Really YouTube, a 9-minutes long unskippable ad?

Anyway what are your guys favorite acoustic audio plugins that you would want on a desert island as opposed to a dessert island?

I'm pretty new to Acustica, but once I got a taste I became an addict quick. 😆

In the last 3 months I've purchased Mystic, El Rey2, Opalcomp, Ash, Jam, Salt, Cherry, and a bundle including Gold, Sand, and Pink.

I'll probably end the year with Tulip and Ultramarine added to the collection.

In addition to the Acquas I've mentioned, I've trialed Smoke, Straw, and Cardinal.

They all sound good, but I heard nothing that stands out against the one's I already own.

Olive'll probably be the last one I try, then I'm done.

It is very difficult for me to pick favorites because I the way they all sound.

However, there are a some that stand out for me.

El Rey and Ultramarine are smooth and colorful.

The Sand compressor glues things together nicely.

Salt and Cherry adds flavor to my tracks and busses.

And last, but not least, Jam adds the thickness I like.

Alright let's go with six!
1. Gold - Preamps (especially stereo bus pres), comp, EQs
2. Sand - Preamps, The Glue
3. Brown - Preamps, EQ, comp
4. Ivory - Great for mastering/shaping, Limiter
5. Taupe - Ampex, Studer 15 ips stereo plus the Studer EQ and comp are really nice
6. Ultramarine - 670, plus 627 EQ

Thanks Adam. Good video! I went with Salt today. I think the gold in it is a bit more than a 1073 for sure.
