Could you please restore the CamelCrusher plugin as it was? Or create one within Logic?
Hi,
There are some exceptional pieces of gear, that can warm up your sound. Or make audio sound less digital. Without colouring the audio too much. Most of them are very sought after pieces of studio gear and therefore very expensive.
The CamelCrusher plugin is a real one-of-a-kind plugin that can do this, even-though it was free at the time!
It is really underestimated! And it can do the 'magical trick'!
I don't know anything like it. It warms my tracks and makes them sound less digital, with a very subtle tube-like colouration!
So at first I was very pleased that Apple bought Camel Audio!
Of course I didn't find this all out myself.
I watched some video's on Youtube at the time and saw how world-famous number-one dj's, like Avicci and Martin Garrix, used CamelCrusher plugins on almost every track! Just to warm up their audio and make (especially) synths sound less digital.
They work mainly with FL Studio, and a lot of people on Windows are still happily using the CamelCrusher for this exact reason.
As I'm a real Apple fan and I'm using Logic for about 15 years, that's not an option for me.
Now I had this project, with CamelCrusher plugins on every track, just to warm up the sound. And Logic asked me to change all CamelCrusher plugins for Phat FX plugins.
It seemed like a good idea to me so I clicked OK and let Logic change them all for Phat FX plugins.
Now with these plugins on every track, it is VERY clear, that it doesn't sound the same at all!
Instead of a warm subtle tube-like watery sound on all the synths, I'm now getting a much warmer, brown and lightly overdriven sound. This could also be very beautifull, but it is really completely different, from what I was trying to reach with the CamelCrusher plugins!
Gone is my way of warming up tracks in a subtle way! The one feature that is so hard to get in the digital world!
It is really a huge mistake, to think that the Phat FX does sound exactly like the CamelCrusher plugins. It does not. Of course it can also be great to. But it is different.
The quality/character that made it stand out and sound pristine is gone!
So here's my question;
Could you at Apple please please restore the CamelCrusher as it was? Or create one, as it was, within Logic?
It is a huge mistake to think that the Phat FX is doing the same thing.
I would also like to refer to the following article for better explanation on this topic. This guy really knows what i'm talking about! And he is far better in explaining than I am, as you can read by the following link;
