anyone digging RC Tube, i could see it working on certain material but im not sure how it fits into modern metal production. Maybe on bass?

Don't waste your money...get ALL of them in VCC. It's a better option by far. The Neve is worth the cost alone.

agreed. i had rc tube before vcc, but the neve seems to make the most noticeable difference. rc tube is cool though.

Have to agree with this. I love VCC to death, but RC tube has hardly ever been my favourite. It does have some qualities though. The few times I have chosen it over the others were on tracks that were supposed to sound a bit vintage. It has also helped me with the smoothing of harsh mids all over the place on instruments like synths, or recorded bell-like sounds.

In my experience, it distorts pretty easily, even on well-set inputlevels. I'm not sure if that is intended due to its nature, but I don't like the way it sounds. Turning down the Drive knob helps alleviate this problem without changing your levels, so it's no disaster, but I thought it should be mentioned.

IMO, the greatest thing about VCC is the Neve mixbus. That with 4x/8x oversampling is just beautiful. I have been using VCC daily since its release and have yet to find a situation where it didn't just flat-out make everything sound better and more 3D.
