In this section, the preset makes the majority of its changes.

A Bandpass Internal SideChain from 50Hz to 5kHz.

An Enabled Parallel Compression Setting.

The Weiss DS1 includes presets designed by Bob Katz.Īlthough I won’t get into ever setting of the DS1, the main takeaways from this preset include: ‘Parallel Comp – Tonalisation Warm’ – Weiss DS1īob Katz has been an influential mastering engineer for decades – so getting to use his presets with the Weiss DS1 is pretty exciting. Lastly, you’ll notice that the output has been increased to compensate for the low input. If I was using this preset on a master, the first thing I’ll change would be this crosstalk setting – I’d most likely reduce it slightly to lessen the effect of stereo expansion. In the remote control section, you’ll notice that the high-frequencies have a slight boost to them, and the crosstalk has been increased. The crosstalk should be reduced to lessen the effect of stereo widening. This means that less distortion and less compression will occur furthermore, the frequency response will be cleaned up slightly by having its low-frequency range gently attenuated. Additionally, this allows for a higher distortion setting, since this distortion is going to occur to a lessened extent.Īnother important aspect is the tape speed, which has been increased to 30 inches per second.

This preset works by first reducing the level of the input – this ensures that the distortion doesn’t occur too aggressively. THD1 results in roughly 1 percent total harmonic distortion. As the name suggests, this preset results in roughly 1 percent Total Harmonic Distortion, which is just about the right amount for a master. ‘Clean Master THD1’ – Softube TapeĬlean Master THD1 is a fantastic way to add subtle harmonic distortion to a master quickly.

Try altering the slope between the bands if you’re finding that the attenuation seems unfocused or affecting too many frequencies. This results in pleasant and subtle stereo expansion since the side image is now louder relative to the mid-image.ĭepending on the mix, you may notice that the majority of the compression is occurring in the low-mids, which will also help to clean up your master. This Mid-Side setting lets you compress primarily the mid channel, resulting in a wider stereo image.īy switching the processing from Stereo to Mid/Side, the limiter attenuates gently and primarily on the mid image. To learn more about the FabFilter Pro-Q 3, here are 10 facts about the plugin:Īlthough most of the presets from this limiter are too aggressive to be useful, this one, in particular, can really improve the sound of a master. This will depend on your personal preference.Īlso, it might be a good idea to switch the phase from Zero Latency to Natural Phase or Linear Phase. By alternating these 2, the left and right channels maintain a roughly equal perceived loudness.Ī couple of changes that might be beneficial would be to highlight all bands and reduce their amplitude from roughly 1.5dB to 1dB or a little less. This, I believe, is to compensate for how lower frequencies mask higher ones. You can highlight all bands and reduce their amplitude to make it more subtle. Notice how the frequencies are selected – in the low end the right bell filter is slightly higher in frequency than the left, but this relationship is reversed in the higher frequencies. This preset very subtly expands the stereo width of a master.īy gently boosting the left and right channels by 2dB, but at slightly different frequencies, this effect causes stereo expansion without being too noticeable or detracting from the focus of a master. ‘Subtle Stereo Enhancer’ – FabFilter Pro-Q 3Ī lot of equalization presets greatly affect the frequency response – but the Subtle Stereo Enhancer does what its name suggests. This isolates all of the plugin’s modulation effects and other codependent drive functions to just the mid-channel.Īs a result, the effect can make the mid-range more present, and I get a little more control over the low and high-frequency ranges. What I like to do is create 3-bands with this preset. The Mix dial lets you adjust how much of the effect is heard. If you feel that it’s a little too aggressive, simply change the wet/dry of the plugin. What’s great about this preset is that it can be used on just about any master. The Tube setting adds realistic harmonic distortion. It provides realistic and amazingly rich-sounding analog emulation it also creates subtle but impressive stereo image effects via mid-side processing. ‘The Tube’ is included in both iterations of FabFilter’s Saturn plugin.
