Hi:
Loving the VW,
can anyone direct me to help for big round, tight bottom and airy, smooth top.
using the vw on the final mix

the manual really seems to lack any direction.
thanks

What style/instrumentation are you applying it to? There's no one direction for everything...

mixdown

OK - I'll ask again....mixdown of what? Thrash Metal? Acoustic Pop? Bluegrass? Techno? Klezmer? You're going to have different settings for different types of music.

Yes. :p

Now, here's my favourite for l/r out used with no other compression/limiting and no other "warming" device.

Adjust "Drive" to the strength of your signal and "Speed" and "Release" to the rythm of your song.

Also listen to the amount of compression while turning the "Knee" knob. Somewhere above 10 the compression gets rather heavy for l/r out.

Sometimes I also vary the low/high frequency values to fit the material processed, the values in the dump is used quite frequently on my matierial.

Happy warming!

BB54,
thanks for the tip I'll give it a try

I would also suggest to try some settings with heavier Knee settings and greater Speed and Release multipliers but with reduced Mix to about 30-70%. That would provide dense sound wihtout killing peaks.

Regards,

Maybe you can point me int he right direction if trying tomaster hip hop, with big low end, and not killing the transients...whilst getting anice warm fat round sound?
