This was originally used to make up for differences in sound quality via different types of tape.ġ5ips towards IEC/NAB gives you more low end, while 7.5ips really scoops the sound.

Here you can adjust the input volume, as well as the balance and phase, but it’s most unique parameter is the Tape Equalizer. This time we have just a Limiter on our master track and will place TG Mastering Chain on it to begin mastering. You can still easily switch between the various modules while zoomed in. Though you can make general edits without having to zoom in, one of the biggest advantages to this plugin is M/S processing, which requires you to zoom in and change.

You can zoom into the display of each plugin from the zoom button above. The order of Tone, Limiter, and Filter can be swapped around as well. TG Mastering chain contains a INPUT, TONE, LIMITER, FILTER, and an OUTPUT module. However, it is incredibly well organised as a plugin and allows you to rather quickly master your tracks. The EMI TG12410 is still being used to this day, and was used on Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, Nirvana’s In Utero, Radiohead’s OK Computer, and other monumental works as a mastering tool.Īt a first glance, it’s many knobs and layout make it seem like a complicated piece of vintage hardware.

This plugin is modelled after the EMI TG12410 mastering console hardware found in Abbey Road Studios Room 5 is a faithful emulation of the console. Lets first take a look at the Abbey Road TG Mastering Chain.
