Plugin that adds „analog flavor“ even in default setting?

[Sutnikoev]

64-bit double precision internal processing and super high oversampling quality settings.

Neve console version coming soon.

Just went over and read the description. This looks very promising!

Thanks for the tip!

Coming from different Angle; have you ever thought of an old mixer to achieve your exact goal?

If you’re looking for crosstalk, use Studio One and its proprietary Mix FX. There’s a Neve model, an EMI REDD model, a PreSonus model, an API model, a Tascam PortaStudio model, and 3 SSL models (4000, 9000, VHD+)

The Mix FX plugins add preamp drive, analogue noise, each console’s unique tone, and proximity-based crosstalk (where crosstalk only comes from adjacent channels.)

I am on Live for many years now. Jumping platforms for this is a bit overkill tbh

I have indeed. I tried it in real life. I eventually stopped using it pretty fast.
The workflow was exactly what I want to avoid. I am looking for a digital solution (I know it sounds funny) and I think many people could profit from it. I also am firmly convinced it is possible
but obviously not enough people "need" it or else it would be there.
Will test the suggestion of a member in this thread , meaning the Sonimus Console A
I read the description on the Devs homepage and it looks super smart

[Sutnikoev]

Does it also finally crosstalk to its neighbor channels like an old console would do?

I don't know that yet as I read about it on the Dev homepage but did not go into detail-did not read 100% of the text.
Will test it in the near future. It looks very promising and like a smart concept and I also had good experiences with older Sonimus plugins in the past

I actually have Satson and with that one there is only stereo crosstalk involved.

However, you saying you want to be able to add a thing to make magic in your channel strips whatever-the-volume, is unreasonable. If you stick a thing in it and your signal is above 0dB, you'll be slamming the ever-loving life out of whatever you're using to add mojo.

Yes, analog mojo of any kind is non-linear - and this means that proper gain-staging is key. The more analog mojo stages you add, the more care you need to put into gain-staging.

Od you could instead of course simply use a plugin that adds crosstalk, rather than switching DAWs

As far as I know, Studio One's Mix FX are the only truly authentic analog-summing effects whose crosstalk is proximity-aware and not limited to only stereo pairs. This is how crosstalk occurs in a large format console.

I don't know which DAW everyone is using, and of course we're having a wider discussion here. There are plenty of people who are already on Studio One who don't know much about the Mix FX but would benefit from them, and others who may not be on Studio One but would find this feature a reason to switch.

I had been using Slate Digital VCC, but I witched to CTC-1 when it came out, and it was a game-changer. I would have switched to Studio One for the Mix FX if I hadn't already been using it. Mix FX make that much of a difference.

This is precisely why I put each track through a "tracking" channel with a console + tape, then route to a "mixing" channel with a second console plugin, and work on the tracking and mixing stages separately with two different mixer views.

And since we're talking about Studio One's Mix FX, that is really the one-stop shop that answers the OP's question to a T. You just drop a single instance into your Master buss Mix FX slot, and it gives you console character, saturation, noise, and crosstalk all in one go. And you can dial in precisely how much you want of each, and it's passed down to every channel in the Studio One mixer.

If you want to change to a different console, you just drop in a different Mix FX plugin, and just like that, every channel in Studio One is a Neve channel, or an SSL channel, or an API channel.

You lost me there...


for me that's an absolute non-issue since I always seek to maintain unity gain - hence I do not see what the problem should be. You just need to take proper care, that's all. If you know what you do (&what it is that you want to achieve) it's easy enough to keep control.
