It is extremely good. It's the plugin that shows deep learning AI is indeed the future for these kinds of things.Any Logic users have thoughts on the new-ish stock plugin Chromaglow?
For people who don't have Logic, I highly recommend checking out TBT Tech's Deep Vintage deep learning AI models. They've recently updated the technology to version 2.0 and these now sound way better than before.
For instance, try one of the Pultec plugins. Doesn't matter which one you test as they all seem to have identical response (I suspect they just learned a single one for the tube amp stage and then just chucked a normal vanilla coded EQ on top). Anyhow, try one and drive it hard. The saturation and amount of compression happening is very complex.
Same goes for the 1073 model. That thing can eat transient peaks extremely transparently and sounds beefy and almost laid back. If you want more poky sound, try the 1084 instead.
This is definitely the future. If you are strapped on cash, wait 12 months because nothing's going to be the same again. Once people start figuring out this deep learning stuff it'll be extremely difficult to justify the old "hand coded" stuff that tries to emulate vintage equipment.
On a side note:
I can very carefully but with a massive CAUTION!! also recommend trying out some of the Tone Empire new AI plugins. They have massive potential and sound really unique but are super buggy and the company is shady as f**k and not at all reliable. Still, that dude is on to something in terms of AI deep learning. Such a shame the company is so shady and that the dude doesn't care about bugs or oddities at all. For instance, they all sound vastly different depending on sample rate used. There are also very weird random bugs like the frequency response drastically changing depending on the EQ being pre or post, even if you have no EQ turned on at all. Things like these point to a company that doesn't care at all about quality or nuance. So take all those negatives into consideration if you plan on testing or purchasing from them.
