This actually makes your mixing easier!

[@audiotoolshed]

Did you ever consider using preamp plugins?

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

I put these on all my channels and had the AUTO function activated. It really evened out the mix even before any manual adjustment. Great little plug-in!

[@audiotoolshed]

Sweet! Which level output settings did you use, the standard 0 VU?

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

@@audiotoolshed yes I had them at 0 at first which sounded great. Not sure if the group function makes a big difference. Will have to experiment further!

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

@@snubdawg1386 Since then I still use it but there are plenty of other options so it’s tough. Still useful.

Seems like Hornet did it again :))) thanks for the video man

[@audiotoolshed]

This is a brand I need to check more often.

[@Keroser1983]

@@audiotoolshed I have many of the brand's plugins. It is a one-man show yet very relaible and " gets job done " type of plugins. You should definitely check more often your opinions would be good

[@audiotoolshed]

One man show doesnt mean anything negative fortunately. Look at Fuse Audio. He makes some great stuff. I def keep an eye on Hornet.

[@Czyszy]

Hornet Tape is a fucking beast. It's the most versatile saturation plugin I've ever used. I use Hornet Tape in every project, every genre.

Studio One has had this for years and it's absolutely superb! 😎

Actually I believe mk1 of Analog console came out before Presonus’s variant. Might be wrong…

[@shogunarki1139]

Do we have any oversampling/aliasing issue or am I just overthinking

[@shogunarki1139]

It sounds really good but still, I can hear a little bit of those hiss on the high freq Or I am just hallucinating (too much mixing mastering for today)

[@audiotoolshed]

Overthinking. '' AnalogStage MK2 provides intelligent oversampling up to 4x to guarantee the highest possibile sound quality and an internal processing sample rate of 192KHz.''''

@@audiotoolshed Well I ma have some rest and enjoy good music and plugin then xD

[@audiotoolshed]

Rest is important ^^

[@Hansbakpopguitar]

Rather use NLS from Waves. Makes really different have also 3 modes.

[@audiotoolshed]

Slightly different applications. NLS is summing mostly. This one is best as first plugin in a plugin chain.

[@Hansbakpopguitar]

@@audiotoolshed yeah sure

[@vinylmastersgr1036]

Hello, does it make the mix analog? Analog means monophonic according to some of my friends but I don't believe it. They prefer digital with very hard bass. I will try it although

[@audiotoolshed]

Absolutely not. Analog has nothing to do with stereo or mono. You should know that with a name like vinyl masters.

[@vinylmastersgr1036]

@@audiotoolshed I am starter in mastering only make declick and decrackle with izotope app that I bought it cheap. I have tried to denoise with demo plugins but all plugins are for separate parts for example kick, snare, bass, vocals etc. De-ess is also very difficult. If there were plugins to denoise full mix or master vinyls like the mastering of cds with 150-200 euros each one I would buy these.

@@TheReal_E.IRIZARRY I have Blyss. It’s a great plugin

[@adamsmith7058]

@@TheReal_E.IRIZARRY I actually use and own both. Of course, Blyss is superior, but Analog Stage is pretty good. I like using different flavours in a mix and considering it cost me £3.00 in a sale it does a good job. I especially like it on Electric pianos, which it gives a slighlty dusty, but not too grungy feel to.
