Plugin
★★★★★I like the warm sound for the master bus. giving to your song's specific character, depending on the color or character you have in mind, you can manipulate it to achieve the taste you are looking for.
On the mix bus, they achieve that analog warmth and tube coloration that makes your song less artificial. It gives a sound almost identical to a real saturator, for less money than a device usually costs.
On vocals, use it very subtly, as the effect is greatly appreciated as soon as you move the pentode knob. -
Black Box Analog
★★★★☆Very good glue on the Drums -
I have the hardware, too
★★★★★I own the Black Box HG-2, which sits in my analog mastering chain. The plug-in is quite faithful to it. I can use either and great result. The only key difference is that my hardware unit was fitted from the factory with 12AT7 (vs 12AX7) tubes in the saturation circuit, so, the hardware doesn't quite "break-up" as quickly as the plug-in. I just view that as using the hardware in mastering and the plug-in in mixing. But I do use the plug-in often in mastering. Also, you don't have to calibrate the plug-in every so often as the tubes age.
One cool benefit of the plug-in is that you can set an overall "drive", which doesn't exist in hardware.
Anyway, put this plug-in on your mix-bus, set the saturation to 20% (not-alternate tube, and Flat setting), and the Pentode to 51%. Click Bypass on and off. See if it doesn't immediately cause you to click the purchase button... -
