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
Cambridge possibly in conjunction with the Neve 33609.
The Cambridge seems to have an even nicer top end than=20
Paris. More transparent but still retains character to my ear. =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.
