Hi All,

I just watched the video demo for the Steven Slate Virtual Mic Pro Collection, and while I wasn't that impressed with the sound of the plugin (as far as I could tell, they mostly just increased the volume), the video gave me an idea.

Maybe you guys are all doing this already, but it was a new idea to me.

In the video, he takes a track, copies it, and then distorts it using his plugin. He uses EQ to shape the sound of the distortion, and then blends it under the original.

I just tried this with the stock PARIS EQ on an acoustic guitar track. I copied the track, used the EQ to pull down a bit of the high end and a bit of the very low end (below 40 HZ), and pushed the trim to plus 15 dB. I then mixed it under the original track. The effect is amazing! It's so full.

I found that putting a high pass filter on set at 40 HZ made the distortion sound better to me.

I'd heard of parallel compression before, but not parallel eq/distortion.

Has anyone else tried this?

Cheers!

Mike
