I'm thinking that this might be a better manual than anything published by MDW so far, if you're technically inclined. |

Well...shiiiit.
Now I gotta buy this. Not even knowing what I'm doing with it, I can make my drum bus and bass sound immediately better.

Well…I can get pretty close with my usual stuff…but it’s interesting when you get a new tool and it takes you much less time to get to a place you’re happy with. Like - why am I chasing the sound of a plug that I spent ten minutes with lol.

Like - why am I chasing the sound of a plug that I spent ten minutes with lol. What kinds of things are you achieving? Leveling? Smashing things? I’ve used it on Drumbus and bass…it can get pretty smashy on Drumbus. Was able to approximate it pretty well with the Pulsar 1178 using the side chain eq detector and raising the oversampling. It was fantastic on bass. Got close with the UAD 2254 for bottom end, but man - it’s SO flexible. The knobs do shit. And it really reacts like hardware. You can completely take the point off a snare or big time transients and then slow the attack to get just the point you want. Very, very hardware like. |

You notice how softening the knee on the slow detector slows down the release? There’s so much hidden stuff in it and no manual and it’s easy to play with and hard to make sound bad. I haven’t felt this way with a plug since I downloaded Molot. Like the original. The GE was just like even more options and cleaner and with better saturation. |

The GE was just like even more options and cleaner and with better saturation. it is that vibe of saturation in the Molot that behaves so "hardware-like" that really surprised me. I suppose plugins will just get better and better and seem to be supply-chain proof - except for computer parts! I have not played with the MDWDRC2 as much, because I have a great setting I like on the Kotelnikov, but yes, the MDWDRC2 is also a phenomenal hardware-like plugin. I just need to play with it more. By the way, this is still a compliment to hardware. After all, not too many people are saying as a compliment: "Wow - this hardware sounds like a plugin!" Maybe that day will come as well. |
