Waves asked three very well-known engineers to lend them their analogue mixing consoles, in order that their programmers could analyse each desk's non-linear behaviour and unique sound. But what is it that's so special about mixing consoles? Well, many users claim that they add a certain richness, depth and harmonic complexity that tend to be beneficial in music production. The latest craze is to model the behaviour of vintage analogue mixing consoles. In recent years, a flood of distortion and saturation plug-ins has appeared, claiming to bring more "analogue sound” to your productions. Here, the NLS Channel plug-in (left) is in its SSL guise, while the Buss plug-in is emulating Mike Hedges' vintage EMI TG-series desk.
The NLS plug-in interface changes to reflect which of the three consoles you've chosen. Waves are the latest manufacturers to try to package the sound of large-format mixing consoles in plug-in form.
