I talked to John for a bit today. Here's some updates: Hold down shift and use the mouse to fine tune the plugin knobs (similar to CTRL on like a REAPER fader). Reset a knob to default by using CTRL/CMD click. He is also fixing the bug in the LA-2A plugin so that will be resolved.
Hello, can I download these plugins for cakewalk by bandlab ?
@@HotBoyRob1105 Hi, no, these are built in the REAPER specific JS language, so they only work in REAPER.
While I would of hit Like, Subscribe, and Rang the Bell for just the intro joke alone?
I genuinely am digging your content mi amigo.
Former touring/recording/performing Gen-Xer, and parent of an 8 yr old.
Glad I stumbled across your channel.
Cheers!
I've never used it myself, but there's a VST-wrapper for JSFX-code called ReaJS. This means you can run ReaJS plugins in any VST-compatible host (there may be fringe exceptions)
@@EasyHeat Man, you got into the baby making game late. You walking with a cane, dad?
Bet you wish you got started earlier! I sure do, as a music making/playing dad. I've got a wasted decade in there. I mean, a lot of great memories from that time, a lot of life lessons learned, that lost decade made me who I am today, so can't fully regret it, but damn, if I knew how GOOD making and raising babies was, I woulda started a decade earlier, and had 5 more kids!
But now, it's my kid's first year in college... we're empty nesters now. Like, me, I'm an empty nester.... WTF!
My heart aches like I can't describe. Remember breaking up with your first love, how devastating that was? This is 100x worse. 1000x... it's incomparable.
So proud of my kid. They've so far avoided most of my profound mistakes, so my suffering is finally paying dividends.
On the plus side of empty nesting, you can finally start eating things you like, the way you like, again. Like, "hello mushroom!" And you can have just a salad for dinner, or no dinner at all.
A lot more time for musical activities.
You can engage in proper love at proper volume levels again, if your business even works anymore...
But these are insignificant concessions, for me at least, to the greatest loss of my life.
So, a little dad advice, from one dad to another, CHERISH the time you have with your kid, because, as I'm sure you're becoming aware, time is not linear, it passes exponentially, and that 8 yo you love will soon be gone for ever... they'll be a 9 y.o., then a 16 yo, then actually gone. Oh, and the early teenage years are the worst, btw, going through puberty for the second time in your life... who knew it would come back around and get you a second time...like once is enough!
But, seriously, your nest will be empty before you know it, and everything you lived for will be gone, off making their way into adulthood, and self-sufficiency. It is excruciating. I'm just letting you know now. Seize every day, they are fleeting.
Tukan plugins are a game changer, especially if you consider CPU ressources saving.
Good point on CPU, stay tuned for a follow-up video and I'll be sure to cover CPU.
daam that quick plugin bypass/comparison switching is awesome,
I learned something new today :)
Great video thanks
I'm so impressed with the Tukan plugins.
Thanks for demonstrating some of the Tukan (ding) Studios plugins! Very informative!
I think it's amazing that everyone can get these great looking plugins for no charge at all. At the same time I conclude, that these plugins doesn't behave as expected compared to other emulations. In the end you can get similar results but with different apporaches. Tukan (ding) can get you where you want in a nice looking and fun way! I did notice, that in the dynamics area the "hard-coded" ones sounds a little bit more smooth. I don't know if the Jesuonic platform, which is an interpreted "language", might be limited by DSP processing speed..?
ding!
Thanks for explaining and comparing. Much appreciated.
You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it!
yo this video came up in my suggestions here and i decided to give these plugins a try and holy hell i was able to get a good solid mix really quickly
Nice! I wouldn't mind hearing it if you want to share!
Good review- thanks Adam!
Thanks, Dad!
Great Vid Dad! i also noticed the same thing with the Tape plugin. doesnt seem to be a Master Bus kind of Tape but definitely sounds good on individual tracks.
Yeah I definitely want to try the Tape one on my room mic trick for drums. I think it will help tame the harshness of the cymbals really well.
OMG... As a dad, I'm commanding you: NEVER tell that joke again.
bahahhaha!
Thanks for the great information and great video. I did notice you mentioned something about your mouse with a clutch. Just wondering if you could share a little bit more about what type of mouse that is. Thanks again great video.
