Charles, for the guys that can not gain access to some of the plugs you use for saturation in the Ptle environment or vst, can you recommend any other plugs as a substitute worthy to take the place of the AC1 specifically and the DUY tape.
Cheers

Studio Channel SC-226
$129.00
stereo channel recording plug-in
The Nomad Factory Studio Channel SC-226 is a stereo channel recording plug-in, featuring four band equalizer, an analog "signature" optical compressor and at the heart of the shelving and bell filters, a tube simulator and
Brick-Wall peak limiter designed to reproduce the warmth of vintage recordings with unrivaled quality and realism. The Studio Channel is tube style virtual equalizer / compressor. It is equally suited for delicate vocal as well as dynamic instrument recordings such as lead guitar, bass guitar, drums and horns. The algorithm was designed to emulate the response of a high-end vintage analog equalizer/compressor. The Studio Channel plug-in is available in RTAS, VST and AudioUnit format for MAC OSX and Windows 2000/XP.
doesn't do dual mono and that seems to be where AC1 comes alive. Logic doesn't allow dual mono plugs. I don't think DP does either, so it needs to be built into the plug design to have a dual mono mode. Nomad makes a compressor that has the dual mono switch. Maybe they can add this feature to a later version. It is also tube saturation and not class A, but the soft clip limiter might exibit similar charater to the AC1. I haven't demoed it yet. I'll try it out though.
I did load the PT session from the Milar DVD. I don't have most of the plug-ins. The use of Soundtoys pitch blender eats up most of my mix card so I had to turn it off, and then just using d-verbs on the buses, i ran out of dsp before I had even laoded all of them. My mix plus just can't handle that many reverbs and certainly can't handle much when running pitch blender. Natively my dual 1.42 can handle way more processing than the mix cards but with the limitation of TDM only on buses this mix just isn't possible on my setup. So, I'll have to go to the individual part sessions to try and use them with the video.
I do like it and think is entertaining to watch and learned quite a bit.
What I would like to see from you Charles, is a series of advanced DVD's. Where you take up where y ou left off here and just go through mixing of different types of music. Like a hip-hop track, or a R&B track with loads of vox. And, you could just right to the mixing assuming we had completed the first DVD's and learned and understand the techniques.
