  • Nomad Factory BT Tempo Delays DL3D
    moosers's review

    The Nomad Factory BT Tempo Delay DL3D is an in depth delay plug-in that comes with the Blue Tubes Effects Pack. The bundle has six plug-ins in total, with this being the only true delay of the bunch. I don't have the bundle at home so I wasn't involved with installing this at all. Learning to use the plug-in isn't as easy as some of the others in the bundle, but it's still not very difficult, although there is a lot to be aware of here. The effect has three separate tempo delays that can be set to a few different rhythms and each have their own level and panning control. It then has a BPM parameter to sync it up to your track, as well as a mix parameter and general knobs for feedback, output, and a high and low pass filter. I haven't seen a manual for this plug-in or the others in the bundle, and I don't think one is really needed as this is going to be easy enough for most to figure out on their own. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE The studio I work at has this bundle and the Nomad Factory BT Tempo Delay DL3D plug-in on a few different systems. I've used it on two separate systems for the most part, with both of them being used in Pro Tools HD. Our main room has a Mac Pro desktop computer with 10 GB of RAM and dual 2.66 Ghz Intel Xeon processors. I've never had a problem running nearly anything here, so this has been no different for me. As for LE users (or comparable systems), I don't think you'll have much trouble running this as long as your system is currently capable of handling some plug-ins. OVERALL OPINION The Nomad Factory BT Tempo Delay DL3D is a great plug-in to have in any collection. It's easy to use while it still provides you with a lot of control between the three separate delays found here. It's got a full overall sound that I've found nice for using on vocals, guitars, and anything else where you might want a lot of delay. It's not the best for slapback, but is still effective when it comes to a number of different types of delays. I'm not sure if you can purchase this as an individual plug-in, but it's worth checking out the full BT Effects Pack either way as it perfect for those looking for new plugs on the cheap.

  • Nomad Factory Blue Tubes Dynamics
    moosers's review

    The Nomad Factory Blue Tubes Dynamics Pack is a plug-in bundle consisting of six dynamic processing plug-ins. Included in the bundle are the BT Brickwall BW-2S, BT Compressor CP-2S, BT Deesser DS-2S, BT Compressor FA770, BT Expander Gate GX622, and the BT Limiter LM-2S plug-ins. The bundle only costs $200 US dollars for the full bundle, and I believe you can buy all of the plug-ins individually in it for $89 US dollars, so it's definitely worth it to check out the full bundle. You can buy it directly from Nomad's site and it's available for virtually all DAWs and for PC and Mac operating systems. Specifically, it comes in VST, RTAS, AudioUnit plug-in formats and you authorize it using a code rather than an iLok, which is nice if you don't have an iLok already. The plug-ins share similar looking interfaces and they're all pretty easy to use, with varying degrees of course. I haven't seen a manual for the bundle nor any of the individual plug-ins... SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE I don't own the Nomad Factory Blue Tubes Dynamics Pack at home, but use it frequently at the studio where I work. We have a bunch of studios on site, with all of them being Pro Tools HD based. Our main room has a Mac Pro computer with 10 GB of RAM and dual 2.66 Ghz Intel Xeon processors. It's more than enough to run RTAS versions of these plug-ins, as we never have any problems at all running plug-in. I don't know how well it would run on LE type systems, but as long as you have a system that can comfortably run your current plug-ins, I wouldn't think you'd have any problems. OVERALL OPINION The Nomad Factory Blue Tubes Dynamics Pack is one of the best ways to get a plethora of dynamic processing plug-ins at a very cheap price. It's only $200 US dollars and you're getting six plug-ins of a high quality and of a good variety. There's two different limiters, two different compressors, a gate/expander, and a deesser, so you're definitely getting a nice variety of different plug-ins here. It's the perfect starter pack for those just building up a plug-in collection, as it's super cheap and is borderline professional in terms of sound quality. If you're thinking about buying one of these plug-ins individually, I'd highly encourage you to go with the whole bundle as it's really a great deal of savings and is some of the best bang for your buck I've found in a plug-in bundle.

