Actually, the Creme is a bus compressor and equalizer. Tommy Dell `Olio of TNT Recording Lab from Italy proves in his review that even bass and leadvocals can only win by working with the Creme. Drums and master anyway.Here comes the complete video:
What Happens in the Video
Tommy Dell’Olio's "audio test" needs no commentary: just under five minutes of pure listening examples in which the Creme – on bass, lead vocals, drums and the master bus, as described above – is switched in and out. Best heard on good studio monitors or headphones.
What the Creme Is – and Why It Sits on the Mix Bus
The Creme is our bus compressor and mastering equalizer: a passive Pultec-style EQ and an SSL-style VCA bus compressor in one 2U unit. The order is switchable – EQ before the compressor or compressor before the EQ. On the mix bus the compressor pulls the separate parts into one whole, almost inaudibly at a 1.5:1 ratio, with a rhythmic signature of its own at higher ratios and faster timing; a side-chain filter keeps frequencies below 60 or 120 Hz out of the control circuit. The EQ offers a bass boost between 20 and 200 Hz and a high boost between 10 and 24 kHz, each 0–5 dB, every value on a rotary switch – which is why every setting is exactly reproducible. If you want plug-in recall, the Creme RC with motorized pots has it: Amazona.de reviews our Creme RC.
