I've been remixing a track that I recently mixed but this time I'm strapping
a Demeter VTCL stereo comp after the Portico 5042. This compressor is a
little bit fussy, but with a little work, it can create a lot of the BIG
thing. I've got plenty of plugins that can do this too, but the more I go to
the effort to use hardware (and deal with all of the work that goes with
it), the closer I get to what I've been looking for with this new system. I
can A/B hardware vs plugins on the mix bus and the hardware just provides a
different level coutour and dimensionaliy to the sound. More 3D. I think a
lot of it has to do with the genre I'm working wit-lots of
folky/country'esque sounding acoustic guitar, fiddle and mandolin tracks
with electric bass and a full drum kit with 10 mics on
it..................more like the Dirt Band than Nashville style country
music. The more hardware I add to the mix, the closer it sounds to what I'm
looking for.
I can see a VariMu and a Nightpro EQ in my future somewhere down the road.
If I had a those, a Massive Passive, a couple of LA-2A's, 4 x 1176's and 4
x LA-3A's, I'd be happy......well .......maybe....for a little while.
