Audio Plugin Testing
Hi, and welcome to something I hope is helpful to you — some simple testing of audio plugins which you can use for comparing, or just to find out more about each one. Plus some things to help with your recording and mixing!
UAD Sound City Studios Plugin, part one
I was really curious about what was happening to the “tone” when in Re-Mic mode. So here are some frequency charts for different settings in the UAD Sound City Studio plugin.
UAD Sound City Studios Plugin, part two
Continuing from part one, where I was really curious about what was happening to the “tone” when in Re-Mic mode of the UAD Sound City Studio plugin.
Go ahead, boost and attenuate. The Pultec EQP-1A
There are all kinds of great techniques in using the boost and attenuation simultaneously on an EQP-1A (or emulation). The passive circuitry interacts in ways which allows a whole range of control over the frequencies which are not apparent.
UAD Pultec EQP 1-A
The Pultec EQP 1-A is the most hallowed of all studio equipment (along with a Fairchild 670). Apparently, if you have an original one of these a holy presence descends upon your board.
UAD Pultec MEQ-5
The Pultec MEQ-5 is usually used together with the EQP-1A, but it has some pretty cool tricks on it’s own.
UAD Pultec HLF-3C
I love the Pultec HLF-3C for cleaning up the high and low end. It doesn’t add any color, so don’t expect some kind of analog-ifying. Not cool or sexy, but it does have great curves.
