OT: saturation plugs?

[trock]

Hi

i was wondering what plugs you might be using as a saturation plug?? and how you might be using it?? particuraly on mix down? and exactly where you place it?

thanks

Samplitude has a lovely tape saturation plug-in but I don't know if these can be transferred to SAW. It' s the only one I've heard.

i was looking at mcdsp AC1 but it won;t work in SAW

does anyone use this on their master bus in stereo or multi mono mode?

I'v used Voxengo TapeBus

Its not a usual saturation plugin, but based on Impulse Response wav files.
I think it sounds good on aux busses for comping drums.

Just try the demo, and see

TriTone Digital's HydraTone & ValveTone. I was pretty impressed with them!

thanks

i will try them today.

by the way do you run them on your master pre or post? i wanted to run my mix thru it and not have it at the end of the mix so i take it that would be post on my master out?

thanks

Hey

I put the saturation plug,bob's levelizer & sonoris meter in that order on the post. I don't use the compressor on the levelizer just the peak limiter to make sure I don't get any "overs". If you don't have it already I recomend getting the levelizer. Other peak limiters I have tried, to my ears, didn't let my mixes breathe or sound as spacious. It was the best money I ever spent besides joining the saw family!!
