Gene and all others with comments,
Is the Neve 33609 even worth the bother?
I want to use the $50 coupon on a plug. I'm strongly considering the =
Precision Multiband.
If it sounds as good as it looks and functions as simply as it appears I =
think it could make
a difference in my lower end mastering projects (the only ones I do). =
Now I'm using Paris EQ,=20
NoLimit, Paris Comp, but no real pristine compression. The Waves =
multiband is average at best=20
to my ear. That's all I've got around here in higher end software. =
I've delved into the Waves Ren Comp=20
a few times too. It's okay. The Sakis method is too involved for my =
limited mastering hours. I typically
have to get a CD done in less than four hours to make it worth the =
client's/my while.
For $200 or less is there a better choice for an easy to use multiband =
comp? Otherwise I might spring for the=20
1073 but I have two Neve pres here in hardware form that I track with =
alot.
Is the UAD 140 way better than the SIR plates? If not I'll pass on that =
too.
I'm thinking the Cambridge EQ (just got that and like it) with the =
Precision Multiband Comp would be a=20
fine addition to a sweeter sounding master and even individual tracks =
here and there. =20
All opinions welcome!

If I didn’t have the Portico, I might consider it but I am a glutton. I have
many software tools that I have purchased that I use infrequently or never,
and if I only bought what I really needed, I would only have a fraction of
my current tools. Not bragging or proud of this, I’m just a sucker for this
shit. I’ve heard Paris-only tracks that sound great.
I’m on a ten-step program - Right!
Gene
Actually, the only way to significantly improve the native sound of Paris
is with improved converters, hardware and clocking. Plugins always seem to
move the sound “laterally” to me. Not up the scale of quality. A few exceptions,
yes, but not many. The Paris compressors are a weakness so any good plugin
will help, but good hardware is still better.

Gene,
I have a stereo pair of Distressors and a Demeter VTCL-2
tube comp. I don't think either of these comps are right
for stereo bus work at the mastering level. Is your
experience with the UAD Mastering series plugs less=20
fruitful than my hardware options? I really don't want to
buy a hardware mastering comp.

Gene,
Thanks for your input. My mastering jobs are definitely on the
low end scale. If I didn't do it, they'd run disks with no attention
to mastering at all. The higher end clients are all going to a select
few mastering houses here in BeanTown.=20
I am familiar with the SSL 2 bus comp sound. How does the Neve
compare to that would you say? I might have to check out the
Neve and Precision and do an A-B test on different style mixes.
I also like to run the 2-bus into my Neve pres for 'that sound' .
To refresh your memory, the Demeter is fairly transparent for a tube box =
but doesn't have the speed to really control wild dynamics. It does =
help=20
glue things together though especially on guitar groups or vocal groups.
As always thanks for the tips!
Tom

It's not easy for me to answer. In my case I do apply "mastering" to =
tracks
if I am sending demos out or occasionally for film work. I do not =
consider
myself a Mastering Engineer (capitalized), even though I do have a few =
mastering
credits. For real album work I send tracks to professional mastering =
people.
For me the goal is to get the tracks closer to "album sound" but not =
to do
real mastering.=20
If I did not have the Portico, I would probably pick the UAD 33609 =
over the
UAD Mastering Compressor simply because I have a slight preference for =
the
"Neve-ish" sound.
The best thing is to try the demos yourself. I do agree that the =
Distressor
is not a good choice for a mastering comp. It's been years since I =
used a
Demeter.
Other good software compressor/limiters I have used for "mastering" =
include:
Sony Dynamics and Limiter
Massey Limiter (Pro tools only) - Excellent! And cheap.
The optional limiter for SawStudio (I forget the name)
Waves L3 Multimaximizer (gets crunchy but is very "Radio")
UAD Fairchild (for effect only)
A step down but usable are:
PSP MasterComp, Voxengo, and Roger Nichols Finis=20

Aaron,
Tubby big time in the low end. I think I'm going to like the

The Cambridge seems to have an even nicer top end than=20

I think the low end will be better in a fine tuning way than the=20
Paris eq also.
It's the Neve comp that I know nothing about.

Hey Tom! You might want to look in to the iZotope 64-bit Studio Processing
Bundle for mastering. I think it goes for around $350.00 street. I've never
used it but I have heard good things about it.
