What’s in my chain ? Took me a while to decide what corresponds to my workflow here’s how I use it.
@soundperformancelab Masterbay is the control center with 4 inserts and mandatory trims and loudness compensation for those precise A/B.
Kraftwerk 1366 Transformers on insert 1 you don’t see them on the pictures they’re integrated in the desk, inspired by the Marinair 1366 bringing subtil musical character.
@simonklontz MES-435s insert 2, 5bands mastering EQ accurate and feature filled Sontec clone. Precise or broad brush strokes, do it all, I like to slightly boost with it and cut in digital.
@dangerousmusic Compressor insert 3, crystal clear compression, the Smart Dyn dual-slope is mind blowing for transient transparency.
@thermioniccultureltd The Phoenix m+ insert 4, always wanted a vari-mu this one is my favorite, from transparent to true tube sound, extremely natural, beautiful tone without pushing it.
Crane Song HEDD192 for my DA/AD conversion, an almost vintage converter but still sounds perfect, the digital processing is very useful and brings the inner harmonic details when needed.
I am not dependent on analog gear, those are tools that brings me efficiency and comfort in my workflow.
