SAND out now!

[nicolasmasset]

Don't know if this has been asked before, but how would one use SAND to truly go all out console emulation?

Doesn't Alex B's emulations have like a gazillion presets for everything possible on the console, like: line in, Pre, Sum, Bus line in, Master bus line in, etc...

When using sand on tracks, would I go:

Sand Mix A (to get in the console so to speak)
Sand Mic A (to get to the mic pre)
Sand Eq
Sand Comp
Sand Mix A (again? As a sort of summing output per channel?)

Is there any suggested workflow regarding this to get the most realistic console emulation? I know there's a channel strip, but on the channel strip you have to choose between Mix or Mic, though I would've thought you would need both, one to enter the console, and one to use the mic pre?

------

Or If I would want to use a Lime N**e Pre for my kick drum for instance, would I go:

Lime Mic A (as first thing when "tracking" so to speak)
Sand Mix A (to get in the console line level)
Sand EQ
Sand Comp
Sand Mix A (for summing to master bus)

Full console emulation (Mixing):
Sand Mic A (mic pre) > Sand Eq > Sand Comp on tracks.
Sand Bus > Group Bus
Sand Mix A > Masterbuss.

Lime Pre for kick drum with SAND (Summing)
Lime Mic A (first insert for "tracking")
Sand Mic A (optional if you want more color)
and add Sand Mix A > Masterbuss.

I would like to know why Sand uses less processing power than some of the Aquas when used as individual plugins. Only 1% / instance on my old mac (the eq w/2 instances). Amethyst needs much more, for example. Cool.

Amethyst is continuous, this costs in terms of CPU.

Thanks. Can you explain, continuous?

No steps for controls. Gain and frequency selection etc are continuously variable, they don't "snap" to values.

Ah! Thank you!
