Great coincidence reading Adam's post about the the Lavry Gold Soft Sat. I'm working on a Gospel album with decent content but amaturish mixing and production and so am using every trick to make it into a decent master. Tape, a touch of reverb, MS stereo sound stage work, etc, and it was almost there. I added the Soft Sat. and it just did something nice to the floppy bottom making the first track of the day as good as its going to get.
I still used all three of my regular limiters (PL-2/TC Brickwall/L2, but just a bit of each, to control the audio before and after the ADC. Thanks Adam! |
Thanks for the comparison between Hardware and software version.(I use the L2 and TC Brickwall software versions)
I use sometimes my Apogee Rosetta 800 SOFT LIMIT too, and it's a good improvement depend on the source. It's why i create this thread. I know a lot of mastering studio use Lavry ADC now (it's why i speak about the Lavry and not Apogee...) and use the SOFT SAT.
So i think it could be a good improvement but can't replace a TC Brickwall or L2 or Pendulum for the final touch.
