Re: empirical labs AROUSOR
I can't think of a single session here in recent time that doesn't have Arousor in it.

Still too expensive at $149 for most ppl I guess, most other companies have massively dropped their prices. I would gladly buy it at $99 =)

Hogwash There is a reason that great plugs cost money....because they are great sounding plugs There is a reason 1176’s (hardware) cost real hard cash, there is a reason Neumann mics cost real hard cash. They don’t really put those on sale do they? Just because waves is the new dollar store doesn’t mean everyone else has to be If it’s valuable to you, you will pay the money and if not you will use a CA-76

Re: empirical labs AROUSOR
I think it is to do with economies of scale. Waves clearly can afford to sell the product low because they're most likely selling volumes of the product. The initial R&D has long been recouped and with a large portfolio relative overheads are low.
Smaller companies have smaller economies of scale and need higher retail prices. The Arousor sounded good but didn't wow me. I'm not the biggest UAD fan but the UAD Distressor sounded slightly better to my ears over the rest. The Slate one lost a little of the bottom end as was slightly thin by comparison. Maybe the UAD just gave a little bottom end hype? Either way, all good options and sound pretty close. Stephen

Re: empirical labs AROUSOR

Revoice Pro $549 new license Once you use it for double tracked voices and harmonies you wont want to go back to Melodyne Don’t see many of them on the used market so you?

When I saw the thread title, I thought this was an ad for some kind of Viagra alternative.
