After hearing such good things about the PSP Vintage Warmer, I picked one up a couple of months ago.

I really haven't spent a lot of time with it yet, but was curious how others are using it.

Any comments, tips, suggestions?

Thanks!

Thanks ACB... :)

So tell me, what is a kick rum??? Must be a Brazilian drink, eh? :D Hehe...

Thanks for the response, but I have a few more questions:

How are you using it on the individual instuments you listed, as a MB compressor, or single-band?

Have you used it on the 2-track as a mastering tool?

How are you using it on overheads???

Any specific hints for the bass guitar?

Thanks again!

ahahahahaaa. I dunno why, but I think I type too fast and do not reread what I post. What a moron.

Kick Rum is a drink that as long as you drink after midnight, it kicks ya to your home. No taxi needed.lol

If you wish, I can send you some templates I myself created. Generally I have been using it as a multiband tool.

I have a new song here I used the VW on kick drums, overheads, bass and electric guitars.
It sounds huge, not squeezed.

For junior mastering, I have used it with:

(a) Q10 > Vintage Warmer > Power Dither > PAZ
sometimes using TC Master X limiter with a ceiling of -0.1 with all the other functions disabled.

I love the Vintage Warmer too. I try though not to use it on too many tracks since it colours quite allot.

I use it mostly on a group channel for my drums, with the mix ratio about 60/40 or so.

I never use it on the Master because of its colouring.

Too much of the Vintage Warmer will make the sound to harsh and messy!!

The right amount will make it sound punchy and warm ;)
