I was just wondering how everyone works with external plugins and recall.
Are you still keeping recall sheets for external gear, or have you found a digital solution?
For EQ, has anyone ever used Q-clone to save settings and were happy with the results?
Are there similar plugins to this that you use? How about for compression / effects, and how are you preparing for possible future corrections to a mix? Are you printing these instances or relying on the plugin for a future correction?
I haven’t locked down a process myself, so I was just wondering how the Steinberg community works with this great feature.
I print everything, and also take photos and import them into the free vst plugin “Snapshot” in case I need to make a change on a channel that requires it to be reprinted. This way your recall photos are right there in every session.
For eq, I use EQ Curve Analyzer vst to show me the curve and I take a screenshot and add that to Snapshot plugin too.
For Compressors on a mix bus, I set up a couple tracks with tones and kick samples that crosses the threshold roughly about the way my track does and I print those, then phase flip them. Then if I need to recall, I use the photos in snapshot to get close, then fine tune everything until it nulls with the “live” tones and kicks…
Hi,
I started out using paper recall sheets, but it was a pain.
After some research I found “Session Recall” software. It’s a real relief for me. Check it out, maybe it will work for you.
