Analogue vs digital plugins


DAW or Software Questions

Wow thanks @renegadeseven and @Robjones. Lots to reflect on there just watched your plugin boutique stream as well rob and can hear what you mean.

I guess theres infinite options that can be looked at and im also thinking to put effects on parallel and taking adding things like saturation to certain frequencies to create a nuanced sound

Cheers folks - enjoy..

Analogue vs digital plugins


DAW or Software Questions

Thanks @renegadeseven I did have a look but it didn't help - I'm referring more specifically to digital software that simulates analogue hardware.  

I will give an example that highlights my question better maybe.  So on a master chain I use digital reverb to cut or reduce some frequencies and then after that on the master chain I want to add EQ to lift certain frequencies.  I think on Robs mixing fundamentals course the suggestion was to use an analogue EQ at this point to enhance some frequencies. 

I'm not sure I can really hear the character that analogue devices bring to the table, so am leaning more towards digital devices that give better (sense of) control.  

Hope that makes better sense wink-3

Analogue vs digital plugins


DAW or Software Questions

Hiya - I a general question about analogue vs digital plugins. Im wondering about the advantages and disadvantages of analogue in digital tracks.  Im not sure im able to hear the difference for example of putting analogue eq on a master chain as opposed to digital one. 

So my question probably relates to how to refine my ear than the theory..

JAFUNK ECSTACY REMIX COMP


Announcements

Hi all, I've finished my remix track for the competition. Really enjoyed working with these stems, as well as working through the mixing fundamentals course as I finished it.
I never know how to define my music - I guess it fits in the dance category somewhere :-)
Looking forwards to hearing the submissions from everyone else and have enjoyed listening to what everyone else has done with this so far ..

JAFUNK ECSTACY REMIX COMP


Announcements

Wow loving whats up here so far. Im nearly finished my track, but end up spending so long fine tuning everything and adding enhancements here and there.
My cpu is on its knees right now, so hanging back on mastering until i consolidate a bit ..
I really enjoyed watching your remix on last week's live stream rob. Between yourself and simon shackleton you have convinced me to have a go at remixes at different speeds.
Was wondering rob, if you'd be able to do a video on that approach of limiting the buses, or maybe advise some of the considerations (eg how much headroom, or anything else to look out for) Sounds like a great idea.
Also was interested if you could advise or signpost me to a video about doing an outro. It sounds like this comes naturally to some people, but Ive struggled with this on a few tracks now.
Cheers and good luck with your tracks everyone..
