Recomandations for mastering tools

Post by geiger »

Hello!

Can you please help me with some recomandations regarding what you guys here use for mastering ( eq, compression, delays, reverbs, guitar amps.. )
Are there any good free Scope plugins designed to emulate tape delays or delays in general?
It will take me a while to purchase dNa tape delay so maybe you guys have some good alternatives.

Thank you!

Hi Geiger,

in mastering usually you don't use fx like guitar amps, delays or reverbs...thats 'more for the remixers amongst us.

Usually it's a combination of EQ, Compression and exciters/enhancers/wideners. This can all be found in the dNa-MultiCOMP, possibly combined with dNa-Stereo Equaliser and dNa-MasterCOMP.
But...the dNa-MultiCOMP is a loyalty gift only...sorry for that. (More info on dNaMusic.nl). So you might want to check the Mastering tools from dNa.

I also think Dante has some article on Mastering on ScopeRise, might want to check that.

Furthermore i read something on your DAW and wanting intuitive tools for mixing...check the dNa tools and philosophy...that is why i created those tools.

The dNa-TapeEcho, and the other Classic dNa tools like the Mastering Pack are very affordable, if not to say cheap and imho opinion worth the investment...why don't you write Sonic Core support a mail requesting a DEMO license for anyone of the plugins....you'll see, hear and experience how intuïtive they are, and possibly make a start on your expanded toolbox.

Best,
Ray

Absolutely Ray, you are right. Thank you! I know about the DNA Mastering tools, maybe I will get there in time to purchase them. But before that, I will need your Tape delay. GaryB recommends it as being great and I know it is a must, so I will ask for a trial on it first. I am trying to set a small home studio for me with pretty much everything that is imperative to record, mix and hopefully master a song. I don't know how to do the arrangements, but I will learn in time since the things are straight forward with Scope designed plugins. And yes, I was asking for intuitive tools and ready to go presets for them :)
