SATURATION 

 
Many important mixing engineers use analog consoles for comfort and also for 
the  capacity  to  saturate  the  console  summing  bus.  When  we  speak  about 
creating a mix with ‘’punch’’, ‘’glue’’ or ‘’impact, we are speaking largely about 
the effects of the console analog saturation. So, exactly the same occurs with 
the Epsilon II. When we saturate the Epsilon II summing bus the same effects 
appear as when using an analog console. 

 

In  the  following  diagram  we  have  showed  an  example  of  a 

’’clean’’  non-

saturated mix: 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In  a  ‘’clean’’  mix  the  DAW  output  levels  are  normal  or  ‘’low’’.  Inside  our 
summing bus the signal levels are will be closet o 0VU=+4dBu and the Epsilon 
II  master  fader  doesn't  require  attenuation,  it´s  positionated  at  0dB. 

Remember:

 the master fader is post-summing bus.
