Virtual Precision Instruments for Sequoia

»I have been both a Sequoia and Cube-Tec user since 2006. Both have increased my productivity immensely. The Cube-Tec VPIs work flawlessly within Sequoia, and coupled with Sequoia’s “object” based software design, they make complex audio production tasks lightning fast. I can work almost as fast as I can think, which is a real delight after having worked on other systems that require many more steps to achieve the same or inferior results.

I have used the AnalogEQ and Loudness Maximizer plugins on every style of music from classic jazz, smooth jazz, R&B, and pop, to world and classical with equally superior results. And, the plugins have a broad range of applications ranging from use on single instrument or voice tracks within a multitrack mix, to overall EQ or dynamic range control in mastering. The AnalogEQ is beautiful sounding, especially in the double sample rate mode. You can easily hear the smallest spectral changes, without any “icky” sounding artifacts. Loudness Maximizer is unbelievably easy to use and also has none of the artifacts usually associated with dynamic range control software or hardware. The density control allows for simple adjustment of the relationship between compression and limiting type effects. In addition to new releases, I master many compilations from Concord Music Group’s vast back-catalog, and I constantly use these two plugins to sonically match often disparate recording styles included in the same compilation.

I wholeheartedly recommend the combination of Sequoia and Cube-Tec to anyone involved with the highest quality audio production work regardless of delivery medium. I wouldn’t work any other way! I have used many DAW’s and software over the last 20 years, and by far the Sequoia/Cube-Tec combination is my favorite.«
