they are moving in a direction to provide GUI's tailored to the specific program - ie, compressors have a familiar 'compressor-like' interface, EQ's are setup like a traditional eq. but still a bit awkward, and riddled with advanced features that you're not gonna understand if you don't dive into the deeper FAQ's on the Neb site. and the full library is spread out across multiple files - if ya want everything, you wind up downloading and installing 20 or so individual files. That said, they are a bit of a PITA in that you download them from a 3rd party 'free' rapidshare server. The library installations are as simple as downloading an installer and running it. but it's reasonably well documented on their site.

Their registration process is a bit of a hassle - you install, email them a key file, they send you back a subsequent file. When I went through the Neb3 application setup, it went relatively smoothly. I remember demoing Nebula2 a few years ago and there seemed to be a number of technical hurdles: There are other versions of Nebula 3, but only the PRO version is built on the new coreII engine. EDIT: Make sure to get NEBULA 3 PRO, listed as Nebula 3 including Nat3. When the newer versions (with better gui and engine enhancements) come out, you'll get them cheaper as a neb3 user. forget about neb2, despite the alluring cheaper price. In short, as a new customer, go right to the Neb3/Nat3 product option on their site. CoreII yeilds better optimization/performance, and has technology in place to more accurately represent sampled compressors. Both versions are able to read the same libraries, main differences being Neb3 has a more flexible GUI as well as the new CoreII engine. without going into too much convoluted detail, you want Nebula 3 - I'd imagine Neb2 will be depreciated soon. Maybe it's adult-onset ADHD on my part.īrian is probably best equipped to answer, but I'll give it a shot. How much are the 'commercial' libs? I see references to 3rd party stuff, but it's hard to figure out how much these things even cost.

Also, the interface was anything but intuitive.ģ. I remember demoing Nebula2 a few years ago and there seemed to be a number of technical hurdles:Ī. What are the significant differences if the 'engine' is the same in both? GUI?Ģ. If I demo v3 is that all I need to do? I mean, do I need to look v2 also for any reason?Ĭ. Could someone here help an obvious Dummy?ġ.

It looks like a great concept and I see people raving about it all the time, but I've had a lot of trouble understanding a few things and the replies I've gotten at the site have been anything but clear to -me. Sorry, but apparently I need someone who's first language is zeee Engleeesh to give me some answers to questions I have re.
