I recently had the same dilemma trying to find the right effect for Tube Snake Boogie, I tried everything that I like on other instruments, even tried UAD's Dimension D. I gave this old plug I had for many years a try >Ohm boys<It really did the trick for me.

 I picked up version 1.20 back in 2002 for full price $9.95. It looks like it is now $91.

UAD are not the only ones doing Dimension D. Another company called Empty Room Systems also do it as a normal VST plugin:

It does cost a little but I highly recommend it. It has been said it is superior to UAD version. They have added a couple of extra controls which increase it's versatility. What they do say is that high quality is maintained right through this plug so it does not mess with the sound so much and they are right. It sounds stellar. One of the best choruses you will ever hear.

The vocal channel type plugin in Sonar that adds the extra voices is also quite effective if used right.

Thanks Jeff.  The UAD Dimension D is my favorite vocal chorus and if this sounds as good or better with some added control and a bit more flexibility I might have to give it a try.  Love the way the Dimension D adds stereo image and depth without washing things out with too much modulation.

Got it, thanks. My only complaint is that it doesn't let you choose where to install it. I have a very specific folder setup and not only didn't it let me choose a location, it flashed the location by so fast I had to search for where it went.
 
If that's the only problem I have for the day, I'm all set. :-)

there is a very good chance that as 64 bit architecture becomes more prevalent bridging may become more difficult. Continuing to use 32 bit plugs will get trickier as time progresses!

This is not groundless paranoia. It could happen. But I don't expect it to happen very soon. Whatever plugins you now have will likely be considered obsolete long before they become un-runnable. And that includes all your current 64-bit plugins.


Consider the history, specifically the timeline of 16-, 32- and 64-bit architectures, operating systems and applications. Windows came along in the early 80's, running 16-bit applications on 16-bit Windows. 16-bit programs continued to be supported right up to 64-bit Windows 7. That's a period of 30 years - the equivalent of a geological epoch in software time. The install base for 32-bit applications is thousands of times larger than the 16-bit base, making it even harder for Microsoft to engineer 32-bit apps out of existence. I expect to be dead and buried before 32-bit software can no longer be run.

I'd like to adopt your optimistic outook Bit, but the sad fact it, while the Kjaerhus plugins work now, and work well (I have most of the Gold, and all the freebies) there is a very good chance that as 64 bit architecture becomes more prevalent bridging may become more difficult. Continuing to use 32 bit plugs will get trickier as time progresses!

I forgot to mention my other favorite chorus - the infamous Dimension D - which UA has done a really good job of modelling. That, of course, requires a UA card, which is why I skipped it in the last post<G>!

Wow--I just watched/listened to a demo of Dimension D. I love pretty much everything about it--the sound, and only 4 buttons which increase the effect. I also confirmed it will work with my old UAD-1 card.
 
Time to start saving!
 
Thank you!
