-We’re excited here at the studio about our new RØDE K-2 tube mic. The mic sounds very warm and musical on everything we’ve tried it on. Piano, sax, vocals all sounded killer!

-Continuing the shopping spree, we’ve added some great sounding eq plug-ins from URS for our Nuendo 2.12 DAW. URS are makers of classic eq emulations of Neve, API, Pultec, and SSL equalizers to name a few. We have ‘em here at Rainbow Sounds and they sound great!

-The Mastering Lab has also seen recent upgrades. To complement our existing analog and digital processing, we’ve added two great mastering quality plug-ins from Universal Audio for the UAD-1. The first is the Precision EQ. This is the best digital mastering eq that we here at TheMastering Lab have ever heard. It has a sound that is hard to describe since it’s so transparent. Let’s just say it has a very sweet and open top end and you can really tweak a mix without sounding like you’re doing anything at all. Sweeeet!!!! The second mastering plug-in in the Precision series is the Precision Limiter. It, like the Precision EQ, is very transparent. It really allows great mastering limiting with look-a-head precision…no pun intended. It’s great for bringing out the details of a mix without totally killing the dynamics.
