Hi, everybody.
So there are a lot of channel strip plug ins that seem pretty popular around here. Various SSL emulations, REDD, other offerings from Metric Halo, Hornet, iZotope, etc.
I guess my first question is: why put filtering, EQ and compression on a single plugin when you can just mix and match to taste with many different specialized plugins as needed? Is it mainly a workflow thing? I can understand if you're looking to emulate an analog console sound but some of these plugins aren't emulating an analog desk.
Secondly, how do YOU usually use channel strip plugins? Do you put them on every single track? Buses? Aux? Master fader?
Recently I tried slapping on an SSL G emulation on basically every track in a project and A/Bing that with my original mix. I found it changed the character of the drums markedly. The high-fi quality I had in the original mix gave way to more rounded, punchier sound with a lot less highs in the cymbals but arguably a more balanced and cohesive result. Honestly I don't know which sound I prefer though.
