The Mastering Show #86 - Mastering plugins - technical versus creative
As mastering plugins become more sophisticated and more technical, there’s an interesting trend towards making the interfaces… less so.
As well as traditional technical terms and numbered scales, controls labelled with less technical terms like “warmth”, “bite” and “colour” are becoming more common. And some interfaces are just… bizarre !
Is that good ? Or not ? In this episode Jon and I like at some more unconventional plugin user interface designs, and discuss:
Why technical interfaces can be a problem
When a more creative approach can be a good thing...
…and when it’s not
Some of our favourite ‘unconventional' plugin designs
But are they better than just closing our eyes ?!
Should plugins emulate the design of the hardware
And does it make them sound better ?!?
