• Crosstalk on stereo buses.
Just like an analog console, the overall sound character is the sum of all the separate processing
stages. Depending on the console type and settings, some of the benefits you may experience
include:
• A wider sound stage.
• Increased sense of spatial cohesion.
• More depth and definition.
• A bit more warmth and aggression.
• Easier to balance levels across tracks.
Controls
There are two versions of the Console Emulator module:
•
Console Emulator Channel. This version is designed for individual tracks.
• Console Emulator Bus. This version is designed for buses. It contains the same controls as
the Channel version, except it does not have a Trim control.
Figure 324. Console Emulator Channel and Bus modules.
The Console Emulator module contains the following controls:
•
Mode. Selects the desired console emulation mode. For each mode, the Console Emulator
module closely resembles the hardware it is modeled after.
• S-Type. Emulates a clean and transparent British console that is popular among mixing
engineers in rock and pop genres. This console has potentially been used on more platinum
selling albums than all other consoles combined.
• N-Type. Emulates a British console that is used in legendary recording studios, including
Abbey Road, The Village, Ocean Way, and Skywalker Sound. This console is warm and has a
rich low end.
• A-Type. Emulates a revolutionary British console, of which only 13 consoles were ever built.
This console was made famous at Trident Studios and Cherokee Studios. This console has a
brighter top and less lows than the N-Type console. Some consider this best sounding
console of all time.
