Unconventional Compression
Posted: Tue Aug 19, 2014 7:28 pm
Recently had to ditch the B2003 for better Tonewheel Sounds, and now that I have used
the VB3 for a while only use the B2003 as a Leslie effect for Solaris and certain Deep Purple sounds.
In the process of tweaking the VB3 though I was disappointed at how VSTi's still sound
in upper registers after being so satisfying in the middle registers.
So I started thinking outside of the box and remembered how audio can be expanded
and compressed/limited so I tried the good old stock S|C plugs and now when I use
drawbars (SpaceF CC2x2 x 3 for Exp. Pedal 1) and Swell (SpaceF CC2x2 for Exp. Pedal 2)
I get dead on Balls accurate sound as without these, the VB3 is another decent attempt
at a Hammond, but only for a couple of octaves.
These old stock plugs are the bomb as they use next to nothing for resources and I can
just peeper a mixers insert with them.
Glad sampled instruments don't suffer this native limitation.
The B2003 still has the best distorted Deep Purple tone, but the VB3 gets the rest of the
chores now.
