Mixing & Mastering secret weapon? How to get the best from your mix & master (Vertigo VSM3 w/PRESET)

It is so easy to forget about old plugins with the plethora of software and hardware we have at our disposal. In this video, I illustrate how I use Plugin Alliance's Vertigo VSM3 on a master. A little secret spice from way back.

"Everybody loves a secret weapon" sold me instantly. I don't even need to watch the rest.

I love your presets on the LISA plugin from Plugin Alliance!

Thank you for the preset! I tweaked the output a little in order to match levels better on the material I was working on. VSM-3 is still great! On another master, VSM-3 surpassed the SSL Fusion Transformer, Acustica Celestial ME and True Iron I was also testing each in turn. The other plugins are great as well -- it just depends on what you want.

Good work! Do you find any difference with respect to the same plugin in UAD?

[tendingtropic]

couldnt you just use wavesfactory spectre for this? or saturn?

I wuz just about to ask how one went about applying this preset, then I thought I'd give drag'n'drop a try ...
