How to achieve a warmer overall sound?

[FLYINGJAY]

I use Vcc and uad2 ampex 102!

With Vcc the neve desk and 50's tube desk are the warmest.

And the ampex is to warm sometimes,but uad put some very good controls in ampex.

You can actual turn a lot of this on or off,to adjust warmth.

Or Dip a wide q setting on a eq at about 500hz at about 3 db,you should hear something pleasant!

Waves kramer master tape does not warm for me,it crunch.

You run key parts(if anything is separated)true a nice tube pre!

Nothing like real tubes.you won't be using any gain stages.just warm those tubes up and see how it sound.

I'll listen to your soundcloud tomorrow.

What I would do would be work on the instrumental EQ - certain higher frequencies if you just tame them a little, should bring out a little warmth.

That's a start, really, if it were me, I'd send it to me tho

"Warmth" is achieved in the recording, not the master.

If you mixed it yourself, you should probably send it out for mastering and tell the ME what you want. That being said, a HF limiter might help if you don't have access to analog gear. But the previous post is right. "Warmth" or any other certain sound should be achieved before the mastering stage.
