Paul Third | Are you wasting money buying tons of analog emulations for that 'analog' colour? @PaulThird | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Are you 'ruining your mixes by using too many analog emulations and striving for 'analog' colour?
Ever wondered how much harmonic distortion and analog colour expensive hardware gear actually has.. lets test it!!
My name is Paul Third and I am a Scottish youtuber / audio engineer / mixing engineer / audio geek. I mostly cover audio engineering related content ranging from audio plugin shootouts / plugin comparisons (acustica audio plugins, universal audio etc etc) to actual analog vs digital / gear vs plugins plugin tests via access analog and mix analog. I even include ddmf plugindoctor tutorials in my plugin reviews so you can be your very own plugin tester and experiment and understand whats actually going on under the hood. I also discuss digital music distribution from time to time and like to give my viewpoint on online music distributors such as onerpm and distrokid.
All of my audio blind tests involving music production software are conducted in avid pro tools 2021 which is my main daw and I also use HOFA blind test 4U as my blind test software. In terms of my audio interface I record and monitor through my audient id44 and use an audio technica AT2050 for all of my voice overs.

1:22 what does harmonic distortion look like in analog eq's
2:22 harmonic distortion in vintage analog compressors
4:25 harmonic distortion in modern variable threshold compressors
5:10 why modern analog hardware units are designed cleaner
7:14 do plugins create more harmonic distortion than gear?
7:57 but if it sounds good, then it sounds good .. right?
9:16 but surely pro engineers use lots of 'analog colour'
12:05 should you mix into a limiter for better saturation monitoring?
