I will start this Analysis/Review with the description from the Focusrite website: ” Focusrite’s new Midnight plug-in suite takes two of the most iconic Focusrite modules of all time – the ISA110 equaliser and ISA130 compressor; models their sound exactly with powerful DSP technology; and gives them elegant, functional on-screen front panels that make them […]

Here is a quality analysis of Cocko’s ReaComp alongside a comparison to the previous thread of Slate Digital VBC. If you are new to the lab post ,read this https://www.gearevu.littlefishaudio.com/must-read-welcome-to-my-lab-updated/ ReaComp – Settings  I’ve tryed to match the VBC & SSL settings FR Reacomp Well as expected, flat! We need to expect a flat DSC right

Testing The VBC Pluggins from Slate Digital If you are new to the lab post ,read this https://www.gearevu.littlefishaudio.com/must-read-welcome-to-my-lab-updated/   Pic represents settings used for all the tests above Frequency ResponseThe test result is pretty strait forward, I think for this one no need to explain. Just in case, this is your ‘EQ curve’ Phase relationship Here

The plugin is tested on CLA Rock Drive Preset. This thread consists of animated graphs shocasing the scaling of the ‘drive’ knob from 0 to 10 in steps of +1  If you are new to the lab post ,read this https://www.gearevu.littlefishaudio.com/must-read-welcome-to-my-lab-updated/   FR Here we can see that the fr changes dependend on the drive level.

This way we will observe how the analogue emulation behaves on a ‘bypassed’ way! Here are the default settings above.

Hi I am Fabian, Music producer and DSP analyst. In this blog I will analyze and review, commercial and non-commercial audio plugins mostly in their analogue modeling accuracy – More about my work and background can be found at: www.prezjaproductions.com This by all means will not be your run of the mill review posts, so
