The thing I noticed about TMT the first time I used the bx SSL plugins was what it did to the stereo image and depth. I copied a disabled instance in default with everything at unity to each track, and set each one to a different TMT channel. Then I turned them all on at once, and the difference just smacked me across the face, even though none of the EQ or channel gain was doing anything._leras wrote: Sat Jan 20, 2024 8:19 am TMT I'm not so sure about, seems to have some very minor and slightly random EQ differences from channel to channel... Not sure that it really adds anything overall.
It’s particularly effective on stereo tracks, because introduces slight differences in the left and right channels, which shifts the mix and puts each instrument in a unique space. Both TMT and MixFX work in a very similar way. They seem to break the instruments out of the mix and give more depth to the soundstage.
I had always felt that ITB mixes sounded smaller and flatter, like they’re behind glass, before I started doing things this way. These little processes and workflows I talk about really seem to break the glass.
