In this episode of the Mixing Music Podcast, Dee Kei and Lu dive into the ongoing resurgence of analog emulation plugins and why these classic tones still matter in today’s digital landscape. They break down the technological leaps in digital plugin development, the shift in modern musical trends, and what “warmth” really means when it comes to sound. From the nostalgic vibe of tape saturation to the precision of modern analog-modeled tools, they explore the strengths and quirks of both analog and digital workflows. Plus, Dee Kei and Lu share some of their favorite go-to plugins that bring character and vibe to every mix.
