You've literally created one of the most concise and useful software presentations I've ever seen. You're obviously a teacher or have public speaking experience. :) That was incredibly watchable.

@PhilForHire Thank you for such kind words! And yes, I am a music teacher when I'm not in my studio cranking out some techno!

Just wondering, how do you do the quick toggeling between channel 1 and 2?

[JGS007]

@spaaske I have an APC40 controller, which has dedicated buttons for the mute/unmute controls in Ableton.

Amazing tutorial man, this is definitely A go to plugin. One question though, if i want to pump up a channel should i use it as a return track or as part of a channel strip with different settings depending on the track? And the question then should be, is this gonna load up my cpu? Thanks!

[JGS007]

@kozihoppy Either way would work, especially if you have several percussion tracks grouped or are being fully routed through a bus. Just remember that return tracks typically have their effects set to 100% wet, which would likely require careful "send" settings from the original track. If CPU is an issue, you can certainly use the MicroWarmer. Just trust your ears and constantly A/B for comparison. Worry more about the "blend" the plug creates as opposed to the "loudness."

awesome video dude

@Dubphazor Hmm, actually not sure now if that should be +18dB to compensate. I haven't actually used the VW, just stumbled across this vid. But some 'analogue-modelled' plug-ins like the Softube CL-1b & Slate Digital VCC observe analogue gain-staging. The CL-1b requires a Trim plug-in before it when working solely in a DAW as around -18dB is it's sweet-spot. You can set VCCs Input & then use the Gain & Drive to mimick analogue behaviour.

RE the 0dBFS Ceiling. If you're working with outboard gear then it's generally accepted that 0dB in the hardware world is the equivalent of -18dB in a DAW as you can push hardware beyond 0dB without any nasty effects & in fact sometimes quite pleasing results, but if you go over 0dB in a DAW it's Game Over.

So, if you set the 0dBFS Ceiling (0dB Full Scale) to -18dBs then your lower-volume outboard gear will be hitting the VW as if it were at 0dB (Unity Gain).

Jamie, the way I understand it and the way my friends and I have always used it, the Ceiling acts like the threshold on a conventional compressor.

Excellent videos. Thank you so much, No more presets for me.

What a great tut! Thanks!

Is it possible to share your mastering chain? I know is much to ask but it would be a great help to us beginners to get our tracks fat enough to a point that you can feel it pounding in you chest!
