send them an email re 64bit / new models but never got an answer so thought they had probably bitten the dust!
    Just my two pennies!
