Modern Interfaces & Excellent Audio

Probably every single Ableton session that I open up, whether I’m making my own music or enginering something — mastering or mixing for another artist or my own music — I put the Vulf Compressor on, usually the master.

I use Vulf Compressor on pretty much every song I make. I love it for bass, drums, guitar, and keys in particular. It brings out a particular warmness that I have not found in any other compression. It makes everything so much more buttery and old-school without diminishing the quality of sound. I love to use the Lohi plugin on backup vocals. I use the “tiney” setting often to create a distant and whispery atmosphere. I also use Lohi on drums, sometimes for a more muted and understated drum sound, which I like for certain ambient-style tracks. Goodhertz makes some of my favorite plugins! They truly elevate the sounds to the next level.

Goodhertz plugins have been my not so secret sauce plugins for almost ten years now, they’re all over many Coldplay productions.

CanOpener takes a great pair of headphones and makes them translate to speakers even better by introducing a little bit of crossfeed. What I like about Goodhertz take on this type of utility is they don’t introduce any type of correction or IR room simulation which has never worked for me.

You’ve created something really great here. I’m really a geek when it comes to certain things, like music, but not when it comes to technical stuff, even if I produce a lot of music. There must be a lot of engineering hours behind everything Goodhertz, but the result for a tech failure such as myself is something that feels musical. I’ve tried most of the plugins now, and they really inspire me in the same way an old worn out guitar or bashed out drums does. I can make music with them, rather than make mixes, and that is how I like to work with this sort of stuff.
