NO FLUXING WAY! THE FLUX ALCHEMIST REVIEW
"And that's gonna be huge!" :) Well, not after a proper 69.
.. and right now you can get it for 29.99$
One thing I like that you mention was there's no return on your money with plugins. I've spent countless moneys on plugins just to get overwhelmed over what sounds the best which takes hours to mix a single track. Now with hardware I can make a couple of moves that will get me straight to the point. Hardware to me is a longterm investment specially if I fall on hard times. I'm almost a hands on person, clicking a mouse can be boring after you hit a certain age. I have the Comp 2A and love it on my vocal chain to get some tube color. I'm looking to add the 3A to my line up..Nice video!!
Love this channel strip for finishing touch ups on the mix. I like the look of it, the functionality and layout. Great addition to the studio
To be fair, this is more rent to own than a subscription! Once you own all the plugins you no longer need to pay for the Flow service! So if you only use one flow and happen to own all the plugins, you don't ever need to pay. Or once you own all the plugins used in the collection you can cancel and still keep using the Flow plugin. Hope that made sense! In other words, you don't need to continue the subscription to keep using the Flow plugin. Once you own all the plugins or the plugins in the Flows you want to use, you can cancel and continue to use the Flow plugin at no charge.
@@matt_nyc_audioengineer yes...but at 30 points per month and 300 for each plugin...that'll take years...😂
@@StudioLife101 That depends on how many Softube plugs you already own but yes, if you own none, that is correct. You can however pick the plugins up when they are on sale on the website. You don't have to purchase the plugins you don't own already with credits. I'd rather have this then a full-on subscription any day. At least my money is going somewhere every month! Love the show by the way boys, keep it up!
@@matt_nyc_audioengineer 👍
Thanks guys
😂🤣❣
Best channel. As much entertainment as professionally informative.
The UAD Helios was my favorite unison plugin for plugging a guitar straight in for that ratty direct to console fuzz thing. Need to give this a try and see how it sounds with the RME's hi-z input.
It's a couple of EQ curve with a slight satisfaction option....what enoyed me more than the extortionate price was the 30 minute trial with a hissing noise every minute or so....a hissing noise on a 30 minute trial...😤
Did the Helios 760 come in the type 69 desk or was that a compressor Helios made later and Lindell/PA just add it in so the strip had a comp? I would be shocked if this wasn’t the case because I thought these pre 70s desks rarely ever came with in channel compression
Looks nice, but I'm hooked on the Amek 9099 - such a gem.
I was the 69th person to like that post coincidentally 😂 I’ve got it, it’s good
@@user-xg2il9bu1g 👍😂
A little late seeing this video. I would like to see your thoughts on ADPTR Audio's SCULPT. Older plugin, but a lot of people seem to like it (and it recently got an update). Then again, a lot liked this one too. 😄
How about some woke song quotes? 😁 "I'm not a woman, I'm not a man, I'm something you'll never understand" Hint : it wasn't written in a little red corvette in 1999 and it wasn't a sign of the times.. 😁
Another channel strip. I’ve stuck with the UAD API since you mentioned it and love it
@@richertz It's a goodun.👍
The Hair that lost his specticals 🤘💀🍻🔥
I waited an age for this one to be discounted. Got it eventually with one of their Vouchers 👍 Nice little Channel Strip. Did I NEED it ? Wot's 'Need' got to do with it ? 😜
@@KozmykJ 👍😂
I love all of the Lindell plugins. I regularly use the 50 series (API) and 80 series (Neve). This one I don't use as much but it's easy to dial in the sounds and it's a solid channel strip. I also have Lindell's 6X-500 Preamp and you can get some nice saturation.
Love this plugin. Has a great compressor imo. EQ is a bit hard to get used to. 👍
Good Video as always.
I feel the lindell audio plugins are all really freaking good. Just tried there mu emulaton and it was super smooth. The 69 is so good for vintage drums.
The Lindell SBC (the Lindell emulation of the app 2500) is my go to. I even have the official plugin from uad and I still grab the Lindell one over it
Didn’t you know guys were Britney Spears fans 😅. Kidding. That’s where I learned the word ‘prerogative’ by the way. Pretty sure so did Bobby Brown, who had a vocabulary of 12 before he learned of it, and promptly made this song. It’s always a little weird for me, someone who grew up with software, to mix with these YUGE console plugins. But, if they gave us the individual components, it would be so much more useful; you don’t really need everything for every channel. Shame no one has thought of giving us the modules separately. 🎉 Fantastic work.
Sometimes they do... both Waves and UAD sell separate individual components of this Helios channel strip.
@@bobbyweezer but how great would it be if this was sold as the console as well as the individual components? What’s the Waves called?
@@RayTheProducer Kramer HLS and PIE
I like this one also nice vintage non shit vibe !
