Pulsar Modular - P450 MDN EQ & P455 MDN Sidecar - Mixing With Mike Plugin of the Week

[@nichttuntun3364]

Hey Mike. I'm delighted you finally have beaten your shyness and can appreciate this wonderful plugin from Pulsar Modular. Thank you! 🎉

[@kadiummusic]

I've so impressed with this, especially the sidecar. Using it on my final mix buss and like you say it's tone shaping abilities is superb. 😎

Nice video Mike!

From the manual, pages 4-5: When the default STEP option is engaged, P450 channels the gritty, aggressive vibe of the analog gear that served as inspiration. When the SMOOTH option is enabled, distortion and saturation are lessened.

Absolutely LOVE this plugin. It’s so easy to get your mix where you want it with this thing. Super expensive. Super quality.

Got mine for free... o money spent.

Some Kush Audio plugins have 2 needles in the VU meter as well. It's an AWESOME feature, I wish more would do it!

[@AVDRE]

Oh yeah you're right! Kush audio does have it

[@matt_nyc_audioengineer]

@@AVDRE Ya, not all of them unfortunately but many!

[@sheeepman]

Great overview and a reeeally good new song, please keep it for future demonstrations!

4th best plugin of the MWM console shootout ❤

[@rogergamon]

Do you have a link to this please - thanks

[@Knutorius]

@@rogergamon I was making a reference joke about what was going on during the weekly live streams. "Plugin of the week" is usually recorded live at the end of these streams and before that we were picking a console for the mix , including the P450. Unfortunately, said plugin didn't make it, which is why it's funny it ended up being the POTW. So my comment wasn't really a statement about its quality in comparison to the others. These live stream usually only stay up for a week on youtube, but I think you can get access to them later through Mike's website, if you're really interested.

[@rogergamon]

@@Knutorius Ah right, many thanks for the response - so it wasn't actually compared to the others?

[@Knutorius]

@@rogergamon Well, it was compared to the others. We were comparing API type plugins, like UAD, Softube and another one I forgot. But it was less about how they compare to each other, but more about which one is best for the mix (punk song).

[@rogergamon]

@@Knutorius Ah ok, thanks

[@hunteranimates3442]

HI can you make a review of the Fabfilter reverb, because it has no early reflections.

[@AVDRE]

was waiting for this one. Nice!

[@allenm]

Mike, you need to update the plugins, you have the 1st versions

[@diegooliveirabenjamin]

The best, Mr Mike!

For me those few subtle analog switches were noticeable as either maintaining or pulling away the focus from the vocals. Ch 2, Analog B , Line Amp off and Mod1 all tended to keep the track focused on the vocals and to hold it together overall, whereas the alternative options tended to give more detail and depth to the song but also tended to slightly disintegrate it, making my ears/brain work more to hold the music together.

[@ZiadSidawi]

Try working the BIAS in the negative area with MOD2.

[@000aleph]

@@ZiadSidawi Thanks for the tip

[@OverdriveMusic]

Nice one!

[@bco0t6]

I like it but I’m not crazy about it I do feel like it adds a certain type of aesthetic to a certain type of music … def a tool, just not an all purpose tool imo

[@lofimat3856]