  • Nomad Factory BT Dual-Analog Chorus CH2S
    moosers's review

    The Nomad Factory BT Dual-Analog Chorus CH2S is a plug-in for your DAW that is one of six in the Blue Tubes Effects Pack. I don't think you can buy this as an individual plug-in, but I'm not 100% sure on this. The plug-in is pretty in depth and unique because it's got two separate LFO's, hence the name 'Dual Chorus.' Each of the two choruses has parameters for waveform, rate and depth, as well as delay, panning, and a high and low pass filter. It has it's own panning section with rate and depth as well as further overall control with high and low EQ control, input and output levelers, and an overall mix parameter. Lastly, it has a built in limiter button for light touching. As you can probably tell, there's a ton that can be done with the plug-in and is one of the only kinds of it's type that I've seen in terms of having two separate choruses in one. I'm unaware of what the manual might offer. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE Sine I don't own Nomad's Blue Tubes Effects Pack, I'm not running the Dual-Analog Chorus CH2S at home, but rather have used it a bunch at the studio where I'm working. All of our systems our Pro Tools HD, with the main system I've used it on having a Mac Pro desktop computer with 10 GB of RAM and dual 2.66 Ghz Intel Xeon processors. This isn't a great judge of how well the plug-in runs, as we never have issues running plug-ins. I would think that as long as you're comfortable in running your DAW, you should be okay with this plug-in. OVERALL OPINION The Nomad Factory BT Dual-Analog Chorus CH2S is a great plug-in to have for anyone's DAW. It's more than just your average chorus plug-in as it's got dueling LFO's for further possibilities and thicker sounds. It's the chorus plug-in I love to mess around with at the studio and definitely wish I had it at home. If there's a sound that I get with it that I can't live without, I'll print it right then and there, but most of the time I like to wait until mixing. The Blue Tubes Effects Pack is an overall awesome and very inexpensive bundle of plug-ins that's well worth considering for any DAW owner.

  • Nomad Factory BT Logical Gate Expander GX622
    moosers's review

    The Nomad Factory Blue Tubes Logical Gate Expander GX622 is a plug-in that's a part of Nomad's Blue Tubes Dynamics Pack. The bundle has six in total, with this one being the only gate/expander of the bunch. I don't own the bundle and have only used it at the studio where I work, so I wasn't at all involved with the installation process. It shouldn't be hard anyway, as you install the full bundle at once. Using the plug-in should be just as easy, but of course it helps if you have basic knowledge of how to use a gate. The plug-in gives you parameters for attack, hold, decay, range, threshold, and both a high and low pass filter. There's also a VU meter which can be set to show either input or output level. It does have a good amount of parameters for a gate/expander, but I like having the control for sure. I haven't checked out the manual for this plug-in at all. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE The studio I work at has the Nomad Factory BT Logical Gate Expander GX622 and the Blue Tubes Dynamics Pack running on all of our systems, which are Pro Tools HD based. Our main room, which is the one I've used it on most, has a Mac Pro desk top computer with 10 GB or RAM and dual 2.66 Ghz Intel Xeon processors. I've used it on the other systems, but all of them run it about the same since they're Pro Tools HD to being with. It runs flawlessly here, but I can't really say how well it would run on an LE system or something similar... OVERALL OPINION The Nomad Factory BT Logical Gate Expander GX622 is effective and has a lot to work with, although it's not the plug-in I'll go to first if I'm just looking for a simple gate. In fact, I like using this best as an expander as I think the extra parameters cater to this best. Don't get me wrong, it's an effective gate as well, it's just not as basic and simple as some of the other ones out there to get the job done. It does it's job well but is really an extra bonus within the Blue Tubes Dynamics Pack. In other words, I wouldn't look to this bundle for this plug-in. Check out the others in the bundle that you'll most likely be using more often, and if you like them (which I do), it's cheap enough where it's worth it to pick it up. This is nice to have around, but definitely isn't worth getting the bundle for it unless you're into using the other plug-ins more regularly.

  • Nomad Factory Equalizer Model PEQ5B
    moosers's review

    The Nomad Factory Equalizer Model PEQ5B is a plug-in that is offered as part of the Blue Tubes Equalizer Pack and as an individual plug-in. I don’t own this plug-in bundle but the studio I work at does and I’ve used it there. For this reason I didn’t have anything to do with installing the software. In terms of learning to use the plug-in, it’s fairly simple and I think that anyone with a small amount of experience using EQ should be able to figure out how to use the plug-in without any assistance from a manual or elsewhere. The plug-ins interface is loosely based on the Pultec configuration, but it’s got more control. The top of the plug-in features two EQ bands for high and low frequencies, each with their own boost and attenuation knobs and vague frequency control as well. There’s a built in limiter with a button only for light limiting and an overall output leveler as well. The bottom half of the plug has three more bands for low mids, mids, and high mids, each with parameters for bandwidth, gain (attenuation/boost), and frequency. With all of the bands you can choose to bypass them if you’d like… SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE The studio where I work has just about all of the Nomad Factory plug-ins including the Blue Tubes EQ Pack which has this in it. We have all of the plug-ins running on a few different systems since we have a few studios on site, but all of them are Pro Tools HD and rarely do we have issues running any plug-ins. Our main room has a Mac Pro computer with 10 GB of RAM and dual 2.66 Ghz Intel Xeon processors. It’s not even worth going into further detail on this system as it’s more than capable of running this plug-in without issues. OVERALL OPINION It’s not worth it to buy the Nomad Factory Equalizer Model PEQ5B plug-in unless you’re doing so within the Blue Tubes Equalizer Pack. It costs about half of the price of the bundle on it’s own, which consists of six EQ plug-ins in total. This is one of my favorites in the bundle since if offers up more control than you’ll get with many of the other ones. For me, I’d rather have the option for control and worry about if I need it later. This certainly gives you enough to play around with and it has more than a respectable sound. It’s thick for a plug-in EQ and covers the full range of frequencies very well here. If you like this plug-in, the bundle is a great way to expand your EQ capabilities at an extremely reasonable price…