I had enough of strips, I need a stripper.
becoming my Saturday highlight... Great work guys! What would the plug be like on EDM drums?
@@MrBrownAlliance I think it'll work well....👍
Awesome video
Absolute clownlike behavior from ST. Why in God's name anyone would choose a subscription "sErViCe" over owning their own plugins outright is completely beyond me.
It's not a subscription. It's rent to own. Once you own all the plugins you can continue to use Flow at no charge. That includes if you only use one or two Flows and own those plugins. If that's the case then Flow is completely free to use. Also, as a professional engineer subscription models make perfect sense however, at that point, the plugins pay for themselves. I have many subs but I also earn my income using those plugins so it makes sense for someone like me. For the average "hobbyist" tho, I agree. Subs make no sense.
Softube's been doing some "creative" things with their business model lately it seems. That being said, I think it's time you embrace the dark side and do a special Story Time with Sean & Dan ( & lager) episode!
@@wouterdesmedt1736 Not a bad idea....the pub episode.👍
@@StudioLife101 RUclips needs some more drunken ramblings!
Thumb it in....fucking hell 🤣🤣🤣
So 10 months suscription for 1 plugin. I bet its not as simple as that either knowing Softtube, that DS1-MK3 is never less than 275quid, so I dunno. Seems a lot for what you get.
I still have v6 and quite like it still.
Not a fan of plugin subscriptions. This seems more underhanded than most - I'll stay far away.
😂😂😂🎉
I love your reviews! I pray to see your take on sonible products one day.
@@georgeolteanu4289 THE ULTIMATE AI EQ?? SONIBLE PURE EQ ruclips.net/video/WU1rT09O69I/видео.html
Its not shit , but it smells like shit .. Lol
The Softube plugins are good but I am seeing the company going for an ecosystem for some time. It’s a choice they make but for me a big reason the stay the heck out of it. I don’t want to get stuck in an ecosystem and I would not recommend anyone to use a subscription model.
You guys just keep getting better, and funnier (looking). Love the stories. Softube is da bomb, and I love their Bus Processor and Tape. I don’t ’get’ this, but I have spent a lot of time building my mastering chain, so yeah. But the quality is unimpeachable.
@@RayTheProducer Cheers Ray 👍
I agree it is shit but....... I already own a lot of these plugins and similar. Its well worth a download on the 14 day trial to get a good feel of what is possible. Then cancel. Its stupid that they could do this for free and give other options. I suspect this will flop like UAD spark, then bring the cost of the plugins right down!
You think Spark flopped? Sorry to inform you but that's not the case! Yes, it did help bring the price of the plugins down but Spark is not a flop lol.
Newflangled Audio Mastering Suite fellas? Keep up the great work.
@@MrBrownAlliance I like a bit of New Fangled...we'll have a look soon. 👍
The Softube Flow is for beginners, but the plugins can be used independently, which means you can build your own mastering chain. and you can build a mastering chain with Softube plugins and plugins by other companies. Have you guys reviewed the STL Tones ControlHub? It's basically the same thing with mixing and mastering chains by well-known engineers, and it has Tracer (captures hardware like a Kemper), but the plugins can't be used independently
@@scotteepunk Gonna have to try STL Control Hub soon. Heard some weird demos and seen some paid promos. I love a Kemper...so will be interesting.👍
I like Flow -- and appreciate what you're saying about the subscription creep. - I suppose that's Softube's way of trying to hook folks. Owning many of the included Flow plugins already, I appreciate being able to use Flow with those perpetual plugins, at no additional cost (nor subscription). And not supporting other plugins inside of Flow... there are other mix bus insert slots that can be used. If you don't own the perpetual licenses to the plugins you want in Flow, then it becomes a decision on whether the subscription is worth it. In that situation, I'm more aligned with your perspective. However, as a owner of some/all of Flow's included plugins, I don't think it's "shit."
@@edmasters4454 In your situation, it's a good option...👍
Yeah no
I currently have this only because if you complete one flow you can cancel the subscription and keep using the plug in with only the plugins that you own within that flow. I only need one more plugin to have the weiss set up
@@mostwett Ahhh....Good tip.👍
I got all the Weiss plugs, can’t wait to try the flow when I get time.
@@audionerdlilcuz check it out fam ! Weiss is GOLD
Its justca plugin wrapper with some macro controls 🤣
but plugins are included and you can use them seperately
Sorry if u already did it but can you review Soundtheories Kraftur? Same peole who made gullfoss.
@@Swiftopher755 Will do.👍
@StudioLife101 cheers guys!
Paying $14.99 ...in 10 years you`ll have the full strip paid with credits.....bargain.😄
I hate it when companies try to treat me like a sucker, even if I like their products. Like the waves wup. Well forget about them and move on. Plenty of excellent plugins from decent companies.

@@sysxtem Couldn't agree more..👍 😂
Get to the Clippah!
