The whole plugin thing is starting to make sense and appeal to me a lot more because of this journey. One thing left in my mind however is just how useful are presets are?
00:00 intro jam with new audio interface & plugin input settings.
2:17 what going on today? Well it wasn't the EF86 channel, it was me doing it wrong!
4:40 demonstrating the problem Cordy & Ed talk about, and what I got wrong in previous video.
6:59 recording the FM3 reference.
7:35 setting up the interface gain and recording the Neural plugin 'incorrectly'.
11:35 the solution, gain on interface to 0 and neural plugin input to noon.
12:32 recording the neural plugin with the correct interface gain (The Sokolowski Method).
12:52 comparing them back to back.
13:32 comparing the driven rhythm tones of the Neural plugin and FM3 with new test.
15:26 "why is this a big deal? if it sounds good it is good right?" - well kinda.
16:32 final thoughts and wrapping up.
