Just wondering if anyone uses this as a mastering plug? Im thinking of purchasing it but i have the psp mixpack already which contains the psp mixsaturator and was wondering if its basically the same as the vintage warmer?
 
I use it a lot, it is like a compressor, EQ, valve simulator all in one, however I found it took a while to get the best out of it and it works best when used with the milder settings, unless you want to mash something of course.

I have not used the mixsaturator so I can't comment on the difference.

Cheers

I have put the PSP Vintage Warmer across the master bus to create a demo mix and have found it quite tasteful if (as the previous poster stated) it is used in moderation, however out of the number of PSP plug-ins I have, for this purpose I actually find Xenon to be more useful and as you already have mixsaturator, you can use them together. Since you can demo their products, I would say give them both a try and see which one meets your needs better.
 
i'm using vintagewarmer sometimes for mastering & sometimes for mixing.
 
I've used it a few times when rendering loops but never found desired results from running it on the master bus. Just my opinion though.

I have heard it, figuratively speaking it's a fuzz box and I do not use fuzz boxes in mastering too often.

Yours must have been broken.

It sounds good on some things not so on others, but as I say with most things, you have to set it up correctly and use it in moderation.

Well enjoy the use of your Vintage warmer, I guess we agree to diagree, it is not to everyones taste.

cheers

I use the Vintage Warmer all the time - on individual tracks as well as for mastering. But not on every project do I run it across every track. Every project is different. I'll try it first. If it doesn't sound good, then I won't use it. I apply the same process to Mastering - I'll try it, but if it doesn't sound good, then I won't use it. I also have the masterpack (which I love and use very often as well), but again, the Vintage Warmer is something completely different.
 
I am not a recording professional, by any stretch of the imagination. Lately, any recording I do is for demos for work (shopping for gigs). I love the Vintage Warmer, and have found (in my limited experience and lack of ability) the Vintage Warmer can be extremely useful on the Master Buss if I've put together a recording that is lacking in character, vibrance or liveliness. It has also proven to be nifty on the occasional acoustic guitar or keyboard track.

I believe the MixSaturator is a little different, though I've never actually compared them to one another.

Maybe you could get your hands on a version for the purpose of checking it out & seeing how it differs from MixSaturator.
 
Anyone ever try using it New York Comp style? Seems like it could be a kickass sound for drums and bass

I've actually tried it on a parallel compression bus for drums. I liked the Bomb Factory compressor better for that purpose.
