I think I have a working Routing setup in Reaper, using 2 instances of GENESIS for the Dangerous 2 BUS presets.

Do you have a post listing showing how you set it up ? I wouldn't mind seeing that to confirm what I've done.

Appreciate.

Well ... ok ...

But I think the DEV team needs to visit this, as I've not found the VU meter lining up with my measuring tools I use throughout my Mastering chains.

thanks.

So, I tried AG and found that in a quick test, I could probably run twice the number of Etherium instances before Pro Tools gives up. Pro Tools meters go into red at around 23 instances. However, I tried Genesis on just one track before, in a mastering situation, and it seems that if you run more than two or three instances on the same track in pro tools, it goes bananas, but I can run well over 20 of them as long as they are spread out over different tracks. Audio Gridder helps a lot with the problem of running several heavy plugins on the same track (often the master bus). I had Activity Monitor running to see how much the cpu really was working. The meter in Pro Tools is not always telling the truth... On the actual true CPU meter, there actually is no difference in how much cpu is being used, but PT caves in well before the actual CPU limit is reached. In fact, running just one instance taxes the CPU more through audio gridder, which makes sense, since AG needs some juice to run. But as an example, just one instance of Genesis Etherium registers almost 30 percent of Pro Tools Cpu, whereas it only is 1-2 percent of the actual computer CPU. In pro tools, a lot of plugins use insane amounts of cpu, and most dont move the bars at all. So, it has got to do with the AAX coding. Acoustica are among the worst in that regard and Pulsar Modular are pretty heavy in Pro Tools as well, as is Oeksound Bloom to name a few. Ozone is heavy as well, but it runs a lot of processes...

So, in short AG lets me use more instances of heavy plugins in Pro Tools and helps out the most on the master bus for chaining the really good and heavy plugins.

Just tried this out for the first time and the metering is certainly a lot different than what I am used to seeing and more importantly hearing? Very odd, but if I totally ignore that supposed VU meter I seem to be able to get a decent sound out of it. Very early on with it and it's only the demo but it is an uncomfortable way of working. Hopefully I'll have some time later today to dig in a bit deeper and read the manual once again.

Private message me, I'll send you screenshots.

Just tried the new sonimus Neve console plugin and it sounds pretty good. No where near as analog as the analog x Neve profiles though. The profiles just have more depth to me, better saturation and the Neve smear. I don't work for the company too 😎

what Neve profile did you try?

Genesis crashes PluginDoctor like crazy...please fix

Your ears should tell you all you need to know. Not being a d*ck here ..well trying not to be. Plugin Doctor never quite tells the whole story.

We need a Stereo version of Genesis!
Now please!

I agree Synth but was interested to see those analog eq curves on some profiles...

I hear you, sometimes I don't want to know why something sounds good as it takes the mystery out of it he he.

You can use Fabfilter Pro Q 4, I know I don't use it as an EQ any more. I use it to look at audio freqs.

Win-10, Genesis VST-3 ... PlugDoc.

Not crashing here ... just for info.

2. PlugDoc can be useful [if one understands WHAT the info it provides .... as well as its LIMITATION, is something I use in beta-testing ... or any curiosity.

Maybe he just needs to check out or match some curves. That doesn't mean he's hearing with his eyes or trying to decode the "analog sound" by looking at a graph

It would be great if we could create our own files of our tools using Genesis.
Please

I think you can do that already.

If you click one of the three buttons in the upper right area [maybe middle one], it'll take you to the 'sampling' site.

I've not explored that area, other than to briefly look ... [or I confused it with a different/similar type program].

Yes I now here is on I have made https://gearspace.com/board/attachme...d-vibe.nam.zip

Sound massive in a stereo player!

yes ... I saw you post the other day. Still need to check out the Preset.

I must have misunderstood your initial post regarding the option to make your own personal presets. Seems you already knew.
