I've heard lots of good things about a lot of saturation plugins - waves kramer tape, output thermal, ableton's stock saturation, saturn. I was wondering what experiences/knowledge others had and which one to go for for an intermediate producer?

I love using Waves plugins - and quite often they have an 'analog' button. I love pressing it but never really knew what the difference was or whether I could hear it! A friend eventually told me that it essentially just added some noise/tape hiss. Overall, it definitely warms up your music. Some plugins like the arturia stuff also add voltage randomisation ie a slight wobble in the sound to emulate the variation of voltage that happens with real currents! I have say arturia stuff is the best analog emulations ive ever heard!
Hey all
Just wondering if anyone's had any experience with mastering. Do they have recommended mastering engineers they use? Or they do it themselves? And how much is a ballpark number to pay when you're starting out?
I've heard some reccomendations before but wanted to get everyone's opinions!
Cheers
Im loving these 80s vaporwave funky tunes from you at the moment! have you found a home for them yet? Can imagine Kavinsky playing these
Some great entries this year. My vote goes with Alv Martin... love those flavas! Wasn't he the runner up in the last competition too?
Sounds great. I was in one on Facebook a few years ago and was pretty damn useful! Also helps you learn to really receive feedback
Yes I haven't quite made my mind up. May download it and give it a go and see what its like.
