![]() On our four-core Intel Xeon 3GHz-equipped Mac, running 64 Virtual Channels brought the CPU meter up to the halfway mark. On the downside, CPU usage can be considerable. The Neve also noticeably enhances the bass. Sonically, the Trident offers the least hi-fi sound (and most hiss), with the API crisp and upfront, while the Neve handles extreme signal levels with the most ease. As you drive levels, the differences become more obvious, with the SSL and Trident being the most coloured. This is to be expected considering that real consoles are typically designed to be as clean and transparent as their analogue circuitry allows. ![]() Still, at regular levels, we found that using the SSL channel on a drum kit with a Neve-treated string section was practically indistinguishable from a fully SSL setup. One of VCC's biggest novelties is the ability to mix and match channels from different desk types. ![]() Like an analogue desk, you have to push levels hard before saturation is audible. However, the accumulated effect from sticking it on all of them is of subtle enhancement and gentle dynamic control, making it easier to achieve a smooth mix where everything sits in its place. If you drop VCC on just one channel, you almost certainly won't hear any difference.
