| Roll off toppy top ends (digital doesn't compress/saturate them naturally) and dont forget the mid lows. |

I like how you went straight to the core of the issue. :)
I didn't intend opening the analog/digital diatribe although it might be inevitable.
Let's see how it progresses. |

| Yesss, it would filter out the coldness. Hmm what puttin on a Hi Hat it can warm the head without ducking or you might loose track. |

| quote: | | Often it is believed that the pitched sounds (like piano,organ,choir,etc.) for a single note have a frequency, it's actually harmonics and nothing more. Many people try to synthesize a sound using an exact frequency+harmonics and observe that the result sounds too “artificial”. They might try to modify the harmonic content, add a vibrato, tremolo, but even that doesn't sound “warm” enough. The reason is that the natural sounds don't produce an exact periodic; their sounds are quasi-periodic. Please notice that not all quasi-periodic sounds are “warm” or pleasant. |

In the first chapter it has some graphs that illustrate the idea pretty nicely. I realize this is a manual for an opensource synth plugin but their explanations of "warmth" are very helpful. |

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... |
