great! excited to try the tube emulation. Steven, is it safe to update while already working on a project?
I'd finish project first since its always best idea.. but 1.5.2 is very stable..
We'll be working on Audiosuite version

Steven, was the volume of RC-Tube tweaked at all after 1.5? I'm using 1.5 (not 1.5.2). The Channel and MixBuss version are adding approx 1dB each to the signal. I measured RMS and peak
There is no RMS or peak value change in my tests, I'd send a message to support. 1db is a lot of level.
Cheers,
Steven

Absolute barg with the iLok 2. Think i might jump on this if the offer is still around next week
Hope you guys have checked this out. RC TUBE sounds killer on metal stuff.. brings it to life.

Will there be a crossgrade from the RC Tube to the full VCC? I am interested in trying this out.

Guys, thinking about buying VCC - what emulations are you finding work best for bass, guitars, vox, drums and master buss? Thanks.

Altough this depends heavily on personal tastes ofc, I notice that I end up using Brit4k on anything that covers the bass-area of the mix (usually bassguitar, drumbus and masterbus), because I feel that it gives a very nice depth and warmth to that area that I just can't get with regular EQ. It also smoothens the high-end a bit.
On middy instruments like metalguitars and synths, I like the US A and Brit N, because they seem to give the mids a bit of an edge that makes them stand out before I start mixing. Technically, I prefer the sound of the Brit N, but it tends to muddy up really fast, so I usually settle for the US A.
On vocals, it completely depends on the voice and the song for me.
Come to think of it, the only console I never seem to prefer is the Trident. Do any of you guys use that one, and for what?
Since the RC tube is still new, I haven't implemented it in any project yet, but I think it's pretty distinct from the others, so I'm sure I will find a use for it in the future

The Trident is awesome when you need to add a bit of clarity to something. I've used it on guitar a few times. I used it on an entire mix for one EP I did recently. I love the Neve on the kick for it's huge bass. It's the US A I haven't found a use for haha. I find it much more subtle than any of the others.

I like Trident most of the time. API is nice too but a bit brighter.
I don't use Neve much as it tends to really exaggerate the lows and can make things a bit muddy. I don't find myself using SSL much either.
Not had a chance to try out the new tube model.

Guess I should give the Trident another chance then. It's not improbable that I just skip it every time because I am so used to the others by now. Sometimes it's good to break the habit to find out new things
And I agree, the US A is very subtle; I usually push it quite hard to get the desired effect from it. Same with the 4k on the drumbus btw, it gives a nice thump to the kick that I dig.
