I went with the Old Timer ME because it widened the stereo image slightly without creating gaps like the Overloud or a gross high end like Waves. This can get really wide, causing big gaps in a diffuse image. The m/s compression is great but it can leave gaps. The oversampling was like the DDMF Magic Death Eye Stereo so again minimum phase and harmful.

MJUC narrows the image and brings out the bass a ton. Old Timer is less 'guitar processor' than the Puigtec.

This is like a calmer version of Puigchild with better, softer timings.The lows are saturated slightly and the entire background is pushed forward and to the sides. This is dense and pushed at the same time. There's no m/s compression either, only EQ, so it's not really what I'm looking for. I dig it but it's very modern in a good way. Compressor Plugin (Download) Careful emulations of the legendary and probably most wanted tube limiters Fairchild 660 and 670 as well as 670 Legacy for UAD-2. Non-oversampled, this is killer and just makes stuff sound slightly better. You get weird phase shifted cymbals and guitar hash. The oversampling is minimum phase thus unusable on any thing with upper treble. Is the push just audible aliasing?ĭDMF Magic Death Eye Stereo. No distorted guitars and the upper mids are just weird. The m/s compression on this is nice but it doesn't have the widest image. Better than digital pedals but it can be harsh. The attack isn't awful which is rare for a modeled waves plug. Stories differ as to how Sherman had heard of Narma and his new compressor/limiter, but in any event Rein agreed to license the design to Fairchild, and Sherman hired him on as Chief Engineer of the company.Waves Puigchild 670.

Sherman created Fairchild Recording Equipment Company in 1931 to manufacture professional audio and broadcast gear. Sherman had numerous inventions and companies, many of which involved his two passions, photography and audio recording. While at Gotham, Rein developed the plans for a compressor/limiter, which he took with him when Gotham folded and he started his own company.Įnter Sherman Fairchild, heir to the fortune of his father, (one of the founders of IBM), and a genius in his own right. During his career as an audio engineer in the 1940s and 50s, Rein was frustrated by the limitations of the gear then available, and was one of the founders of Gotham Audio Development in 1954, whose purpose was to build quality audio components for professional use. Rein Narma was a genius inventor born in Estonia, who escaped the ravages of World War 2 and emigrated to America while working for the U.N.
