I know noize uses this so i grabbed the trial version to give it a shot.
just wanted to know, when the best time or at what point to use this is?
after eq, after compression etc?

Jan 21, 2009 09:22 pm mmm, ya know that's not a bad concept ha ha ha.
well i guess i just wanted to know if its basicly a compressor, dont wanna overdo it you know. especialy if i compress before it and then need to go back to touch up, then i cant get it off if the psp is just more compression again.
Jan 21, 2009 10:15 pm I think Noize is out of the area, so I'll offer an answer.
Any effects such as reverb, delay, warming, etc. should only be applied after any EQ or compression, for very simple reasons.
Applying a gate, compression, or any dynamic effect after an "airy" type of effect will only serve to squelch or unnaturally exaggerate the sound of the effect.
Hear what I mean? If you compress, gate, or otherwise alter the level of an effect designed to create ambiance, it will defeat the purpose of the effect.
Put all reverbs and spatial effects on at the end of the chain.
Jan 22, 2009 10:19 am I think the Vintage Warmer is intended to be used on an overall mix, kind of like Ozone or Magneto. I think its kind of a tape compression sim, so when you drive it hard it'll distort in an analog manner instead of digitally clipping.
Jan 22, 2009 09:14 pm Yep, it is generally used overall.
But that said, I use it on individual tracks more often then on a main buss.
It is after all an EQ, compressor, limiter, saturater.
I use it mostly as a saturation type processor. If you click the logo you will get to some deeper controls on the back end of it. At least on the pay for version you do. I would assume it works on that version as well.
Jan 22, 2009 09:17 pm OH ya, Deon.
Over do it for sure. IT is a killer plug for over doing things with.
Jan 23, 2009 04:19 am excellent Noize cheers, so i could use it on drums and guitars on seperate tracks fine?
in this case i proly guitar and drum bus's.
what about vox? i know i can just try all this but am interested to know what you think.
Jan 24, 2009 08:31 pm Deon, I use it on anything and everything. Nothing is safe from its use.
When I was more into the industrial type sound that was one of my go to plug's without a doubt. You can easily drive anything into oblivion with it, or simply warm things up as well.
And yes, I've used it on a drum buss to pump things up as well. Guitar, indeed a great tool for cranking up a not so cranked guitar tone.
