DP40oz · 17th December 2008

So i finally bought PSP MixSaturator2 and jesus! This is what ive been missing in every mix ive done ITB. Basically using the Charles Dye method of putting just a touch of them on almost every track and the mix bus has completely brought my mixes to a new level.

I never could understand why my mixes sounded too real. It was like watching a sitcom rather then film. For years ive struggled with my reverbs and delays being too present. I couldnt get why the singer always sounded just too up front and not record like. How are these plugins not talked about all the time. I own all the UAD stuff, the Waves SSL plugs and no matter how good they sounded i never could get "That" sound. Now my mixes gel and i can be way more creative without the fear that a hall reverb is gonna sound completely huge and fake, everything just sounds right now. Ive been mixing professionally for years and this has to be one of the biggest realizations ive ever had. Just had to post this because it seems like nobody talks about the power of these plugins enough. Needless to say i will be getting the URS Saturation plug ASAP.
