NuRack- Would it be wise to get some of the older 4pocket apps with NuRack around
Would you still get some 4pocket apps or are the NuRack effects good enough. If believe NuRack has a Noise Gate, Bitcrusher and other effects that 4pockets has apps on
Comments
It's an excellent question and one that I've thought about many times. I have quite a few 4Pockets apps including NuRackFX and there definitely is some crossover there as you said. Just thinking about my past experiences using the effects in NuRack and the dedicated ones, and some that are built in to apps like Neon, I'm not able to discern much difference in the quality, but I've never done a true A/B comparison.
Lengthy commentary follows ...
On a related note, I would say that NuRack is an amazing value for what you get - a literal swiss army knife of audio and MIDI effects, along with all of the automation tools, but at the cost of overcoming a fairly small learning curve, and dealing with a modular interface. I suspect that's a pretty big barrier for folks who just want to add a MIDI or audio effect. You won't get all the features and controls nicely laid out as it would be in the dedicated effect apps, and some of those include multi-bus output, which NuRack does, but only from multiple racks.
On the other hand, it's modular so you can combine multiple effects and chain them together in parallel or series, or any way you want, and it's got an interface builder, so you can make your own layout with meters and knobs and background images and so forth. Another advantage is that, like Mixbox (which is on another level), if you want to load it up as an audio effect in a DAW or host like Garageband, you can load multiple effects into a single effect slot.
So, simple answer, I would say if you don't mind the modular interface, and are also interested in some of the included effects, then try NuRack and try it out and see how they work for you. It will probably have a ton of stuff that you can use. I have some of the standalone effects but the only one that is duplicated in my set is the Noise Gate.
P.S. - I can direct you to a few videos on NuRack if you're interested in more about it - I've done quite a bit of research on it.
@EdZAB Interesting. I have looked at more on youtube. How would you say your duplicated noise gate fair in your opinion, good enough to not have to use the standalone. The demos look like some of the basic standalone can be replicated nearly perfect like phaser flanger overdrive audio compressor, which is probably wiser to try replicating with Nurack. From my understanding, I came with the assumption that apps like Multitap Delay cant be replicated as perfect as the basics but you can come with your version, but still wouldn’t be like Multitap Delay standalone. I wonder if the exact modules are the same used in some his standalone apps.
The standalone Noise Gate effect has more control and includes presets, so it's hard to compare them fairly, but I tried and I would say I prefer the standalone version. I think you would have to really try the effects out in real-world scenarios to see which one was best, which wouldn't really be practical.
