liquid mix
hi,
i plan to buy liquid mix . BUT... what can i see... liquid mix super sux with protools ? ! i have a old digi001 PT6.4 and use already FXpansion. it works fine. no latency and such. But focusrite says for PT 2000 samples of latency ! I was planning to buy a digi002. this is serious enough to change software. anyway PT is cool but i dont care a f about PT Other softs or just as cool or even better. dunno . but logic mix seems super great. anyone tried that on PT ? about liquid mix here is a blind test funny to do : http://www.gearslutz.com/board/showthread.php?t=89151 |

Re: liquid mix
Do you want this because it`s DSP? Or because its "Focusrite EQ`s and Compressors"?
First of all, the liquidmix doesn not include any of the good expencive Focusrite plug-ins like D2/D3. It only includes new plugs that emulate other "famous vintage" stuff. No telling if these sound good or what, at that price for that many plugs, I´m betting thery OK, but nothing to "write home about." So unless the plug-ins are really just the way you want the, you are paying for a dedicated dsp for those plugs, and those alone. If you don`t use them, you won`t be needing the hardware either. So before spending 1000$+++ on changing your whole DAW set-up, why not see if you actually want the plugs included with the liquidmix. Third. Firewire DSP`s will induce delay nomatter what kind of DAW you are using, the only difference is that logic and Cubase has Automatic Delay compensation, while in ProTools LE, you have to fix this manually. So you can easily get by the delay in PT aswell. If you want good EQ`s / Compressors, there are alot of other cpu friendly alternatives out there, like Stephen Massey`s plugs at www.smassey.com and a good list of free /cheap RTAS at macmusic.org. Massey plugs are being hailed as some of the best in the biz over at gearslutz and other forums. And they only cost 89$ a pop for fullversions. However, if you really want the Focusrite box, than there is probably nothing else to do but buy the liquid mix. just make shure you actually WANT the plugs first. Good Luck

Re: liquid mix
hi snarf
these plugs are based on convolution. once i tried the iR1 (my first convolution plug) i felt that a whole knew world would bigin with this stuff. Nothing to do with classical plugs or emulation. i could really feel the room around me and .. well never mind it's my feeling You can find many forums around web where people are very surprised by this thing. Some smart guys says "hey liquid sounds plastic" .. but in front of a blind test it becomes more funny You can find some blind tests to on the web .. and it's 600$ |

Re: liquid mix
the thing rocks. Take a look at the A/B test on Gearslutz.com. I have it and it as good as it gets. I have not even used the EQ yet, mostly copressors. I would give up most other gear before I gave this thing up.
