Some of the sounds I was hearing were incredible in terms of sheer impact. after the first round of mixing, Neil played a few of the songs for me in our NYC studio.
The morning following his return from L.A.
SSL DUENDE REVIEW SOFTWARE
So I was curious to know how Neil would fare with Duende v2 software and the new add-on plug-ins Drumstrip, X-EQ, and X-Comp. But he criticized Duende for stability problems with v1 software. He also spoke highly of Duende's standard channel-strip EQ and Dynamics plug-in. In his review of the standard Duende, Neil gushed about Duende's Stereo Bus Compressor plug-in, and he called it a "solid 10 out of 10" for sound and authenticity. But the Duende Mini, a compact version of the standard Duende plug-in processor that Neil reviewed previously (Tape Op #58), was crucial for Neil's sound sculpting. The 7720, an affordable outboard compressor that features an SSL-like character, didn't work out for Neil it didn't "warm up the bottom end" like an SSL bus compressor does, and the particular unit that was sent to him had problems with sidechain bleeding into the main audio path. So I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to set up Neil with a Duende Mini and a Chameleon Labs 7720 compressor. to mix the new Adam Freeland album, which features Tommy Lee on drums and members of The Distillers, Devo, Pixies, NIN, etc., he told me he'd be working "in the box"-without an SSL desk that he prefers for mixing. When my colleague Neil Mclellan informed me that he'd be flying out to L.A.
