The other day UA pinged me with a bunch of bonus coupons. It just so
happened that it was enough for me to buy the Roland Space Echo and Boss CE1
chorus pedal emulator....so rather than die, I went ahead and got them. The
Space Echo is very cool. I'd forgotten how much vibe that thing has, but the
coolest discovery was the CE1 chorus pedal. I've got some mixes here with a
lot of mandolin in them. I've had to use quite a bit of subtractive EQ on
the instruments in these mixes to cut the mud and they were sounding a bit
thin and brittle. A good way to get the "thick" back in a mandolin while
still cutting some of the midrange is to use the Boss CE1 on it. Same goes
for the Roland Dimension D on acoustic guitars. It plumps up the signal
nicely while being very unobtrusive if used as a send effect and still
allows some space in the mix for other instruments.

OK..that's all.

;o)

Thanks DJ - I've finding a similar challenge with some celtic harp this week,
I don't have the Roland (Mac UAD) but I'll try something else based on your
post.

I wish they would do an emulation of the TC Electronic analog chorus
pedal. That thing blew away all chori (sic), IMHO. Does the Powercore
card offer it?

Deej, you should definitely try that (free) TubeDriver plugin I
posted a link to last week - not for the drive, just for the
harmonics - that'll also thicken up that mando without having
to resort to pitch-shifting stuff like chorii.

Neil, Could you post it again? I must have missed it and could not find
it in the past week or so.

Never mind, Neil, I found it. Man, this thing sounds niiiice. I like it
on guitars, vocals, just about anything. They really got a nice vibe
going with it.

Hey Bill, glad you found it... missed your post & am just now
catching up.

Take it easy on that thing, though - it can be like audio
heroin... sounds great, but you use too much and.... :)
