IT'S AN OBSESSION! AN ANALOG OBSESSION! WHAT'S THE VERDICT????? 

Analog Obsession does some fantastic work. Glad to see you guys taking a look. The dev behind AO really knows his stuff, and being just a one man team, he releases plugins (AND updates to existing plugins too) at a rate proper plugin manufacturers would be proud of.

People don’t understand that preamp modeling plugins are amazing when you work with clients that are doing their own work with cheap sterile pres in entry level interfaces. Glad to be a Patreon supporter! You guys rock

Thanks guys! Great review! (Not just because the verdict was a good one) I have a special relation to Ridvan (yes, he is Turkish) because I've been a customer since he started his plugin company - back then with plugins to pay for. I totally fell in love with his Filtek emulation, which was free. The plugins had some issues but the potential was already there. To see his skill developement is awesome. He went from 🤔 to 😮🎉,👏 within a couple of years.

I love this channel. Thank you guys!

I really like their Varimoon compressor, as well as their LALA. Those are very nice.

Finally, the AO review. Thanks, guys. The one that I use most frequently would be Comper, which is a serial compressor with 3 different circuits (Opto/VCA/ FET) in both compressors. It's insanely unique and can be used creatively in so many different ways. I mostly use the FET > Opto combination on the vocals and the FET > VCA one on the drum bus.

You really should try the Channev plugin from Analog Obsession. It's literally these three plugin in one, plus a de-esser and tape saturator. If I had to give up all plugin except for one, including high end paid plugins, Channev is the one I'd pick to keep.

Tunka knows his compressors! The only bad things are updates where sessions can be set off with plugins id being changed after updates and can mess up sessions Lots of redundancies but Fuck it

He‘s updating all the plugins to be Apple Silicon AAX, which is already done for many plugins. I‘m a huge fan of the British channel combo plugin Channev. As soon as I use it in one of my dialogue mixes I‘ll buy a years worth of Patreon support. Channev has two saturation types, a deesser, an equalizer, comp and limiter. Sounds great. Better than supporting Waves in any case.

I just don't get why most reviewers grab that Brit bundle for their reviews. I my opinion there are other plugins from AO that are way more impressive. TUBA for instance is a superb saturator, TUPRE is a wonderful colour box, FETISH is a really good FET compressor... I don't care if they are perfect replicas, they are just good sounding plugins and each has its own flavour.

I use Analog Obsession STEQ, FETISH, and KONSOL on almost every mix, a lot of AO plugins are really good. He does update them as well

I know you plan to do more, I compared oner of his it against the Softube Tubetech (which is obviously different) and used plugin docter just to check my ears were not bullSHITting me and RareSE really stacks up well for a Pultec style EQ. Support is important but look at Waves! It was only by a good push they revoked their bad move.

Really love the TREQ by AO, it's a Trident EQ emulation. Even better than the one by Trident. Trident Audio Development plugins have 7 days trials. Let's see if you can find its fault. 😉

I own hundreds of expensive plugins but analog obsession is legendarily good .

I don't think it would be an understatement to say that Analog Obsession are the overall favourite free/donationware plugin maker industry wide. I'd second the recommendation elsewhere in the thread to look at COMPER, that's one of the most innovative compressors available. Other highlights are CHANNEV, LOVEND, FRANKCS and LOADED/LOADES

I just realized I'll be able to watch it live...3pm here

LALA is the one I go for for vocals every time. I tried other (more expensive) plugins, but I end up using LALA anyway.

Good so my ears still have the mojo!...I'm not old yet!

At last!!!! We want to know what you think about this free stuff

About shitting time!!! 🎉

Cool!

its an emulation of a 2264x, not the 33609

Upside....NO DRM!! I think that is the best part ...using my cpu for actual processing.

Did Fibonacci sponsor Dan's shirt this episode?

Guilty as charged

Bonjour Fräulein

Blatantly the comp is emulating a 2254 bruv. Innit.
