This is an awesome trick - thanks for sharing. I was able to recreate the -80 dB trim with Waves Studio Rack plug-in, which makes it more difficult to blow your ears out. Open a blank instance of Studio Rack > first module as a multiband split. Set the crossover to 20000 kHz and turn off the multiband module to the right. Set the input trim on the multiband module to the left to -80 (this will be the input trim for the Scheps 73). Put Scheps 73 as the second module (with the settings in your video) In the third module, just recreate the first multiband module with the exception that the input trim is at 0. This 3rd multiband module functions as your output trim. Now you can just toggle the Studio rack plugin on/off for easier A/B’ing / gain staging. Hope that makes sense!
Not sure if I explained the large volume bump. So digital goes by peak level. Long story short, the reason you are hearing it louder is based on RMS volume because of the saturation is acting like a limiter. Making the volume louder but still at the same peak level. That's one way to make your songs louder at 0.1db than other songs. Maybe I'll do a video on that to explain it better so you understand.
Hey Joely, I’m so glad you mentioned this. This is true, it was louder, much louder but, this is a key reason why you use this tip. This tip can bring out anything in your mix and make it sound louder but as you can see, it still had the same “Peak” levels. This is something that analog did very well and was a very hidden secret when using “Tube Gear”. Same with using gear with “Transformers, Tape, Pre-Amp’s” etc or with high end gear. You can really bring out the sound to make it sound louder but really it’s just bringing up the RMS level which makes it sound louder but in digital, digital goes by peak levels mostly. It’s a very long story and I would suggest to read up on “RMS” or “RMS levels to Peak Levels” to see what the differences are. This is so key to get your music louder or to stand out etc. hope this helps! Thanks for asking a great question and I hope I answered it though I gave you homework too... hahaha
The input fader controls the volume going into the circuit (pre-processing), the output fader is for the the post processing. So the harder you drive the input fader, the more signal that goes into the circuit, just like the hardware unit. In the hardware unit...this will affect the amount of signal that hits the transformer. It is also emulated by the plugin the same way.

Great tip. Keep'em coming!
great run down mate
Thanks so much for watching. I really appreciate it. Spread the word.
Great tip Marc but that second example had a very large volume bump

@@PlugMEin Please do that video.
Hey Marc. You may want to go live so we can see how you knock out these large sessions.
That might be a while right now but I can see that happening in the future.
I will be comparing that SSL saturator vs this tonight to test the types of saturation I can get on vocals.
Yes. maybe doing the Waves Scheps73 first, then EQ into compression then the SSL version.
Hey Marc, does this work with other Neve 1073 simulations? (specifically the plugin alliance one)
Yes but not as much as this plugin. The Lindell plugin from PA is more subtle. Hope that helps.
OMG!! Love it.
Thanks so much. I appreciate it!

The faders are only for volume according to the manual, so changing these doesn’t affect saturation
The input fader controls the volume going into the circuit (pre-processing), the output fader is for the the post processing.
