I dunno 'bout this one. It's not like my mic locker and preamp choices are seriously lacking.
 
I wonder what bitflipper will have to say about this one.

OK, just watched the video. 
 
My initial reaction above was based on it solely being a VST only.
 
I'm imagining each mic will be in the $1000 range and the preamp being in the $2000 range. Hopefully it comes with all the stock VSTs in the vid while I suspect the add on VSTs will be in $99 range.

Frankly, neither the "classic neuman/neve" or the slate setup sounded very good to me.  Of course, that could just be Steven's screechy, warbling yowl.  Looks to be for the "pros".  Who would already have a decent locker and pres. 
 
It's getting to where I have a really hard time actually hearing any "improvement" in much of the newer plugs coming out.  A combination of my old ears and the teency bit of improvement (if any) the plugs offer. 

One thing you can be sure of with all the new plugs, myolpal, is that you'll be out $49 to $99. How does that "sound" to you?

I have Antares Mic Modeler...good enough for me...
 
Isn't anything spectacular, but it does add some character in the right application.

a) +1
b) have not tried it yet. It was packaged in my AVOX EVO package so it's not like I went out of my way to "get it".

I think Mic Modeler is one of the best things Antares has to offer...which, I guess, is damning with faint praise.

Well the focusrite liquid Pre was already crazy and based on convolution , so i think we can expect some serious for real ....let's stay open ....
 

I looks like one more expensive (probably) thing I don't really need.  I buy too many toys as it is.
