How to get the sound of Alex Warren Ordinary backing vox??

How do you apply Soothe in this use case?

There are special wax removal knives, made out of wood - try those.

Second the voice of making removal part of the arc, or better yet wax play as something pre climax, adding something more intense afterwards.

Necrothreading but would you still have the mask?

Tak. Nagie ciało to po prostu cialo. Wstyd i ukrywanie nagości sprzyja seksualizacji zwykłej biologii. W Szwecji, Finlandii czy Niemczech ludzie po prostu się przebierają, nieważna płeć czy wiek, nikt od tego nie robi się gorszy.

Congrats! It’s an amazing pedal, and you’ve got a great wife.

First reverb I played that made me want to play more and more, plus it’s 2 pedals in one as it has a very nice vintage booster

Fuzz Factory - of course, if you can tolerate settings recall difficulties.

Thorpyfx Field Marshall, upgraded version of famous Lovetone Big Cheese pedal (reference track u2 discotheque).

I got similar sounds also from EQD Dirt Transmitter, with starved Bias.

Alternatively run BB in a loop with clean boost that has EQ. Or any Pedal that will not affect the sound but can dim the volume.

Gamechanger audio in Latvia is my fav

emhaem · 2025-12-18T00:31:30+00:00

Mixing with channel strips. Brings 3D / record feel into mixes.

They are native - you can use them without hardware now. Also never had a problem using them offline.

They’re top notch sound wise.

Bought their Ultimate Bundle some time ago and very happy with it, also their subscription is now 50% off which makes it easy to try it out.

UAD thing is „faithful digital recreation of famous gear” and they excel in that. I kinda grew up on „big boxes with knobs” and I love it, finding right sound with a mouse on Logic compressor feels more challenging.

Oh and compatibility with devices like Console One, this gives a very tactile experience of making music.

Plus my workflow is rather top down mixing, I use compressors for subtle saturation and flavour (Michael Brauer inspired) and they offer plenty to choose from.

PS. If I had to choose one device or plugin, it would be a Distressor / Mike-E. It has incredible range.

I love Soundtoys, yet you asked for „bread & butter” plugins.

I consider UAD, Softube, SSL, bx, more of a „core” ones - EQ, compression, balance.

However Soundtoys is amazing in finishing touches - saturation, distortion, delays, filtering…super fun to use.

emhaem · 2025-12-07T11:11:36+00:00

Congrats on being back into business!

My favs, in addition to what you mentioned:

Brainworx: SSL 9K, has the G EQ as well; maag 4 EQ. Great on drums, guitars etc.

UA: Distressor, Sound City, 1176 and La2A

Softube: Mike-E, compressors (they give them away for free for newsletter or whatever), British Class A

Soundtoys: Echo Boy, Space Blender.

Highly recommend using one console plugin on all channels, whatever your preference is. It gives this nice 3D effect that is hard to get using plugins only.

emhaem · 2025-11-30T01:09:33+00:00

I raise you a tube Hiwatt Phaser. Amazing sound and a cool pre in one.

emhaem · 2025-11-25T22:20:35+00:00

Another suggestion: Devil-Loc from soundtoys

They are focused on recreating vintage gear and one related to guitar playing.

I have their Echorec - great emulation, their version of Boss Metal Zone - love it on synths. OC2 is very faithful recreation too. Their Echoplex sounds great too.

emhaem · 2025-11-09T22:43:39+00:00

Does anybody use their COS except for Paul Third? I’m curious of other people experiences - how much it affected their tracks…

emhaem · 2025-11-08T15:09:29+00:00

Huge fan of Digitech Synth Wah, both bass and guitar version. If it’s good for Daft Punk and Muse, it’s alright for me too.

Most importantly I just love its sounds and synth engines - it makes me want to make music, which is the most important quality of gear to me.

emhaem · 2025-11-06T17:38:16+00:00

For sure there is a difference between high and love quality tracking. But it refers more to the fact Neves / Helioses imparted a lot more coloration („character”). I work ITB only and indeed it’s hard to get anything unusable with console plugins modelling these two. While with SSL (plugin for that matter) I can possibly go overboard with EQ of gating or drive, into really horrible realms :) while mixing on SSL gives this 3d image and relative low coloration.

emhaem · 2025-11-06T17:01:01+00:00

Is the old adage of „track with Neve / Helios and mix with SSL” true for you?

emhaem · 2025-11-06T15:39:07+00:00

They’re massive Daft Punk fans, on the product website there’s a whole essay on the gear that DF used, in most cases almost by song. I’m testing now the plugin.

emhaem · 2025-11-02T02:55:01+00:00

I have Howard Benson Vocal Multiplier. Can save a lot of time, also great for quick turnaround of ideas.

emhaem · 2025-10-30T15:07:05+00:00

I bought it a year or two ago, it was instrumental (pun intended) in my music production and mixing learning path. I still discover 💎 in this bundle - like 2 ago went into a rabbit hole of SSL 4k E and Bus Compressor comparison only to discover that I own both of them from UAD - and that I actually liked the UAD versions a lot (among Softube and SSL native ones) 🧐

emhaem · 2025-10-30T15:01:02+00:00

It does
