When it comes to warmth, the band we need to focus on is the low-mid - somewhere in the region between 200 and 500 Hz.
Whenever you're thinking about dealing with the basic sonic 'colour' of a sound, as we are when attempting to warm sounds up, the first tool that should spring to mind is EQ.Īs a starting point, it's useful to think of the spectrum of your sound as being split into 4 basic bands, as you might find on an old hi-fi amp: low, low-mid, high-mid and high. Luckily for us, there are a growing number of plugins and devices that can help us to simmer, bake and burn those hard-edged soft synths and VSTs into something altogether more snug and inviting and, when combined with the tips I'm about to share with you, this can be very quick and easy effect to achieve indeed! Given that the two are often presented as incompatible opposites, it seems we have something of a production perplexity on our hands! By the same token, the convenience, flexibility and versatility of today's digital synths and tools cannot be overstated. The analog sound is much sought after and for good reason - warmth, subtle saturation and crunch were the order of the day in yesteryear's vintage studios.
