this is exactly how I set up my sessions ..I have a template for every channel strip I have and now that I have this hi power comp I can actually get away with it..thx once again David

[DavidSJ_DAP]

I have tried it both ways, tape first and tape last, and I settled on tape LAST...you're right, it's a very personal choice and there's no correct answer...

Excellent as usual, Dave...

[richiefamus]

Hey Dave. You taught me this setup a good while back, but someone sent me this video and I decided to watch it anyway! All I can say is great video, and even BETTER courses. 👍🏾

[zeppo]

I add a preamp first, then tape, use transform in studio one (because I use an Mapro 3.1) then channel strip and the rest is like you.

[JackLove]

Will try btw it's better choice to send all audio tracks to stereo bus and put tape & VCC on them instead of putting on all tracks don't know if it's possible in studio one but pro tools does very well

[scottking]

Thanks. Very helpful. Wondering though how to set up that template you speak of.

[azfarhassan]

Loved the video. I'd love to hear the before and after difference after putting these plugins.

[MikeVlcek]

Interesting. I use a similar setup, but with slightly different plugins and order. Channels usually start with Kazrog True Iron (transformer emulator), then through my console of choice, your very same Bx_SSL 4000E. Then I add VCC, usually the Brit 4K that you also use and finish off hitting tape with IK’s Tape 80. Now, this is a resource hungry plug, so I freeze my tracks. On the buses, I also use VCC and no tape. For the master bus, instead of the Waves Bus compressor, I use Brainworx’s Townhouse, which is awesome and in the same ballpark compression wise. Nice video, mate.

Sorry for my ignorant question but if I want to apply some corrective eq with a different plugin than the channel strip's eq, where should I place it in the chain?

[HariMaiamusic]

Hello, I really love the video! Very nice! Really. But i still have a question... Should I already do this while producing or only in the mixing phase? Thanks!

[tri-unetrl]

Should I put a tape machine before or after Izotope Ozone in a signal chain?

[patrickwilliams]

Hey I enjoy what you share but Why not use the Tape multitrack option with the Softube Tape? I saw you use it before...

[MindLightRelaxingMusic]

No (colour) channel strip or other flavour on fx channels?

[jeffsalvatore]

I use an Apollo for recording. So, recording in, would I do unison preamp/EQ to compression to tape emulation going in? And then insert a channel strip on the individual track?

[lillightstruck]

when my pc cant handle any more plugins can i buy more ram or this dont work?

[johnludwig]

Thanks, Dave. Another excellent template in my catalog!

[Toolsquatch]

But isn’t using the console plugin *and* a channel strip redundant? Channel strips provide their own console emulation on their own, going console-to-console seems like it might cause issues with a faithful emulation and introduce additional processing that wouldn’t be there in a real analog studio workflow.

[rdworldvibe]

Should I put the tape machine on my instrument busses as well?

[tri-unetrl]

If I use Softube Tape in Studio One as a mix fx can I still use Slate Digital VTM on the master bus as the master tape?

[iamjuanito]

Season's Greetings! Great tutorial man, i learn a lot. Can you help me out? for example, I'm done with one track ( dealing for my taste ) this is assumed to be bounced? so I can start the mixing part and get rid of all the analog emulation plugins? Thanks in advance Man, I appreciate it. Bassty of Philippines..