  • Nomad Factory BT Deesser DS-2S
    moosers's review

    The Nomad Factory BT Deesser DS-2S is a plug-in that's part of the Blue Tubes Dynamics Pack. You can also buy it individually, but it's definitely worth it to buy the whole bundle, as there's six plug-ins in total in the bundle and this one costs nearly half of the entire bundle. I don't own this plug-in and wasn't involved with the installation process. It's not hard to use as the interface - it's got parameters for threshold, range, frequency (with buttons for using it as either a high pass or regular band pass filter), and a master volume leveler. You can also set the VU meter to show either input, output, or gain reduction. I think it's simple enough to use where you don't need the help of a manual. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE The studio I work at has the Nomad Factory BT Deesser DS-2S plug-in and the rest of the Blue Tubes Dynamics Pack running on their Pro Tools HD system. The computer is a Mac Pro desk top computer that has 10 GB of RAM and dual 2.66 Ghz Intel Xeon processors. I've never had a problem running it within this system, but then again we rarely experience issues with this system like this at all. OVERALL OPINION The Nomad Factory BT Deesser DS-2S is an easy to use and pretty effective de-esser plug-in. You'll get the full array of the different dynamic processors in the Blue Tube Dynamics Pack plug-in, which of course this is included in. It sounds quite good and is effective on vocals for all sorts of de-essing purposes. I have others that I usually will go to first, but if you've got the bundle there's almost to reason to get another one - unless you're using a de-esser on every vocal that is. It's good to have if you only find yourself using this type of dynamic processing every once in a while. If you use it every day, it may be better to get something a bit better, but for most it will do the trick just fine.

  • Nomad Factory BlueVerb DRV-2080
    moosers's review

    Nomad Factory's BlueVerb DRV-2080 is a plug-in modeled to be a 'vintage' studio reverb effects unit. The plug-in comes as an individual and isn't part of any bundle that I'm aware of. I am not an owner of this plug-in as I've only used it at the studio where I work, where we've got most of the plug-ins that Nomad has to offer on hand. Using the plug-in takes a little bit of getting used to but is by no means difficult in my experience. All of the parameters are just a series of knobs, making it as simple to use as possible. The main reverb section gives you knobs for pre-delay, ambiance, reverb amount, decay, damping, tail level, and stereo width. These aren't the most traditional reverb parameters, but that's what I like about using it as it gives you a unique perspective on getting reverb sounds. The plug-in also has a two band EQ, each with their own gain and frequency parameters. Lastly, there's a master level section with control over mix, input, and output levels. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE We've got the Nomad Factory BlueVerb DRV-2080 plug-in running on a few different studio systems where I work. All of them are Pro Tools HD based, with our main room running a Mac Pro computer with 10 GB of RAM and dual 2.66 Ghz Intel Xeon processors. I always run reverb plug-ins on aux tracks to begin with, so at most I'm running two of these plug-ins at once, which is pretty rare anyway. Given the system that I'm running it on, I haven't encountered any issues and don't expect to in the future... OVERALL OPINION The Nomad Factory BlueVerb DRV-2080 is overall a really cool reverb plug-in, but I wouldn't say so in a traditional sense. It's definitely unique as it doesn't contain many of the parameters you'll find in modern reverb plug-ins. It's a good thing otherwise I probably wouldn't use this all that often as I definitely own better reverb plug-ins at home. Even as is, I don't use it on every session but rather use it every once and a while if I'm looking for a slightly different take on reverb inside the box. I don't know if it's worth it to buy this plug-in as your main reverb, but if you're in the market for one it's a good idea to at least try out the demo.

