Hi! i was wondering, does anyone use the AH on their master mix in their daw using the overbridge plugin?
Which settings are your favorite (algorithm, drive level, level knob, and mix)?
things like the input sensitivity setting and such are not necessary to set when using overbridge right?
thanks!
Yes, I do. Honestly more often on mixbuses than on the master, but when it’s on the master I do it very conservatively on enhancement mode, full wet, low drive, level to gain match.
And yes, input sensitivty is not applicable when using overbridge.
It’s a different job, but I love to send the master mix to the AH+FX with much more aggressive settings, and subtly blend it back to the master mix.
hey, I’ve just recently started using the Heat on Overbridge for mastering.
I’m trying to keep things simple, at the moment it’s mostly just set to Clean Boost, with Drive, Level and Mix all set to full.
If it looks like it’s clipping a little on the outgoing signal then I just adjust the Level knob.
(I’ve got one track so far which was a little more minimal and so I was able to set it to Enhance, think it was around 65% wet).
I tend to start with the EQ set on both to around 3 o’clock.
I did have the high eq set further but dialled it back as certain rims and snares were hurting my ears with headphones on.
I really want to lean in to the Heat sound, but so far I find Clean Boost on full is a manageable amount of crunch (worth noting that a lot of the parts from my tunes are individually recorded through the Heat in the first place, so probably a fair amount of crunch going on in the mix).
The first thing I noticed when I started these masters was how nicely everything sat in the mix. I’m really pleased at the overall feel the Heat gives the tunes.
If you want reference, here’s the tracks:
thanks! also saw an ezbot video today on how he uses the analog heat + fx
I think ezbot doesnt understand what to do with this device
