Description

I started with a drum buss from a recent project, ran it through the Rupert Neve MBP, and then ran it through the new Rupert Neve 542 Tape Emulators (500-Series).

  • I love how the MBP evens out the hits and makes it punch more without feeling compressed or pumping, and the 542's fattened it up a bit more and gave the track some oomph in the low-end.  I notice it the most when listening to the 542 track for awhile and then going back to the others which sound thinner in comparison.
