Never leave my master bus ! My favorite plugin for sure. works very well on subgroups too.
👍👍
There is nothing not to like about this Plug-in. Simple, intuitive and adds that last 5% to my mix.
I have a multitude of plugins and I have become pretty adept at quite a few of them. I’m a composer/producer where sound and mix is as important to me as the musical composition. After demoing P455 Sidecar on a track that contained quite a bit of synthesized instruments, I was blown away with the sound on my mix bus. It was subtle but yet gave me “that” sound. The mix became balanced and present. I never had the pleasure of working on an API board (although I have many API plugin emulations), but if this software is anywhere close to that sound; I’ve missed out!
The concept behind this is brilliant. It is kind of a steep price, however, if your music is important to you, it is a rather small investment to your craft and possibly livelihood- no matter how many alternative processing plugins you own.
It’s lovely. I wasn’t sure if MDN’s signature sound would work with my stuff (I do extreme metal – death metal, black metal, etc.) It does! I love the new features from the latest update. Getting that center back by turning off the Stage Focus is perfect for my taste. This plugin has ended my hunt for some ITB analog mojo. The standalone EQ is a huge bonus. Using it on snare and vocals is a lot of fun.
