UAD Studer A800 vs. Nebula R2R Studer - BLIND TEST (ROUND 2)

[Plec]

On request, as the first test wasn't perfectly level matched (differing about .5db), which we all know can skew any listening test. This is round two of the UAD Studer A800 vs. Nebula R2R studer BLIND TEST.

This time, without any graphs to look at and with the files more evenly matched and they might've have also been swapped around...

The interesting thing is to see if you decide on the same thing twice.

a little bit off-topic...Plec...could you post a clip without the tape-sim? I would like to know how these plug-in/nebula programm affects the overall sound. At the moment i read alot about Nebula and I am considering to buy some programs...so I would like to know what these program can do to the overall sound.

I prefer 1B. It seems more alive.

FUCK I need a UAD card now. This Studer shit is driving me crazy and Neb just plain does NOT like my system.

 

[LydonB]

I prefer 1B on this one.

 

[Ermz]

1B sounds way more analogue.

Damn! YES! I love Nebula and have been a user for years but it does NOT fit my workflow.

Need a UAD-Card ASAP
