You mean warmth in a mix?
you create warmth with a careful combination of mixing techniques:
compression
multibandcompression
sidechaining/routing
filters/eq
note selection
sound design
FX/send/return tracks
song arrangement
and some others too... |
You're just saying stuff at random. |

Try Kush Ubk, that is my favorite compressor for the warm/saturated type of compression and it basically has like 5 different compressors in one. (5 different algorithims/styles) |

There is a clear difference, but it can be done ITB as well
my tips for warmth:
- don't use additive EQ (> cut elsewhere)
- use reelbus http://www.toneboosters.com/tb-reelbus/
keep your RMS levels sane
IMHO all decapitators, toob emu's, saturators, distressor plugins "analogue" compressors ALL do more harm than good.
The best productions I get in my inbox are the most "clean" ones. Decent levels no crap on top for the sake of it.
often people confuse warmth with a hazy phasey artificial sound.
When talking real analogue warmth, it sounds more like 90ties loudness buttons (fletcher munson) but still very much in focus and real, not phasey plasticcy....
compare your tracks to i.e. Alexander o niell, Luthervandross or S.O.S. band for warmth and you hear what i mean. |

My work here is done.

Warmth for me is character imposed on sound by (mostly) the use of eq's/compression with distinct characteristics. Tape carriers could be applicable too (ironically I own a 80's tape recorder but never use it). Whilst I believe my tracks usually have a very round sound to it which is somewhat distinguishable I would not call them warm. Apart from maybe one private snippet.
On the other hand I hear tons of track which I'd consider to be very warm coming from a macbook mid-air in between Amsterdam and New York as well as a lot of music routed through armies of analogue equipment which cost more than I'll make in a lifetime sounding like a flacid penis tapping on slightly melting ice cubes.
It's not the tools which are the problem anymore these days. It's the cook. |
