Thanks for digging into the BB N73! We're really happy you like it and we appreciate you putting this together. ⚡

[M.W.]

I truly understood the magic of this plugin, when I inserted it on an already existing mix. It really did help to glue things together in an unexpected way. Words like: "Whoa...What the??"" came out of my mouth! Highly recommended!

Got this today it sounds great, and BB N105 is still my go to Neve channel strip

Hey Uncle D! I see you're the first to do an honest review of this new plugin by kit. I really appreciate your honesty and not selling out just for scribes to boost your channel. then you never have to do that anyway because you're such a great educator and have a big following. I must say you're one of the few channels I support and watch. I didn't realize until I scroll down and just see all the hype surrounding the music recording industry its a bunch of misinformation out there. A lot of us newbies are sprouting up at record paces trying to cram years of hard work into a couple of months or years without putting the work in and getting quick fixes. There are no instant overnight sensation engineers. I myself been doing this for only 11 years now and still struggle a little at times but has gotten a whole lot better but only through the hard way of grinding. I've released music on all the media platforms that I'm proud of but know it can be better. I'm thinking about one of your courses instead of looking at the next great plugin or gear I'm always buying which I can't afford but make it happen some way. I'm in the process of getting my first outboard gear. A pre and a compressor of some sort to track. I guess it couldn't hurt I want to see and hear what this so call analog vibe is all about to see if I'm really missing something in my mixes. again Dave thanks for all you do for the recording community.

Thanks for the video demo Bro.David. I purchased this plugin today, it sounds good & didnot regret it.

I absolutely love the BB N105. I know there is a lot of 73 emulation plug ins out there. But I do love what kit has done and utilize in all my projects. So I'm excited to see how this one lives up. Alright let's watch! Thank you

It’s interesting that it seems to add a 2-3dB of treble just turning it on. I will say though, it’s probably the least harsh top end I’ve heard on one of these 1073 EQ plugins. PS it’s likely a 12k shelf, that’s what the 1073 is.

[fendergk]

Thanks for the review and insight! I have to say Im blown away how amazing the 1073 sounds, the best Ive tried so far! Bravo @kitplugins! Id like to hear how it stacks up against the UA version!

[tonygraham]

Sounds great man... really digging that

[Skkyyyyyyyyyyy]

Damn. It sounds really good. Has that classic neve sound that I remember. I love how you didn’t do much to show off the plugin and yet the audio speaks for itself. Night and day difference. Is there a noticeable change when you simply insert the plugin on every channel?

[weedywet]

I'd really like to hear a direct, level matched, comparison against the Waves Scheps 1073 and the UADx 1073

[danielkirby]

Thanks for your honesty. Great review. Continue your great work.

Blackbird also known as musician heaven! Thanks for the review!

[AJOrpheo]

Hum and added noise has always been an interesting thing to me. Cause part of me is confused why I'd want it, but I know that a little noise can actually make some sources sound a bit thicker and more filled out. So I guess its nice to have then not!

Hey thanks for the great demo!
I downloaded the 14 day trial of this plugin after watching your video. I thought the plugin looks cool (it does!), and you explained how it works really well. Last night I spent about 2 hours A/B testing it against the Waves Scheps 73 expecting some kind of magic from this new plugin...unfortunately, to my ears it doesn't do anything other than be yet ANOTHER 1073 emulation but without the function of MS like the Scheps 73! It probably sounds a tiny bit more polished than the Scheps 73, but not enough to warrant the (discounted?!) $75 price tag IMO. One other thing I noticed, was that if you switch between presets then, it resets the tool tips/fader/autogain functions to default which is almost as annoying as the UI not automatically resising to fit my second monitor size - like all my other plugins from various manufacturers do! I'd be really interested to see your take on this if you were to A/B test the KIT BBN73 against other 1073 plugins. Thanks again!

The kick drum use was very nice. Do you have the Acustica version of the 1073? Not sure what "color" to which they ascribe it. Yes, link the Master buss!! I've downloaded the demo. I have Core compressor..it is terrific on bass and bass drum.

[angelopresta]

Great Video ! please do the comparison video betweent this emulation and other popular ones such as uad and waves scheps 73

[DeRaNgEdOfficial]

I currently own ik multimedia & arturia versions. Please compare

[andrealoverde]

Tried this and the BB N105… but I always end up with either the UAD 1073 or the Lindell 80… their low end is soooo “3D”

[bontempo]

Sounds good, i gotta hear it compared with the hardware, as usual 😛 Thanks for getting this review out here so quick !
