I want to find out the methods you are using to warm up your digital tracks. I love digital for the power, flexibility, and ease of use. However, for me, it's not giving me that special warming quality that tape has.
95% of the time, I am recording 80's rock style music (Y&T, Whitesnake, Dokken, MSG, AC/DC, etc.). Electric guitars through Marshalls using SM57s and other condenser room mics.
I am using Cubase SX on a PC. I run my mics through a Mackie mixer and into my PC. Not currently using any high-end preamps or tube based preamps. I had a Millenia HV-3, but could not justify the difference in sound for the $$$. I also have a DBX tube preamp, but I am not happy with it either.
Are you bouncing your digital tracks to tape and then importing back into digital?
Are you recording guitars, drums, etc. onto tape and then importing into digital?
Are you using some type of plug-in?
Are your running your mics through a tube preamp?
Help me understand what is working well for you.
Thanks for your help.