  • Nomad Factory PULSE-TEC EQs
    moosers's review

    The Nomad Factory Pulse-Tec EQs are a set of three EQ plug-ins in one, designed after the legendary Pultec equalizers. You can't use each of these three processors individually, but each is their own processor essentially and has a different function from the others anyway. Included is the MEQ-5 Mid Range EQ, EQP-1A Program Equalizer, and the Pre-2S Stereo Preamplifier. I'm not the owner of this plug-in set but have used it a bunch at the studio where I work, and wasn't the one to install it. The interface of the plug-in shows the three EQ's stacked together, each of which are pretty basic and easy to follow. For a more in depth overview of each of the processors, check out my individual reviews for them. I've never seen the manual for the Nomad Factory Pulse-Tec EQ's... SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE The studio I work at has the Nomad Factory Pulse-Tec EQ's running on a few different systems on site. I've mostly used it in our main room with is Pro Tools HD based, like the other rooms are. This room has a Mac Pro computer with 10 GB of RAM and dual 2.66 Ghz Intel Xeon processors, which is more than enough to run this plug-in. I have yet to encounter any problems when it comes to performance with any plug-ins on this system, so it's not the best judge and I can't really say how well it would run on an LE system or something comparable. OVERALL OPINION The Nomad Factory Pulse-Tec EQs plug-in is a great way to get three plug-ins in one at a very cheap price. These plug-ins compliment each other quite well and are of course best used in series, but it's also nice to have even if you just want to use one or two of the processors at once. They certainly aren't going to give you a Pultec sound inside the box (as nothing will), but they definitely sound good enough to print with and in general can be very useful for both simple equalization and beefing up your sound a bit with the virtual preamp. I'm not sure that this would be my first recommendation for a Nomad plug-in set, but it's definitely a worthwhile one if you've already got a few of the more complete packages...

  • Nomad Factory BT Analog Compressor CP-2S
    moosers's review

    The Nomad Factory BT Analog Compressor CP-2S is part of the Blue Tubes Dynamics Pack, a plug-in bundle consisting of six plug-ins total of various dynamic processing capability. This one is the most traditional compressor of the bunch. You install the full bundle at once, which is a process I wasn't involved with since I don't own the bundle myself and have only used it on the studio's systems where I work. If you understand the basic working parts of compressors in general, the interface of this plug-in will be very easy for you to use. It includes parameters for threshold, ratio (ranging from 1:1 to 10:1), attack, release, and gain make up. It also has options for VU metering to choose from, as well as the ability to set the compressor to either RMS or peak limiting. It's easy enough to use where a manual really shouldn't be necessary. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE The studio that I work at has the Nomad Factory BT Analog Compressor CP-2S and the Blue Tubes Dynamics Pack running on a few different systems. I've used it a least a little bit on most of them, with the main room being Pro Tools HD based and running everything on a Mac Pro desktop computer with 10 GB of RAM and dual 2.66 Ghz Intel Xeon processors. It doesn't seem to take up much processing power within this system, but then again I've never had a problem running any plug-ins at all within this system. OVERALL OPINION The Nomad Factory BT Analog Compressor CP-2S is a pretty effective compression plug-in for the most part. It's not my first choice for compression by a good amount, but it's still got a pretty full sound for a plug-in and does a pretty decent job of analog emulation. The best part about the CP-2S is the fact that it comes within a bundle of six plug-ins for just $200 US dollars, which comes out to only a little more than $30 per plug-in, which is a pretty unbeatable price. If you're looking to expand your plug-in compression palette, the BT Analog Compressor CP-2S and the BT Dynamics Pack is a great way to do it.

  • Nomad Factory Liquid Gate II
    moosers's review

    The Nomad Factory Liquid Gate II is one of six plug-ins that comes as a bundle in the Liquid II collection of plugs. It's designed for eliminating noise, but can also be used as a more traditional gate/expander. I don't own the Liquid Bundle II, so I can't speak much about the installation process, but I can't imagine that it's too difficult to get it up and running. Using the plug-in couldn't be much simpler - if you understand the basic working parts of a gate, you'll be fine here. The gate section itself gives you parameters for threshold, range, attack time, hold time, and release time, as well as the option of setting the envelope to RMS or peak positioning. There are also high and low pass filters that can be used as a side chain to the gate. The plug-in is real easy to use, so a manual isn't something that should be necessary. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE We've got the Nomad Factory Liquid Gate II plug-in and the entire Liquid II bundle currently running on a few different systems at the studio where I'm working. Each room has a Pro Tools HD system, with our main room running it all on a Mac Pro desk top consisting of dual 2.66 Ghz Intel Xeon processor and 10 GB of RAM. This system is more than enough to adequately run this plug-in and the others in the Liquid II bundle as I can't say I've ever had an issue running them. OVERALL OPINION While the Nomad Factory Liquid Gate II is the plug-in I use the least within the Liquid II bundle, it's still useful and nice to have in a bundle of plug-ins that are mostly effects. It's pretty effective as a noise gate, but when I've used it in the past it hasn't been for this purpose, as I've mostly used it on drums as a more traditional gate. It's good for getting basic noise out, but lacks the in depth detail you get with the Waves noise reduction plug-ins that I have. I consider the Liquid Gate II a nice little extra in a bundle of highly effective plug-ins, all at an extremely reasonable price!

