Hi All,
I was file, WUMP X - 3337.
Having taken a short break from the WUMP X files, and having returned to chart down the route taken, I feel, my file does sound slightly grainy!!, a little more, than I'd like it to be.
Anyway, I used a very simple process, if one could call it that.
Here we go >>
DAW: Vegas Pro v6.0
File: 44/24kHz
Parallel Vegas Buses: All stereo BUS OUTPUTS at -8db.
BUS 1#
UAD 1176LN: Input +6, output: +18, Attack: 2
Release: 2, Ratio: 4, -3db Gain reduction.
BUS 2#
UAD Fairchild: AGC: Lateral, Mode: Unlink, Input +4, Thresholds: Mid -4db, Side -10db, Time constant: 2, output; -10db, Bias L/R: 12o'clock, Balance: Default.
BUS 3#
ROGER Nichols-Detailer: Gain: 0db, Xover: L-M:127hz, M-H:2950Khz, Bias: 0, Drive +0.7db, Dither: NO
On a revisit, maybe, it's these buses which smeared a bit of grain on the frequency realestate, or maybe the A/D or D/A, ... coming up...
Vegas Playback Track:
Waves Ren Desser: Freq: 5633kHz, Type: Bell, Mode: Split, Range: -18db, Threshold: -33db, out put -1db.
It's quite light, considering how sharp the track felt to me.
RME Fireface out >> Input: FocusRITE Platinum Series Master Pack; for slight warm/summing etc..
Comp: Threshold: -5 db, Lf/Hf: Odb, Ratio: 2.0, Slow attack: on, Release: PDS. Tilt: 70hz, LF shelf: -1.5, Mid: 590hz +2.0db, Q: 0.8, HF: 20khz 0.db. Image: in, Width: 1 o'clock'ishh..Limiter: In, Outout: +2db.
The low tilt and and the -1.5db LF shelf, was the reason for the thinning out of the track.
Capture: DAW #2:
WAvelab: RME Firface800: Input, 88 24kHz capture
MAster DAW #2: TC MD3: Only Dither: on 16bit, Output -0.03db.. and the mischievous DC Remove:@ a staggering 6hz, that's it! Another, anemic contributor!
Some would suspect the RME800 FireFace, frankly, I am happy with it, for now.
. For the next WUMP, I am keen to run the TC PCore: Dynamic EQ, very nice.....
WUMPING at PSW:
A great filtering and test lab process, and an insight into the juiceiest highlights of peoples and engineers tastes and influences, which eventuely are siphoned onto their works and this thread.
Wonderful stuff!! A serious Inspiration!
Thanks a heap, me matey's..
