API 2500+ VS. WAVES API 2500
Comparing the hardware to the digital version of the plugin.
Sample Rate: 96khz
The threshold and gain settings are not identical between the plugin and hardware, instead I set the threshold on each to get the same amount of gain reduction and the output gain was set to volume match.

Also, for those of you with keen eyes, after uploading this I realized I edited the wrong guitar clip in during the intro with the Piezo, I'm actually playing that part an octave higher and just used the wrong video clip.

CLA Guitars vs. Archetype Petrucci vs. Helix Native (Preset Comparison)
#Archetype #Petrucci #Cla
Comparing some presets between these different sets of plugins.
DI track processed by each plugin, no other effects. I apologize for the sound quality, the video editing software applied some effects that I didn't catch and ruined the sound. I'll most likely re-upload this video later.
This is not a super technical comparison, it's pretty basic and meant more to illustrate which plugins have the best out-of-the-box sound.

Lyrics:
Once again, lost in the depths of time
And all is gone...
Light the fire in your heart and feel the pain burn again
All you see is the enemy within your soul burn your brain
And you will be fine once again
Light the fire in your eyes and see the truth burn again
Set in stone the motion of the wheel of time
And you will be fine once again
Burn it down!
Burn it down!
Light the fire and burn it down!
Light the fire burn it down!
Light the fire burn it down!
Light the fire and burn it down!
When all is said and done and your will is gone
Gotta burn it all, burn it till the world is gone
Till the world is gone
Life is not what you thought it was when you looked to find
Pack your dreams and leave them all, leave them all behind
Leave them all behind
Light the fire in your heart and feel the pain burn again
All you see is the enemy within their souls burn thier brains
And you will be fine once again
Burn it down!
Burn it down!
Light the fire and burn it down!
Light the fire burn it down!
Light the fire burn it down!
Light the fire burn it down!

SSL2+ vs. Scarlett Solo (Same Audio Source Comparison)
Comparing how the SSL2+ and the Scarlett solo process audio and if there is an audible difference between the two. This a re-upload of a previous video I had, but I made a few edits to make a couple of things more obvious.
All audio is recording @ 48khz
Voice Signal Path: Sm7b - Cloudlifter - SSLSix - [SSL2+ and Scarlett Solo]
Amp Signal Path: Same as above, but Sm57 is added in as primary mic, blended with Sm7b at a low volume.
Audio has been boosted to a normal listening level.
There are obvious things to consider when getting an interface, such as how much gain it can provide for your microphone, headroom, inputs/outputs, etc. However, this video is meant to compare if there is an audible difference between the supposedly better converters in the SSL2+ vs the Focusrite.

Alien World
I've been asleep and now I wake
All I see is a foreign land
My heartbeat rises I am scared
Disbelief haunting me
Danger to the left of me
Danger to the right
The path to safety lies behind me
No this can't be true
I've already been here I see nothing new
Now I walk tracing steps
Running forward, going back
Seeing nothing it's getting dark
In my dreams all I see
Happy endings a memory
So be it
Danger to the left of me
Danger to the right
The path to safety lies behind me
No this can't be true
I've already been here
I see nothing new
I see nothing new
Beaten and bruised I walk alone
Taking steps to reach my throne
Taking steps to reach my home
