It was VST wrapper only, but the rtas version is out now, so you don't need it.

I'm finding the cumulative effect of this far more useful than just using it on the mixbus.
Currently I'm just using the 30ips presets for each channel.  Doing this has a great effect.  I'm just dipping my toes into it really.  Looking forward to using the 15ips on each channel when the material warrants it.



i've found the same thing...though i often use the 30 ips setting on the stereo buss as well.  on a record i just mixes...i used the 30ips setting on every channel, with additional use of the motown preset on vocals....and drum rooms got VERY saturated with the german setting.

what a great plugin.  my first tool for "vibing" up in the box mixes.

great job urs !!

best,

Thanks! Now Ill need to try it! On the site it seemed confusing so I downloaded cranesong Phoenix instead since it gets such rave reviews.

I bought it and I don't buy many plug ins. Its great. Now I need to try the URS.

The one thing I don't like about phoenix is the top end isn't as happening as the bottom and tape does sweeten the top IMHO. Is the URS better on top?

i would love to buy this but there's no PC RTAS version and the VST wrapper is a giant useless mess in my experience.

this is the one category of plugin (saturation/distortion) where i am happy to buy as many different ones as possible.  every flavor is different.

I've had no trouble with the VST wrapper on PC.

I DLd the demo yesterday to try.

I'm pretty impressed but one thing seemed to be strange when strapped across the 2 Buss- On higher settings it didn't sound like what i thought saturation should sound like, it sounded like broken code. This didn't do the same thing on merely transient material.

Eveything under 20% sounded "correct."


Anyone care to tell me what I'm hearing?



bump ?

anything new on this report - broken code sounding issue ? really looking forward to trying the plug  soon .

Just bought it today.
So far I really like the American Transformer.
Using this (Post EQ) works brilliantly for the mix bus and individual tracks.  I love the way it focuses the low-end.

The Tape Machine Preamp seems to be broken.
It crashes Samplitude V10.2 when I try and use it.

Other than that, I'm happy!

I'd like to hear if most people are using the URS Saturation Plug as the 1st plug in the chain or post EQ and Dynamics.  We purchased this plug yesterday and just completed our 1st mix with it and our new UAD-2 Neveana 64.  Used the 15 and 30ips on Vocals, Acoustic
Guitar and Bass. Definitely had a subtle softening impact on this on the tracks in a good way. Ross or J Christopher care to comment?

Thanks,

Well, here is a song where I used some on individual tracks.
Just a quick mix of a band I play in.
Mixed it on my headphones as a test.

Live recording made at "The Groove Room" in San Rafael, California and is pretty musch straight forward rock music.
One has the URS Saturation enabled and the other disabled.
I applied the saturation just as the website/PDF manual suggests.
I applied the saturation until the instrument/voice starts to stick out a little, to your liking, in the mix. "Vibey" is truly the best word to describe what it can add.

I'm curious to see if anyone can here a big difference.

Song 1: No Saturation (16bit 256k MP3)

Song 2: With Saturation Enabled (16bit 256k MP3)

The trusty MySpace page has them as well..

I have to say, I love the way this plug works on Vocals.
To me, the URS plug gives things life.
I don't think one song sounds better than the other.
One is open, smooth and some what dull.
While the other has an edge and cuts more.

Although I haven't explored every option, -2.0 Input, 15 IPS Tape and 80% Saturation is my current Default on individual tracks, first in the chain (PT HD).
