I've been using this plugin for a good while, the more "organic" the track is, the better the effect plays to the ear. It's great for getting a vocal sound for instance.
Delicious bro" I didnt even know Heat existed, Thx Nothing can replace original analog. Not necessarily a bad thing when you have this awesome tools that add the type of warmth we all crave. Im going to compare this to my Universal audio tape plugins and let you know. I really loved the tube and tape on this demo.
If I am not committing an instrument track from MIDI to audio, I will route the output to a separate audio track for Heat processing. In addition I setup a pre-Master fader to be routed to the master fader for Heat processing. Great videos by the way!
I wanted to give you my real world setup. For my last handful of clients I've replace the Slate Virtual Tape Machine with this in my workflow and have been really impressed. I set it on the tape side. I start with it on and mix into it. 👍
@@matt_nyc_audioengineer at the"neutral setting" it doesn't ad harmonic-distortio. there are no harmonics generated as you can easily check via any anlalyzer pluging
@@AudioSorcerer One thought is about your comment about 'committing' an instrument track to then apply HEAT. The process of committing is something that would be interesting to focus on? When, why and how; as a suggestion for you.
do you use heat ??? and im finding it hard to understand how to really make saturation work for me. i understand it but thiers so many ways to do it. i have the slate sub and the mcdsp sub. does it go on every channel,,,should u just put it on the mix bus is heat a good go to for pt users ? is the slate vtm enough...its very confusing.....and as always thank you for the content im not bitching ....but im confused lol
Saturation is used to make something sound less digital, give it warmth, or to give it character. With that being said, I do use Heat and I use it on every track. If I wasn't using Heat I would be using the Slate VTM on every track. Some tracks I will add more saturation too beyond Heat and some tracks I will leave alone. There is no textbook answer on how to use saturation. You have to use your ear and make judgement calls. Even different of genres of music may play a part on how you go about making your choices. Hopefully this helps a bit.
@@AudioSorcerer ok cool thanks for the reply. against my better judgement im going all in on pro tools. i do understand ,for straight audio recording and editing, why it is still looked upon so highly. all the cool kids use it lol. but i do see why. im gonna work with heat and see where it goes. thanks for the content.....and damn now i have to go back to your tutorial vids lol

It definitely adds some flavor to the tracks! 👍
Thanks!
Thanks so much Tom!
It's subtle but it's clearly audible and offers a substantial improvement imo.
It's definitely worth using in mixing sessions 👍
thank you for showing how to use and find this
No problem! Glad I could help.
I like it very subtle but I like it, thanks for the tut!
It definitely is very subtle but it makes a huge difference. 🤘🤘🤘
@@AudioSorcerer Glad you folks said subtle. I was hoping it wasn't just my old ears.

Thanks for checking out the video! Let me know how it compares to the UA stuff.🤘

I'm curious what HEAT costs users in CPU and latency as well.
It would have been nice if you would have left the tone knob at a neutral setting. I don't know if I am hearing the saturation or the eq shift.

@@AudioSorcerer Very cool, glad you are happy with it. I use Logic honestly but I was curious as to what it was all about.

Interesting, but on my iPad I couldn’t hear any difference. But I believe your demo. Thanks!
No problem! This one is best to check out in headphones. 👍

Think of an empty glass(Audio Wave) that you are filling with sand. The Sand would be your saturation
Youre just adding harmonics to the Sound wave.
Why haven't you shown HEAT GUI?
Heat doesn't have a full fledged GUI.
@@AudioSorcerer ah ok. Thank you
unfortunately its seems like there is no anti-aliasing implemented in HEAT
Indeed :( It's the only reason why I don't use it
@@yohann_alek yes, same here...avid is a shame
@@yohann_alek do you hear lots of aliasing when working at lower sample rates?
explained very well, but not something I'm likely to use
I'm glad you found it helpful! 👍
Well... I do hear a slight difference, but not really a $199 worth of difference...
I normally use Slate Virtual Tape Machine as my main emulation, but I just did a session with Heat and it turned out great!
scam
I agree I have been using heat in place of the Abbey Road J37.@@AudioSorcerer
