USING THE SPACE HEATER AS AN INSERT ON INDIVIDUAL TRACKS
One of our favorite ways to use the Space Heater is as an effect on
individual channels. Whether applying heavy distortion on a single
instrument to completely change its character, or simply adding
subtle warmth to a sterile recording, the Space Heater will add all
kinds of analog mojo to the music.
HARDWARE INSERT
Most hardware mixing boards are equipped with insert jacks on
every channel. These allow the Space Heater to be inserted before
the fader on an individual channel. Sometimes the option to be pre
or post EQ on the consoles channel strip is also possible.

USING THE SPACE HEATER IN-LINE
The Space Heater is a profes4dBu line level device. It can
be used ‘In Line’ (connected in series) with other analog hardware.
Try connecting the output from a microphone preamp directly into
the Space Heater input when tracking, or as the last device in a
recording chain.
USING THE SPACE HEATER AS A SOFTWARE INSERT
Most multi channel recording software programs provide a method
of setting up hardware inserts within the program. These utilize
different inputs and outputs on your audio interface, and allow them
to behave as an insert point within your software. This is the most
popular method of connecting the Space Heater when using it as
an effect.
