Thanks for the video, answers a few questions that I had.

Yes Craig...

There was quite a bit of useful information here in brief video form.

Thank You!

I love the console emulator.  It's basically adding distortion?  Right?  But it's a very smooth distortion.

Peace,

I have tried it and I don't like it. Personal I feel it's not in the top notch - high end stuff.


I'm sorry but if you comparing it to hardware SSL or NEVE converters/ Amp or console, Sonar emulation has little to do with that.
Hardware doesn't sound or behave as the emulation do. Sonar emulation actually kills the transient instead of enhancement them. The effect get even worse placing the console emulation last in the chain as Craig suggest in the video.

By saying all that doesn't mean you can't still use it if you like it. There are no rules out there to color your mix! Refer it more as an effect, a saturation effect then to compare it as real hardware. Anyway, that is just my thoughts. Have a great day!

Actually , 




I agree with 100%.  Can't hear nothing. 




Looks pretty though. I guess it has that going for it.

Freddie, what do you mean by "kills the transient"?
