VST Instruments & Outboards

Hello

 

I finished some track with a NI FM7

as leading part and it sounded very good .

But something for me was missing,I could really hear that its 100% digital and clean.

Which some people will like,but i want to make it more warm and "dirty".

 

So my questions to you guys what do you do to warm the sound a bit?

 

What make it more "dirty" ..less digital?

 

Hardware or more software ?

 

Ah forgot to write that i prefer not to lose the format off the sound .

 

Thanks

I believe the consensus on the KVR forums is something like Vintage Warmer

 

Cheers

Yip that's it. It rules for this purpose. Watch it though- it's easy to get carried away, I've been spending all day undoing a lot of the hairy warm-n-crunchy stuff I've done in the last month.

Or you could just play it through a small amplifier and mic it.

I also do this- unfortunately my little combo sucks, hehe. For some sounds it's great though, it's got that rattly metallic Fender thing going. If you can do this it's preferable to software "warming" (if you've got a good A/D/A).

Thanks you all for advice,

I will try the Vintage Warmer

[Griffinator]

I don't know that Vintage Warmer is really all that and a bag of chips, guys. I've used VW side-by-side with Steinberg's Magneto and Magneto kicks the shit out of the VW. It's also less processor-intensive, and plays nicely with other plugins in your signal chain - unlike VW, which killed my PIII 667 in mere minutes within a project that was only using 40% CPU before I plugged it in.

 

There's no accounting for taste, I know, but I'd say try Magneto before you mess with Vintage Warmer.

A similar plug in is AIPL Warmtone, also Blood Overdrive or something like that will dirty it up a little, or you could run it through one of the guitar amp simulators like Warp VST or Alien Connections Revalver or the amp sim that comes with some of the Cakewalk programs.

never mind.
