RE: Saturation | Mixing Tools And Tips
I personally love and use the slate saturation plugins but haven’t went into depth as of quite yet. One thing I ask a lot of people is if they know that they can clip the plugins? and that some of these saturation plugins are actually meant to clip to give them those harmonics and characteristics? (not the fader).
Hey @heaterville thank you for dropping by. The Slate's tape machine is really a great plugin. It really does what it says.
You are correct that some plugins are meant to be pushed hard to get them to saturate. As long as the signal is pushed on the input of the plugin and brought back down on the output of it, so that the channel itself in the DAW is not clipping, it's fine. Some plugins even suggest the optimal level you should push the signal into the plugin to get the best out of them. Cool stuff!
im just getting back in the box myself... i love to talk engineer stuff all day man.. good stuff keep em coming...
I feel you bro. It never ends too. We can keep talking once we get started. I love what I do. Totally respect and appreciate the same interest and enthusiasm from you. Salute!
