Shay-Dan: Your Scope projects look
uncomplicated. Can you explain their
basic functionality and do they change much from track to track ?
Dante: These are my base projects which I don't need to tweak
much at all. The large project on the top is the XITE-1D
project used mainly for mastering. But there's also a John
Bowen ProWave in there on synth Pad duties and the DAS SC_GATE there
to reduce incoming microphone noise when recording vocals.
On the Scope PCI (lower
project) I normally just run a single instance of proTone or Profit
synths - again John Bowen classics. The proTone is great for
minimoog style lead breaks, and the Profit is great on those 80's
style brass stabs.
Shay-Dan:
What mastering plugs do you use on the XITE-1D ?
Dante:
Well, there's the dNa MultiComp - this is my finalizing compression
beast and replaces 2 or 3 plug-ins from my previous setup. And
of course the DAS BrickMaster gives me my final level. I run
that so the loudest part of the track just touches below zero dB. |
