I'm mastering a project with 12 songs. I've got about half of them nicely
done. Just for grins, I opened up the *mastering* preset on the UAD-1 plate
140. This preset doesn't really even sound like a reverb at all. It's more
like lifting the track off the ground and wrapping the audio in a silk
kimono. It just provides air and sheen to the material, yet if you apply it
to a single track, it's not that great at all. It's a little retro
sounding, but this material is sorta' appropriate for it. I'm going to sleep
on this because my ears are getting tired. I'm almost embarrassed to use a
*preset*, but I'll be damned if I can get anything sounding better by
tweaking..........and then again, I would doubt that the folks at UA have a
bunch of putzes creating their presets. They sure did something nice with
this one.

;o)

You know, I never tried that preset until you mentioned it - put it on a mix
today (acoustic ballad) - very nice. I'm with you DJ - I never use presets,
at least without tweaking significantly, but this one really does sound nice
as is on some mixes. Probably not right for every mix, but it does soften
up the dry sounds and adds a nice air.

Thanks for giving that one a try and posting about it.

Regards,
Dedric

Hey, if it sounds good, it sounds good.
I keep coming back to, I think it was that Schnieder guru-mixer guy, whose
definition of mixing was "turning knobs until it sounds good."
Rock on,
