Sound demo's start at 26:30
shit that's too much talking hahah
One trick of the MA is the calibration point, used to change it for every project on my HW #21, maybe the Pollock comp next Chris designed warm natural piece of HW’s
Tone Projects done it really well with Unison, Kelvin and Bass and now the MA, good job guys
This Michaelangelo is worth every penny, bought it yesterday…..by the way the HCL Islander you reviewed sold me on that plugin….. 👍
The music is like old Genesis from 1976. The plugin is very good....
This sounds real sweet!
Great review!
Thanks for review
Hello there.
Thank you for your in depth review of this great piece of audio evolution.
One part of the video caught my attention when you mentioned cross talk and width etc and you said you use other software
to achieve something similar, I would be very interested to know what plugins you meant by that .
Cheers and rock on!
I can recommend Leapwing StageOne 2, great tool for width/depth
There’s also crosstalk available on Softube’s tape emulation plugin. Which can do a similar thing with imaging
@@sub-jec-tiv I own this. Have to revisit it cause I forgotten it . Also the Soninus Console A has it. Very nice tool
Bass player is slaying it 🔥
Where isn’t Tony levin?
Thank you so much for such a great video. How does it compare to the hardware unit? thanks,
This unit is so musical and it got the analog mojo…
The guitar sample sounds like a great blend of Beck/Holdsworth.
Thanks for this detailed review and demo, Mark. What are your opinions on the CPU use of the plugin? Can this be used on multiple tracks or buses simultaneously or is it better when used as a tone shaper on the master bus for the mix as a whole?
🤙🤙
Great review, as always. Have you had a look at Acustica Audio's Salt yet? Quite an amazing piece of kit as well. I'm totally digging that one. I'll have to give this one a try.
Acustica’s killing lately. Salt is great. It’s great to have some of their stuff in the tool kit, great to have the convolution options. I especially love their Manley bundle Magenta, the 60s Neve stuff Gold, & their Fairchild bundle Ultramarine. Tulip is fantastic too (Polygram’s vintage custom desk)
This particular plugin though, the Michelangelo, is a different beast due to how the bands interact in real time. So if you can afford both… 😉
@brainswashedthisway Thanks! Yes, I'm going to demo this one for sure. I do really like their Unisum and Kelvin. For Acustica, right now I'm working with Tulip (love it), Cardinal, El Rey2, Taupe, and Lava, which work amazingly well with my acoustic jazz, roots, and folk recordings, which is what I mostly do. I seem to be able to get very natural tones from those that I wasn't able to achieve with a lot of other plugins. I think the convolution technology lends itself very well to acoustic instruments. I'm sure it's just my inexperience but something clicked right away with me with the Acustica stuff, especially on my upright bass. I'm thinking of getting Salt before their intro price disappears. I'm really liking how that one sounds too. I'll have to A/B it with Michelangelo. I'm a day job guy with a weekend passion for jazz gigs and some recording, so not really enough cash for both 😀
@@jimslominski8006 cool i like Taupe too. Salt is more of a ‘bread and butter’ EQ, while Michelangelo is what i’d call a ‘character EQ.’ It depends on what you need. If you have some smooth Acustica EQ already with Tulip and Cardinal, the Michelangelo might be a good move.
Nice video mate nice eq but overpriced for me maybe its closed enough to hardware but remains software many people cant afford the price keep the good work although!!
Who is the artist?
That's my album, about to be released next month.
@@heronislandstudio8054 wow, just gorgeous.
Thanks!@@dyrossmusic
@@heronislandstudio8054Great fretless basslines! Who's playing?
@@andriesdelange6881 Percy Jones
Honestly, I start to regret not buying it at intro/black friday price. I didn't think I need another eq or saturator, especially another one from Tone Projects. Basslane wasn't for me, Kelvin wasn't quite there (still great tho), and so I've ignored the next release, but now, after watching a couple of vids on Michelangelo, I have to admit that this plugin is on Unisum level, and Unisum to me is the greatest plugin compressor there is
