Cores are like improvements in audio engine that would enhance sound, usability, better timings for compressors, attack modifications other than the hardware (SHMOD), SASM (Symmetric & Asymmetric Saturation Modeling) which is a high performance saturation algorithm and of course less CPU consumption. Then we had a new improvement with every new Core release. AA means compromises in workflow and speed for better sound fidelity. It was slower but being a nebula user that was so much faster and the GUI so much better. When deadlines are approaching, nobody cares what pre you used and if it's algo or not, you just have to do the damn work with what you have, make it sound great and be on time.įast forward to first Aqua plugins and I jumped on the hype train again because this time everything was so much straight forward and I didn't have to fiddle with xml pages anymore. I quit using Nebula when v4 came out which is strange because most problems were gone by that time but I was tired with fiddling, I wanted to have the best results with minimal effort and I had to look elsewhere. I swear I 've never seen so well written manual and as a "President of RTFM global foundation", that alone had my hat off from the first moments. I remember running them to a CUDA graphics card and thinking that this might be the future of audio, something that was abandoned from the company aswell as the NAT recorder which allowed you to capture your own hardware with a minimal documentation for a complex procedure.īut funilly enough what made me felt in love with AA, was their super detailed and culturally enriched manuals. You had to modify the parameters inside an xml file to make them sound proper and basically you have to be a hacker to get a "good" sound out of em. Now, the first 3 versions of Nebula was nightmare. However, some have endured the test of time. This is achieved by using a technique called Volterra analysis, which involves analyzing the response of a system to multiple input signals.Īgain, 10+ years ago they were nearly as many developers as they are now and the quality was not even comparable by today's standards. One of the key features of VVK technology is its ability to accurately reproduce the nonlinear behavior of analog components. This technology is designed to provide a high level of accuracy in the digital reproduction of analog audio equipment by using advanced mathematical algorithms to model the behavior of analog components and circuits. This different feeling that things are not static.įor those who don't know : AA is using Vectorial Volterra Kernels Technology. I always had a vision: since recorded digital audio is 0-1, you only need the right code to emulate this analog perfection to sound just like hardware. I am collecting plugins all these years so I have heard some crazy, some good and some crazy good plugins. I found Nebula (V1) around 10 years ago almost at the middle of my ongoing career which is counting 22 years already. Grab a beer or make a tea and start reading. Soon we will have the whole catalog of Acustica Audio (AA) and here are some background history for the company from the scope of a biased fan boy.
