It's top of the line, I've used many different bus compressors and none are objectively better than this. TDR Kotelnikov ( ) Use this bad boy for Drums, Bus and Mastering. Haven't had much success with it as a drum compressor. Works well for Vocals, Bass, toms and snare. ReaComp ( ) Honestly, it's a different sounding compressor.

It does the job it's supposed to with Vocals and Bass, not very good on drums, IMO.

Here are some free options: - MCompressor ( ) Sounds like you're run of the mill good compressor. Pro-C 2 (Compressor) The Fabfilter compressor is so well done, you can use it for any application (Vocals, Bass, ect) including drums, which is rare, as, IMO, most compressors aren't that versatile. These free plugins are more than sufficient to be used in place of the Fabfilter plugin suite. So I decided to write up a brief list (with a brief explanation) of the free versions of plugins that I currently use. However, buying FabFilter plugins can be costly. You can't really beat their suite of plugins and the extensive amount of features each of them have. Here we go:įabFilter plugins are amazing sounding and so intuitive to use. Can't wait to get roasted in the reply section, haha.

I won't get into the whole hardware vs software emulation debate, as I love them both, and it really comes down to workflow, needs, and personal choice.Hey fellas, thought I'd share my thoughts on some of my favorite free plugins and how they can be a sufficient replacement for FabFilter plugins. The sound to my ears of the Minibrute sampled is fantastic in the EII, and the ability to play pads using the Minibrute samples makes it a whole different keyboard. I've made numerous samples from Albino, Omnisphere, Oddity, my D50, Voyager, VFX-SD, Wavestation and Arturia Minibrute to name a few. While I enjoy the samples from the 80's, my greatest joy is using the EII for what it is, a sampler. I use my Emulator II with an Apple laptop with sound designer. The Emulator samplers have been around a long time, and many require maintenance and unless you are a DIYer and have access to a vintage synth/sampler tech in your area, you might look to something else in hardware and go the software route.

I own both the Emu Emax Plus and Emulator II+HD and I LOVE them both.Īs the OP asked, I would suggest if you're looking for sounds of favorite groups from the 80's, perhaps as has been suggested, software emulations from UVI or the TAL Sampler would most likely satisfy anyone listening to these emulations in a mix. They're not even close.Īnd, yes, I know a digital sampler with analog filters is a digital device.

Get your hands on the real thing, and let the grown-ups who've actually had regular experience with both talk. I have classic Emu samplers and the TAL.Īre you a know-it-all teenager, because your opinion is just silly? You're listening to marketing hype. So if you want to spend 3000-4000$ on a slowly falling apart piece of old gear just because you want to own it, sure - buy it.īut if you want it for the sound, a 60$ plugin will get you there.I'm sorry if you've been neglected and you've never experienced the joy of having a real classic sampler, but I have. It just doesn't have the same samples, you will have to hunt for them on the web and import them somehow. If you like hardware A and there is no software alternative that sounds the same, buy hardware A.īut is TAL Sampler a perfect emulation of Emulator II ? Only the analog (this one is mostly digital though) that was already successfully almost perfectly or perfectly emulated.
