Not getting the intro price and/or the seasonal sales is a personal choice, then we cannot debate further on this topic. Our main target are the professionals, that will recover the plugin ( honestly ridiculous) price in 2-4 working hours, and understand that loading one single (highly-)optimised instance is usually better, in order of needed time and resources, than loading tons of N4 instances to replicate, for example a complete EQ.Īnd we are the cheapest in the offcial N4 3rd party devs. Then, instead of thinking that X is better and cheaper of Y, you should start to think that X and Y are currently the status-of-the-art in the plugins market, and you can get them both of the colours for few more than 100€.Īnyway we think it's absolutely improbable that you will find a Brighton or Osaka kind of custom machines from another dev. Intro price makes no difference to me because most customers won't be getting the intro price.We are not interested to annihilate the work of the others Devs, this would be a disadvantage for the customers and also for us, we just want to add something else, interesting, on the market. It's over 3 times as much if you want to be technical. The most expensive compressor from TimP is £25.00($30.40) and the Brighton comp is currently €85.00($94.60). The technology came from you but the wow factor definitely came from the AlexB’s, and many others, of the nebula world. I’m very happy for your success G but please do right by the guys who put you on the map. I’m generally a mind-my-own-business kinda guy so i’m going back to doing just that. Who’s fault is it that it didn’t work out that way from the start? That’s actually how it should have been from the beginning. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the 3rd party guys being required to pay a reasonable royalty. Remember the old wild-west days of nebula-presets when none of us really knew what the hell was going on.we just loved the sound? Well that was 12 years ago too. Bear in mind that i’m A fan and supporter from the beginning. I can use the Acquas that I own but overwhelmingly mostly choose not to. How many devices (comps, eqs, strips) can anyone possibly need? Only time will tell but the days of nebula (Acqua) blowing away algos passed many years ago. What’s nonsense to me is that I rarely reach for an Acqua when mixing but I still use n4 daily. This results in the decision to keep all involved elements access. since AA wanted to do all they can to preserve compatibility, they also are evolving the architecture design. Examples of these are the Bronze-eQ, Tokyo-eQ, Mantis Comp, and others.
These 'hybrids' have multi-band EQs, Compressors with built-in PreAmps selectable, etc. These are N4 libraries, packaged to look and work like an ACQUA plugin. These come from the 3rd party Devs that have joined AA Development. They are also optimized as a single instance. they are many, multiple N4s packed into a single GUI interface. some Devs cleverly stack a few bands into a single preset.Īs to ACQUAS. When you insert the N4 on a track can you load as many programs as you want to that one N4 instance?Standard 3rd party Neb/N4 libraries are single band, single operation Presets. How they fit into your Workflow, and sonic preference is something only you can determine. Some 3rd party Devs offer limited PreSets of their NEB/N-4 libraries. It was much easier for some of us, starting with the only NEBULA, then adding ACQUAs. Having to choose one over the other is indeed appreciated. I've come to depend on both formats for my work. Īdditionally, N4 also hosts 'Acqua type' design, like BRONZE-EQ, MANTIS Compressor, etc, as well as the vast array of the single Preset libraries from various 3rd party Devs. N4 use calls on Console Presets, other PreAmps, Tapes. particular Acqua plugs are the workhorse for EQ and Compression.
I use both N4 and ACQUAs.īefore the release of Acqua, it was all Nebula/N4. Thanks.It is difficult to suggest which 'platform' is best for someone. I'm guessing that both N4 and Aqua emulate some of the same gear I'd be interested in A/B'ing them.
#NEBULA 3 VS NEBULA 4 SOFTWARE#
If you could only have either Nebula 4 or Aqua, which would it be? This is kind of a flawed question tho, since the Nebula 4 software costs more than any one Aqua plug, but after that initial purchase, the patches (or whatever the effects for N4 are called) are dirt cheap compared to Aquas.Īs far as demos go, do all the top N4 programmers offer fully functional demos like Aqua? If yes, can someone give me some names to search for so I can try the demos.
