ANY GOOD FREE MASTERING PLUGINS TAPE OP WINDOWS
They're a new company so there's some rough edges (eg Windows version doesn't have an installer yet) and it's VST3 only. I used it on an ambient Eno-inspired track and I felt it got me closer to that Boards Of Canada sound.
I'm drawn to stuff like the Redd console and the Tape Saturation in hopes of making my music sound less digital.On the "less digital" point, I'd suggest taking a look at the SketchCassette plugin from Aberrant DSP. I also tend to be relatively light on master buss processing (EQ, comp, limiter) and opting to defer to each channel separately as needed. I tend to use less processing and prefer to focus on dynamic range, width, depth over the course of the song in time.
Most important for me in this case whenever I attempt minimal, is having a wide selection/choice/control over the instruments, control over midi or automation. Is it actually sounding too digital (harsh), or are you simply looking to instill more 'warmth' or 'age' or 'color'? And is that on the master buss, or on the per channel level? It depends on your goals for a song and under very particular specific sound design conditions. It's neither a good or bad thing or a rule to follow. Transparency itself is a troubling word to use in general terms. The suggestion that Logic or any DAWs built in plugins are not 'transparent' enough, and then recommending Abbey Road and J37 and DBX, 元 is interesting. I understand Waves' limiters and compressors are more transparent than Logic's native plugins which is good.Ĭonsidering the description of your minimalist musical style, I can't say I agree at all with that list of Waves plugins for the master, but that's subjective. I'm drawn to stuff like the Redd console and the Tape Saturation in hopes of making my music sound less digital. I'm curious if anyone has had this experience of releasing their own music and trying to decide whether these kinds of plugins were appropriate. The chain he worked with was all Waves stuff (except EQ for removing subs): He also recommended a plugin chain he liked which would cost me $200+ which is totally reasonable, but I've actually never bought plugins before and it's a bit hard to say what substantial difference they'll make. The instructor made a case against using native Logic plugins which he acknowledged were good but not really transparent enough. I did take a Udemy course on mastering last weekend that was helpful. For that reason, it's been hard to get advice that applies to what I'm doing.Īs I master my own stuff, I have been trying to be conservative, finish at about -14 LUFS / -1 or -2 True Peak, very little compression, -0.3dB limiter ceiling. I make low-key instrumental music that veers between post-rock, minimal guitarists (Roy Montgomery, Loren Connors, etc) and warm ambient music like Fennesz or William Basinski.įor anyone familiar with any of that - there is zero emphasis on stuff like drums or bass or any overlap whatsoever with what a lot of audio production sites seem to focus on, which is stuff like EDM and pop music.
