Reply To: Magnificent 7 Challenge

[Arthur LabusModerator]

Here's my go on that track.
This is double challenge for me: 7 plugins + final limiter and also tried to use "vintage gear" plugins.

Plugins used:

MIX
EQ: Code Red Free (Shattered Glass Audio) - EMI Abbey Road REDD.37 console
COMPRESSOR, SATURATION: BusDriver (Nomad Factory)
DELAY: Nasty DLA (Variety of Sound)
REVERB: Stereo Room 2016 (Eventide) - on drums bus only
TREMOLO: Pecheneg Tremolo - on bass track only

MASTERING
EQ: BootEQ (Variety of Sound)
EXCITER: ThrillseekerXTC blue (Variety of Sound)
COMPRESSOR: BusDriver (Nomad Factory)

LIMITER: Barricade CM (ToneBoosters)

Changed the bass run heavily with tremolo. Muted as usual a lot of things.
No samples - live drums only.

LESSON LEARNED:
- eq plugins with 250 bands are overrated (better say, good recordings don't need them)

Let me know how it works ...

UPDATE: automated amount of tape delay on vocal, less in general and even less in intro.
