    This is literally in my top 3 with Soothe and Gullfoss for my "just stick it on, do nothing, and it sounds way better" plugins. Bravo sir, Bravo. I don't know how you did it. But this sounds better than any other supposed console or "analog summing" plugin I have ever heard. And there's one damn knob. I could rave for hours about this. Absolutely flabbergasted. When I get a great mix that's "done". I just stick this across the whole mix and wow. Instantly takes it to a whole other level.

      @@hetto_blaster yeah,i was using console 4 or 5 three or four years ago and the workflow was lake this (if memory serves) you process your track,eq compression etc, insert Console channel as the last plugin in the chain,then,send that track to a buss and first insert another Console channel ,your buss process with eq compression etc then a Console buss.The whole idea is that your chain has a channel to encode,a channel to decode then buss,there is this magic happening between the two channels,so this was then in versions 4 and 5,i was in doubt about this V7.Many many thanx to you assistence dear friend.

    This is pretty darn amazing. I checked it on a whole mix with sub-busses in there as well, used a channel after those busses and then back to the master track to a Console Bus. This thing does wonders. I checked it against the original by phase-inverting and what it seems to bring out is the midrange of drum punches, and you can really hear all the compression you've applied and if it sounds good or bad. The Delta could even be an additional option on the Buss-version.

    • @hetto_blaster
      @hetto_blaster 3 роки тому

      So you only put the channel plug on the subbusses right? and not on each channel AND the subbusses? (which would result in 'doubles' in a way, although not 1:1 of course, because it would be 'single' against 'multiple' 'sounds'

They’re great for throwing into fx racks and mapping parameters to macros just to mess around.

    your plug ins are great.!!!. but also a total nightmare at the same time.. some different things ! ..(1.on overall Airwindows use) ..remembering what plug in does what and even what fader does what on the individual plugs (like this direction does this and this direction does that) makes them often daunting to use.. looking at a single mass wall of 400 Airwindows plugs is the best way to go? ..as great as they are.. (2.a bit of colour?) also the endless white theme might be bettered by some colours? dif colours for dither/console/eqs/comps/efx etcetc.. (3. console mixer) console 7 .. would it be possible to creat a sub mix plug that showed each instance in a single bus/master plug? Where you could turn them all up/down at the same time as doing each one one at a time in a large mix is laborious... this would improve workflow? ...once again Chris top stuff!...

    I don't know if someone can help me to understand something:
    You put one Console7Channel on each channel, then Console7Buss on the buss, and that's it?
    What i don't understand is: If you have many busses, you are sending to the master several busses results of the Console7Buss, is it recommendable to use then Ultrasonic or Infrasonic in the master at the end? or this plugins are doing the same antialiasing correction? I saw at the end of the video, Chris says shouldn't be necessary to use them?

Console channels leading to console busses followed by processing leading again to consolechannel.... Leading to master console bus. Gives things more room to live in and the overall space and glue starts happening on its own. Analog surely must be way better than digital if console can make such a big difference!

    • @MrMahn21
      @MrMahn21 3 роки тому +1

      Sample rates higher than 44.1/48 are far more accurate (and less susceptible to aliasing) when it comes to DSP. If you look at what plugins are doing using a plugin analyzer, you can see that they do some weird things the closer you get to the nyquist frequency, to the point that at 44.1 those weird things are significantly affecting the audible band.
      Airwindows plugins don't oversample IIRC, so to mitigate this behavior you need to run your project at a higher sample rate.

      @joost3783 3 роки тому

      Vcc is a virtual channel plugin, not technically doing summing it's running an emulation on each channel and just has ganged controls.
