So as the Analog Heat Heat a few weeks out, it’s time to discuss some of the tricks for this very versatile effects box. You can use it as a compressor, expander, filter, destroyer, exciter. What else? Lets share some favorite settings.
Here are two of mine:
Long Sustain (also warm compressor):
This can make a nice long sustain, eg on sounds with an echo, it also dampens the hights a little bit on the attack with the filter , so it sounds rounder:
Charakter: Clean, Saturation, Enhancement or Classic Dist (with lower drive)
Drive: 100
wet: 122 (balance it, so that the sound is at the same loudness when changing from dry to wet)
dry wet: 63
Filter Type: LP 6dB
Freq: 100 (this chops a bit off the agressiveness)
Reso: 12
Filter Env: -11
lfo: 0
freqpan: 0
dirt: 0
EQ lo: 0 (change it for your own taste)
EQ Hi: 0 (change it for your own taste)
Env Mode: FLW +18 (adjust it to the maximum of the sound)
ATK: 9
Rel: 64
Trig Lvl: 111 (adjust it to the maximum of the sound)
Base: 0
Width: 127
Dest: Drive
Depth: -50
LFO: not used
Whipplash Snare:
This ist nice on a full drumkit and make the snare (or clap) very wide with added resonance for a sort of whipplash sound:
Charakter: Clean
Drive: 97
wet: 119 (balance it, so that the sound is at the same loudness when changing from dry to wet)
dry wet: 31
Filter Type: LP 6dB
Freq: 78 (adjust it so it fits to te snare sound)
Reso: 20
Filter Env: 35
lfo: 40
freqpan: 0 (Alternative for snare only: -40 makes it whip from left)
dirt: 0
EQ lo: 0 (change it for your own taste)
EQ Hi: 0 (change it for your own taste)
Env Mode: AR +18 (adjust it to the maximum of the sound)
ATK: 17
Rel: 17
Trig Lvl: 103 (adjust it to the maximum of the snare, so tat only the snare triggers))
Base: 80 (adjust to the frequency of the snare)
Width: 18 (adjust ist so that the hihat doesnt trigger anymore)
Dest: Filter Pan (this makes the wide stereo effekt, everytime the snare hits)
Depth: 78 (makes it whip to the right)
LFO: (is used as a second env. to quickly rise the filter resonance, everytime the snare hits)
Speed: 1
Mult: 1
Wave: Exp
Start: 0
Fade: 30 (Alternative: 40)
Mode: Trig (Alternative: One)
Dest: Filter Resonance
Depth: 60 (Alternative: 85)
