It’s super easy to use, and works on virtually any source. This emulation of the classic 10-band graphic equalizer is my go-to for boosting frequencies. Tip: Although this was clearly designed for the master bus, try using it on kick, snare and bass to transparently tame volume. When you click on the frequency, it solos the band, allowing you to quickly sweep through and find unwanted, unmusical content. My favorite Mid-Side EQ, and usually the very first plugin on my mix bus. Tip: For lead guitar or bass, try running 2 instances of Decapitator in serial, “punish” on both, and mess around with the settings until you have the most buzzy, brash, hilariously distorted sound ever. You can make toms bigger, warm up a vocal, or absolutely destroy a drum bus. It’s also one of the first plugins to incorporate a dry/wet knob. This thing has 5 different unique distortion types, tons of tone shaping options, and can work on basically anything. The fast transient will allow the compressor to react more quickly than with the original kick or snare sound. Use this cowbell track for any sidechain compression. Tip: Create a triggered track using a cowbell sample. With all the great drum VSTs out there like BFD3 and Abbey Road Drums, if you don’t use augmentation to a certain extent, you’re really limiting yourself, not like with an L2, but like, you know. After analyzing a waveform, DRT creates near sample-accurate triggers, with velocity information included. There are plenty of great triggering software options out there, I’m just really used to this one. Email me and I’ll send you my 40-page thesis on the subject! Roger Nichols (the engineer for Steely Dan) invented the Wendel drum computer in 1978, so this is a technique that’s been around for a long time. Massey DRT (Formerly DTM)įace it, drum augmentation and replacement is an essential tool to a mix engineer. Tip: The Binsonette style type for the warmest, smoothest delay you’ve ever heard. If I had to only use one plugin on an entire session, I’d use this one. Soundtoys nailed different delay sounds through the decades. It’s like a history lesson on delay, is easy to use, and can additionally be used as a distortion/eq. This is maybe my favorite plugin ever, and for several reasons.
