Then I drive it up to where the peakiest peaks are just dipping into the red every once in a while. You have to find your own way to use it, but for me - I batch my tracks to be -18db average before mixing, so all tracks hit the plugin at the correct gain staged level.

Plus you have the saturation which can be minor (there's always some) or a lot (when you crank it up.) In theory, all those little differences add up. (Mike) A few of the channels audibly aren't the same levels L/R so it causes a minor alteration of balance.Īnd you can see a phase difference(?) in some of the channels. One of the consoles has some pretty strong imperfections - the EMI console. If you use SPAN, you can see the saturation it adds, and you can also see that each channel is a little different (and each console is a little different.) They sampled the EQ, saturation effect, and level from each channel of three consoles. But I don't want to overstate what it does, either. (My "non-waves criticals" are Voxengo TEOTE, RC-20, and Trackspacer.)

If you buy a few plugins eventually you'll get an upgrade offer to get Mercury at a really low price.īetween Mercury & Abbey Road Collection - it's such an incredible, diverse set of plugins. It has a bunch of distortions, and then a random button that mutates the specific distortion type. Try automating the drive slowly over time. Waves Berzerk is a distortion that I use a lot.

(Tune Realtime is good, I DON'T recommend the regular Tune, which needs the HiDPI update really badly.) Its default setting gently pulls your vocals toward where they should be without noticeable artifacts. Waves IR1 - there's a lot of competition in the convolution space, but this one comes with 5 gigs of really good convolution settings. H-Delay and H-Reverb are two others that I use all the time. So instead of being normal generic bell shapes, you can sort of tilt them. Renaissance EQhas an interesting ability to shape the EQ filters. Oh! You can side chain with it, so it can work *somewhat* similar to Trackspacer if you need to duck frequencies when the vocals play, etc.) But when I need dynamic, I just use it that way. It's dynamic, but I use it as a normal EQ 95% of the time. For me, NLS is the difference between digital sterility and "bringing the mix to life." I've done mixes with it and then removed it for comparison and - I'll use it forever. It's so incredibly good.īut Waves NLS, too. 3 types of saturation, 3 types of compression, limiter, gate, versatile EQ, two de-essers, and the ability to insert another Waves plugin anywhere inside? Perfect. If I had to mix with just one VST it would absolutely be that one. And they're gradually making them all HiDPI.īut if you just get one plugin, make it Scheps Omni Channel. But once you own enough Mercury, suddenly that yearly update fee of $180 gets you updates and several new plugins every year. Waves gets a lot of hate because of the update plan, which I understand. Good EQ, good spread (not usually a fan of stereo width plugins but this one is good at low settings - automated it up to 1-2 during choruses!). (The SSL Compressor is really usable, and the SSL Channels are great for use on a bus for bus compression and EQ.)Ībbey Road TG Mastering Chain is another favorite. They already sound good, but they're especially fun to use because they look good at 4k. I enjoy the SLL plugins, particularly since they have the HiDPI update. It's a console emulation that emulates every channel of a mixing board, including its differences and imperfections. It "just works."ĭon't get Waves NLS because it's so amazing you'll never want to go without it. Renaissance Compressor is the easiest to set up and most reliable of any compressor. It is a swiss army knife of a channel strip. Helps us keep the sub clean by reporting posts and comments that are in fault.
