Free vs Expensive plugins: comparing the Helios 69 emulations available today! 

The Helios 69 is one of my favorite UAD emulations (I've been using it since their “Legacy” Helios strip) and a while ago I bought Acustica Audio's take on the Helios 69, called Viridian.

Then I started using Analog Obsession's HLE-SE free take on the same EQ and a couple of days ago, Lindell Audio put out their 69 Channel Strip which I was really looking forward to trying.

The EQ curves do not match between those 4 plugins, some of them a VERY different, some of them a pretty close but I am certain you will hear the differences between them, even going through Youtube's audio compression.

Let me know your thoughts in the video comments!
