Even if that's true, it doesn't mean that component modeling as a concept should be dismissed.if you would model a transistor, or an op-amp or a tube, there would always come a point where it cannot amplify anymore and so it will start distorting the waveform, if you don't model that, well then you're just changing the gain digitally which is a very straightforward operation, but has nothing to do with modelling.

time to clean up the way to sell plugins i think. Even if that's true, it doesn't mean that component modeling as a concept should be nsequence of over used marketing technics : At one moment people becomes paranoid, nothing can be said without the doubt it's a lie. Basically, it sounds like you believe UA's component modeling was done improperly or at least not comprehensively enough since their modeled transistors don't distort.

If you were to model just ONE transistor properly on its own you would run into the fact that at the ceiling of amplification it starts to gradually clip with all kinds of complex distortion as a result.Component modeling is in no way marketing hype but it's true that component modeling does not necessarily equal perfection. UA is banging out EQs left right & centre that model the shapes of the filters and the band interactions, but they have (so far) not modelled any distortion properties.īy the way, that is your proof RIGHT THERE that "component modelling" is a lot of marketing hype.
