This pairs well with more heavy parallel compression on kick and snare to really pin them up front - Tim's ra6 or Complex are perfect for this.

2:1 ratio works well adding glue and sheen to a full kit while bringing some smooth but punchy attack.

Even the current v2 is strong as a drum parallel with a quick attack (try 1 - 2.5ms) and release to taste (100 - 300ms). The latest 100a beta is rocking and really grabbing like hardware - very excited to hear Blue Mu will have a similar improvement. It can be very cool on plucked sounds or bright or bandpass piano and keyboard chord sounds in a dense or aggressive mix. Speaking of impact and adding 'poke' I was surprised by the Blue Mu limiter. SPL TD is officially retired here for poking drum mics out.

Shape Mod is my new favorite tool for adding attack and the contour and trigger response options are quite useful for tuning envelopes to suit the source. Just picked up Tim P's Blue Mu, Shape Mod, and Complex Comp this week. Practicality may also be a major consideration. that is a subjective decision, and a personal choice. It allows experimentation and Re-Call, with mostly Real-Time comparison/evaluation.

The advent of 'Digital' technology opens many affordable options. 2 trk, 16, 24 trk.ДЄdd to that, different Tape Widths. Then there are the variety of Tape Machines. on multiple levels.Д«eside routine maintenance and calibration, each tape speed and tape formula requires Setup and Calibration.ДЄlthough we routinely did this for each session, the idea of 'quickly' switching Speed, Formula, different Brands, is a timely process. real hardware Tape Machines are an investment. But I guess it's representing a piece of hardware that digitally simulates tape? I don't see why this would be used if you can use real tape machines.as mentioned. why would someone use an analog tape 'emulator' rather than a real tape machine? I do like the sound of it but as an ignorant person, I bought it thinking it was more like the CDS Reel2Reel tape collection. Regarding the ATE Analog Tape Emulator from Alex B, and for instance the CDS Reel2Reel/Apex Tape collections. more of a mixing and equipment question for 'why' things would be used I'm looking forward to the recent announcements that CDSM has put out there, too. I'm pretty pleased with it! Very good stuff. Low, medium, and high categories with two subcategories for different dB steps. Those three have been coming out with new libraries and updates enough to keep me busy and satisfied too, so that's why I really never got around to purchasing CDSM stuff.Д«ut yeah, tape booster is quite simple. and I've mainly focused on the Tims' compressors and libraries, and AlexB's EQs and consoles. I got into N4 about a couple years ago or so. This is the first CDSM library I've bought. There are plenty of sonic goodies available. glad to here a positive report with using Booster+. I should try to find extra time to add more CDS libraries into my N-4.ДЄnyway. He was a major 3rd Party that brought great products for all of us. I'm happy to read He is leaning back into the Nebula World. We've conversed via email back in the day. Michael is a great Guy, and a Professional.

To this day I've yet to transition my entire Neb-3 libraries to the N-4 database. That was a major undertaking during the beta-testing process, with hundred+ versions as it evolved. it was during the major transition from Neb-3 to N-4. But again, I kinda drifted away from my large CDS collection. With so many choices I usually go a different route. I much prefer the organization that AlexB utilizes. I'm also a bit critical to the way the Library Presets are laid out. I think there was a way to change that Mode. it would jump to the new position rather than just be moveable. but, I did have issue with the user interface function.ДЇor example: when grabbing a Knob. This second stage, 'Tape Booster +', allows the user to add several decibels of natural tape saturation to their recordings.CDS has some very good libraries for Nebula, and the VST's is also good. These machines not only operate amazingly on their own, but because of the accuracy of their dynamic settings they provide us with the perfect stage 1 template to build upon for higher levels of volume due to saturation. With 'R2R-The Essential Analog Tape Collection', the user has a collection of the most sought after tape machines working 'at spec' and even beyond. 'Tape Booster +' represents the second stage of our unique 'building block' concept for providing the most accurate and dimensional representation of the analog tape sound. 'Tape Booster +' has been created as a compliment to 'R2R-The Essential Analog Tape Collection'. Add the sound of the most realistic analog tape saturation to your tracks with TB+!
