Hi KRASNV - that particular setting is from Mastering Engineer Stephen Smiths custom collection of Ultralinear presets for UAD Studer. He has chosen the flattest possible reponses across the freq range for each tape type/speed. It allows you to use the Studer for its more subtle glueing and saturation rather than emphasising certain frequencies. So I would choose as flat/neutral settings/tape choice as possible with the J37 - although this being a vintage Abbey Road piece it possible its more charactful by nature. I have the J37 - I have mainly used it as a tape delay actually - but I’ll try and spend some time with it and try it in the same way I use the Studer. I’ll try and report back! Thx for your interest.

@KirkDegiorgio
Thank you! I also have Elektron’s Analogue Heat, which also has saturation mode. If you have experience in using it could you please share, I will appreciate it very much. (ps Everytime I come to Propaganda Moscow I like to see your name on the poster in the hall (“ACT VI” release poster)).

Thanks for this :slight_smile:

I’ve had scaler for about a year now and never really got my head around it. But that simple guide you had gave me a new perspective. Very useful.

And that tape emulation was solid stuff !

Thanks for this excellent tutorial.

Thank You Sir Degiorgio @KirkDegiorgio

Awesome tutorial, especially when Kirk goes over his process for mastering, tape emulation, and mixdown… this definitely changed the way I’m doing things moving forward.

This is my first Sonic Academy course I’m doing and I couldn’t choose one better. I’m halfway through, but I learned so much in such small time. Lots of inspiring tips here and there!

39

Really like this tutorial the only thing I would like to have seen more of is some creation of patches rather than using existing ones.

I understand both the reasons for and against this.

I’ll be keeping an eye out for more tutorials in the future!

Ok, this course looks great. I’ll try to start with it.
