SUPERBOOTH 2024: Doctron - IMC Saturation Module

At Superbooth 2024 we hat the opportunity to meet up with *Stimming*, to talk about the latest product from his company Doctron, the *IMC*.

Originally designed for the stage, *IMC* is a high quality, all analogue saturation and mastering module in a very portable package. *IMC* gives you low and high shelf eq with a dedicated bypass, a VCA bus compressor with FF/FB detection and a Lundahl output transformer with a drive and gain reduction knob.

For price and availability check out the Doctron website.

I got a great demo of this at the show, the sheer amount of gain reduction without sounding overall pumping and silly was pretty astonishing.

Stimming is such a great guy and this sounds like it really lifts a mix! Carl cox uses one live

[JackNance]

Very cool. I like to add a touch of compression before hitting transformers as well, so I can saturate them as hard as I can without distorting them.

Please, Stimming as a Sonictalk guest one day.. Also, Great product for scene heros!

Maybe it’s possible to make a simpler one with only access to the drive and threshold parameters, and the other parameters fixed in a setting that works on most dance music, without the EQ.

The 500 series makes more sence. The Carbon version for live sets is just weird. Ever fiddelt with small Knobs in a club? Let the sound engineer fix it. Selling at Thomann with boutique prices.. using a Perkons drumcomputer but the master module needs to be mini.. Adding metering is a good idea.

"for those who dont have a computer..." what? 😵‍💫 look interesting

1.2 LUFS is absolutely not much at all. Plus: the most audible thing about the demo was the distortion it introduced. This is a brilliant studio tool, for controlled environments. But in live situations, it's an absolute train wreck... as a solo live act, you'd need to hire another person just to constantly monitor IMC and adjust the drive/threshold to keep that distortion in check. This is the exact opposite of "set-and-forget" I don't understand, why they keep marketing it as a live mastering tool.

This guy has no idea what he is talking about,
but since he is a "producer" i guess he doesn't have to..
