Mid: +6dB compare the attached files, just for fun -)Įdit: ok I found out the right-click/values features.
Whatever, sound and spirit of the W295 are there and the Drive knob seems exciting. So maybe that's why the toms sound more precise, sounding louder. That said, the plugin adds extra low mids to the voice (and to the toms too I guess). The Sie-Q definitely competes with those plug-ins and has become my go-to plug-in for high or mid band boosting as well as adding saturation. On the other side, low mid sound more punchy and detailed on the Sie-Q. Following, the hardware one sounds more open, silky and coherent imo. There are additional effect rack presets using Sie-q.
Soundtoys sie q download#
If you have others Soundtoys, also download the new 5.1 update. The main difference I noticed is the mid EQ is sounding more pinched on the Sie-Q, maybe a bit narrower Q than the original. There have been a few reports of a distortion issue, if you get this put a gain plugin -12 before, and another after +12 for makeup. And applied the plugin on the dry recorded file then. So as to be the most transparent I tracked the song through the Siemens twice, once with and the other without W295 EQ. I didn't play with the Drive, even it looks to be great but here was not the target. Not a whole complete shootout but some EQ on a song, trying to setup the closest one on the plugin (despite there's no knob value display) and compare. Was curious so I compared Sie-Q and the W295b of my Siemens Sitral console.
Soundtoys sie q upgrade#
I am probably just going to wait until the next big sale and upgrade to the bundle. Primal Tap is by far the best delay/modulation plug I have tried, it's spectacular. UAD's EMT 140 beats both, but Little Plate is my native alternative right now. Little Plate actually has a nicer reverb tail than Abbey Road Plates from Waves, which I luckily only spent 29$ on. Their new (was free) little plate is great too (though I'm a heavy relab LX480 kinda guy mostly).Yeah I've been actually very impressed with their plugs so far - I have the Tremolo, Primal Tap, and the Little Plate. Like pretty much all of soundtoys stuff, it's 1st class and awesome. Its Mid band provides six thoughtfully-placed center frequencies that let you dial back or accentuate mid. sometimes I'll prefer Slate's Custom EQ for mix bus shaping and will do hi shelf on The Custom EQ if needed (don't always need it on mix bus anyway). Overall, Sie-Q is a very gentle and musical equalizer. Though I do tend to go more towards PSP's E27 for the high shelf (gorgeous eq) sometimes the SIE-Q just fits better and is easier to dial in for that source.
It's every bit as good (if not better) than the old Acqua SILK (nebula). It's a beauty, very simple but sometimes all you need.
