Little Labs VOG - holy crap

[telepathy]

I am *really* digging this thing, on kick drum specifically. with two knobs and a couple of buttons it replaces what used to be twenty minutes of fiddling with outboard EQ and filters, for what seems to be a better result. I might just be in the honeymoon phase but I can't get enough right now. anyone else?

I use the UAD version. Try it on bass gtr.

I opened this thread to ask if you'd tried in on BD. Very interesting.

tried it on bass guitar, didn't love it so much. that was only once, though, on a song that had a ton of shit going on harmonically. on something a little more diatonic & straight-ahead it might be perfect, but in the case of this one song any super frequency-specific boost caused certain notes to jump out in a bad way.

but on kick ... holy good lord. also male baritone vocals, totally excellent, in what apparently was its original application (bringing out the chest resonance).

I really want to try it on double bass, cello, and Leslie cab.

I just picked up the UAD version a few weeks ago, and it's really impressing me. The first place I used it was on a fingerstyle guitarist in open C tuning, on a track that was just guitar and percussion. The VOG really filled out the low end on the guitar, but in a way that still sounded natural.

What is it?

I've been enjoying the plug-in, and have owned a hardware unit.
Like you would expect, they are different sounding, and the control parameters react a bit differently. The hardware unit was capable of getting a little bit wider selection of frequency to resonate. However, the software is a bit smoother.
I like them both equally, but the software advantage is allowing multiple instances.
Both versions have worked best so far as a singular source process, as opposed to running on a group or a send. The resonance sustain is fairly long.
