EDIT : ANSWERS ON PAGE 2 (IF YOU WANNA TRY OUT BEFORE)
FIXED : BOTH FILES ARE NOW DOWNLOADABLE
guys, i just received my new xrack, filled with a gssl buscomp, a stereo dynamic strip, 3 4k series mono eqs and 2 9k series stereo eqs.
i toootally love this thing. what i was curious about :
how do they compare to the duende native stuff released recently.
i tried matching as close as i could, the xrack has no exact markers,
so i basically had to finetune by ear, as close as i could.
this is no scientific test, (and in my opinion for what we do science is not the most relevant argument for anyhting we do)
but i wanted to know : will my tracks sound "better" with outboard eqs?
so : which one do you prefer ?
A or B ?
which one is the real deal ? A or B ?

(info : both were tracked through an SSL 4k console, its more rock than metal) both ran through my gssl comp, to give it extra smack.
i think its important to test pluginshow they integrate in the mix,
because to my ears, thats when they get revealed....
so both ran through the same conversion, same gssl setting AND SSL channelstrip/compression.
>> the only difference here is the eq section.
to be honest, at first i thought that i exported the same file twice.
but after you dive into the sound, you listen to different aspects,
i really love what the real thing does a loot more.
still the plugin does a great job, thats for sure!
ADDIT : i really dont know why the gate behaves differently, as they had the same loudness... i hope its not to distracting. but thats again something
thats interesting -> how does the signal work in context...
