In this video I explore using an Elektron Analog Heat MKII as a mastering device. Utilising Elektron’s Overbridge software, I demonstrate how you can insert an instance of Analog Heat as a plug in at the front of a processing chain. The AH can provide some gritty attitude or used more subtly as an enhancer. Effective mastering can often benefit from a less is more approach and the Analog Heat allows for careful gain staging so that its effect is carefully applied and subtle. However if you want a more extreme approach, there is plenty of options here. This hardware unit is fabulous for making a lacklustre track sparkle and kick ass. I use it in conjunction with Izotope's industry standard Ozone which handles the heavy lifting of the mastering process allowing the Analog heat to give the song character.
