DANGEROUS MUSIC
mix buss.
Tip 1:
,
Both color options employ True Hard Wired Bypass technology. When the effect
is disengaged, the circuitry is completely out of the signal path, providing true
A/B comparisons. This also allows you to use the
2-BUS-XT
in its purest form as
the most transparent analog summing mixer available to (wo)mankind.
Tip 2:
,
Automate your color circuits by assigning one to inputs 15-16. For COHERENCE,
turn the parallel knob completely clockwise. Then create an Aux Send in your
DAW and send the signal from any tracks or busses to this output. Bad ass,
right?
05. EFFECTS CONTROL: X-FORMER III
[HARMONICS CONTROL PICTURED ABOVE]
Feature: Welcome to our third unique and handsomely tuned transformer based harmonic
distortion series generator. (1 is in 2-BUS+ and 2 is in CONVERT-AD+.)
Benefit: The X-FORMER III insert may be just the thing to fatten up a horn section, guitars,
or vocals in a unique way compared to traditional EQs and compressors. Chosen
to be clear and powerful while providing even harmonics and a slight top-end
saturation when hit hard to soften spiky transients. Thicken up a pair of tracks
or even an entire mix by introducing a controlled amount of analog distortion.
Operation: Select where to insert the effect (i.e. Buss 15-16 or the Master Buss).
Tip:
,
Experiment on different material, like a solo kick, bass vs. synth pads or
background vocals or an entire mix. Our ear is more forgiving to low frequency
distortion (ie. on the kick vs. cymbals). Also try pushing it harder or gentler from
your DAW. Remember, once you find a patina you love, print it and use the color
circuit on something else next!