  • Nomad Factory Baxandall Equalizer BX2S
    moosers's review

    The Nomad Factory Baxandall Equalizer BX2S is a simple EQ plug-in that comes in the Nomad Factory Blue Tubes Equalizer Pack of plug-ins. The bundle has six plug-ins in total and this one is the simplest of the bunch and really couldn’t be simpler. The interface shows just two bands of EQ with 15 dbs of boost or cutting possible with both the bass and treble EQ bands. There’s also a master level knob and a built in limiter button just for hitting it a little bit so it won’t clip. That’s literally everything that you’ll find in this plug-in. If you’re looking for more control, the other 5 plug-ins in the bundle will certainly provide that for you, so it’s not like you’re missing out here by only having two bands – it’s just designed for simpler and quicker jobs. It’s so easy to use that no one should really be needing a manual. SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE I don’t own the Nomad Factory Baxandall Equalizer BX2S plug-in and hence don’t have the Blue Tubes Equalizer Pack, but have been using the plug-in every now and again on the systems at the studio where I work. The A room, like the others on site runs Pro Tools HD, along with a Mac Pro computer that has a generous 10 GB of RAM and dual 2.66 Ghz Intel Xeon processors. This is about as low amount of processing power as a plug-in could take up, so no worries at all here when it comes to performance… OVERALL OPINION The Nomad Factory Baxandall Equalizer BX2S isn’t going to do anything special for you, but if you need to cut or boost either low or high frequencies at once, it will do the job. I don’t tend to use it all that often since the other plug-ins in the Blue Tubes Equalizer Pack have more in depth flexibility, but it’s nice to have around if you’re just looking to hear what it would sound like to add some low or top end here and there. The bundle as a whole is well worth looking into since it’s only $200 US dollars for six versatile EQ plug-ins. Needless to really say, this isn’t my favorite of the batch, but it certainly has it’s time and place and can be helpful when needed.

  • Nomad Factory Motown Studio EQs
    moosers's review

    The Nomad Factory Motown Studio EQ's bundle is a set of two plug-ins - Retro Music-Tone and Retro Film-Tone, both of which are, obviously, equalizers. These plug-ins are modeled after passive equalizers used on classic Motown records. URS also has a bundle of two plug-ins modeled after these EQ's, which I should say right off the bat that I like better. Each of the two plug-ins has seven bands to work with, with the two plug-ins having different frequencies for each of the bands. I don't own this bundle, but have used it at the studio where I work, so I wasn't involved with the installation process in any capacity. They definitely aren't hard plug-ins to use at all, as it doesn't get much simpler than an EQ that has fixed frequency bands. A manual shouldn't be necessary since it's so easy to use... SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE We've got the Nomad Factory Motown Studio EQ's running on a few different systems at the studio complex where I work, with the main room running it with Pro Tools HD and a Mac Pro desk top computer. The computer has 10 GB of RAM and dual 2.66 Ghz Intel Xeon processors, so if having Pro Tools HD wasn't enough, I do believe this computer could run these plug-ins comfortably on an LE system or something comparable. I can't really imagine too many users having problems running this within their DAW. OVERALL OPINION The Nomad Factory Motown Studio EQ's are pretty decent plug-ins for sure, but I prefer the URS version of these plug-ins, as I think they're overall more realistic sounding. Like the URS version, these plug-ins are best used in tandem, so really I'd look at this as one plug-in that's split into two pieces, as you can't change the frequencies on here, so if you want a certain frequency that isn't found on one of them, you'll have to go to the other one for it, not that every frequency is covered between the two of them. These are definitely useful plug-ins to have, but after using them a few times at the studio where I work, I've found that I don't prefer them to the URS version which I have at home. I'd definitely encourage those interested in the Nomad Factory Motown Studio EQ's to check out the URS M Series EQ as it's comparable in price and definitely a better bet in my opinion...
