BX_CONSOLE AMEK 9099 (Plugin Alliance) vs ACUSTICA AUDIO AMETHYST 4 || AMEK console plugin shootout
My name is Paul Third and this week on mixing wednesdays we are are looking at the new plugin release from the plugin alliance mega bundle. Long story short it is the amek 2098 eq plugin built into a channel strip plugin.
Both consoles are very transparent which is odd as rupert neve designed the consoles but again proof to how good an analog designer neve was.
We are looking deep into the acustica audio plugins and plugin alliance plugins via ddmf plugin doctor. We are matching eq curves and looking at harmonics and compressor saturation.
In this mix we are processing drums (kick, snare, overheads), bass guitar, electric guitar, horns, piano, lead vocal and backing vocals.
I used the brainworx mono maker and stereo width where applicable and also the soft clipping option in the limiter. hi pass and low pass filters used, TMT and THD (total harmonic distortion) adjusted to suit each source.
This is a mixing multitrack session that we are working on right now so was nice to hear the track with eq and compression. Hopefully it can help beginner audio engineers looking into plugin channel strips and also transparent compression.
