Below are 7 audio clips. In each audio clip is an analogue recording and a digital recording. The analogue recording uses the analogue hardware and the digital recording uses the UAD plugin emulation. Both analogue and digital settings are set up exactly the same. This ensures accurate comparison between the two files. We challenge you to try and work out which is the analogue recording and which is the UAD emulation. Please bare in mind these are high end analogue emulation plugins and not budget plugins, such as found stock with your DAW or the waves plugin version. So it’s not an easy task to tell the difference. The answers are located at the bottom of the page below the Soundcloud player. Answer honestly before checking the answers. See how well trained your ears are.
