DAS SL9000 - Bread and butter

Hello,

I have a question regarding general mixing and scope.

Today i am using the ST2448 mixer ( i think its named). which have a EQ and compressor pr. channel stripe. But i see that the SL9000 is not that expensive on the sonic core shop. first.. will it work on scope 4.0 on mac (i can't see that it dosnt). and the next more important question is. How heavy is the plug in use? i have a 9-dsp system.. running no synths. only mixing. i would like to run around 5-10 of them in stereo i guess. And is it this kind of bread and butter plug? and is it a great improvement from the build into STS2448??

Rgs

Its good, but the C350 is better.

it was double the price! and i was afraid it would demand more dsp!? is this correct??

what does it means to be better in terms of sound? is it universal, or genre spesific?

Well, I would say the filters ( EQ ). I believe what happened was that DAS created a specialised filtering algorithm outside of the limitations of the standard Scope SDK atoms. They use it in other plugins including MASTERIT and Legend. So there is a special DAS sound, which to my ears gives a more high-end classic sound to it.

At least, I bought MASTERIT then bought the other two on the basis of that filter sound.

You can email to S|C or DAS and see if there are any demo versions of the plugins to hear for yourself.

On a 12 DSP system, I was running MASTERIT, 2 x C350 (vocals) and 2 x Legend (guitars) plus mixer and some other stuff at the same time.

If I only had 9DSP I would probably make seperate mixing and mastering projects, using the C350 / Legend for mixing project, then the MASTERIT for mastering seperately.
