The other 15% of digital technology infused into my hybrid system is WAVES Mercury plugins used in SONAR 8.5 Producer Edition. My tracking/mixing/mastering studio, it's obvious preference for and collection of hardware and the workflow's functionality are-all together-about 85% analogue. The Kramer Tape, Aphex Vintage Exciter and the NLS Buss and Channel plugins are great for adding natural sounding tape saturation. For tighter, fatter and cleaner lows plugins like LoAir and MaxxBass patched after a good EQ plug do the trick and sound incredible. When I'm mastering my go to limiters are the 元 UltraMaximizer and L2 which I use directly after Izotope 7's Maximizer. V-EQ4 Vitamin Sonic Enhancer Vocal Rider W43 Noise Reduction Plugin Waves Tune Waves Tune LT Waves Tune Real-Time. On kick, snare, OH's, toms guitars, bass and vocals I pretty much always have a VEQ4 (equalizer), SSL Comp, API2500 (compressor), NLS Buss (NEVE console module for adding the vintage desk's natural drive) and for certain things a CLA-76 or CLA-2A. It wa made to replicate the sound of a NEVE 1081 mixing console module and that it does. So many of the digitally remodelled vintage plugins almost precisely emulate the sound of the originals by accurately imitating their 'colorization' and 'tonal character'. However, no matter how much analogue gear I own and use regularly, I use WAVES Mercury plugins just as much if not more. Waves Mercury Bundle Features: 150+ processors, 400+ plug-ins for total creativity and processing tour-de-force in one comprehensive bundle Tools for every. I'm a professional audio engineer who's young enough to embrace digital technology and old enough to remember recording songs to a blue four track Tascam and having to get physically active manipulating 32 faders, reaching down to barely adjust the parameters of heavy, space consuming hardware stacked on top of one another and secured to the rack mounts built into my custom, modified mixing desk that I built from scratch. WAVES Mercury Bundle is a dream even for an analogue guy
