Playback: You Send Us Your Music, and We Play it Back

Gilberto Martin gets the party started right for this Friday's WebZine with "Let's Do It Tonight". Gilberto uses several UAD plug-ins quite well to create a great, horn driven dance track with rich backing vocals.

September '06 Winner: Gilberto Martin

Let's Do It Tonight

Gilberto writes:

I used the 1176SE on the main vocal, with the preset "Major Vocal Limiter". I love the warmth I get on the breath. I didn't change anything from the original preset, except the output volume.

I used another instance of 1176SE on the backing vocals bus. The settings for that are: attack around 6, release 5, ratio 4.

On the main mix I use the LA2A in limit mode to give it a little analog taste.

I use Realverb Pro as the main ambience reverb, and the Pultec Pro on the brass tracks to give them bright and sweet highs.
