The Mix knob allows for more convenient parallel compression, with 0% being dry-only and 100% compressed-signal-only. A high-pass filter in the sidechain-only cuts below 90 Hz, to reduce potential undesirable pumping triggered by low-frequency signals (like kick drum or bass) without affecting the tone of the signal itself. The remaining two controls on the Dynamics section are Waves' add-ons (not on the original console). The Recovery knob sets the release time, with six options (similar in layout to the Fairchild's Release control)'"100 ms, 250 ms, 500 ms, 1 sec, 2 sec, and 4 sec. The original EQ and Presence were stepped controls, but Waves has combined this behavior with a more modern continuous range'"clicking on the frequency labels, for example, chooses from just those frequencies, as on the original, while turning the controls with the mouse allows for continuous selection.Īudio Example 1 Instruments w/o, then with TG12345 EQ: The original Presence section's options were no doubt derived from the EMI RS56 tube EQ (also modeled in the Abbey Road bundle), but, in the TG console/plug-in, implemented with transistorized circuitry. The Presence controls offers Â☑0 dB at a range of frequencies from 500 Hz up to 10 kHz. This gives these EQs a cleaner, more open sound, but they still have a nice smooth character.
The Bass & Treble EQ controls are similar to the REDD.37/51 EQ'"shelving treble (10 dB cut 10 kHz) and bass (Â☑0 dB 100 Hz), with a peaking treble boost (10dB 5 kHz)'"but modeled on the solid-state electronics of the TGs, as opposed to the tube circuitry of the REDDs. The three options are EQ>DYN>PRES, DYN>EQ>PRES, and EQ>PRES>DYN. The plug-in's Routing switch lets you choose the order of these three components'"Dynamics, (Bass & Treble) EQ, and Presence. The MkII and later versions substituted the Presence EQ for the treble band on the Mic channels. In the TG MkI version, the (Mic) channel had Dynamics and simple Bass & Treble EQ, with another Dynamics section and a more flexible semi-parametric 'Presence' EQ on the Groups and Outputs. The Routing switch determines the position of the Dynamics and EQ sections. Below, there are three panels'"running left-to-right, Dynamics, EQ, and the Fader section, which includes some plug-in additions. Across the top of the plug-in window are input level controls (left), metering (right), and a routing switch (center). The original console was a modular design'"EMI called the modules 'cassettes''"with Microphone, Group, and Main (Output) modules. The plug-in comes in mono and stereo versions'"the stereo version has a couple of extra features, including the original TG's handy 'Spread' control (more on that below).
