Totally fell in love

I was absolutely pleased with this plugin but I totally fell in love with the preamp section and the amazing drive. The Eq is really colourful and Need 31102 makes a great addition and awesome tool in my digital setup.

Start here first!

By simply enabling the preamp section on the 31102, you instantly get a rich harmonic low-end that works phenomenally on acoustic instruments.

A perfect channel strip

When I want to have the feeling and work vibes of an actual vintage console, Need has always served me well. The preamp section is where you will get the magic from. I love to push the drive knob to get richer harmonics, drive, and color to my tracks. The eq section emulates the hardware perfectly, with those selective frequencies that I always found that it is easy to get great results.

Go-to for the mixbus

I heard about NoiseAsh on Gearslutz… The real surprise has been the Rule Tec and Need emulations. Depth and great sound shapers. I’m a musician who wants quick results to mix quickly and send my tracks out for professional finishing. These delivery in spades, lush and solid, quick to dial in and give a very sophisticated sound. They have that hardware sound, authoritative and focused. I consider them a go-to for the mixbus, and a central part of my sound. Thanks for the hard work and dedication it takes to give us such wonderful tools to work with, I’ll be interested to see what you guys come up with next. I’m sure something good!
