Blog/Tutorial Idea (modelling plug-ins)
Jun 3rd, 2011, 04:42
Hey guys,
I was thinking it might be nice if someone were to write a blog (perhaps even a mini series or even a full video tutorial) on using analog modelling plug-ins in DAWs.
With all these console and tape emulations popping up nowadays, it would be great to get some insight from one who has knowledge in this area.
For example, the blog/tutorial could cover things along the lines of:
What exactly these plug-ins aim to do
Correct gain-staging when working with these plug-ins (all this -18 business) :-)
Signal chains - i.e., what order to put the plug-ins in (tape, console emu)
Driving the plug-ins for saturation, distortion etc
The application of such plug-ins - on every channel, on busses, and master etc
I'm sure there are things I'm missing, but you get the idea. Coming from a completely digital background, I feel a bit overwhelmed by all this sort of stuff.
Anyway, thanks for reading.
Regards
Rich