Yeah, it's a Razer Basilisk v2 that I got off of Amazon. It has 2 buttons below the scroll wheel to move up and down through various speeds (you can customize the various speed levels) and there's a clutch button that when pressed down moves to the lowest speed level. It's very nice, but it is a wired mouse. Since I'm at a desktop I don't have issues with it, it's nice to not have to worry about batteries.
Please do a video on the guitar plugin. No one has done one yet and it looks pretty decent
I'm definitely not a guitarist, but I'll see what I can do with it. Might be a good video for another project I have in mind.
🙏🌺😇
Thanks. Out of interest, what Reaper theme is that?
It's a theme that White Tie modified based on the v6 default theme. I like a few subtle improvements that it has over the default v6 so I've been using it for the past few years. Here's the link if you're interested: forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=230623
@@HiCZcamsImDad thanks 😊
For some reason when I installed the Tukan stuff the Loudness Meter in Reaper no longer works.
Hmm I haven't run into that. Have you tried updating the Tukan plugins? He's been adding a lot of fixes lately.
Sorry to hear about this. Tukan plugins can't interfere with other plugins and their installation. (I wouldn't know how) This really seems to be coincidence. :)
@@johnmatthews8435 Ok, thanks. Love the plugins!
Have you used the new Tukan plugins? Which one is your favorite?
The Fruit Loop one.
he looks so angry tho!
The Dis-Treasure so far is my fav
Why the head honchos at Reaper have not already made the Tukan plugins available stock when you download Reaper is just beyond me!!!
Tukan plugins are third party. The REAPER devs opened up APIs and programming interfaces so that third party plugin devs can write their own. There are thousands of third party plugins that work withing the JS language for REAPER.
@@HiCZcamsImDad Yeah, I am aware of that and what I'm saying is that Cockos need to cut John a check and make his plugins first-party and included with Reaper by default. They are too good to not get such treatment imo. I've replaced half of the plugins in my day-to-day workflow with Tukan plugins!
Lol
that first tukan plug in sounded fizzy,did not like it at all!
The Pultec? I didn't really get that one. It scooped all the midrange out.
Not to be hatein,but that first one needs some work.The other ones did sound pretty good though especially for free stuff!
@@skratchtat Yeah it seems like the Pultec doesn't really emulate how the rest of the plugins out there do it. Now that said, it's possible that he emulated it off of a specific piece of hardware (maybe a Pultec clone instead of the real one?) Not sure exactly.
Fixed in the last update for the plugin. Now it matches the original EQ-curves. :) (It really was a wrong calibration of parameters/bug)
@@johnmatthews8435 I love it,your awesome for stepping up!
I know that everything Reaper is sometimes tending to be a little cult-like... but these Tukan hype is going to far. All his plugs sound in s way anemic. And they are hyping the output. You have to level match them. For the pultec... The Analog Obsession uses way too much CPU, the Tukan sounds brittly and shitty, the one closest to an original and with the least CPU usage and without the need of level matching is the old Softie Pultec emulation.
Tukans plugs are not really there. Not even close.
Stay tuned for this week's video, I cover some of these things.
Since last update the EQT matches the original EQ-Curves. About the LA-1A, see my video about it...just examples... I don't think they're not close ;) ...nevermind, you do not need to use them.
@@johnmatthews8435 Oh just you wait, new video this week! :)
Interesting but I don't think that the exact settings is a "fair" way of comparing to different Plugins. Unless they are made the same if they are built differently then the travel of the knobs are going to be different etc internal design we're talking about the original being made years ago. I used this compressor and wow it is extremely musical which is odd to say, but it just brought out sounds from the track I used it on it was great. Don't care about the original in that sense, ( if I had one then fine) I care how this one sounds.
Thank you so much for this review - I only recently found those plugins and what I really appreciate about them - apart from their sound quality - is that they are lightweight and "for free" (I would love to donate some money but would prefer a one-off payment) - which allows me to use them in shared projects (in my case home and studio). With the increasing numbers of home studios etc., collaborative scenarios become more and more common - I gave this problem some thoughts and found that with daw projects (with rather large data volumes, plugin issues etc.) it is actually not quite that simple (especially when not only effects but also vst-instruments come into play) - which is why I gave this problem some more thoughts and came up with MuCol (standing for MusiCollaboration, a system based on some Reaper-scripts) which allows you to generate instrument specific subprojects from a main project and automates the exchange of recordings and backtracks - more details on www.mucol.ch if anybody is interested.
