Presonus Retro Mix Legends

[cclarry]

For better or for worse, modern music often just doesn’t sound like our favorite classic hits. That’s true partly because zillions of classic records were recorded on vintage analog hardware with the artifacts, non-linearities, and tonal imperfections that the digital era tried so very hard to stomp out. Retro Mix Legends takes advantage of Studio One’s unique Mix Engine FX processing to bring the classic analog sounds of three classic consoles to your modern desktop mix. Mix Engine FX is a proprietary signal routing technology that affects your music across all Console channels, rather than just in a single channel. These aren’t stereo bus plug-ins; Alpine Desk, Brit Console, and Porta Cassette are able to tap into individual signals from any channel to transform any mix with the State Space Modeled tonality behind the sound of classic albums from the 70s, 80s and beyond.

Are these new?  I have CTC-1 but haven't seen  these before.  I don't usually shop the Presonus site either, so...  ?

[mibby]

Yep, NEW!

Specifically, this is only compatible with Studio One Professional.

Before, only Softube Tape and PreSonus CTC-1 utilized the Mix Engine FX.  Seems that this replaces CTC-1.  Glad they're still developing the feature.

No, this adds to it!  ?   More flavors!

Any ideas what consoles Console Shaper, CTC-1, and Retro Mix Legends map to?  There's no overlap?

Not offhand, sorry. There are a few YT videos on CTC-1, and they DO sound different.   It's good to see them adding more of the Mix Engine FX.

Sorry, but you need it.

I am assuming these will be included in my Sphere sub. I will be checking later.

Just come to my studio you spoiled children of the digital age and I'll stomp them right back in, and as a true display of irreplaceable talent I'll do it inadvertently.

Just confirming that these are included in Sphere. I have installed them but not tried them yet.  I am hope to give them a spin over the next few days and I will report back.

An update, I decided to try the Brit Console on a couple of mixed I was finalising. I liked what it did and I am keeping it in there.

The effect is subtle but it dose add some "glue" for want of a better word. The most noticeable effect was a greatly increased export time, probably twice that of the export with out the effect.
