McDSP Analog Channel
« on: July 22, 2010, 08:40:36 am »
Hi,

I would like to know if anybody has any experience with the Analog Channel plugin by McDSP. It's an analog pre-amp/tape emulation that runs on ProTools but soon to be released as an AU plugin, which I'll then be able to use as I don't have ProTools.

I know that people on Gearslutz keep praising it but I have the feeling they work mostly with drums, guitars etc.

I was wondering if anyone had used it for ambient and microsound music.

Thanks

I find plugins like this useful for any kind of music when used properly.  I use a few flavors of tape/tube sims for color here and there and that is my kind of thing.  I don't have ProTools so I can't remark on the McDSP plugs specifically.

as Billy said. any console or vintage emulation plug in scan help any kind of music *if you're after a "vintage" sound*

personally, I am, and love trying to build console emulations in my DAW and try to chase a slightly dirty, textural vibe.

there's a few such plugs on the market. don't think any have really nailed the console yet. but they do add flavor to a mix.

ps: bi,ly, I'm sitting here with ken on BI. he says you're a punk for not visiting.

Thanks for your replies, really appreciated. Yes I am looking to add something warmer and textural  to my sound and so far have only use native plugin on my DAW to achieve this, but keen to experiment with console emulation and tape saturation type things. l'll give a try to this McDSP plugin when it is released in AU format.

i think we definitely need to start a new thread for this.
