    So much precious tip!!, one that we dont have excess to most times. Thank you!! Now i got a insight on how i need to see those thd( if i refer right😅). I should go explore my stock plugins.

    • @HJ-lt2fu
      @HJ-lt2fu Год назад

      have one question. I recently bought the redd 17 made by abbey road. Do i have to see it as saturation plug in? Can i use it as stereo widener during masterting since it has mid side option. I should have bought the abbey road saturator.

    • @sageaudio
      @sageaudio  Год назад

      Thanks for watching! It looks like that plugin is a combination of saturation, EQ, and mid side processing - that said, you could use it for all of those things. So I'd see it as a multi-effects plugin that emulates a classic console.

      Hey weeschwee! Thank you for your comment - we agree! We've started adding more listening examples in our latest videos. Maybe in the future we'll create a similar video that provides some examples of saturation types.

    Do I need just one saturation plug-in in my mic channel strip or do I need multiple stages of saturation (comp, EQ, etc.) for best results?

    • @sageaudio
      @sageaudio  3 года назад +2

      Thanks for watching Josh! It depends! For example if the recording has some saturation already from the pre, then maybe only 1. If you want a more saturated sound maybe combine tape and tube distortion. Lots of variables so hard to say what's best!

  • @briancase6180
    @briancase6180 Год назад

    You got it wrong...again. Compression and saturation reduces dynamics not dynamic range. Dynamic range is a property of a channel or storage format. Dynamics are the differences between loud and soft volumes. Like ppp vs fff in music.

    • @sageaudio
      @sageaudio  Год назад +1

      Thanks for watching Brian! I use the term 'Dynamic Range' as the term for the difference between the loudest and quietest parts of the signal. It might not be the absolute most technically correct way to use the term, but it is a pretty common way it's used.
