三卷到卷的同一模型的磁带甲板,通常用于混音/主控,被采样用于星云。产生的四个磁带程序通常是微妙的,但可以驱动更明显的谐波和音调。还有6个混响程序,从我的其他混响库,然后印上和回来的磁带与两个这些甲板。这些混响给你一些工具混合使用,完善的收集。
下面是图书馆里的书:
Ax 102(甲板#1)- 2轨半”与ARIA电子,磁通磁头标准响应,运行ATR磁带,在15IPS采样,30IPS,和无磁带(这是3个独立的程序)。
Ax 102(2号甲板)- 2轨运行SM911磁带,在15IPS采样和没有磁带(两个程序)。
Ax 102(甲板#3)- 2轨轨“运行SM900磁带,采样在30IPS和没有磁带(两个更多的程序)。
总共有七个程序从这些甲板上采样(总共有四个磁带,和三个“直通”程序)。
还有“EQ平坦”程序,我从每个磁带采样,我使用一个线性相位均衡器提供一个平坦的频率响应,你可能会发现更适合使用在某些情况下,你想要更多的透明度(例如,精通)。这些节目甚至比主要的节目更微妙,但他们仍然有相同的谐波内容。
甲板1被热到足以提供一些压缩/饱和(甲板2和3没有)。由于星云工作方式的复杂性,我发现最好将压缩方面的程序与deck 1程序分开,放到一个单独的程序中。这个程序只提供磁带压缩本身(否则是100%透明的),并可以与磁带程序耦合,以提供一个更完整的模型,如果你想把它们压缩。它也可以单独作为通用限制器使用。
最后,有6个额外的混响程序,我做了’重采样’从我的其他库的混响的选择,到和离开这些磁带机在15IPS(只有甲板1和3被使用)。这些混响包括2从我的板释放和4从我的各种弹簧混响释放(包括一个从我的CX20)。他们没有采样可调阻尼器控制像许多混响在他们自己的释放,但他们仍然是非常有用的,有衰减长度和音调的范围。这些听起来不同,但类似的标准版本的混响。
总共有18个节目,它们都有44.1、48、88.2和96khz的采样率(你在购买时可以得到所有4个采样率)。
这个图书馆提供了极好的定制皮肤由Max Ponomaryov,又名azzimov!(你可以考虑在他的patreon网站上投稿,帮助他继续拍摄《星云皮肤》,或者在facebook上关注他)。N3和N4都有皮肤,允许您通过按皮肤上的按钮在不同的程序之间切换。我的N3皮肤已经有这种特性很多年了,但是Max发现它也可以和N4一起工作,这真的很酷!
Three reel to reel tape decks of the same model, typically used for mixdowns/masters, were sampled for use in Nebula. The resulting four tape programs are usually subtle but can be driven for more noticeable harmonics and tone. There are also 6 reverb programs which were sourced from my other reverb libraries, then printed onto and back off of tape with two of these decks. These reverbs give you some tools for mixing use, rounding out the collection.
Here’s what’s in the library:
Ax 102 (deck #1) – 2 track ½” with ARIA Electronics, Flux Magnetics standard response heads, running ATR Magnetics tape, sampled at 15IPS, 30IPS, and with no tape (that’s 3 separate programs).
Ax 102 (deck #2) – 2 track ¼” running SM911 tape, sampled at 15IPS and with no tape (two programs).
Ax 102 (deck #3) – 2 track ½” running SM900 tape, sampled at 30IPS and with no tape (two more programs).
That’s seven programs altogether that were sampled from these decks (a total of four tape, and three ‘pass-through’ programs).
There are also ‘EQ flattened’ programs I made from each of the tape samplings, where I used a linear phase equalizer to provide a flatter frequency response, which you may find more suitable for use in some cases where you’d like more transparency (for example, mastering). These programs are even more subtle than the main ones, but they still have the same harmonic content.
Deck #1 was driven hot enough to provide some compression/saturation (decks 2 and 3 were not). Because of the intricacies with how Nebula works, I found it better to separate the compression aspect from the deck 1 programs, into a separate program. This program only provides the tape compression itself (and is otherwise 100% transparent) and can be coupled with the tape programs to give a more complete model if you want to drive them into compression. It can also be used by itself as a general purpose limiter.
Lastly, there are 6 bonus reverb programs which I made by ‘resampling’ a selection of reverbs from my other libraries, onto and off of these tape machines at 15IPS (only decks 1 and 3 were used). These reverbs include 2 from my plate releases and 4 from my various spring reverb releases (including one from my CX20). They don’t have sampled adjustable dampener controls like many of those reverbs have in their own releases, but they are still very usable and there’s a range of decay lengths and tones. These do sound different, yet similar, to the standard versions of those reverbs.
Altogether there are 18 programs, and all of them are available in 44.1, 48, 88.2, and 96khz sample rates (you get all 4 sample rates when purchasing).
This library comes with excellent custom skins by Max Ponomaryov, aka azzimov! (You might want to consider contributing to his patreon here to help him continue doing Nebula skins, or check him out on facebook here). There are skins for both N3 and N4 which allow you to switch between the different programs by pushing buttons on the skin. My N3 skins have had this type of feature for years now, but Max found out that it can work with N4 also, which is really cool!
