I don’t normally like to quote the marketing on these plugins, but when they say ‘God-like clean tones’ they are NOT kidding. Although I can see why that might take up too much space in the user interface. The ‘deep’ knob on the right side of the interface might as well be labeled the “get rid of any semblance of a plugin and make this sound like a real amp” knob. I popped in a quick rhythm track using my Les Paul and the Diezel Herbert in a unison slot and was absolutely blown away. We’ve come a long way from ‘Nigel’ (shout out to you long-time UA users!). I had no idea what a Diezel was going to sound like, and all I can say is… wow. Honestly, I get more excited about the amp emulations I’ve never heard of than the ones I know. The Diezel amp emulation was the ‘sleeper hit’ for me. I think we’re only just beginning to see how folks use this. Honestly, with how easy it is to dial in some subtle pitch correction, I’m not going to be that surprised if we see an evolution of our use of this plugin much like using ‘stages’ of gentle compression as opposed to Thor’s hammer of dynamics. Dropping this plugin in Console allows you to apply some real subtle and transparent ‘help’ in the tracking phase.
One of the coolest features, though, is the ability to correct in real-time while tracking. Realtime MIDI input is a plus, making it way more clean and accurate if you have a phrase you just want to play in specifically.
As an avid user of Auto-Tune, I didn’t think that we’d be getting an updated version that matched the feature set and graphical interface of the more current native version - but UA and Antares responded rather quickly to this one! This updated version really streamlines the user interface, adds that coveted (and somewhat cult-ish) “Auto-Tune 5” mode for those of you that want to use this as more of an effect than a correction.
